"In a generic way, he tied the “political millstone” to Democrats across the country a month ago when he said, “I am not on the ballot this fall.… But make no mistake: These policies are on the ballot. Every single one of them.”

Democrats realize it now — that, as with another former community organizer named Jim Jones, followers are expendable — but it’s too late for them despite Harry Reid’s best efforts to shield them from tough votes and cast Republicans as obstructionists when Reid himself is the source of American electoral constipation.
Poor Barack. He was kept away from every important race and most unimportant ones. How hard that must be for a man with an ego so large that it makes most Hollywood movie stars look modest.
How frustrating for someone who embodies the clinical definition of narcissism, including “Those with narcissistic personality disorder believe that they’re superior to others and have little regard for other people’s feelings. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism.”
How difficult for a man whose every speech is replete with first person pronouns.
How unacceptable for the candidate whose nomination was to presage the end of every ill from poverty to rising seas. (Seriously, was that not the most politically narcissistic comment since “L’État, c’est moi”?)
How humiliating for the Democrats’ hopey-changey rock star, now not even fit to be a roadie for the warm-up band.

Because, didn’t you know, Barack is all about Barack. The rest of you Democrats are bit players, extras, add-ons, in the feature presentation that is The One. And he demands not only the Oscar for Best Actor — to go along with his undeserved Nobel Peace Prize — but also for Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Stupid Golf Leg Move. You, his supporter at the ballot box or in Congress or the fawning media, are lucky just to be able to say His name.
Give it a rest. Your hatred for Romney gave us 4 more of BO.
It gave us a Republican Senate.
Mittens would have been a complete disaster. I’m glad he lost.
ANOTHER OBAMA FIRST !!!
Two, within a month of taking office, he got the Stimulus Bill passed, which added a trillion dollars to the baseline of the Federal Budget.
Three, for his now traitorous Democrat pals (the Mafia, not Party of Government) he spent an additional $17 trillion to skim, scam and fill their pockets with.
Four, he got ObamaCare passed, the basis for national healthcare, which has been the dream of the Democrat Party for 100 years.
Five, he's flooded the Federal Government bureaucracy with Democrat Party activists, which will be controlling government for decades. And he's successfully weaponized every Federal Agency that he's wanted to politicize. Just try to fight that.
Six, he's gotten 2 leftwing Supremes on the Court and hundreds ( or thousand's) of leftwing judges onto the Federal Courts, who will be overturning GOP policies for decades. Six, Obama's brought in millions of future Democrat voters making it harder to reverse the vast increases in the already huge government that he took over. We'll be paying higher taxes for decades in the attempt to pay for this.
No wonder Obama's pissed, he's set up the Democrats for decades and they show no gratitude.
Will the GOP remove the activists from the civil service? Will they impeach activist Federal Judges? Or will they use this situation as an excuse for why they can't reduce the size of the Federal Government. They'll complain just like Brer' Rabbit "complained" about being thrown into the briar patch. This is the dirty secret about the GOP-e, they like big government, because it gives them more power and opportunities galore for boodle and kanoodle.
Obama has been a huge success. What will the GOP-e do, now that they think (wrongly) that they've defeated the Tea Party (their real enemy) and for now the Democrats.
Because DC corrupts....
--------------------------------->
The Republicans can snatch defeat from their own victories.
Trying to enjoy the wins, and I do, but "Washington corrupts" - I hope our victors do realize it is time to get to work.
And, time for us to get to work, too! Start local but don't forget state and national!
For ZERO?
Not this ole country boy.
He deserves prison stripes nothing less.

