Democrats deserved this

a reply to: beezzer

I'm seeing more and more candidates identifying themselves as Libertarian or Green party. But they still only get a smattering of votes. They're not even game-changers yet.

But it is a slow rise of other party's rather than just Repub or Dem. It's going to take awhile.

And the other problem with third party is that the media usually smears them as being to extreme. Which they often are.

The MSM is heavily invested in partisan politics.

Being impartial doesn't make them the money.

The question was off topic and confusing.

a reply to: muse7

Nothing new, to see, the same old, same old, I knew how the mid terms was going to be and I know for a fact who elite party will name will win the elections.

Is pattern you know this is done to keep the people waving their littler flags of freedom of choice.

a reply to: TDawgRex

Actually I voted yesterday and I gave my vote to any independent and libertarian available when it was not available I made sure that none of the people I gave my vote were anti gun and that didn't have affiliations to any other elite party, plus I register myself as bipartisan, for the heck of it.

Not this time. Obama will lash out like a cornered dog and try to give 30 million illegals amnesty, and implement whatever other communist agenda items left on his list, and ruin the country even further. Then the GOP will take the WH for the trifecta.

a reply to: ScientiaFortisDefendit

Actually it occurs to me that is the one path where Democrats will push for Obama's impeachment, rather than Republicans.

Ironically, the Republicans will resist that believing they have more to gain with Obama staying at the helm.

Fascinating politics.

Let's just hope that both parties heard the starting gun for the race to the center.

That is the word of the day, fascinating, yes, but I also find it amusing, to a certain point. politics are so easily to predict but hard to stop.

Except they didn't. I already showed you that women went democrat as usual. Must I link the info again?

Ooookay ... it's time once again for me to take an "ATS Break" big-time, but before I go, and in the sentiment of this thread, I'd like to quote one of my favorite literary characters, who is sadly more real than most of the people I know:

Bruno Gianelli, "The West Wing"

Because I'm tired of working for candidates who make me think that I should be embarrassed to believe what I believe, Sam! I'm tired of getting them elected! We all need some therapy, because somebody came along and said, "'Liberal' means soft on crime, soft on drugs, soft on Communism, soft on defense, and we're gonna tax you back to the Stone Age because people shouldn't have to go to work if they don't want to!" And instead of saying, "Well, excuse me, you right-wing, reactionary, xenophobic, homophobic, anti-education, anti-choice, pro-gun, Leave It To Beaver trip back to the Fifties...!", we cowered in the corner, and said, "Please. Don't. Hurt. Me."

... and that, Ladies and Germs, is about The Danged Truth.

(See you in a few weeks.)

The Democrat failure is Obama's fault 100%.

If the shoe fits.....

You do realize it was the Dems [Southern] that wanted slavery way back then and the Rep was formed to put a stop to it

And now the Dems are making modern day slaves out of them now by keeping them dependent on entitlement programs instead of letting them better themselves

And it's always Dems that throw around race when they don't get their way

"Way back then" the two parties were flip flopped. The "Democrats" of that era were what we consider conservatives today. Sometime in the 1920's or so the two parties switched platforms and ideologies.

Hypocritical, as usual.

Any political party that does not do what is best for the people should be thrown out on their ass. Once again, we see that huge dividing line that keeps us at each others throats and Them in power. I joined my share of Obama and Dem bashing threads, but neither party has Our best interests at heart, only keeping themselves in control over us. We need to keep the Republicans under a microscope, just as we have the Dems and bash them just as hard when they screw up.
Notice I didn't say "If".

I believe we can all agree with you here...

Let's just hope that they all can put their egos aside [including Obama] for once and put the interest of the American citizens first and at least try to work together

Only time will tell but yes, we will be watching

And if the Rep. fail to accomplish anything, well it will be a replay next election with the Rep. in the hot seat

I know you guys are talking about women voters [I think] but check this out:

West Virginia Elects America’s Youngest State Lawmaker

A West Virginia University freshman who did most of her campaigning out of her dorm room became the youngest state lawmaker in the nation Tuesday.

Republican Saira Blair, a fiscally conservative 18-year-old, will represent a small district in West Virginia’s eastern panhandle, about 1½ hours outside Washington, D.C., after defeating her Democratic opponent 63% to 30%, according to the Associated Press. A third candidate got 7% of the vote.

How cool is that? 18 years old!!!!!
Awesome

And no, I don't care what party she's affiliated with, I give her credit for trying.....and winning!!

But since she does happen to be a Rep. and several other women [R] were voted into office as well, I think the Dems have lost footing with their 'War on Women' bullcrap they spew about Rep.



The youngest women elected to office are Republicans
