it is all about them not liking a black as president. And if Hillory wins election, it will be more of the same hatred.
They only want WASPs in office.

Republican that might win the seats. States that voted for Romney. I doubt any blue state are going to vote Republican.

Also, Bill Clinton was extremely white, and in the first mid-term after his election, R's took both the House and the Senate in a landslide.

Bill was pretty WASPy, and he was hated by them. 1994 wasn't about race.

Bill Clinton was the first President who came of age during the counter-culture period of the US and he was part of it. His admission to using drugs, his liberalness on race relations, gender equality, etc. made him a target for much the same reasons Obama is - for what they represent.

How about "seat at the table" (for blacks). The racists didn't like all that inclusiveness.

1994 was also about naive/stupid voters revolting against the Clinton health care plan of 1993. And no doubt low Democratic voter turnout.

this mornings paper has an article about how the hospitals here in ok is losing money and that the administrators see it as a political gaff by our repub governor for refusing extended medicare money but by the time you finish the story you come away believing that the president is responsible, if you're about half ass stupid to begin with anyway, which many pukes are. In other words its Obama's fault for all our ills according to the press.
If we don't get this press thingy right we're doomed.

Corporations should not have been allowed to buy up our press as they've been doing since watergate. Corporations = republiCONs

tired when they come home, flip on the TV and get brainwashed by MSM. It's a tragedy.

The voters in the states where the GOP has a chance of picking up seats might be a majority of teabagging fools.

many seem so proud of their ignorance having minds cast in cement.

You won't change the minds of the teabagging fools, but if you can dilute their votes with more votes of people who would not ordinarily vote in a midterm election, you can turn things around.

Not the things you want done, but if the wealthy want something done, mark it off the list. We'll enjoy great tax reductions (well, not us, but the rich will), they'll overturn RoevWade, they'll impeach Obama (unsuccessfully), and at last we can get our local police departments geared up with military equipment to handle the pesky poor people. Other advantages may be that we can get more redistricting done so the dwindling republican party can create more un-losable districts, and maybe we can finally get rid of that useless minimum wage thingie.

Don't vote! We need change!







/sarcasm

for all the shit they will pass through!

But Obama will actually veto shit.

They had control of the house and senate the first two years of Obama's presidency, but they decided to 'let' the Repuke minority block down legislation due to filibuster rules that were never intended to let a minority control and block the country's progress. Obama got his health legislation, but very little more than that. But they nonetheless decided to "uphold the filibuster tradition", which is not a constitutional demand, even after McConnell and the Republican crooks were telling us their highest priority was to block Obama from getting anything done.

past six years. It could have been far better! Now, we are stuck with this mess. One thing I do respect with republicans is they know how to work together. Far too often, democrats sit and argue rather than being a cohesive force. For example, we saw this all throughout health care.

tolerate the black guy in the WH. I never realized the US still harbored such racism and bigotry 'till Obama's presidency. ... was hidden under the rug all the time, an ugly pile of dirt.

It's all about the tan... um, suit. Yeah, that's the ticket. Tan suit.

Where is this "thinking voter" of whom you speak?

Republicans have absolutely nothing (besides homophobia, racism, and other social diseases) to offer at least 95% of the population. It is an embarrassing absurdity that they stand any chance of winning anything.

All more the reason GOTV is important.

they whine about the consequences. People are so weird.

We don't vote FOR people in America....we vote against people.

Most of the time our votes are based on keeping the other guy out of office or limiting his ability to work.

This is what George Washington was afraid of concerning political parties. He believed parties destroyed individual thinking, creates divide where it doesn't need to be, and leads to political stagnation.

If I had the power, I would abolish all of the above ... and fund all elections with public funds. I've also contemplated stock markets should be ended.

Many people don't believe what any politician says, and who can blame them? They know if they have a job or not. They know how much gasoline costs. If they are not happy with their life situation, they know they want something to change.

The only thing they care about is how much they hate a black man in the White house. They'll vote for a ham sandwich if it's got an R next to it. Monkey see, monkey do, monkey throws poop at the country.
