Bet she never leaves DC.

Why should she?

Like most of those going to Babylon-on-the-Potomac to seek their fortune, she left "here" and moved "there". She now lives in another country - one which is the national tapeworm instead of the brain.

Funny thing about DemonRATS.....they're pretty stingy about spending their campaign cash but have no problem squandering our cash when they have the power to do it.

“I looked over at DUmp and saw they’re talking about how many progressive policies they might get thru with Republicans controlling Congress...they must all be drunk.”

Not really. Looks who is in “leadership” of the GOP. Boehner. Kevin McCarthy. McConnell. John Wayne McCornyn. Reince Prebius. Karl Rove.

That is the short list of the RAT Party Dream Team.

Republicans stopped amnesty , hillary care, gun control ,higher taxes, global warming regime, etc. since 1994 when they finally had a majority in the House.

No, The American people did. Furthermore, global warming regime doing just fine today.

the only major country changing thing that got through since then was obamacare but every republican voted to stop obamacare and democrats only passed that when the democrats took the House and democrats had a super majority in the senate.

Personally I think republicans were allowed to vote no, because they had enough votes to pass it without them. Also, what have the republicans done to repeal, defund or stop it in any way? That's right, nothing.

now with much better numbers than in this period and you think they'll suddenly surrender to the media and Obama? ridiculous

No, I don't think republicans will suddenlty surrender, because in order to surrender, one must first oppose, and republicans do not oppose Obama, or the democrats or the media.

Republicans oppose conservatives.

Time to wake up.

The American people didn’t stop obamacare. bet you’ll blame that on Republicans too. but not a single Republican in congress voted for Obamacare so who do you blame ,the American people? no we Americans didn’t want it. it was your fault , and the democrats who passed it. you told us there was no difference in the parties so you stayed home and made many of us stay home so democrats took the HOuse.

the only reason Obamacare passed is because you people gave the House to democrats in 2006. as long as the House was in Republican hands no hillary care, no obamacare , no amnesty law, no gun control passed.

I haven’t missed an election since 1992, you silly, little G0P cheer girl.

I’m sorry that you have built your belief system on lies told you by professional politicans.

But you can continue to attack me if that makes you feel better about your mistake.

No, 1/2 of the government is not your friend.

i just state some facts and you resort to name calling . typical for a democrat party cheer girl like you .

all you have is name calling. you keep saying the parties are the same but you can’t even answer why then haven’t republicans passed amnesty , gun control, hillary care in 20 years since they had so many chances.

Her SUV was probably at her home. In Washington DC. So she probably rented one at campaign expense. I’m sure she keeps her $s separate from the cost of doing business.

I don’t like either party or government.

I don’t trust any politician.

The GOP hasn’t reduced the size and scope of government at all.

The GOP is not conservative.

Regardless of what power they have hold or not held, the government agenda has advanced, and they haven’t passed amnesty because they are ineffective and don’t have the balls.

But they certainly haven’t secured the border either, have they?

No, no they have not.

And I called you a silly little g0p cheer girl a) because that’s what you are, and b) because you assumed that I skipped elections.

Your mistake, but I forgive you without you even asking.

Incredible !

Had you stopped 100 random registered voters in Louisiana, I would bet you that no more than one or two could name the husband of Mary Landrieu, or what he did for a living. He was the invisible man for eighteen years.

GOP candidates must undergo a complete family-wide colonoscopy, from spouses, to children, to inlaws, and all before qualifying for office.

She probably got an unlimited mileage rental that was less costly than using a car of her own. Let someone else absorb the cost/loss. That is the liberal way!

And the people of N’Yawlins love her so much, they prolly won’t care that she lives in D.C. as long as she comes home a few days each month to transact business for the fair city.

Her loss this weekend destroys her brother’s chance of becoming Governor.
