The Mid-Term Election thread

[RickN]

Someone Please send this crybaby a pacifier... Grown ass man throwing a hissy fit like a 2 year old because he didn't get his way. A little advice, put on your big boy panties because NO ONE like your Democratic policies that have been Shoved down the throats of the American people for the last 6 years. It was one LIE AFTER ANOTHER!

You think he is bad, you should see some of the crap coming from the liberals campaign workers. This really fits.



But to quote someone famous for something or other, "Elections have consequences"

Your such a amateur troll. Did you even vote?

Haaa!!!

Pot, meet kettle.

Any apologies yet?

Since Mr. Obama seems to be ignoring Congress' role/constraints and is focusing his efforts outside of his Constitutional boundaries, I'm not sure how much this election really impacts his plans for the next two years.

It won't change a thing except now Congress will negotiate. Newt n company did same thing during Clinton years. Economy really boomed....then lil George happened.

I'm certain the GOP will still do nothing about immigration, wages, budgets, infrastructure. They'll focus on govt shutdowns, pissing women and minorities off and alienating workers, protecting big business and Wallstreet ect.

They have a chance to govern but I doubt they right the ship.

I guarantee they can't do any worse than the way things are being done now. Who cares about pissing monorities off. The majority of the Mexicans are here illegally. And if the legal ones support that then F em. I am not aware that I am being alienated. Must have gotten lucky. Would you prefer the democrats took over the house and senate? I sure wouldn't. And if you think that the democrats actually aren't for big business and wall street then you are fooling yourself. Both parties are crooked. But the dems are worse. I know this, Obamacare is causing my wife and I to have to pay higher costs for our insurances. It's rediculous. That is something I hope the republicans can do is to get rid of that nightmare. It is ruining people's lives.

Clinton's "boom" only happened after he realized he jacked up taxes way too much after his first term. Republicans also helped the boom with a nice tax cut in his second term. Blaming Bush on the recession after that is laughable, as a recession started 2 months into his term. The legend of the economy was a stock bubble mostly anyways. Seems like a pattern with Dems. Everyone needs a house right?

No matter the reason....it boomed. You can give Congress credit or you can give Clinton credit....but the economy boomed in the 90s, most of the Natl debt that Regan ran up went away and lil George got elected and what happened?

Today you can blame Obama or Congress but our debt is crushing, our borders are wide open, wages are suppressed, jobs are stagnant, Educating our kids is crushing expensive and our infastrcture needs help.

And yes people still need affordable housing.

I dont really think Clinton or Congress had much to do with the IT boom(which was a large part of the booming economy back then)....they just happened to be in place when it happened. The bubble did finally burst though, and that was more of their fault(washington) than the boom itself.

It's idiotic to blame someone 2 months into their term, if one understands the basics of economics, in which most that lean to the left don't by my experiences. Lots of fairy tales out there, but the Clinton Boom is one of the better ones.

Also, there is affordable housing.... you just have to be halfway responsible and not live beyond your means. The Dems just wanted to buy votes in trying to give people what they couldn't afford.
