“Au Contraire, Mon Ami. When only 35% of the population votes in an election, and the blacks vote IN NUMBERS, you have a near 50/50 split of D’s and R’s, anyway, and they (blacks and illegals, combined) to tilt the Election one way....towards freebies.”
WOW! I am impressed. That is so sophisticated; so continental. However, I would like to explore something you said. It is my understanding that there was a much higher turnout of voters, especially conservative, Tea Party types, than there ever has been.
I know that was the case where I live. We swept 14 out of 14 races. We booted every Democratic incumbent to the curb and defeated every Democratic candidate. So there may have been more than 35% of the people who voted nationally.
Secondly, you sound as though great numbers of illegal aliens voted. I would like to see/hear about, any documentation you have confirming that assertion. I am fully aware of the slimy machinations of ACORN and the unions. I also regret the unfortunate tendency of my people to rely so heavily on handouts from the government. But they are not alone. Did you ever watch the Caucasian trailer park citizens on Cops?
They do not understand that welfare has never been anything except a trap intended to keep blacks and others in poverty and voting for Democrats. They don’t understand because public education fails, deliberately, to educate. All of America’s children who go through that system are dumbed down and subjected to revisionist history.
This has resulted in a work force that is largely incompetent. Try to do business with clerks, secretaries, fast food workers, etc. It is enough to make you want to cry.
I apologize. I have come off subject, but I do get wound up when I consider what has been done to our country. You of course may be right. I am just not ready to accept your argument. No hard feelings whatsoever. We can still disagree in America. Of course that might change if Obama gets a second term. (Smile)
This was a MID-TERM election, and the numbers of minority and Leftist voters was diminished overall, HOWEVER, in the Democrat-dominated inner-cities, and in the Southwest, the results were typical. Harry Reid's win is a prime example of what the illegal and Union GOTV effort can do. A long-term incumbent there could not be un-seated, due to the efforts of GOTV of their prime voterbase. Because we do not allow documentation or proof of Citizenship to vote (we can't even get photo Voter ID in Dem. strongholds), votes of law-abiding LEGAL American Citizens are negated and offset by illegals and Fraud.
Hopefully, gerry-mandering in areas that are sliced/diced to produce Democrat wins will be un-done by new Republican majorities, which have have a major impact on Local and State representation, but what needs to be done is to Repeal the Senatorial Election process back to having State legislatures select the U.S. Senate candidates, instead of the multi-million dollar special interest promotions we have now (on BOTH sides). We The People have little opportunity to have quality candidates to support, as they can't get past the super-funded choices of The Party.
Sharon Angle, Christine Odonell, and other Conservatives were FINALLY able to win some Primaries, but the State-Run-Media, Unions, and corporate funding kicked in and smeared and over-powered their efforts in the Election itself. The power of Government Employee Unions cannot be under-stated, and there should be NO Unionization of Public Employees allowed, at ANY level of Government. There is no excuse for those who are employed by the taxpayer whereby they need Unions to protect/negotiate/extort their benefits and pay, nor should the Gold-plated pensions and benefits be at the levels that dwarf the private sector anymore. This has caused the fiscal messes in Kalifornia, New York, and Illinois, and is the near ruination of other states, as well. Likewise, Teachers do NOT need Unions (except to protect them from being removed when they are incompetent).
My experience of several decades of dealing with Bargaining Unit people is that the purpose of the Union is to allow un-qualified people to live on Seniority, and where their skills and work habits would get them fired easily, the Union Rules prevent them from being identified and removed.
