Not what I said, was it? People hate gridlock, especially in a terrible economy. The republicans are promising nothing but more gridlock.

Pretty irritating to watch John the Situation Boehner and all the rest of the Republican leadership blabbing on and on about how last night's results say that people want 'less government'. No, you idiots.


The democrats are worse than the republicans. It's o.k. to be scared. All Americans should be.

You're smarter than that. What I said was they care way less about the size of the government than it's efficiency.

Uh. Efficiency tends to improve when the size of a government, organizations, etc. are scaled down. And with the track record of our government it's painfully obvious that expansion would only make things worse.

Fair enough, but the message should be that we're going to accomplish specific things within the system as well, not that we're simply going to get rid of sh it and see what happens. There's no plan from republicans, I'd be worried about their 'agenda' if they had one other than riling up racists and being as much of a pain in the ass to Obama as possible.

gridlock is what this country was founded on. it would be stupid if everything had a free pass through congress. the founding fathers created this system to create gridlock.

progressives dont like gridlock because they want an unlimited credit card.

It's pretty funny how you always read things the way you want to read them. No one's talking about free passes. You made that up.

Democrats lost independents and democrats because they feel nothing got accomplished the first two years. This is my point. There's no republican plan for anything. It's essentially 'let's make rich people richer again and stop healthcare.' And the ever ambiguous 'cutting spending.' Often by recommending tax cuts. Which still makes no sense. That's not going to win them anything in 2012, sorry.

pretty sure jobs and lowering the deficit are the two main things on republicans minds...

but you can read things the way you want to read them of course. i dont agree with anything in your second paragraph. its the liberal equivalent of birther and obama is a muslim speak.

You're so bad at equivalents it's crazy.

What's the republican plan for creating jobs and lowering the deficit? What are they going to do that Obama hasn't done? I'd really like to know.

I think not doing what he has done will be a very good thing.

Hearing Obama speak about the great communicators Reagan and Clinton as he was saying "uh uh uh" makes me think he missed that day in speech class.
Bullshyte aside it is a fact that this country had a bigger surplus of revenue when there was a Democrat(Clinton) as president and the Republicans were in charge of Congress. Perhaps the current president should take look back at that and see how it the elected officials made it work.

democrats lost independants because independants didnt like the direction the dems were taking us on. not that they didnt accomplish enough. they dont even agree with what was accomplished.

dems might have lost other dems because they didnt accomplish enough. but do you really believe a that kind of Dem would vote for a republican? if anything it just made them stay home and not vote.

this election was more of statement against Obama & Pelosi than it was for the republicans.

nobody in their right mind can think the direction of the past 2 year.. 4 year for that matter.. has been a good thing.

repubs need to come through on cutting spending (and yes, joey, the majority of america wants to cut down on spending). they cant just go through the motions if they expect to remain in office.
