Comments on: Democrats Expand Congressional Control

However, Party Falls Short Of Filibuster-Proof Senate; Extends House Lead By At Least 17 Seats

[rgp1963-2009]

The Republican party lost because they forgot what they are supposed to be. When the only fiscal difference between the two parties is taxing or borrowing, many of us wonder what''s the point. As much as I hate taxes, debt is far worse. Let''s just hope China doesn''t foreclose. Senator McCain came across as an angry old man, attempting to scare the electorate and point at Senator Obama and say, "he''s to blame." Phil Graham stated that this is a nation of whiners. Today it appears to only be "Red, Red, Whine."

Well, the truth of the matter is that the Repugs screwed up the economy,and nearly bankrupted the treasury.
Republicans stand supreme in one facet of politics-SHIRKING RESPONSIBILITY~!

With a Democratic president, house, senate and court, the libs will still be blaming Republicans four years from now, for the country''''s problems.

Bush has lowered the bar so low for the presidency ------- all Obama has to do is show up and utter one, intelligible sentence to succeed. He%u2019s already done that, so what%u2019s your point?

Seriously, are you AGAINST resolving a $10/billion/month fake war in Iraq ------- a country even Bush admitted had no links to 911?

Are you AGAINST fighting terrorism in Afghanistan ------ the country Bush abandoned in order to pursue the Iraq-for-oil debacle?

Are you AGAINST actually finding Osama bin Laden ------a man Bush stated he no longer cared about?

Finally, are you AGAINST socialism? Because government ownership of the federal banking system (Bush%u2019s little taxpayer rescue program) meets the Marxist definition.

Hope not. Like to think you conservos are smart people.

Did you complain as vehemently when your merry band of corporate fascists stole the last 2 elections? That%u2019s what I thought.

However, I agree that the electoral college system is past obsolescence and now appears to border on lunacy. But, now, we have a president who actually believes in the infrastructural needs of our country (bridges, roads, education) and in extending a bit of tax %u201Crelief%u201D to 95% of us.

Meanwhile, I%u2019d concentrate instead on how republicans allowed the necons and the PNAC to co-opt and mock their very own, core conservative principles: Prudent fiscal policies; smaller, less invasive government and sensible foreign relations.

As I recall, even republican presidents (Regan, Nixon) believed in establishing relationships with other countries ----- instead of bombing them into extinction.

Hey, the other good thing: Although McCain was a good man ------- you and I both now Palin was a category five moron. Be thankful.

Obama will INCREASE the Democratic majority and power for the next 8 years. After Bushoccio and his disaster, Obama will seem like a godsend. Today, Guy Faulkes Day, the start of a 3-month party. Yay!

I was only wondering where all the people of color were in the Republican party, at their convention and rallies. No the Government of Pigs party (GOP) became a white, rich elitist and intolerant excuse for a political party. I hope they are gone for good as far as any real power goes.

Hold on to your pockets we are about to go for the ride of our lifes and Pelosi is at the wheel...scary.

[noloyalisti]

We are further putting the wrong wing extremist rats like Imhoff and the rest of the redneck state wackos into their cage. Obama will continue to marginalize those rabid Bush supporters.

Responding to stlouisman3, who wrote:
"Heaven help us, one party rule is here!"

Here''s my question -- did you happen to pray to God for Heaven''s help with equal fervor at ANY point during the six years that the Repulicans (which I''m guessing from the tone of your post is the party you support) exercised THEIR one-party rule for six long years: 2000-2006?

Amazing how the Right Wing, which now finds itself clipped considerably, has ALL OF A SUDDEN discovered the presumed virtue of divided government -- just in time to be convenient for them! Pretty dang transparent? You betcha!
