Even if the midterms end the Democrats' one-party rule, the President may well believe that his accomplishments during his first two years in office were worth it. But it's a sure bet that the vanquished House Democrats who lose their jobs and their gavels won't share that assessment.

Their impending loss is all due to “Obama’s alienation of independents and white voters, along with the enthusiasm gap.”

Time can’t bring itself to blame the communism and the planned and overt destruction of America.

What took so long idiots to figure it out?

I saw “Idiot Joe” Biden on TV this morning saying that the dims would surprise everyone at the mid-terms. Our job is to not be over-confident and follow through and make him look like the moron he is.

It’s their own damned fault. The freshman RATS sealed their own fate with their vote on Obamacare, effectively giving their constituents the finger. Hope they and their staffs enjoy joining the unemployment lines.

"But it's a sure bet that the vanquished House Democrats who lose their jobs and their gavels won't share that assessment."

That needs to be just the start of the punishment, not the end of it. The democrats need to be punished as severely as is possible, and as long as is possible. Were this a truly civilized country, public floggings for all of them would not be out of the question.

Not to worry - Uncle Joe sez the dims will shock, that’s SHOCK, everyone in this year’s election.

Shocking, isn’t it?

Just keep working like we're 5 points down with 2 minutes left in the game. The rats are going to do everything they can to win - their dead voter list is usually good for 3-4 points.

Don't let up.

Be wary of articles like this. Republicans can’t get complacent and think it’s a done deal.

But if you want reasoning behind the charges of racism, this is it. The strategy is to distract from the issues, marginalize and alienate the Tea Party crowd and gin up the black vote.

[Republic of Texas]

That was always his plan. Ruin the country so much in the first two years that it didn’t matter who was elected in the mid-terms.

Obama's alienation of independents and white voters

Nice attempt by the Time author to blame racism for Obama's failure. What would he blame for O's failure, if O had identical policies but was as pasty white as Clinton?

It's not like they weren't told...

The Democrat Crime Syndicate is anathema to free individuals. It and the collectives that feed it should be discredited/defunded/dismantled.

Is it your belief then that Dead Rats don’t believe their political death for the cause was not equal to giving one’s life for the cause in battle?

Was the sacrifice not worth the result?

“...what its pollsters have been saying in private: that Obama’s alienation of independents and white voters, along with the enthusiasm gap between the right and the left, means that Republicans are on a trajectory to pick up massive numbers of House and Senate seats, perhaps even to regain control of Congress.”

Winning over a clear majority of Independents and independent minded Dems (Reagan Dems) is always the key to either party’s chances. The Dems and Obama proved this true in 2006 and 2008, but unfortunately for them the pendulum has swung the opposite way this cycle, they are in for a very bad night on 11/2/10.

I'm sure that some of them will be given cushy jobs in the executive branch.
