Well, let them. When he can't get any of his trash through Congress, they'll also hold it against obama...just like the AIDs hecklers.

This is just the media trying to instill fear int he winners...won't work.

Not surprising that the moonbats escaped. Only districts that are libtard-dominated would have elected them in the first place. Anything to the right of Stalin cleaned house.

“They will keep the political pressure on Obama to pursue a far-left agenda”......

Go ahead!....Bury yourselves for the next 200 years!

While the Democratic Party suffered a bloodbath on November 2, the progressives who basically run the party and control President Obama came out of the elections stronger than ever. They will keep the political pressure on Obama to pursue a far-left agenda, with the implied threat that if he doesn’t comply, he will have a 2012 presidential primary election challenger.

Oh thank goodness.

The so called blue dog democrats were thrown out of office because they didn't have the guts to put their principals above party politics. If Obama continues to move to the left he will be despised by 75% of the country. He will cement his place in history as the worst president ever.

And I surely hope they do. I don’t want any of these “progressives” to change their tone just to get elected/re-elected. They need to show their true colors every time they run for office and every day they are in office.

This is good news - someone even farther to the left of Obama will lose every state except California.

THX FOR THE PING.

Everybody in DC knows that if the repubs have the courage to confront the eligibility issue ALL the dems will be going down, because they all knew he was ineligible and all committed at least the crime of misprision of felony by refusing to report Obama and Pelosi’s perjury to law enforcement.

That would mean Hillary, Biden, Pelosi - the whole shebang.

The only way the dems have any chance of anything is if the repubs balk. They all know that.

The biggest question we face today is whether George Soros has the entire US government by the tail because we have allowed ourselves to be in such a vulnerable financial position that allows crooks like Soros to threaten to break the world economy. We may need to get ourselves backed away from the precarious perch we’re on financially before anybody can afford to break open the issue of the unconstitutional thuggery that has overtaken America with Soros’ communo-Islamist coup of putting Obama in office.

“The electoral “shellacking” he talks about came mostly at the expense of the moderate and conservative elements of the party. He never cared about them.”

but dem Senators that will be up for re-election in 2012 will care. And you also have all these state legislatures and governors.

Unfortunately, far left radical Neil Abercrombie is the new governor-elect of Hawaii.

#1 problem for Bammy and his fellow leftists is they don't have the votes anymore. If their further socialists plans can't pass in the House then they just won't happen. Those are the numbers, rats...read ‘em and weep.

Hussein has no intention of running in 2012, and never did.

[Personal Responsibility]

Yup - nothing like a good primary challenge to an incumbent President to set the tone for an election!

More to come this evening, in text and in netradio (10-M ET).

It should be pointed out that the progressives have more power but they’ve also left themselves somewhat isolated from more moderate democrats and democrat voters.

California will likely be(had better be)denied financial support from Congress, which will result in their bankruptcy. When that happens, a light will be shined for all to see the result of the ugly handiwork of leftist politicians and their supporters, who have a voracious appetite for taxpayer dollars. Then we can make some real progress in purging the Leftist ideology from the realm of political alternative,
