When Louisiana Democrat Sen. Mary Landrieu lost her re-election runoff on Saturday it put Barack Obama in the record books as the two-term president with the most midterm losses for his party.
The record previously was held by Harry Truman.
Truman’s Democratic Party lost 74 seats in 1946 and 1950, while under Obama the Democrats have lost a total of 75 seats in 2010 and 2014. He could lose one more if Republican Martha McSally beats Democratic Rep. Ron Barber in Arizona in an election recount, Breitbart News reports. McSally is currently ahead by only 200 votes. …

Seems like there are still plenty of Democrat white voters: women, urban men, teachers, college professors, jews, LGBTs
So the Republicans win in a rout yet they’re afraid to stand up to Obama.

Kind of like winning the World Series or Super Bowl and have the loser being thrown parades and accolades while the winners pay their own way home.
Some species just don’t know how to win....think we used to say the only thing worse than a ‘Poor Loser’ is a ‘Poor Winner’, just don’t know how to act
How about "Most Missed Days Of Work" due to golf and vacations?
More “history” being made by the Obama regime. The history books of the future are going to read like dime gangster novels.
Ted Cruz showed that you can buck the old media, use the new media and win.
I think the Republican leadership are “slow progressives” at heart (like McCain) and do not want to go to smaller government. But with enough pressure, they can be forced.
The more the old media goes away, the more we can win. If we get our views out, we win. The left only wins through lies and deception.
I was stunned by the losses in ‘06. There were no reasons for the turn around from taking the Senate. 43 was not that bad, to justify the Obummer we got. We are just getting back to where we should be.
Those of you who think W. stunk, explain how he was worse than ObOzO.
Another historic first for Obama.
“Tell me more about my eyes......”
The creepiest Bugs Bunny cartoon ever.
Democrats are now the Party Of Non-Whites (this includes a large number of Hispanics, that Dems are trying so hard to make into a “race”.
It will be interesting to see how they get the blacks to show up to vote for Hillary, or Elizabeth Warren, in 2016.
So Mr present was present when the democratic party lost the largest number of seats, especially when he said it would be a referendum on his policies. I think I’m starting to like this thing called KARMA.
Didn’t know “stunk” and “worse” were synonyms.
More legacy building for Barry.
Sore throat from acid reflux? Since when did Reggie Love get the code name “acide reflux”?
I wish it was just fear. There is a lot of money kicked back to Congressmen . They leave Congress much richer than when they came in. They only pretend to fight the problem because the problem is what is making them rich. Levin is right. Only the states under Article V can bust up their looter monopoly.
If they dug up Truman and stuck his Embalmed Remains behind the Oval Office Desk, he would be a better President than Obama.
Congress was smaller in Truman’s day. AK/HI weren’t yet states.
The scam is to paint minorities as perpetual victims of the majority. Those that do not promote the scam are accused of promoting bigotry.
Liberal Jews, which outnumber any that would be described as conservative by FR standards (take note that “Conservative Judaism” is a liberal branch that is less liberal than “Reform”).
Obama—the Karma of the Liberal Left. They will destroy the Democrat Party—and turn it into a Black-gay-Union-Commie Party. They will represent only a few actors and Liberal newspapermen. Ever wonder why Newspapers are folding up? Look at the editorial page.
The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles. Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guildmaster and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes. …The liberals have been brainwashed to not see the history of mankind any other way, and to think of the way the radical Democrats are taking them as the solution.
