    Biggest Mid-term Gains since 1948

    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.

    Biggest Mid-term Gains since 1948

    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.

    Yes, they voted for the right head of the Duo-opoly two-headed monster.

    Re: Rand Paul...his father, Ron Paulā?? whose advocacy for freedom, peace and prosperit - limited government and limited spending is legendary ā?? 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. imp:

    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.
