Might want to put a lid on it until we see what they actually accomplish with their majority win.
Anybody have a demographic that shows the Hyphons distribution of votes? Still 10% democrat no matter what right?
However, I've seen far too much of the "This is the day when everything changed" hyperbole in my lifetime to believe that things are radically different. Politics in the US is generally played between the 40-yard lines. BO tried to run a hail mary, and failed this week ..... so we'll be be back to midfield again.
IMO, this is a positive thing. A government that governs least is good.
Just my unsolicited $0.02. YMMV.
proponents of sodomy and abortion do tend to overplay their hand
I think it’s time for Republicans to stop regarding blacks as a special ‘constituency’. The act of patronizing is racist in itself. The message should be clear. No hyphen-Americans, just Americans. We want EVERYONE to succeed. A rising tide will raise ALL boats. That is the message to send to blacks.
(Proverbs 24:17–18) [KJV]
Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
“This election reveals that the relationship between the black community and Democrats has been damaged. This is not to say that blacks are turning toward Republicans, but they are simply staying home and not voting Democrat.”
Are they part of the two-thirds of voters that stayed home Obama was threatening?
The Democrats fight, and they are never more vicious than when they lose power. If anyone thinks they do not have the ability, power, and desire to roll over the (current) Republican leadership, they are sadly mistaken. Laugh at your own risk, by this time next year it could very easily be Republicans imploding.
The elections were a triumph. But the RINOs are planning to negate their importance. Best the author channel her energy into keeping the pressure on Republican legislators to perform as Conservatives.
Enough of these gloating articles (I mean in general- I’m glad you posted the article). Dems are smart enough to not repeat the same mistake two elections in a row. If we want to retain the Senate and House in 2016, there is much work to do.
Just desserts.
The MSNBC Meltdown Montage (link from the article):
Blacks would be more at home with Tea Party types like me than Democrats or establishment Republicans. Democrats and establishment Republicans alike repeatedly slandered Tea Party folks with charges of racism - the Devil IS the accuser. The more we can do to fix the economy, break the government shackles on producers, drive the leftists out of education and fix it, the more opportunity and success they will have. I am all for it.
I am tired of giving handouts and being taxed to death to finance the Democrats’ unending fraud against black people. I want them taking advantage of real pathways to opportunity success . . . something Democrats have NEVER offered them. It is better for them and it is better for me. Blacks need to understand that there is nothing in it for folks like me for them to underachieve and be held back. I wish them all good, hard-earned success.
The Republican Congress should have two main goals:
1. Requirement for ID before you can vote.
2. Reigning in the MSM (propaganda arm of the DNC)
There are two things you can always count one: One, that the Democrats will overplay their hand, and two, Republicans will always fold theirs.
No they didn’t! Tell ‘em to keep playing the same cards!
