Voted.

Now I feel like everything is going to go my way....

But, in the back of my mind I remind myself that this is America...

A place where anyone can dream....


For the right price.

But the misdirected extremism of Obama had hurt democrats a lot.

you could not be more wrong

the only controversial legislation PRESIDENT Obama signed was the ACA and that was back in
2010, and then he beat Romney by over 5 million votes and an electoral landslide AFTER the ACA was made law.

Your contention does not hold water, better you reason with history on your side, all minority parties do very well in Mid Term elections because the other side, in this case the Dems, don't give a damn and don't show up to vote. Witness 1994 and 2006 for strong examples of this.

Demo-publican junta wins, in any case. Monsanto, Dow Chemical, military-industrial complex wins, etc, no matter which clown is up in the seat.

tioga, I'll give you that. Which is why the rest of your post makes no sense. Obama an extremist?

ok.... I know you're just being general and everything.... or principled or something... but...

Tell, you what.. You find me one of these "some fat nanny bureaucrat slob siphoning money from your pocket or telling you how to live"

 I won't think you're extremist.

Wait... Is that a "nanny government" - Mississippi style? or more like New York bum style "nanny government"?

Requiring a person to pay a FEE for BEING ALIVE, which is inalienable right and not a "privilege" granted by society or government, is extremism.

No different to the various capitation taxes that have existed for centuries, except Obamacare is optional. Many original states required adult males to either keep a firearm for militia use, or else pay an equivalent tax to support the militia. Of course, that was considered extremism at the time.

Looks like America has spoken, and wants this ship turned around...or rather...this sinking ship re-floated.

Let's see, Cragman, the last Republican prez left an economy in collapse, a historic total freefall. Now that's what I call a sinking ship.

The ship had been already saved from sinking by the current president. And I have the feeling the Republicans, who now can't just scream and hide their rightwing, tea party uncle in the closet, will do as they always do...nothing, or worse.

This was a sea change, sure. But don't forget, more Democrat seats were on the ballot this time - not so in 2016, when it reverses.

Which brings me to Hillary, who had a good night. 2 years of the dysfunctional, no-ideas crowd running the show should make voters want another sea change in '16.

The sun is up and its shinning very brightly right now.

A new day to be sure

But nothing has really changed now has it.

every one of the newly elected serves a master

and that master is not you and it is not me.

just some new names

the problems are still the same.

But one thing is for sure, Barry is not going to lock the door this friday, and proclaim.... "we don't need you"

carry on bros.....

So, you guys are just now figuring out that Republican's didn't run on anything positive, just anti-Obama. Congratulations.

Now that the GOP has all the legislative power, we can count on them to totally overplay their hand and piss off the whole country just in time for the next election. And go into full-blown civil war with each other. Mitch McConnell might have plans to be Majority Leader, but the lunatic Cruz has other ideas.

So, we'll get more investigations and little more. At least we can look forward to watching the Republican Party eat itself alive. And don’t forget, the GOP Presidential Primary Clown Show starts tomorrow.

What this election and this 'discussion' underscores is how disfunctional a two-party political system is.
In a parliamentary system meaningful work can take place even when the ruling party does not
have an outright majority. Does anyone foresee our situation improving in their lifetime? Not
bloody likely, eh?
