democrats can ride in the back!
No argument there.
I'm just curious how the GOP is going to play this now. Do they go for some actual legislative wins, which will mean trying to meet Obama halfway, or do they go full-on to try to take him down in '12, so they can get the agenda they want through without watering it down too much?
And what of Obama? I'm not sure if he has a Clinton in him; he might go for sheer defiance.
As a side note, for a political message board, the activity is a bit sad for an election eve...
Thanks for the fix. I figured I was getting the spirit of the thing...
Yes, and the sobbing weeping Boehner will lead you all to victory! He and Glenn Beck will make quite a pair in the next couple of years.
I am going to sit back with my tub of popcorn and watch the Tea Party movement battle with the old school Republicans! It should be interesting.
I just hope it really is in the best interest of the people!

tff how you don't think that is gloating, but you thought my earlier comment was...like i said...you're wacky
if the gop doesn't have a majority in the senate, i don't see how they are going to get any wins...what i would like to see, at a minimum, are attempts at good legislation, if it fails in the senate, then the dems are exactly as they have been accusing the pubs....the party of no...so far, the pubs haven't done much in the way of actual good legislation efforts
as to '12...too early imo to tell how that plays out...and we also need to see how obama will act now....after all....elections have consequences
the board has slowed way down as of late, there was a flurry when darla came back and started shit up, and unfortunately it seems lately that heavy traffic results from flame fests...

Practicing for the run-up to 2012 already, I see! I expect this will become the main battle cry for Democrats across the board. Because things are not about to suddenly get better, in fact, expect things to get much much worse. I saw some dismal projections today regarding the impending inflation we are facing, and with the Federal Reserve warming up the money machine (they plan to print 500bil to 1tril) by this time next year, consumer prices will be about 30-40% higher across the board, and rising. So there's that... But the main thing is, Republicans still don't control the Senate, and can't pass any legislation, and even if they did, Obama would veto it.
What you are likely to see from this Congress, is Republicans stopping the Obama agenda and spending. The first big fight will be over the budget, since the Democrats put that off until after the elections. There might even be a government shutdown, because you won't have "compromising" Republicans who blink this time. Yes, things are going to get a LOT worse, and you pinheads will all be here moaning and writhing about it being the fault of mean old republicans who won the mid-terms, and we'll just have to put up with that until 2012, when we can send another "murder" of Democrats packing for home, including the one in the White House.
LOL
Already making excuses. How pathetic from the poster who called this the "Obama Recession" in Novermber of 2008.
As for spending, show me the 1st meaningful effort by the GOP to cut the military budget, and I'm in.
I love the pre-emptive spin, though. Man, are you in for it over the next 2 years. Welcome back to power...

You gotta spin it faster than that Onzies! It's not working! The illusion you want to create only works if you spin that shit really really fast! C'mon, I know you can do it, I've seen you spin with the best of them!

Might want to read the title of this thread again, bozo! It appears, Republicans aren't actually in power, they control the House. Now, that's a useful tool, it will keep a lot of this Obama agenda shelved for the next two years, but to effectively govern, to pass legislation, we will need control of the Senate and the White House as well... and we'll have that in January of 2013... you can start blaming Republicans for things then, until that time, we'll keep hanging it all around the neck of Democrats, and Barack Obama. Thanks!
It's so cool how defensive you are already.
Your own standards (the House holds the purse strings!) getting turned on you.
I don't know why you'd want the GOP to control so many things, Dix - ya know, since you think Republicans "work better in the minority, anyway!"

Especially when they only control the House!!

The inflation you guys have been screaming about since 2008 is not and will not happen. Prices have gone in the opposite direction of what you guys are claiming. Your monetary theories are infantile and incorrect.
whoever is in office will be blamed if the economy does not improve
after, all the pledges that the rat pack (reps) made, if they do not deliver there will be another political revolution...against them

Hate to bring this up Don, but the office of the President is held by a Democrat.

It's really funny that you believe we're supposed to just close our eyes and pretend Obama isn't president, and we don't have a majority-Democrat Senate, and Republicans completely run things in Washington now, and if everything doesn't turn around in the next two years, we're going to revolt against Republicans.
In 2012, when the Tea Party finishes what they started tonight, and replaces Obama with a true Conservative, and we elect a Conservative Senate to go along with our Conservative House, and those people have an opportunity to advance and implement some Conservative ideas.... THEN we can judge them, THEN we can revolt against them, if they fail to get the job done. You're rushing things a little. I think most people are smarter than you... no, let me re-state that... I KNOW most people are smarter than you, Don. I don't believe this "Blame Republicans" thing is going to work just yet. But, if you want to waste another two years on that strategy, you go for it old boy!
Beefy
Worst gambler ever
Good God Jarod is an idiot. You have to be a retard to even TRY to spin this into some sort of victory for the Retardomocrats.
They lose seats but manage to retain a slim, slim lead in the senate, and lose the house badly. Badly. Worst in most of our lifetimes.
The Democrats just roundly got their asses handed to them and someone told Jarod, ever the fringe idiot, that it was somehow a victory. Lo and behold, he regurgitates it here.
Congratulations Jarod, on being the most transparent hack on the board, outwitting the hackery of Desh. Didn't think it could be done, but never underestimate a simpleton.

The Republicans only won such an exaggerated victory because of gerrymandering. The Democrats have lost elections in terms of seats in which they gained as many votes as the Republicans had during complete and total "landslides" like 1994. The system is horribly biased to favor the bad guys. The 2006 and 2008 cycles were greater victories in terms of votes, and combined the seat gain was greater. And the Republicans are going to lose it all in 2012 anyway.
