Republicans kick some Democrat butt

[kaz]

If anything is easy to predict....it is that the president will stay classy and work his ass off for the good of the country.

OMG, what a tool. When I think of Democrats losing, I'm excited, but that's always followed by a thought of letdown when I remember that means Republicans won.

Results are in and Republicans have won major victories at all levels

Should I blame?

Low information voters?
Republican cheating?
Voter suppression?
Right wing media?

No, I'll just chalk it up to Republicans running some good candidates who kept their mouths shut and avoided shooting themselves in the foot. Republicans avoided the Tea Party nonsense and ran some candidates who appealed to their constituents.

...with ads about Ebola in their drinking water and ISIS militants living next door. It was shameful, pandering to people's fears and feigning folksiness they don't sincerely possess. In other words, appealing to the 85% who don't scratch beneath a 20-second television ad.

Oh shut up, you lost because your president is a loser. Now it's time for the adults to take over, step aside.

When some adults do, I will.

CNN announcing "Great change" is false,misleading and downright stupid. According to the constitution, the house of reps control the policy not the President,Vice President, Senate or the man in the moon. That republican house has blocked Obama at every turn since 2008 and the blame is on them for bad government for 6 years. We have the most economic recovery points in 22 years, the lowest unemployment (6.3) in 18 years. Obama brought home our sons and daughters from Iraqu and Afganastan as promised. Millions of Americans are no longer walking around sickly because they can,t afford healthcare.. When republicans could not block him,sue him ,or impeach him. they shut down the entire government.........Now the electorate gives the GOP total control of Washington?? CNN talks about compromise? Are they really that stupid? Democrats have no say at all in government for the next 2 years. Not one single thing that happens over that time can be blamed on anyone except the republicans.

Wait and see what the GOP says about 'obstruction' now...

Reid is gone so work will get done. Looks like Obama's golfing schedule is going to be lighter.

My congratulations to the Republicans

Classy response thank you let's hope the President and Congress can finally get something done for the good of the country.

If anything is easy to predict....it is that the president will stay classy and work his ass off for the good of the country.

Bigger Government is not for the good of the country.

the Teabaggers are going to pat themselves on the back and dismiss the fact that the Establishment saved them from themselves.

You really don't actually follow the news. The tea party has clearly established that they don't think this. They don't celebrate the victory of establishment Republicans. There's something seriously wrong with you, Joe. You need major help.

Well done.

And your point is the key: Do they see the importance of the quality of their candidates, or will too many of them twist it into some kind of Tea Party mandate?

I'm looking forward to hearing Mark Levin's reaction this afternoon. He's hardcore Tea Party, so it will be interesting to see how happy he is.

.

I don't think you can call Mitch McConnell a tea party guy. This was a win for the GOP, and so a victory also for the Tea Party. But it wasn't a "Tea Party" mandate or anything like that.

That and the 6 year itch. Two term presidents since Ike have lost Congress in their second mid terms. I think the Democrats strategy was flawed. But I'll let the GOP enjoy their moment of jubilation.

Wow, great question. Are you going to follow it up with other insights like what does water is wet mean?

OK, Chickie, it means more government spending and more bureaucracy. I mean duh. What else would it mean? Did that sound good to when you wrote it?

BTW, I thought that the GOP was dead? The way you lefties were talking the GOP was now relegated to permanent minority status?

Sad but true.

In exit polling, the people stated the Economy was one of their biggest concerns and a majority mentioned in a CBS exit poll that they have the same wages or lower than two years ago.

Now how can that be with a stock market so high? Oh right. Because CEO pay is tied to stock performance. How do companies keep stock prices high? By keeping profits high. How do they keep profits high? By keeping costs down. So what is the biggest costs for employers? Labor costs. That's right, YOUR JOBS.

Now let's ask some simple questions. Would this situation be solved by legislation passed that limited how much of executive pay was tied to stock performance like maybe 10-20%? Yes. Because it would be the driving factor of these reckless, short term decisions that are destroying the US economy. Would corporations be shelling out $4 billion dollars to Republicans if they believed they would put those limits on their pay? Hell no.

So if your main concern is your personal economy and you voted Republican, you can just STFU now because you voted against your best interests. Companies aren't going to raise your wages, in fact they are trying to find ways to eliminate your job or find it for cheaper somewhere else. All you did was elect the people who want to keep the status quo.

That would be a great point if it showed Republicans celebrating Rinos. Since it doesn't, there's a point?

Yes, the #1 issue was the economy. Democrats can't process that. They think socialism is good for the economy.

Yeah ... I wonder how passing legislation through Congress and putting it on the President's desk is ever going to help them shake the "obstruction" label.

Reid will no longer rule the Senate so he is not gone, just the minority Leader and he can still do some pretty good damage.
