Want me to throw in the Obaama kneepad accessories for your Boehner Bobblehead doll, there?

Well, you're definitely a foul mouthed type of person. Not what I expect to see on a family oriented site.

That's what I've been trying to tell YOU.

LOL, you're such a dolt man. I mean, I guess every forum has some dunderheads like yourself, but it's difficult to believe you can really be this slow.

This was the comment I originally responded to from tenmountainman:

Throw all the bums out election on both sides.

Here was my response to tenmountainman:

Really? Are we back to this silly populist sounding nonsense? This "throw all the bums out" stuff has never worked. It's a meaningless statement. If you throw a Republican out, you're going to get a Democrat who is more liberal. Period. There are no candidates from any other party's that are going to win these seats. It's either Republican or Democrat. If you throw a Republican out, you get a Democrat. If you throw a Democrat out you get a Republican. If you have a "throw all the bums out election" the House would switch to Democrat control and the Senate to Republicans which would result in no meaningful change.

To which you barge in and said to me:

Forgot 2010, troll-boy?

My original point stands. 2010 was NOT a throw all the bums from both sides out election. Why you elbowed your way into the conversation with a bunch of insults and stupid commentary I don't know. You're wrong as usual, and you've accomplished nothing more than to make a jerk out of yourself.

Well, you're definitely a foul mouthed type of person. Not what I expect to see on a family oriented site.

"Kneepads" are as much a part of the political vernacular as "Kool-Aid".

Nice try, though.

My original point stands. 2010 was NOT a throw all the bums from both sides out election.

No, but it *should* have been : and it wasn't.

Explicitly because of the GOP-e, RINO, troll types like you, who insist, and poison the minds of others, to think that

If you throw a Republican out, you're going to get a Democrat who is more liberal. Period.

You sound like you want to spend more quality time with Karl Rove.

Recall, compare, and contrast Rove's record for Congressional Elections up to 2010, with the Tea Party in 2010:

In past elections, (say 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008) we had the following:

2002 -- a year after the 9-11 attacks, and Americans want security, dammit! The GOP gains 8 seats in the House and 2 in the Senate.

2004 -- Presidential Election; the first one after the "Sore Loserman" debacle in Florida in 2000, and the first one after 9-11.

The GOP picks up 3 seats in the House, the Donks lose 2.

The GOP picks up 4 Senate seats, the Donks lose 4.

Bush wins 31 states, but a mere 286 electoral votes, with a bare 50.7% of the popular vote.

2006 -- the Midterm elections for Bush's second term.

The Dems pick up the House, gaining 31 seats, while the GOP loses 30.

The Dems get the Senate, too, winning 6 seats.

This despite the presence of "The Architect" Karl Rove who brags about his detailed knowledge of the ground game.

But (as we will see) he learned his lesson, after a fashion.

2008 -- the annointing of Teh One.

Obama wins 365 electoral votes in 28 states + a single Congressional district in Nebraska. (Nebraska??!!)

The Donks extend their lead in the House, gaining 21 seats.

And in the Senate, they run the table, gaining 8 seats.

The election is marked by numerous unchallenged shenanigans, including voter fraud (voting by felons, votes found in car trunks) in Minnesota, and infamous re-counts in Washington State.

The only thing preventing a total rout is Sarah Palin, who is roundly condemned by the establishment, but targeted by the Dems, after being trashed by advisors lent by the Rockefeller wing of the GOP (as detailed later in Going Rogue).

So, let's look at the record of the Establishment GOP since the first election of George W. Bush (where the victory was so narrow that the Dems complained he was "selected, not elected." (And that, over Clinton's hand-picked successor.)

House: +8 +3 -30 -21 net --> -40
Senate: +2 +4 -6 -8 net --> -8
Heckuva job, Karl.

Compare that to the Tea Parties:

House: +65
Senate: +6

Cheers!
