Its called stepping into other peoples conversations. Congrats on the news.
The problem with Colorado is that there are far too many Californians living there now.
Come drive on LA freeways sometime and then tell us if there aren't enough Californians in California.
and they all drive cars, some not very well, but they all drive cars.
Now if we could only get rid of McConnell as leader (maybe let him clean the bathrooms) and get someone in there like Ted Cruz that will fight for us.

It wasn't all bad for democrats... They did pick up the Governorship of Pennsylvania from Republicans, and they nabbed a Congressional seat in Florida's 2nd district.
Maybe they could build on that in 2016.

Clearly, as a Canadian, I don't have any say in the matter, but personally I think McConnell will be a fine Majority Leader. Unlike Harry Reid, McConnell does actually attempt to get agreement on matters and get things done and he is far more likely to pick off some Democrat support, particularly after what happened yesterday, and he's likely to get some forward movement on policy that the country sorely needs.
Making someone like Cruz Majority Leader would be like winning the Powerball lottery and flushing your ticket down the toilet. Cruz needs to be marginalized and made even more irrelevant than he already is. He's only "known" because the MSM likes to parade Republican imbeciles before the cameras to push their liberal agenda.
This song has been stuck in my head since last night.
It would be similar to electing an untried Barrack Obama to the Presidency. Chaos would quickly follow.Clearly, as a Canadian, I don't have any say in the matter, but personally I think McConnell will be a fine Majority Leader.

I disagree with your McConnell assessment. I can't stand Harry Reid but McConnell is the idiot on the flip side of the same coin. He's just terrible.
This I can agree with. Cruz is inflammatory and the GOP has enough of that in the House. If within their control of the House and the Senate... the Senate starts acting as inflammatory as the House as Cruz is wont to do... I think it'd blow up in the GOP's faces come the general election.
Mornin Grim. :2wave: Well Debbie Wassermann Schultz won her Seat......did anyone run against her? We should have had a woman Repub take her on.
Alan Grayson won his seat again too.

Well, we'll see over the next two years. If McConnell and Boehner sit down and work out an agenda for moving forward that's rational and avoids the social conservative nonsense, I can see them accomplishing a lot. Boehner, with additional members in his caucus will be better able to get a majority even without some of the "inflammatory" members you speak of in the House.
We went with the Red Tsunami and the Historic Sweep.

Geez... Grayson won?
While much of what you're saying has some merit, it's not really on point (at least in response to what I was saying). My point isn't that billionaires are the problem. My point is that our congress has devolved into a group of people who are working for bureaucrats, billionaires, and special interest groups. Not people. While you might not think that funneling millions of dollars into a congressional campaign has much influence in the outcome, the congressmen themselves disagree. That's why they vote the way their donors want them to vote.
That's the problem right there. Term limits would help to some degree, but you'd still have entire parties owned in part by certain unions, or corporations, or members of the executive branch. Campaign finance reform is what fixes some of that. Then there's no reward for voting against a bill that would fine the Koch Brothers for emitting 7 million tonnes of poison directly into the ozone (that's not a real example in case you were preparing to argue that point).
I'm also not saying that the Koch Brothers won the senate for the GOP. While that may be somewhat true, all I'm saying that whoever has control is doomed to be despised because they don't actually try to work for average Americans. The only support they get is from the "lesser of two evils" crowd and the thoroughly brainwashed. It would be nice to see a real effort to break the chains, but nobody wants to spoil a good thing. A good thing for members of congress, that is, and one of the worst things in the history of this country for you and me.
I'm sure it will not surprise you that I am a big fan of Elizabeth Warren and hope that Hillary runs her as VP...