This hummingbird has a country heart and agrees with you 100%!
Hey Obama,If you like your democrat majority,you can keep your democrat majority,Period.
“I am not on the ballot this fall.… But make no mistake: These policies are on the ballot. Every... single... one... of them.” Barry Obamagube
Now put that voice clip over the video of Johnny Depp as Captain Jack when he flips the gold coins into the chest and hides one of them in his sleeve. Here’s the 2016 clip against Hillary! USE IT GOP! (a follow up would go something like “Hillary is a lifelong Democrat Politician - she is in it for her own good” aren’t we tired of politicians who DON’T see office as a public servant working for you and I US CITIZEN and taxpayer! VOTE for the REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE and help change AMERICA!....)
My withholding of a vote for Romney in 2012 had no cost and was made quickly and easily. I live in Kansas which was going to Romney regardless. Had I been in Florida, it would have been more of a dilemma. I'm guessing that I would have still not voted for him. It's hard to forget that not only was Romney not one of us conservatives but he and his family had spent their political careers actively fighting everything conservative.
I will actively oppose Romney (and his ilk) in the primaries in 2016 and withhold my vote from him in the 2016 general election if he gets the nomination.
CLEARLY, CommerceComet, A WHOLE LOTTA AMERICANS were on the same page as you and me. It is why Romney lost, and why he or someone like him would lose again in 2016.
I should amend the above line: A strong conservative movement is our nation's best POLITICAL hope for the future. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is every nation's best hope for the future.
Amen. Lost in the shuffle of the Republican landslide is perhaps the biggest event of the night, at least as to how it affects the future. The re-election of Scott Walker as Wisconsin governor was last night's big event. I'm guessing he'll be a serious player in 2016. I don't know that much about him and need to do my homework but I like what I have heard so far.
He should be on “Dancing With The Stars”.
Dancing the Tyburn Jig.
a) Obama would inevitably become loathed and a pariah,
b) Republicans would gain huge in the midterms, and
c) conservatism would ultimately become stronger.
I remember it well, Finny. I myself, was one of those predicting those very things. It's taken us six bitterly long years, but we've finally arrived at the point that all logic dictated would arrive.
That is, the American people have risen up in resolute, full-throated OPPOSITION, to the leftist depredations against our way of life, our culture, our history, our Constitution, and everything else that is holy and good about this nation.
In 2012, I said that electing Mitt Romney would actually take the wind out of the conservative/Tea Party fight to return America to some semblance of its traditional moorings. With a nominally 'Republican' President in office, the GOP would rubber stamp his entire liberal agenda without blinking, whereas, they'd put up a fight against a radical leftist Dem. Such an arrangement would also keep the base energized to oust and overthrow the wholesale destruction of America.
Those are precisely the dynamics that have played out since then, and we witnessed the effects of that OPPOSITION last night.
Rush said on his show today, that the politicos had better read the mandate in this tsunami correctly. The mandate couldn't be clearer: it's a mandate to STOP Obama, and to roll back all of the destructive things he's done to us. Republicans had better get the word 'compromise' out of their vocabulary, and right quick. They've been empowered by The People to save the nation.
Obama never was what the left made him out to be. We on the right saw straight through the empty headed poser from day one.
Obama's like a 'one hit wonder' out of Hollywood. All packaged with glitz and glam, but devoid of actual talent, skill, or accomplishment. The left-wing moguls made him, just like they've made countless other worthless bobble-head dolls, who are thrown on the trash heap of history, just as soon as their novelty and selling power wears off.
In this case, though, it was a catastrophe of historic proportions, because they didn't just make a pop star, they turned a bubble gum, narcissistic egomaniac into a President.
Exert a bit of logic here.
If milquetoast Romney had become President, the American people and the congressional Republicans would be blithely accepting his version of Obama's liberal agenda. There would be no historic push back against the left, like what we saw last night.
Surely you don't believe that Romney would have pushed a conservative agenda as President, do you? I don't think you do. Ask yourself what agenda he would have pursued. When it became clear that the Republicans were going to trounce the Democrats yesterday, the first thing out of his mouth, was that Congress can now pass an amnesty bill!
I'm not saying that I ever wanted to see Barack Obama win another term in office, but there is no denying that his presence in the White House for another four years has created an exponential rise in OPPOSITION to the liberal agenda.
That dynamic would have been absent, had Romney won in 2012.
In the final analysis, it could be rightfully concluded that Obama was one of the best things that ever happened to America's politics, because he finally ripped the covers off the left's true aims for our country.
Yep, yep, and yep!!
EGGzactly!!!!!!
Amen, amen, AMEN!!!!!!!!!!
