Republicans always put their A team in the media.
Republicans control the media, but call any outlet that dares report the facts liberal like that's a bad thing.
Republicans are unified in their opposition.
Republicans don't compromise or capitulate.
Republicans know appeasement doesn't work.
The message and communication is the Democrats fault.
The GOP could possibly win on NOTHING. Doing NOTHING. We have Democrats running from their own damn record and that is atrocious ENOUGH!! Running from Fin Reg, HIR, Lilly Ledbetter, running away like dogs with their tails between their legs.
What message does that create!!
The Obama White House better get its act together for part two if they plan on winning in 2012 and it better start with COMMUNICATING with the public
Republicans are loyal. They stand behind their guy/gal 100% right or wrong.
Republicans pander to their base, but get them to vote against their self interest.
Republicans control the message, therefore they control the outcome.
Still, flashback two years ago and I bet a scene like this was far removed from the mind of his O ness. He could not have seen this coming. It seems like only yesterday that we were all crying and "kumbayaing" each other while we chanted "yes we can". No more. Politics is all about passion, and the majority of A-merry-cans aren't passionate about their politics. They are too busy trying to keep up with each other to worry about something as insignificant as a political philosophy or ideology. Their vote depends on their pocket books and what they see on commercials. And the guy with the most money controls the message. Hell, the guy with the most money can start a phony grass roots movement and watch it grow.
Republicans use fear, bigotry and misinformation to keep their base in line.
In the next few weeks you will be hearing a lot about this election. You will hear about A-merry-ca being a center to right country. You will hear that this was a referendum on Obama's policies, and that A-merry-cans got tired of the spending in Washington, blah blah blah. Don't believe a word of it. This was about a party out of power passionately trying to get it back, and succeeding by tricking ordinary A-merry-cans into thinking that they all had the same goals. It was about a few (not all) people in the majority population who suddenly became passionate about politics because of the complexion of the occupants in the people's house. It was about an orchestrated campaign from day one by certain media outlets to drive up ratings with phony and slanted stories, and creating a rabid foam at the mouth opposition to an administration that was led by the perfect boogey man.
Republicans don't cross party lines.
President Obama campaigned on the promise of HOPE for Change we can believe in.
The republicans under the direction of Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin were determined to rob us that HOPE for Change we can believe in, and the media gleefully drove the get away car.
We'll all talk about this more tomorrow, but I blame the geniuses in the Democratic Party -- both in the White House and elsewhere -- who failed to establish firmly the narrative after the election that needed to be hammered home daily and relentlessly and fearlessly: that Americans had repudiated conservative rule because it had manifestly proven itself a failure. Instead, Democrats thought "bipartisanship" was more important. Sure it was.
So. what are the republicans going to do first? It's time to put up or shut up.
Demand President Obama show his birth certificate and impeach him if he refuses?
Repeal health care reform so that if you get sick you don't have access to quality affordable health care?
Repeal Roe v. Wade and the Lilly Ledbetter equal pay for women act?

Privitize Social Security?

Outlaw all trade unions?
Sell off government held land/reserves, and anything else they can privatize?Revoke anyone's citizenship and deport them under the flimsiest of charges of any crime even misdemeanors they deem as crimes against the state?
Repeal the 14th amendment and the Civil Rights Act?
Investigate and convict democrats for corruption?
What is President Obama going to do?
Go along to get along?
Dust off his veto pen?
Give a speech?
Go on vacation?
Have a beer summit?
Invite Rick Warren to pray at the White House?
Renounce, reject and repudiate Reverend Jeremiah Wright?
Rehire Rham Emmanuel?
Give Robert Gibbs, Valerie Jarret and David Axelrod a promotion and a raise?
Psst President Obama! Waterloo.
Progressive Caucus Co-Chair Lynne Woolsey, congresswoman from California, told Pacifica News Radio that the Democrats lost the House because "we weren't bold enough." If they had started off with a jobs bill, Woolsey said, their position would be different tonight. And, Woolsey said, "We could have done a much better job of letting people know what we had accomplished."
At an election-night event broadcast by Free Speech TV at a progressive gathering-place in Washington, D.C., longtime labor activist Bill Fletcher complained that progressives left the right a wide opening when, after the election, the leaders who had put together the coalition that elected President Barack Obama sent those activists "back to the barracks."
So, now that the Republicans have the House, what will they do? Beholden to the special corporate interests who poured millions into races across the country, they are pledging to shrink the size of government and cut spending. But more than that, their mandate is to stop Obama from doing anything.
I hope the media is happy. Overall, though, we're going to be in pitched combat over the next two years, fighting off a pit bull of hate.
The progressive movement suffered worse than the Democrats did. The defeat of Russ Feingold, the only senator to vote against the Patriot Act and the last major stalwart for campaign finance reform, is a crushing blow. Alan Grayson, even though he was loud and oftentimes decisive, did not waver in his principles. The loss of these two men in congress is a major setback for what passes as the far-left in this country.
The nightmare of a repub takeover many of us have predicted is about to become reality, kids.
How QUICK Americans forget...Republicans had total control for the last eight years and this country is in the mess it is in because of THEM...The Republicans walked all over the Democrats when they were in control under Bush and the Republicans bullied the Democrats when the Americans put them in Control in 2008. I was frustrated then and now, but I did VOTE because I wanted to give them a chance to grow a pair against the Republicans in Washington.
The PEOPLE lost tonight and the PEOPLE that allowed the FEAR MACHINES...FOX NEWS, PALIN, LIMBAUGH, AND BECK scare them into voting Tea Party/Republican again will be crying a river soon. It will not take long for them to realize they were USED and the Tea Bag/Republican party has NOTHING for them...
What color is the Terra Lert?
I would be careful what you and your followers say from now on.
The greatest fear of some Negroes have come true. The Tea Party and Republicans have taken their country back. How does it feel to be a so-called FN now?
Not only is Obama toast, but so are you liberal progressive black Dembos who have been shooting off your mouths like you were the center of the universe with some intelligence and power. The truth is you had very little of it, and you even have less now.
The American people have spoken. Pack your s^&t and get out! lol
Are your Ducks taped?
