The fat lady has started to sing.
I voted Republican. It's time to get the economy moving, and it's time to change our foreign policy.

Thx
Your librul friend.

People are angry, and I don't blame them. Who here has not lost a co-worker or family member to ebola?

The Rebublicans will get the economy humming by cutting taxes!

Lol I think CIC has a point. Ol SBH seems like he's on the sauce tonight.

Oh and cutting taxes WOULD be a good start to getting the economy going.

Anyway, here's why the Dems might be really screwed..Mexican born naturalized US Citizen co-worker was talking with me and said she was voting down every prop today. I said "wow that's very conservative of you". Now she's been a moderate democrat up until now. She said that votig for a prop would just increase taxes. I was stunned. Finally she said that she couldnt understand why anyone wanted to marginalize property crimes and other felonies and furthermore why the government fully funded able bodied adults.

If middle class Latinos swing right, the Democrat party is done for.

You realize repubs have a strong incentive to keep a slow economy and blame Obama.

Also they are corrupted to the code and will not take any of the fiscal decisions that could boost growth.

If the Repubs don't help the economy in the next 2 years i'll vote for Hillary.
I'm just so disappointed with Obama.

I think the vote has been going to the Ds 2 to 1.

Whatever they do can and will be Vetoed by O

They are talking about dealing with the Fed, but with out a R prez it is unlikely to have any teeth.

BTW what the fuck makes you think Hillbillary would be any better than O?

No doubt. But this is a revelation here. We'll see what the republicans do the next couple years. Clearly the Texan Republicans have figured it out...let's see if the rest of the country does. That new Iowa senator has an annoying fake laugh, but her message of hard work, growing up with loving family, and God seems to be something that would resonate with the kids and grandkids of immigrants from Mexico.

It seems to me that Mexicans really are natural Rs, anyway I hope you are right. But that would be quite a change from the past.

Obama is a very intelligent man, but he really screwed up bad on the economy and foreign policy. All he had to do was...
1. Ensure economic recovery by ensuring the housing recovery.
He failed.
2. Ensure that ISIS did not become the threat it is. Now it's gonna cost us.
He failed.

Quit fixing the economy and stay the fuck out of Iraq and get out of Afghanistan. But he could not resist the fucking with things.

Hillary is a loser, too old, a feminazi, and as corrupt as any republican.
The ultimate insider in the group of people that caused the current situation.

Nancy Pelosi and Goldman Sachs are each more of a threat than ISIS.

ISIS is a gnat on that dog's butthole of a religion called Islam.

Not en masse.

Just pasty old prunes who had lots of abortions and dodged the draft when they were young, and now want to ban abortion for young people and send them off to war.

I agree he failed:

1. Housing was in a bubble and the right thing to do was to ensure it fully deflates.
HE FAILED

2. ISIS is the mirror image of ugly Americans like you and Bush. They didn't exist until Bush went there and created the problem. You create them by your very existence.
Well yes, Obama FAILED too.

All Obama had to do was let housing collapse, let the banks fail, buy them for $1, execute the leaders, recapitalize them and sell them. We wouldn't be stuck trying to pay back what they lost.

That is pretty much what happened.

CNN just said it was unheard of.

You still think what happened with the housing bubble was sustainable, healthy and generally desirable, don't you?

You can't wait to go back to that?

I think a Republican controlled Senate and House is going to have a HARD time improving on what on paper is a pretty good economy…

Not unless they can put the fear of God into the Fed.

We need a prez like Coolidge, or Van Buren maybe a Rand Paul could fill the bill? At any rate it would be nice if they could get rid of O handiwork in the ACA and Frank Dodd

34   Y   2014 Nov 4, 1:58pm  

that is the atomic bomb of the whole exercise.
the repubs will vote on and pass everything now.
lay it at obama's feet.
obama will veto it all
2016 rolls around and obama will be the obstacle to improving everyones lot in life.
Sarah is elected along with the house/senate staying red and we will control the whole shabang, ushering in the Christian State to counter ISIS.

Oh, don't get me wrong… I definitely think the current administration is creating new bubbles and propping up a "house of cards" economy. But, they really didn't have much of a choice… When everything was free-falling in March of 2009… They could have let all the banks fail and we'd have a few weeks maybe years of chaos.

Instead the bail outs just gave us another 10 years of can kicking fun.

It's gonna get ugly… When the next crash happens I wouldn't want to be the party in power.

It looks like the Republicans are going to be biting off way more than they can chew.

38   HEY YOU   2014 Nov 4, 2:37pm  

Great news!
Now they can pay for unfunded wars. Find the WMD. Get all Rep/Con/Tea individuals & businesses off Big Govt. Socialist programs. Eliminate the minimum wage & pay themselves $2.00/hour & no benefits & outsource all American jobs & eliminate Obamacare.

Any R/C/T that can't pay cash for their family's medical care needs, should die. That's what True American Patriots, who believe in "Personal Responsibility", would do.

BTW,where's my Voodoo Economics Trickle Down Check?

I'm still elated over this one. Not only did Hogan win, but by a considerable margin.

It's all Obama's fault!!!
