Republicans scored a stunning electoral rout in the midterm elections, taking control of the U.S. Senate after a bitter campaign in which anger at Washington gridlock was turned against a president who took office promising to transcend it. Full article here
=====================================================
Tonight we saw nothing short of a historic outbreak of mass sanity across America. Sooooo, to gloat or not to gloat. That's the question tonight. I'm leaning heavily against any gloating.It's not an easy decision because the shellacking the Democrats took across the country tonight -- a magnificent display of Democrats' Electile Dysfunction -- presents such a target-rich environment.
For example, the contest in Arkansas. Here you've had what amounted to a family dynasty. It went down in flames tonight. But to top it all, Mark Pryor was brought down by a chap the media not long ago laughed off as having not a snowball's chance in hell of winning! A 37-year-old Congressional freshman named Tom Cotton beating a Pryor? In Arkansas? Ha, no way. But am I going to gloat over it, or even mention it? Nope.
Speaking of losers running on big family names, Michelle Nunn (Senate candidate) and Jason Carter (Gubernatorial candidate) similarly went down in flames in Georgia tonight. But I'm not gonna gloat about it nor even mention the fact that the experts were confidently predicting the Senate race would definitely head to a run-off. David Perdue winning outright? Against a Nunn? In Georgia? Not gonna happen.
Nor will you hear a peep from non-gloating me about the drubbing Democrats received in Colorado's Senate race tonight. The Democrat incumbent, Sen. Mark Uterus, flogged the "war on women" meme throughout the Campaign. He fancied himself being able to rouse that dead horse to victory. This was, after all, the meme that was supposed to be the Democrats' silver bullet because it worked for Obama, whose reelection was saved at the last minute by a woman named Hurricane Sandy.
Unfortunately for the Democrats in Colorado, there was nothing to save the world-renowned expert on female genitalia from defeat at the hands of Cory Gardner. But! Since I'm not gloating, no mention of any of this from me.
Indeed, if I were gloating, I would definitely mention the GOP upset victory in North Carolina, but I'm not. Here again, experts insisted that Kay Hagan had victory in the bag even though her polls sucked. Democrats bragged that the high turnout of early voters would seal Thom Tillis's fate. "I think we've got the momentum," Hagan proclaimed over the weekend. But, again, you won't hear me gloat nor even mention any of this once.
I suppose I could gloat about Wendy Davis's shellacking in Texas (but I won't). She was supposed to turn Texas purple if not blue on the basis that she held up passage of a measure against late-term abortions. She became an instant heroine to the abortion lobby. Vogue magazine featured her on its cover. The Abortion Barbie raised over a million bucks in mere weeks after her pro-abort filibuster. Liberals were certain that being pro-abortion and making fun of people in wheelchairs were winning formulas in Texas. She lost by 20 points to a guy in a wheelchair. But if you thought I was going to gloat about it or even mention it, you'd be mistaken.
In fact, not gonna mention Gov. Scott Walker winning reelection in Wisconsin nor Joni Ernst becoming Iowa's first female U.S. Senator after trouncing Bruce "Bailey". Since I'm not gloating, my lips are also sealed about Pat Roberts winning reelection in Kansas and Steve Daines winning in Montana and Mike Rounds winning in South Dakota and Shelley Moore Capito winning in West Virginia and Mia Love becoming the first African-American GOP Congresswoman.
Oh, one more thing . . .
Harry Reid -- you're fired! Heh, heh, heh! I'm still not gloating though! Honest!
Anyway, that's ...

I don’t come here as often as in the old days and I have to say seeing your friendly name John brings back good times on FR. Hugs! It is a good day amongst some horrible years. Let us hope in 2016 that we again vote against the democrats no matter what.
Still a RINO. So is Baker.
Liberal peas in a pod. The party label is irrelevant.
Just wondering though, if Reid and Obama had let some of the good legislation pass would have saved some Democrat seats. Perhaps passing Keystone might have helped in the Midwest.
If Bill and Hillary are done, hopefully Chelsea might as well hang up any aspirations she has for office too.
Weird, You'd think blister dick Bill Clinton aka the treasonous, bent-crank, impeached violent rapist and his fat-ankled, marxist, lesbian disaster of a 'wife' would have buoyed the DEMONCRATS. /s
What was their 'success' rate......something like 14 out of 47 contests? BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Enough people figured out who was locking the grid. Harry Reid.
Father God,
Thank You for Your mercy.
Amen
In all truth, I was also thinking along the same lines. The voters view Obama with revulsion now, and want him gone.
Jay Rockefeller (the WV demonicrat that retired) did so because there’s this weirdo in a black robe, with a scythe, following him around ...
Just realizing that the RATS biggest issue this election was the “War on Women”. So they picked a serial violent rapist (Bill Clinton) to represent the Rat party. I guess he passed out ice at the rallies. Staggers the imagination.
Too bad the Repubikans just huddled in fear......they could have had a lot of fun.
No, I see realism in all his comments. There will be continued growth in federal power and spending. America will continue to be destroyed by both parties, one faster, one slower.
What a pleasure it will be to see Ms. Ernst and Ms. Love in the senate.
IMHO
This is a bit like the parents whose kids got hold of the credit card, ran up exorbitant charges, and held a huge party which destroyed and damaged much of the family home.
The parents have now got the credit card back and they are back in charge. Their job is to clean up the huge mess the kids made. This is not a fun job. Not like the fun the kids had charging everything in sight and partying hard.
Will people recognize the tough job the parents have to do? Will they appreciate it? Will they see the parents as party-poopers and killjoys? Or will they realize that adults are needed to clean up the mess they left and to restore accountability and prosperity?
JJJJOOOOOHHHHNNNNNN where the heck you been at??? I’ve been missin’ my vampire friend!!!! :) :) :)
That the GOP won is nice.
But before anybody gloats, lets hear his plan for upsetting the GOPe/Dem (Statists combined against America) steering to come. Hmmm?
Let’s not hear crickets either.
Nice!
Excellent Gloating!
Many of us are doing that right now.
A few depressed ones were still wanting the rats to win to teach us another lesson.
