what the fuck? boehner has only been presumptive speaker of the house for hours and NOTHING has changed!!!!! i demand a revolution!!!

congratulations, you republicans got what you want, the government coming to a screaming halt, investigations, repealing of laws already passed, and a party with no ideas in charge in the house. congratulations. and i expect every one of you to be bitching if nothing has gotten better or gotten done at all in the next 2 years...

if nothing get's done that will be the least of our worries, it's what can be added to the melting pot of problems we already have that are a bigger concern, I'm just hoping for the best right now....btw for the most part I voted lib.

i am waiting to see how the new house is going to try to cut unemployment benefits and dismiss it as "an entitlement program" while there are no jobs being created and the unemployment rate stays the same or increases...nothing like unemployed voters cutting off their own heads...

i think i am just going to sit back and watch the spectacle as no meaningful legislation gets passed for the next 2 years.. where is my popcorn?

clearly you are angry, who's fault do you think it is that the democrats lost as many seats as they did?

here is how I see it, when you run on a platform that at its most basic says "chicken in every pot paid for by the rich" people get angry. They get angry that you want to take from them to give to someone else, and they get angry when the chicken doesn't show up...and we are an impatient bunch here. Right or wrong, it is the dems fault they are in this spot. Pushing blame never works. If they take ownership and are upfront with the American people I think they probably would have been fine through this mid term, they only have themselves to blame for horrible strategy. They will get it figured out though, I am sure that the 2012 elections won't be nearly as damaging, like I said...we are an impatient bunch.

I think you make some really good points, however I don't think it can be placed firmly on the dems laps. In one sense Obama has been criticized for promising too much too soon, have the Republicans / Tea Party not also been guilty of this.

Also, there has been an incredible smear campaign, much of which has been about his person rather than his policies, raging since your President took office, the like of which I believe is unprecedented. I mean, where is the evidence of Marxist policies (for that matter, what do you believe this term even means?)? 'Take our country back', I'm sorry but most international observers are still trying to decipher, what from? Medical insurance for those who cannot afford it, come on, is that really something you (tea party / repuclicans) can be against, has the 'land of the free' really become the land of 'go fuck yourself'? When did it turn so nasty? What is it about Obama that these people are so afraid of?, like Holy shit sticks, some of those Tea Party candadites were feckin scary, please America, pull yourselves back from the brink.

Another thing, how does Glenn Beck have such an audiance? The guy is an out and out hate monger, why isn't his crap called more often, why has he never had to answer for the crap he spews, for a society to allow that to go on to the degree it has unfortunatly speaks volumes about the audiance it's aimed at.

Please stop electing officials on the basis that they come across as someone you could have a drink with, I don't want the town drunk to be running the show - and yes yes I do realise the irony of that statement coming from an Irish man, but if anything we're the one's speaking from experience so we can say.

In closing - America needs to grow the fuck up and realise that not everything in live is like a McDonald's drive through, some things take time, and that saying no to someone soley on the basis of not liking them is petty and childish and gets nothing sorted.

Liberal / progressive - these are not bad words, shit the term progress is actual spelled out in the second one.
Education does not make someone an elite, like when in God's holy devine name did education become something of scorn.

You took in our starving and our needy, you have sent aid to those impoverished by natural disasters, you put a man on the fucking moon for godsake, you are capable of so much better than this.

Now usually when I rant off like this I do take a bit of shit about being Irish, so I'm going to pre empt it, yes I know that my countries government are a pile of crooks who have destroyed the place, I do drink, and yes I know the country is bankrupt - I'm only offering an opinion, choose to accept it or not. Kind of went off in a whole lot of different directions there but sure what the hell.

See now that's exactly what I'm talking about. You have no idea how anyone voted, yet you presume you won!! You do realise that it is not a football game that you are reffering to, just because someone has a differing opinion to your own doesn not encamp them on the losing side.

Many people vote on policies rather than parties, so your statement there seems even more silly, as if you see yourself as having won because Republican / Tea Party candidates were elected then maybe your country is doomed. I'd vote for the Big Bird if he had policies I agreed with, I couldnt give a fiddlers feck what party he's a part of.

Debate is a good thing my friend, it's healthy, however if that is the best you can bring to the party then I do feel that the point of politics has been lost on you.

Go forth young one and baske in your victory, you have a saved your country from tyranny, you have taken back your country, now gather what you need so that you may restore those founding principles.

Now that the "Party of NO" has been given the keys to the house... I guess we'll finally get to see what they are really made of.

Let's hear some ideas...because oddly enough...I haven't heard a single solution come from the right side of the asile in 2 years.

And by IDEAS I don't mean the same horse shit Ronald Reagan qoutes that the GOP has been dry humping for the last 2 decades.

I'll tell you one thing...John Boehner sure as hell won't get away with spending 20% of his time on the Golf Course like he did this past session...Maybe that's why ole' leatherface was getting all teary eyed last night...Poor Bastard probably realized what he just signed himself up for.

Ha Ha Ha I guess it's time to put away the golf clubs and roll up your LL Bean sleeves there Boner...I can't wait to see the sweat on your face when you get called on your bluff

Oh yeah...and Rand Paul's also got his work cut out for him...Talk about a ball and chain of promises.

Hopfully the "Aqua Budda" will be by his side when his angry mob of hillbilly teabaggers come looking for his head in a year or so.

I sure as hell don't want to be walking the streets of Kentucky when Magic Trickle Down Tap of Deregulation doesn't produce any drops of firewater for Ole Kentucky.

I'm sure these Tea Baggers will get their American Flag Boxers all in a knot when they realize that their golden egg Randy's just a worthless huckster who has no problem gettin all cozy with he Big Government establishment up in DC.

Fun Times...See ya in 2 years

Godfather.

this too good not mention the fact that this country has been in the toilet for the last several years and everybody wanted something done to fix it,well 3/4 of America voted for a radical change in our government and voted for people they felt best for the job but we all here on the train know that only this forum and its posters know what is really good for this country..I wonder why nobody asked the Train party who should do it and what to do to make America a better place to live

Yeah, don't the Dems still control the Senate?

It really doesn't matter though...nothing really gets accomplished in the US govt, no matter who's in charge.
Compromise would be nice but republicans don't know the definition of the word.

This just goes to show you the level of low-information that is out there.

Voter anger and impatience has just guaranteed 2 years of crippling gridlock.

Way to go America!!!

This President is suffering from a serious case of Jimmy Carter Syndrome.

Maybe we can't.

It was meant in jest, but I agree with you in regards to how healthy debate is.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to bask in my victory.
