The Republican Resurgence is Here

Does this really need to be posted here? Who gives a shit about your ignore list? I sure as hell don't, in fact, you add literally NOTHING to any of the threads in this forum. Maybe you should stick to "Celebrity Endowments"?

The two of you are a couple of real pieces of work, you'd make a GREAT couple and I hope that y'all can work this out.

Oh boy. Here we go.

No one was talking to you Mary. You can go back to being a bitter old man who lives in his mother's basement...

Virginians elected Republican Robert F. McDonnell the Commonwealth's 71st governor Tuesday, halting a decade of Democratic advances in the critical swing state.

Exit polls in both Virginia and New Jersey clearly cite Obanomics as their reason for the ouster of the Democratic Party

Not only that, even Hollywood has abandoned the lib's darling in a not so subtle reference equating the incumbent to the alien invaders in the new television series "V".

Like the incumbent, the invaders try to validate their presence by offering "hope" and universal health care.

Man, I haven't felt this hopeful for the future of the nation since election night, a year ago ...

So you think the answer to all our problems is to put Republicans back in power? Big mistake! They caused all the problems this country is now facing. The American people deserve just what they get. No brains and a short memory.

short enough to remember what happened during the past two years :biggrin1:

Americans consistently vote for the leaders they deserve, not the ones they need.

^ The problem is I don't deserve it. Has anyone noticed how the Republican powers-that-be shipped Michael Steele off to LaLa Land? The Southern Strategy 2.0 couldn't work too well with him around.

personally -- I think a LOT of average people voted against issues and not FOR the Republicans. When they really find out once again that the Republicans will open their arms to Lobbyists and special interests.........well...........I think there may be a lot of 1 term Republican House members in 2012!

Yet, short enough to forget all the racism, bigotry and hatred that was dredged up during the last 2 years. Where was all that from 2000-2008?

are you suggesting Republicans are at the core racist?

racism is part and parcel of the lib dem party; they strategize in terms of racial categories and other narrowly defined special interests

not surprising, given that they have devolved from the Ku Klux Klan

they hold to the same perceptions, and simply use racially defined special interests to break us up, and play us, one group against another

see: A Short History of Reconstruction, (Harper & Row Publishers, Inc., 1990) by Dr. Eric Foner

The Democrats started the Ku Klux Klan to lynch and terrorize blacks. The Democrats fought to prevent the passage of every civil rights law beginning with the civil rights laws of the 1860s, and continuing with the civil rights laws of the 1950s and 1960s. During the civil rights era of the 1960s, Dr. King was fighting the Democrats who stood in the school house doors, turned skin-burning fire hoses on blacks and let loose vicious dogs. Democrat President John F. Kennedy is lauded as a proponent of civil rights. However, Kennedy voted against the 1957 Civil Rights Act while he was a senator, as did Democrat Sen. Al Gore Sr. And after he became President, Kennedy was opposed to the 1963 March on Washington by Dr. King that was organized by A. Phillip Randolph, who was a black Republican. President Kennedy, through his brother Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy, had Dr. King wiretapped and investigated by the FBI on suspicion of being a Communist in order to undermine Dr. King.

How anyone can be duped by the Republican party is beyond me. They stand for nothing and have a plan for even less. And before anyone accuses me of being a liberal Democrat lets get something straight. I don't give a rat's ass what label someone gives themselves as long as they do something beneficial for the country. Hell, you can revive the fucking Wig party if you want. If you come up with a viable positive plan you've got my vote.

Apparently, it's not too difficult. Millions of seniors voted Republican in the mid-terms believing that Democrats had put their Medicare at risk. So either there is a need to medicate a majority of seniors for dementia or the Republicans did one hell of a sales job. Who in their right mind would believe that Republicans would be better stewarts of Medicare or Social Security than the Democrats who founded both programs?

As for working folk, their votes were driven by the current bleak economic picture (high unemployment and stagnant wages) and the thought that the future for their children and grandchildren may be as dire or worse. Certainly not at all irrational.

Every Democrat who ran in 2008, including the President, knew we were headed into a very deep recession and financial crisis. And while Rome burned, the emperor and his minions "fiddled" with healthcare and little else during this Congressional session--not that Congress or the President can do a whole lot to reverse the trajectory of negative market forces. (Thank God for Benanke and the Fed which really controls monetary policy!) But they should have at least appeared to have "the economy" on the front burner at all times. Yes, healthcare was a major accomplishment, but its real effects won't be fully realized until 2014. And yes the Stimulus Package (as bungled and porked out as it was) and FinReg are also major accomplishments. But they haven't impacted unemployment or wages. The "Bail-outs," as necessary as they were, appeared only to assist business, not working (or non-working) people.

There must be accountability of some sort for where we are and where we're heading. When you have a President, a House and a Senate all in control of Democrats, who should the accountable party be? In this case, it's the Democratic Party--and rightly so. How could we as Democrats forget the famous James Carville mantra of the Clinton era, "It's the economy, stupid!"

I dis-agree about bernanke, and the fed. They have monetized over 1 trillion in debt and are the reason China is no longer buying our t-bills. They fired up the presses and devalued the dollar...George Soros would be proud!

I Don't know what polls you're lookin at:
Exit Polls in Va. and N.J.: The Obama (Non) Factor?


Still, majorities of voters in both states (55 percent in Virginia and 60 percent in New Jersey) said President Obama was not a factor in their vote today.

"The rise of the Tea Party at at time when taxes are literally at their lowest in decades is really hard to understand."

@industrialstrength I'm with you on that one.

I don't know who controls monetary policy in OZ, since I haven't looked behind the curtain (lol), but Bernanke may well be considered the savior of the US economy in a decade or two. The Fed is monetizing far more than a trillion in debt--and rightly so. ''Quantitative easing" is its most potent weapon in fighting disinflation--and no one wants the US to become another Japan which has suffered decades of economic malaise. The Fed's goal is to reinflate all asset classes--primarily equities and real estate. Yes, there is an obvious downside: higher commodity prices for anything traded in US dollars. (Expect petroleum prices to increase rather dramatically.) The alternative, however, is a disinflationary downward death spiral.
