Yup. I’m sure the EPA (The Employment Prevention Agency masquerading as the Environmental Protection Agency) will try to step in with new regulations...they’ll claim the White Democrat is too close to extinction...and they’ll need “special regulatory protections enacted”...


Don’t forget that the Voting Rights Act of 1965 is still in place whereby I believe it’s nine states still have to have the okay from the Feds for redistricting. Set asides and minorites are still protected via the VRA.

Can you believe that LSM talking points is that the election was not a repudiation of their wacko policies, because it was the moderates and conservative dems that lost, and therefore the lesson is they weren’t liberal enough?

Let 'em believe their tea leave-ism -- and ignore which way the wind is blowin'.

Remember, 10 Senators are up for election in 2012 in states that just moved to the Right.

And these things, when done properly reform-wise, always takes a 1-2 punch since not all are runnin' for re-election simultaneously.

So if some of them "tea leaf" to the left...while the rest of the country moves right...you couldn't ask for a better decimation comin' for the Dems!!!

“Someone ought to change the name of the “Blue Dogs” to the “Dead Dogs.””

We should start calling some current and past RINO’s, mad dogs. Trent and Pansy would head my list.

Yes, redistricting under that Act concentrates Dems in a few small black districts.

Top of the list for Next Time? Lindsey Graham.

You better be thanking your little pink tutu that you were not up this time around. Two more years, just two more years.

HA!
If she’s smart she will realize that.

She comes from a real political family.
Which means the ends justifies the means.

In these cases, a majority of the voters recognized that, even though their Dem rep may not have voted for Obamacare, he did (and would) vote for Nancy Pelosi.

Reason enough to bid him bye-bye.

The map in #29 above gives a good visual of what this country looks like in terms of political philosophy.

That was the first thing that jumped out at me, too. It can’t be because the Rats have been overtaken by extreme leftists like Pelosi and Reid and Obama. NOOOOO! It MUST be because the southerners and Republicans are all RACISTS!

If you want to see racism, go to New York, Philadelphia, or any large northern city.

"If you know the Senate's not going to pass something [speaking of cap and trade], why bring it up in the House when you also know it's going to be awfully controversial in these districts that are hard to hold," said Rep. Marshall, the Georgia Blue Dog who lost.

Rep. Marshall, you were thrown overboard without a life jacket because Pelosi and the other nice, safe uber liberal Rats in districts so gerrymandered that there was no way they would lose did it to placate their nutjob constituents in hopes that if they showed "courage", the Senate would follow suit.

Too “confusing”? I think that he is saying that we are just too stupid to realize the federal government was just going to take over 1/6 of the national economy FOR OUR OWN GOOD and that if you just give the federal government enough power and money, we would have the Utopian existence that socialist all over the world dream about.

Yeah, except that the electorate in North Carolina didn't get the message: They re-elected Heath Shuler and a couple of other Dhimmis who ought to have lost -- given that their districts went against Øbumbler in 2008

“the ends justifies the means.”

I hope we have the means to justify her end.

If you haven’t seen the new housing for Democrat voters in NO you should take a look. You can’t find anything remotely close to comparable on the market for the price they are going to pay. It will be trash within five years.
