I'm just happy that when I gloated about Obama winning in November 2008, I quietly gloated about it. I find public gloating repulsive.
Not if all those seats had to run today.
This is sending a clear message. Why do you deny it?
Are they running today?
A clear message is when the power shifts; not until then.
that's despicable. but expected.HURRAY FOR AMERICA!
TED IS DEAD, LONG LIVE BROWN

41 out of 100 is still a minority.
The clear message has been sent - the question now: Are the Democrats listening? Because if they do not listen, you will be right; it's "WHEN" power shifts and not "IF" power shifts.
The message sent is not the message that most Republicans think.
The Republicans lost big in 2008 because they were acting like Republicans.
The Democrats are losing the support of America today because THEY are acting like Republicans. Not doing what they were elected to do.
The message sent: The Democrats need to stop acting like Republicans and start doing what they were elected to do. If you are going to act like Republicans, then we might as well elect a Republican.

The Republicans lost in '08, because they were trying to hard to act like Liberals.
The real message here is: Americans have rejected the Liberal agenda.
Like Rush, I hoped that the Liberal agenda would be a massive failure and our prayers have been answered. It's time to take our country back.

The real message is democracy and that the US likes a pendulum.

Not without a serious shake up of the Republican party. Until they can put forth a more responsible policy for America, simply changing Democrats for Republicans will do nothing. Republicans have to consciously assert a more conservative method: smaller government, reduce the nanny state, cut expenditures and lower taxes. Include Democrats in the process and do what Obama has not - make it transparent. Lastly - be honest with the American people and stop some of the typical Washington porkfest of the taxpayers dollars. It's not the Government's money, it's the people's money. Treat it that way and not like a personal bank account where everyone gets a piece of the pie to spend on bull****. THAT would be the start of REAL change but Republicans or possibly (dare I say) a third party has to have the conviction and intestinal fortitude to actually do it. Until then... it's all a waste of time.
I really don't care if they're listening or not. I prefer a very divisive government where little gets done due to petty partisan bickering.
..and I love filibusters. Nothing like watching minority obstructionists halting legislation dead in its tracks. The beauty of it is that both sides are fated to forever engage in this hypocritical behavior.
:mrgreen:
I think that as much as the Liberals have overreached, that my dog could run against them and win.
I mean, it's incredible how the Liberals saw a mandate from the people to destroy this country.

Are you trying to compete with the ride at Disney, cause you've got some great :spin: going on as well.
You realize that Brown ran as a relatively moderate social conservative comparitive to the type of conservative you are, and what was in office for the past few years. He wasn't running on over turning Roe v. Wade, he wasn't running on a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.
The only part of the liberal platform this really points to is the Health Care platform, and even then to say that it shows "Americans" have rejected it when only a single state has, even if that state is definitely a blue one, is questionable.
The republicans also didn't lose in 08 because they were trying to "act like liberals". McCain was actually trying to act more like the archtype conservative during the campaign than he had anytime in the 8 years prior. Palin was far from attmepting to act like a liberal.
People throwing out this ignorant hyper partisan hack spin on both sides about why Republicans lost are at best delusional and at worst purposefully decieving and manipulating information because they don't give a damn about this country but simply scoring their own political points.
Republicans lost because.......
They had an extremely unpopular president from their party leaving the White House.
The economy was doing poorly under the Republican President just prior to it.
A segment of the republican base had became disengaged and disinterested in the party starting in 2006.
A large segment of the base was unenthusiastic and unhappy about a John McCain candidacy.
A extremely botched campaign by McCain that couldn't grab independents, and horrible political strategy after bringing Palin on making it even harder to get independents.
The pop icon status of Obama, becoming not just a political pick but a "trendy" pick for people. It was suddenly "fashionable" to vote and be political interested for the first time in years upon years.
The historical significance of an Obama election.
The striking charismatic difference between Obama and McCain
Etc
People stupidly saying it was done largely because people "rejected the republican agenda" or because "Republicans acted like liberals" are just being intellectually dishonest or lazy in their examining of that situation.
It is a good day for insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies, congrats and may they bleed the working class dry!
He was after votes.....Lets see what he says now that he has won.........
