Election results warn Barack Obama and Democrats of disastrous 2010

Election results warn Barack Obama and Democrats of disastrous 2010

Tim Reid in Washington

Barack Obama and his Democratic Party were given clear warning yesterday that they face a potentially disastrous 2010 after big Republican victories on Tuesday signalled mounting voter discontent with the economy and the President’s spending plans.

The Republican gubernatorial victories in Virginia and New Jersey also revealed significant cracks in the broad coalition that swept Mr Obama to power last November 4 and showed that floating voters — crucial to his win last year — are defecting to the Republicans in droves.

The defeats came as Mr Obama’s hopes of achieving universal health insurance were dealt yet another blow. Harry Reid, the Democratic Senate majority leader, said that Congress will probably not vote on the issue until next year. That means that the health reform debate will now slip into mid-term election season, with many moderate Democrats, facing voter concerns over the exploding budget deficit, less likely to back a plan set to cost about $1 trillion.

Volunteers must be organized now to expose voter fraud and then ensure that it is prosecuted.

But botox Pelefty said the Dems had a “victory” yesterday. Does botox affect brain cells?

Regarding Hoffman Upstate NY:

I am told "the race really isn't over yet either because there were some voting machines that were confiscated last night with a supreme court order because they supposedly weren't working right and one of the towns was Potsdam, so Hoffman might well pick up some more votes" plus absentee. 3-4 towns involved.

Anyone updated?

“big Republican victories on Tuesday signalled mounting voter discontent with the economy and the President’s spending plans.”

Why do we have to look in European papers to get objective news reports? The AP needs serious competition. Anyone interested?

Her brain cells are like an ‘acorn’, with thick shell around it. They are alive but no interaction with other brain cells. As a result, she can't think.

Shhhhhhhh....don’t let our American media in on that. They’re asleep dreaming about their WH love object.
BTW, I just got a Tweet from Charlie Gibson:
“2009 elections? Never heard of them.”

"The Republican gubernatorial victories in Virginia and New Jersey also revealed significant cracks in the broad coalition that swept Mr Obama to power last November 4 and showed that floating voters — crucial to his win last year — are defecting to the Republicans in droves."

The money quote, and the elephant in the room that the Dims are refusing to look at, or admit to.

Hey Obama! It's the Socialism, stupid!

As Frederick Douglass said, "agitate, agitate,agitate!" When any of those lying Demwit bastards, the members of the Party of Treason, say that, it means, "until you're not paying attention". In 2006 they won on the drumbeat of pulling US troops out of Iraq -- and then got their asses handed to them by President Bush, who *increased* US troop strength in Iraq. Pelosi and her pack of rats folded. Soros and the various left-wing subversive orgs that he funds took over the Rat party, and are going down to defeat again. We just need to make sure it sticks this time, whatever it takes.

Because they're someone else's state-run media, and can tell the unvarnished truth about American current events with impunity.

I haven't compared US media reporting on European affairs to their news outlets to see if it's mutual.

So I have been hearing all day, first from Rush, that blacks and young people stayed home. Now I know that was a good thing, but will this continue now that the Messiah is in charge? Will they reappear in 2010 to screw us up again? It should be an interesting year.

She might very well be stupid, a moron bereft of not enough functioning brain cells, but...

She is a LIAR. Liars lie. It's what democrats do.

I am really sick and tired of the cute little lies that go completely unchallenged by the national media but are setting a terrible example for our body politic and our children. Obama “says” he wasn't following last night's elections. Lie. Gibbs says he knows nothing about the website that encourages people to take names of people who oppose health care reform. Lie. Pelosi saying last night was a big victory for the democrats. Lie.

They're almost totally disgusting, but the ones who are the most disgusting are the media who do nothing but nod and wink at all the cute little lies.

I think they will stay demoralized. Unemployed and sulking at home are no fun. However, Zeros is still kissing Wall St.'s butt and running up debts future generation has to pay.

Somebody inside Zero's camp may be tempted to stage some event in which Zero is 'almost martyred.' Since that is one of the ways to turn this situation around.

Maybe Charlie was too busy masturbating to the HBO special about the Obama campaign, while thinking of new ways to ask Sarah Palin about the Bush Doctrine.

Hey Democrats!

YOU ARE NEXT!

Virginia and New Jersey were just the opening acts.

We The People are angry over the senseless destruction you have brought to our doorsteps.

See you tyrants in November 2010.

Oh Lord, that would be something, and a quick way to get sympathy for him. It does seem like it is always something with this white house!

And the Prez watched a documentary on HIMSELF to keep his head buried deep in the sand. These folks are really living in an altered universe with unicorns and pixie dust. I think he will be carried out of the White House in a straight jacket on Nov 2, 2012.

They don’t have a (ideological) conflict of interest MSM in U.S. has.:-) The conflict of interest starts early at journalism schools, which are almost 100% lib.
