Republicans ride voter unrest to control of House - Yahoo! News
That means 18 states are up for reapportionment, the opposition will control a majority of those.
North Carolina legislature is Republican for first time since 1870...yes.....1870.
Alabama Legislature is Republican for first time since 1876
Wisconsin state legislature flipped Republican
New Hampshire state legislature flipped republican
State Houses in Indiana, Pennsylvania,Michigan,Ohio,Iowa,Montana, and colorado flipped GOP.
Maine and Minnesota flipped GOP
Im not even gonna go to the municiple level all across the country which was dominated by the GOP in a redistricting year. The Obama agenda is effectively dead.....
Congrats to EastBay and holding Reids seat.......that was a fun race to watch. I'll settle with Kirk taking Obama's old Senate Seat in Illinois I suppose.
Now im taking an internet and political vacation for a week.....my brain is tired.

So 3 days back I missed my bus. I get off the subway and sprint through the mall area at the bus station, up a huge flight of stairs and two escalators only to watch my bus drive off as I reach the top of the second escalator, heart about to explode. Would have felt worse if three people hadn't done the same thing.
So I catch the next bus which turns out to stop early so I have to get out and wait for the next bus, so I take a walk along the river and smoke a spliff. Was some pretty dank skunk, so the roach stank, decided to wrap it in a cigarette box cellophane and stick it in my sock.
So 3 days later, today to be exact, I find myself sitting on the toilet trying to figure out if I have to take a crap or not. It was then when I realized, I haven't changed my socks for three days!

Buyers remorse will soon set in, and people will be asking themselves what the fuck did they do. Already, those newly elected republicans are withdrawing, breaking from their scampaign promises. especially Tea Party darling Rand Paul who now supports earmarks when he claimed he was for removing them during his scampaign. :D

Yes, they voted for the right head of the Duo-opoly two-headed monster.
Re: Rand Paul...his father, Ron Paulâ?? whose advocacy for freedom, peace and prosperit - limited government and limited spending is legendary â?? has tagged earmarks for his district onto legislation throughout his career, justifying them by saying that while he is against the spending, earmarks are a way for him to get his constituents their money back. I have to agree...it's kind of like fighting the system within the system. Like, accepting tax cuts until we can eliminate the IRS and the Federal Income Tax! Auditing the Federal Reserve until we can END THE FED! :)

Well the only problem with that is the prosperous states donate to the less prosperous states who pay the lowest wages. And they want more then they pay in. And its mostly GOP states that pay the least in and get the most out. :pimp:

Obama's biggest problem was that he wasn't left-wing enough...he was too concerned with compromise and bringing all the Republicans together with him in one big Elmo circle jerk instead of saying "Fuck you, I won, now I'm running the country." The Democrats were basically screwed out of his lack of balls.
Having said that, I'm just very glad to be Canadian at this moment where Tea Bagger America has come out on top. They'll have it their way now...a sick man's last nickel being shaken from him before anything could ever even begin to smack of socialism, abstinence-only sex ed, evolution will be officially science fiction, etc. Well done, America: you've elected the worst, most violently extremist right-wing pigs to come along since Reagan's days. This is seriously frightening and depressing.

Actually Rand Paul was misquoted and does NOT support earmarks:
YouTube - Rand Paul "Your Personal Agenda Is Getting In The Way Of You Being A Good Broadcaster"
And to cannabis=freedom...do you seriously believe that Obama is anything more than a puppet? This left-right paradigm is a scam! Break free of the conditioning...or .... OBEY

This has to be the stupidest thing said yet......Obama's not liberal enough......Obama is a JACKASS. A fluke who got elected because he wasn't George Bush or old ass John McCain.....its pretty apparent to the enitire nation that this president hadn't the slightest clue what to expect once he took office. Then the left tried to RAM through all their dream bills with outright bribery of THEIR OWN FREAKIN party to get it to pass. Thats why Obama is a lame duck in TWO QUICK YEARS. Not to mention his obsession with silencing dissenting opinions and opposition and arrogant view of the world. The man loves HIMSELF. Its funny to watch.
Now.....Obama has NO CHOICE but to come to the middle or get voted out office in 2012 and start his speaking tours in California and SOHO in NYC......the only places left with people so open minded their brains fell out.

I have no choice to quote you from a different thread. See if you can apply to yourself what you expect from others. The Glenn Beck of Cann.com.

It's kinda funny the way the nutjob teabaggers gave the senate back to the Dems. If they would have run normal people in Nevada, Connecticut, and Deleware, instead of psychos, the Reps would be in control of the Senate too. Instead, all they took was the House. Thanks to the teabaggers, they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
Also Alaska, where a write in canadate beat crazy Joe Miller. No loss there.
Some of the Lunatic Fringe made it in, but the real nutjobs just couldn't get the job done. Thank God the American Electorate is not that stupid.
Now comes the funny part. The nutjobs need to govern. They can't just scream NOOO anymore. Now we get to see their Ideas...I see some comic relief comming up.

I thought Islandboy wanted to change the tone of discourse in these forums. He called me out for my "ugly" tone. I guess that was just expediency on his part - arguing for something when it's in his favor but otherwise practicing the same old same old. You are on my ignore list but I still see you quoted in other peoples comments. Plus I occasionally like to review the bile and hypocrisy you spew, just for laughs. You, the mama grizzly half term governor, the witch, and glenn beck all pretty much sound the same.

The idea of Obama being a socialist is so ridiculous mostly because he's really not even a liberal...no major U.S. politician is. Their political system is structured so that real left-wing politics never have a chance--the voters have a choice between Mr. Right Wing and Mr. Right-of-Centre, and somehow still feel free--a truly impressive duping. I was merely voicing my own disappointments, while not being ignorant of the impossibility of such a thing happening. On "change" he did protest too much, and only the notes of hollowness ever escaped his lips. The president is indeed lousy, but not because he likes health care: because he won't consider things like cutting defence spending, or legalizing weed, or getting rid of private prisons.

LOL, if Obama was any more left in his weak,weak,weak, agenda, domestic and foreign, he would prolly be impeached. Whats his approval at now (chuckle) 39%?????????? Approaching Bush League after 8 YEARS OF WAR. Funny stuff.
Sooooooooooooo, hows that N. Korean thing going for ya'll? Good huh? How about Iran? Good huh? Obamacare is a complete stocking of pig shit.....his SIGNATURE legislation that will FOREVER be named Obamacare.
Obama is gonna get challenged by HIS OWN party in 2012....and lose.
