Sometimes the messenger is the message.
Good news for a change.
The Democrats have a bad hangover this morning.
Everything that went south went south and nothing helped.
And its tough to win with a President whose approval ratings are in the high 30s/low 40s.
Just ask former President Bush.
Dems imagined in 2008-10 that the country was ready for a collectivist blitzkrieg. The country almost is, but not quite yet.
is scott brown a conservative republican?
if he was, would he have won last night?
probably.
Sometimes the messenger is the message.
At least they kept Caliphornia. The center of the universe of stupid.
If they're looking for their souls, Satan has them.
If they're trying to ponder, they'll first have to find their brains. I can't help them with that.
The House That Obama Built
Good. Those dirtbags had every last thing coming to them.
And Obama is furious and ready to punish America for its insolence.
In the military, all advances eventually reach a “culminating point”. The advance runs out of energy. The secret is to plan and prepare so that the culminating point of the advance happens after the enemy is defeated.
It’s also easier to continue to defeat an enemy after you push him out of his fighting position and he’s backing up.
I don’t see the Democrat Party as being a worthy opponent that we meet in the ring under the Marquis of Queensbury Rules. I see them as desperate people who use politics to enrich themselves and those close to them. They are street fighters and they will pull a knife on you in a heartbeat. They were just pushed out of their fighting positions. They will desperately try to attack back. Now is the time for the Republican Party to put out the message of conservatism, and put it out loudly and often.
A political party roundly devoted to death and taxes is bound to encounter some resistance once in a while. They really don’t belong in the voting both, much as they are wont to undermine the fundamental rights inscribed and to be enforced according to our Constitution.
This was clearly a victory for hate.
Hail Koch!
Hail Hydra!
Muahahahaha!
the strategy for 2016 will be employed by March.. They now realize they need shinny objects to get the black and unmarried, single mother vote.
Yesterday was not so much a wholesale embrace of the GOP as it was a complete and total repudiation of Barack Obama and the gang of criminals he brought to Washington in 2008.
In the last 2 decades, it became clear to me that we were losing that struggle as those major institutions gained ground among the growing class of those either employed by or dependent upon the expanding welfare state. My way of emotionally coping with that was to tell myself that if the majority did, indeed, lust after a socialist welfare state, well then, let’s bring it on and let them have it good and hard. Rub their noses in it. Shove it down their throats!!
At the same time, I continued to tell myself that there were still enough honest-to-God adults out there who, once they had a taste of a totalitarian command state regime, they would reject it. I refused to consider that so many citizens (and I use the term loosely) would come to love and embrace the thing enough to sustain it and prolong the economic and personal agony history teaches always attends such despotic systems.
Yesterday, I THINK we began to come to our senses!
I’d analogize what happened yesterday to what an otherwise healthy human body does when faced with an existential threat. Just as our bodies are complex organisms, nations are complex organisms. Faced with ISIS, ebola, the invasion across the southern border and Obama’s criminal neglect of those threats, and on and on and on we STILL have the resolve and character to rally and turn back the threats and deal with the SOURCE of the threats.
All that said, we’re not out of the woods yet.
Now it’s up to the Pubbies to set out a serious and freedom oriented AGENDA and be RESOLUTE in repairing the damage this renegade regime has done over the last 6 years!
Obama and Valarie Jarrett are NOT going to go gently into that good night. As an egomaniacal malignant narcissist, this guy will dig in his heels. Just as a wild animal is most dangerous when cornered, Obama is now in a corner from which there is little chance escape. Ted Cruz was asked last night by if the Pubbies would take up the matter of Obama’s “lawlessness” and he stated rather emphatically that they would.
I’ll be watching to make sure that happens! I’m sure Darrel Issa and Trey Gowdy are licking their chops. I’m doubling my popcorn order for THAT show!
The only event that would please me more than what happened yesterday would be the sight of Barack Obama leaving the White House in manacles and leg irons with Eric Holder right behind him. If he and Eric are smart, they’ll spend today booking air travel to some non extradition country. I’m sure Lois Lerner would like to go along!
And speaking of air travel, tell these new Pubbies to take the keys to Air Force One away from Obama. It’s time to halt his endless taxpayer funded world apology tour!
Now comes the hard work of keeping all these new folks honest in the toxic and corrosive atmosphere of Washington, D.C. . it’s up to these same voters to watch all these new folks like the proverbial hawk and keep them within Mr. Jefferson’s “chains of the Constitution.” When you see them beginning what is the inevitable drift into the D.C. Swamp, CALL AND LET THEM KNOW WE’RE NOT GOING BACK TO “BUSINESS AS USUAL”. The Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121! Write it down.
You should call just to hear the world’s worst “Music on Hold”.
The massive wins by in the statehouses MAY mean that at least SOME voters believe the 10th Amendment will be the most important tool to roll back the growth of fedzilla and return the states to the status of “LABORATORIES OF FREEDOM” the Founders intended them to be.
In that vein, the new national Pubbies need to start taking apart the federal bureaucracy, starting with the Department of Education, the EPA, the IRS and on and on.
Not to be the skunk at the picnic, but there IS some not so good news: The good guys won this one but the tight margins in many of these races mean that there are STILL large pockets of diehard Democrats who STILL DON’T GET IT!!
If you know any of those folks, spend some time attempting to acquaint them with our history, the ideas of the Founders, our tradition of freedom, the Constitution and why those things are important! There will be another election in 2 years and – unless we somehow reach them – many of these folks will be cocked and locked for payback!
And while he’s a huge improvement over the clearly deranged Harry Reid, I’m very worried about Mitch McConnell’s comments that he would crush the Tea Party.
Joe, what doesn't make sense is your remaining in the Democrat party whose policies are damaging your state probably more than any other.
Switch to the Republican party. West Virginia has turned red on you and you are more a Republican than a Dim.
This is the money quote for me--CNN is trying to spin this as puzzling, since they are confused as to why it should be that if people believe this they would vote republican. It's simple -- The senate is controlled by democrats, and they are part of Congress! Obviously, if they were mad at the GOP they would have thrown out the House of Reps instead of the senate . . .
On top of that, people are mad at the GOP leadership because they aren't opposing Obama enough, not because they are obstructing Obama, otherwise it would have been the same result as above. . .
The only conclusion you can come to is that media really believe their own spin and are desperate to believe that this GOP wipe out is somehow good for the Dems in the long run.
Look for lots more pouty faced media people when it dawns in them that regardless of what they are saying now, Obama is faced with a clear choice of compromise or obstruction, my bet is he goes full bore obstruction/destruction and that would lead to an even bigger rout in 2016, unless the Dems force him to compromise or resign to save their hides. Alternatively, if he refuses to save them Dems may start publicly pushing for impeachment to stave off losses, and the GOP will just stand there letting them all twist in the wind . . .
It's about US. If either political party actually starts representing people, they'll emerge from this mess, winning elections. Look at the US Senators who won. (ex: Ernst, Cotton, Sasse, even Perdue) They seem to be about making the US a better place, not about enriching their buddies.
Interesting how the Tea Party brand is attacked by Democrats even though the GOP-E has done everything in its power to make sure it controls NOTHING.
Tea Party conservatism has never been truly tried in this country. Of the major political philosophies, it is the one freest from criticism.
