The “folks” were apparently just “frustrated” that “progress” is just too slow.....
Just keep thinking that when we bury you!
I thought that the “wave” of 2006 was because of conservatives staying home. In 2010, the conservatives went back to the polls.
As an aside, I am so tired of hearing about the “turbulent” Bush years. The turbulence was entirely created and sustained by the media . . . to the point where people couldn’t stand to listen to it anymore and just wanted it to be over. Unfortunately, this attitude made the electorate easy pickings for Elmer Gantry Obama.
I’d have to say this is the best analysis of the election that I have seen. The Republicans should all read this.
The radical left media in America has as much to do with this disaster as the vile little socialists in office!
Thank McCain Feingold for 2006/2008 and Obama.
Let them ROT in the rat-infested, bed-bug ridden, filthy shit-holes their marxist ideology has produced.
Their only "solution" so far is to drag everyone else into hell with them.
This guy is off in a dream-land all his own...
This is the first time since the 1880s or so, that the Democrats have had less than 200 seats in Congress.
19 state houses changed hands in this election.
We picked up a lot of Governor seats as well.
Reapportionment is upon us. Those 19 states and California are going to get a better shake-out this time, because they have a Republican majority, or in the case of California the reapportionment has been taken out of the hands of the elected officials.
“Return to the norm?” Sure he jests...
Abuse? uhhhhh- guilty...sorry, but abuse from the left begets abuse from the right.
Good take, however, REDISTRICTING will now give Republicans an advantage, even if they screw up!
I would love to see this. The only problem is that rats always go after the cheese. The lazy, the corrupt, and the wicked will go after the hard working and the prosperous, and take.
It has always been, and it always will be.
I don't think so.
The events of the last six months, thanks to the Tea Party philosophy, has energized millions of angry ordinary citizens of all political parties. They are not going away any time soon.
Among other things, I am sure that I am one among many who will keep track of the voting record of all our elected representatives, both at the state and fedral levels, to counter the totally cherrypicked BS we saw in their slick pre-election brochures.
Also evident is the breathtaking amount of cash spent by unions like the SEIU and that Soros doofus and government employee and teacher unions on behalf of certain candidates.
McNerney, Boxer of the Congress and Huber of the California state Assemby, and that total fake Jerry Brown come to mind...
Return to business as usual?
In your dreams. Parasites, both unemployed and on permanent welfare, start planning for a big change. It may take a while, but it is inevitable.
Can't tax what we dont have; and the stuff HAS hit the fan.
Wake up and smell the coffee!
Correct !!!!
the democrats had a 78 seat majority in the house, not a 54 seat majority. They won a bunch of special elections as well.
it was 256D-178R for the 111th Congress. Now it will be about 239R-196D or something
RE: We need to do the “Escape from New York” scenario in which every “BLUE STATE” is sealed off and people need a permit to leave...
Lest people forget, the USA had that chance you were mentioning above 150 years ago.
Abraham Lincoln decisively put that idea to an end at the cost of 620,000 lives.
I don’t think people would want to re-live that horror again.
Our Texas StateHouse went from 76-74 Republican to 99-51, from split to 1 vote shy of 2/3rds majority and quorum. You have to look back past Reconstruction to find a similar advantage.
A return to the Norm? I don’t think so.
Redistricting is coming up, Texas is going to gain 4 new seats, and these 99 Republicans are going to decide how they are drawn.
Let the Dems go hide out of State this go around of redistricting to prevent a quorum: they’ll need every last one of them to do so.
After the 1928 election, during the 71st Congress (1929-1931), the Democrats had 167 seats in the House and 39 in the Senate. In the first 15 Congresses of the 20th century (1901 to 1931), the Democrats had over 200 members only in 5. In the 57th Congress (1901-1903), both parties had fewer than 200 seats (the size of the House was smaller then, 357 seats vs. the current 435).
Texas has always been different. In fact I wish all other states thought and acted like the Texas voters.
The following states are more or less hopeless : California, New York, Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland, Hawaii and Washington.
Glad they’re the minority in this Union.
Equal blame to go around.
There is the go-along-to-get-along RINOS, all of whom haven't been retired to used car sales.
Then there's the disengaged working voter, too busy buying stuff and watching reality shows to realize that the parasite termites had already chewed up most of his fiscal house. It's not too late for them, but the parasites now have their attention. Whether the outrage lasts remain to be seen.
Finally, there's the "tinfoil factor."
I have resisted the conspiracy of the radicals; the cancer working its way into our national soul, working to destroy the spirit that produced them, and hoping to replace both the American Dream and the American soul with ignorance and a win-or-destroy mentality.
Yes, I believe the spirit of the 60s radicalism never went away. They have just been burrowing from within for decades, and finally achieved the reins of power.
Getting rid of them will have to be as ruthlessly merciless as their jurney to the top has been.
Count me in, army of "I want my damn country back!" All of it.
Sealed off blue states... just a figure of speech, of course. Totally unrealistic and, I thought, obviously so. An economic “boycott” or avoidance of having anything to do with such states is, however, possible. Just don’t go there and, if you can, don’t send them any business. I wish FOX would move out of NY and go to, uhk, maybe Kansas or Texas or somewhere.
