Yabut yabut, that won't be for another ninety years.
after yesterday, my home district:
mayor: R
governor: R
sec of st: R
state house: R
state house: R
state senate: R
congress: R
senator: R,D
In Maine, the GOP captured the House, the Senate, and Governor. That trifeca hasn’t happened since 1962.
I’ve been saying that the real victory, although winning the House was great, was the wins at lower levels of government, this is where we have to start if we are going to ever take America back for real, and I mean with the freedoms we enjoyed back in the 50s and early 60s and before FDR also.
Yup. The flipping of state legislatures is the middle finger, and the senate and house are the other fingers and thumb folded in front of it. We could not have picked a better time to take the house by storm.
That's Latina. You'd think I guy in LA would know that.
The counter-revolution is both broad and deep. The marxists, uh democrats seemed a bit perplexed. Wait until 2012, 21 democrat senators are up for re-election. And think about all those old democratic committee chairmen in the House who now have lost their position of priveledge who will consider retirement, because it will decades before the democrats could ever turn the tide in the House to be in the majority again.
I think the really amazing thing is reading such good news in the LAT.
I'm counting on at least 2 states to enact their own marriage amendments by the next election. I also hope that more states enact amendments to nullify Obamacare until the thing is either trashed by appeal, or deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Ct.
I would have liked to know how many Congressional seats California will be losing due to their insane business practices driving people out of the state. I suspect there will be some lost seats.
I’ve been telling anyone who will listen that the real Slaughterhouse wasn’t in Washington, it was in the State Capitals.
Republicans basicly control redistricting now in all the growing states, and this will delete several more house seats, for at least a decade.
Plus, the States can now challenge what is happening in Washington, OPENLY
For the first time in 135 years, Alabama has a House and Senate both controlled by the GOP.
Governor - GOP
Lt Governor - GOP
Attorney General - GOP
Alabama Senate - GOP and cloture proof
Alabama House - GOP
US House of Representatives - +1, Now 7 of 8 seats held by GOP
US Senate - Both seats held by GOP.
North Carolina made great strides as well, starting at the local level, judges, county commissioners, all the way up to the General Assembly which is now in Republican control for the first time in over a century (look out Gov. Perdue). It’s regretful however, that we still have lap dog Mike McIntyre as our representative but he will be gone in ‘12.
This Marxist moron thinks of collectivist groups. I think we elected Americans.
I agree. The state legislators of today are tomorrow’s congressman, senators...and presidents.
These victories at the local and state level are important, because they're breeding grounds for Washington. Look at how much younger Republicans are vs Democrats in Washington.
...if they can only manage not to screw it up.
Don't play compromise bingo with liberals. Don't fall for Lucy's trick any more! We have NEVER gained ANYTHING from compromising with the Left.
Stick with proven, conservative principles and preserve an honorable character in everything you do.
Don't let the Left frame/spin conservative principles as "mean spirited", but always be ready to explain why it's the right thing to do.
Conservatism is the Right Thing, and it works every single time!
