GOP takes back the house. Opinions?

God help us if another Bush ever makes it to the White House ever again. So many people will never let such a thing happen.

I know this is not a popular opinion in these uber liberal parts but I'm glad The Rep took the Senate.With Obama wanting to actually have something meaningful to leave as a legacy in these last 2years I think you see some actual cooperation and some things will get done
.Alot of the Rep were mainstream Moderate that won office and not far right Tea Party.That is good.And I think you will see Jeb run and win next election.As a independant and Buisness owner I no problem with that and welcome the change.

Hilarious. Especially the "cooperation" part.

Rr, The republicans were obstructionists since Obama took office. Now he's to work with them???

Actually Jeb was a great Gov here in FL.He did not tow the party line when it came to taking care of our state,especially how he pit bulled after Big Insurance after our Year with 4 Hurricanes.He earn my respect.That is more important to me then a party affiliation.He did the right thing when he needed to.

True,they were/are.But the Dems and Reed and Pelozzi are just as bad.Both parties worry to much about party lines and not enough about those of us that elected them to represent us.All fuck tards.

Again, hilarious. From day 1, republicans have refused to work with Obama. Not the other way around. I'm done here. I don't argue party lines. You folks only willing to see lines drawn and not the bigger picture (the machine) are a waste of my time.

you can take that to the bank. it is coming.

both sides will play nice for awhile.

the gop will pass a few things, obama will sign some, veto others.

all the while, republican led committees will be investigating the president going all the way back to when he was a senator. these committees are not accountable to anybody. not even the speaker of the house or head of the senate. this is why committee chairmanships are such coveted positions, and are such great honors to receive.

give it 8 months.

i can not help but see the irony that people voted out democrats that were not polling too terribly bad in favor of a party that has seen all time unfavorable marks in polls the last 2 years.

the gop wanted it, now it is their responsibility to lead. after 6 years of saying "NNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" it is now their responsibility to get up off of their asses and actually do something.

lastly, i got a chance to see the victory speech by joni ernst. i am now stupider for having heard it...

RR, you are going to have to take back what you've said.

another interesting tidbit about these results. nearly all progressive ballot initiatives passed, yet the conservatives won the seats.

fracking was defeated.
fetal personhood was defeated.
keeping outside money out of our elections passed... in Rikon, WI, birthplace of the republican party, this was passed by a whopping 80%-20%.
voter id laws in some states were defeated.
minimum wage hikes passed.
marijuana legalization passed.
in missouri, where i live, a ballot initiative barring teachers to collectively bargain got destroyed.

progressive positions won at the ballot box. conservative candidates won the seats.

why is this???

koch brothers and other outside monied groups buying influence.

lol...on what grounds?

You really think the Dems are going to side with the GOP to impeach?

Yesterday was a great day in America!

I voted and I guess I feel OK about that. Locally, the elections were a disaster in terms of county measures. Developers and big money kicked our asses. Sprawl always seems to win. Might be time to move again one of these days.

Makes no difference. The 2 party system is really one party - the machine. When are folks going to wake up to the fact that the illusion that either party makes a difference in how this country is run is a fallacy?

We're all being snowed that either party gives a damn about anything other than greed, power and themselves.

This always seemed like a cynical cop out to me. Like apathy has sunk in and you give up.

Did I say I gave up? I voted. Did you? What I say above is the way things are. Whether you choose to accept it or choose to pretend that sides make a difference.

stop teasing me )

seriously I'm worried what will happen if numnutz does get impeached because as another poster said "they're ALL greedy crooks" so what will biden do at the helm ? will he be a meat puppet for the right ?

Comments like this have no place in political discussion! Get with the program, man. You're supposed to say this to seem middle of the road and then offer some type of backhanded derogatory comment to one of the parties, which you failed to do.

See this thread for examples.
