kallend 2,026 #27 November 6, 2014 rushmc ******It will be the same old BS in DC. Except done a little crazier. Check out the thoughts of some of the newly elected "leaders". As I look at the actual winners and read their statements I am optimistic that the GOP has indeed started to shed its loony right wing. Of course, all politicians lie so they may just be saying centrist stuff in order to get elected. Actually, for the most part they are saying the same thing they have been saying for decades So it appears that you haven't read what they've been saying.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anvilbrother 0 #29 November 6, 2014 Quote I'm celebrating !!!! Voted republican!!! Voting a straight party ticket is for the uninformed. Im glad you assume he is uninformed. Guess there is no chance that he did his research and voted for the people he thought would actually do the work he wants so see, and it just happened to be republican.

promise5 17 #31 November 6, 2014 Saying that just because I vote my party that I'm uninformed is actually showing ignorance. But that's fine.No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course, all politicians lie so they may just be saying centrist stuff in order to get elected. Actually, for the most part they are saying the same thing they have been saying for decades Just like the Dems still say the R's want to kick grandma out of her house, take away SS, enslave blacks, take away minority voting rights, starve kids and the poor The electorate is now starting to roll thier eyes when this desperate bs spews forth Just like the spew you just posted How did the minimum wage due on ballots across all those red states on Tuesday? If it wasn't for the irrational fear of getting their guns confiscated and abortion on demand for 12 year olds, most conservatives would have been voting for their own economic interest long ago. But you can't fool people forever, even southerners. It's interesting how all those southern boys despise socialism, yet, they wouldn't know if they saw it.

kelpdiver 2 #36 November 6, 2014 kallend As I look at the actual winners and read their statements I am optimistic that the GOP has indeed started to shed its loony right wing. Of course, all politicians lie so they may just be saying centrist stuff in order to get elected. It's easy for the winners to be magnanimous. The proof will be seen by early February, I suspect. With the party in Iowa about to start up, I can see at least some of them being willing to address a few matters. Though we all remember how both parties punted most of the hard issues in 2012 till just after the election. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkyDekker 1,465 #40 November 6, 2014 QuoteTell me please What is my position There are so many threads in which I ask you to clearly state your position. This again is one of them. Somehow you just never do. Or you make it so vague that a follow up question is warranted (sometimes because your sentences don't always make sense), which you then tend to dance around. So, what is your position? Do politicians lie to get elected or have they been saying the same thing for decades (with the suggestion they could not have been lieing this election)?

champu 1 #45 November 7, 2014 billvon>Celebrate the Republican Senate or cry? Neither. Now, an all-Republican Senate, House and executive would be a cry-worthy event (as would an all-Democratic Senate/House/executive.) California's democratic executive branch and super-majorities in both the assembly and senate was ridiculous. It really ends up concentrating way too much power in the Governor's office because virtually everything his party dreams up ends up on his desk. Thankfully the super-majorities are both gone now.

Bertt 0 #48 November 7, 2014 You weren't already crying?? The fact is, Republicans let a few rich people dictate policy. Think of Enron/Phil Gramm, the Koch brothers, ... . Democrats mean well but they're just incompetent. The Affordable Care Act is a case in point. Or more recently, sending a brigade of air assault infantry to Africa to build hospitals for ebola patients. To illustrate both points, who believes that Lehman Brothers went bankrupt because of too much government regulation, or that Dodd/Frank will really fix the problem? QuoteWhen will a party leadership (either) be wise enough to get us off this track???? My experience is that when management goes bad - be it of a company or a country - things continue downhill until the wheels fall off. Hope your team won. Carry on.You don't have to outrun the bear.

billvon 2,990 #50 November 7, 2014 > Or more recently, sending a brigade of air assault infantry to Africa to build > hospitals for ebola patients. One of the better decisions we've made. Stopping it at the source is a much better idea than travel restrictions, quarantines, and all the other trappings of panic we had here over the past month or so.
