Memo to the GOP. You had a great night on Tuesday. But remember: You didnt win it. The Democrats lost it.
This is not to say that you didnt show discipline in making the election a referendum on six years of Barack Obama. You exercised adult supervision over the choice of candidates. You didnt allow yourself to go down the byways of gender and other identity politics.
It showed: a gain of probably nine Senate seats, the largest Republican House majority in more than 80 years, and astonishing gubernatorial victories, including Massachusetts, Maryland and Illinois, the bluest of the blue, giving lie to the Democrats excuse that they lost because the game was played on Republican turf.
The defeat a massacre, the Economist called it marks the final collapse of Obamaism, a species of left liberalism so intrusive, so incompetently executed and ultimately so unpopular that it will be seen as a parenthesis in American political history. Notwithstanding Obamas awkward denials at his next-day news conference, he himself defined the election when he insisted just last month that these [i.e. his] policies are on the ballot every single one of them.

I really want to see them ban the use of the TelePrompTer in the Capital building. Watching Obama give the State of the Union speech without one will be priceless.
The GOP wants to trade and share the oil with Democrats instead of nurturing their base.
The GOP is foolish and corrupt. They do not address the people, they address the Democrats who address the people, as if they had conceded to them the role of motherhood... Abortionist prostitute science pimping motherhood.
The planes....letters.....bushmeat....are still coming from africa.....

If the Washington Pest says “Massacre” for the Liberals, then it must be really bad.
Let him veto that one.
The problem is, our GOPe RINO Quislings don't want to protect the border from the invasion either.
Excellent op-ed by Krauthammer and a very good way forward IMHO.
