Map: What A Republican Takeover Looks Like; 100-Year Majority?...

[paulitician]

100-Year Majority?

A Thousand Year Reich?

Yeah sure. Whatever douchebag.

 

[dblack]

Once the Republicans have served up a term or two of 'same-old, same-old' we'll thrash back in the other direction. Wash, rinse, repeat.

 

[paulitician]

One mid-term victory doesn't not a 100 year majority make. It is a pretty delusional statement to make.

Yeah, a 100yrs is a bit much. Probably not gonna happen. Euphoric wishful thinking.

 

[Borillar]

Wow, pretty astounding.

"A hundred year majority..."

Why's that familar? Are you channeling old Nuremberg speeches maybe?

The 1000 year Reich immediately came to mind. It only lasted 12 years.

If the GOP actually pushes a legislative agenda of fiscal responsibility and smaller government it may come to pass. Sadly once they get elected they do the exact opposite.

 

[paulitician]

Still, seeing all that Red, makes those USMB Democrat 'Republican Party is Dead' predictions look incredibly stupid. Gotta remember to call them on that one. And we all know who they are.

 

[BlackSand]

The point has been made that red states will stay red and blue states will stay blue except for maybe Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Colorado and Ohio.

So when figuring out the way Congress and the Presidency will go in 2016 ... You can figure those states will see a lot of politics coming down the pipe. At least until Democrats figure out that Florida alone will get them over the Electoral College vote necessary to win if they do hold the other blue states.

This GOP majority will disappear if it follows Rush's advice.

I have to agree. Republicans still have a big problem in National Elections. Once you get to that level, it becomes more about personalities and media likeability. Issues don't matter as much. So the Democrats may get the White House again, but the Republicans can control everything else. That may be what we'll see for a long time.

Your ignorance continues! Without Rush, this country would likely be totally Marxist like Obama and a majority of the dims!

 

[JakeStarkey]

birddog, you are a boob.

The millennials, thick with women and minorities, think the Rushbots are boobs.

Women and minorities made this election victory possible for us.

Piss them off, and they will vote for the Dems.

Not hardly.

Yes, because in America, the government owns the means of production and there is no private property and political opposition is not tolerated. Oh wait, I work for a private corporation, own property, and the Republicans just won the senate. You idiots don't know Karl Marx from Groucho Marx.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Wow, pretty astounding.

That map is marvelously dishonest, which coming from paulitician should surprise no one.

For example, that map makes it appear that the GOP overwhelmingly controls my state of NY in the House of Representatives.

In fact, the Democrat majority over the GOP in New York is

21 Democrats 6 Republicans!

The rest of the map is similarly bullshit.

[Borillar]

There will be only a firm majority if the GOP continue reachin gout to women and minorities.

The elections of 2008, 10, 12, 14 all swung on whether the party in power was governing.

Guess what? John, Mitch, and Barak better work together.

Agree with you except for the working together part. This President and Harry Reid have been arrogant assholes. They've never shown any interest in working with Republicans. In fact, they only boasted about not working with them.

So i don't see these historic Republican wins as a mandate to work with this President. I see it as the exact opposite. The People put the Republicans in there to kick this President and his Party's ass. And hopefully, that's what they'll do.

We had record low voter turnout. I haven't seen the totals yet, but I'd wager that more people voted for Barak Obama to be the President in 2012 than the total number of republican voters in this midterm. What about that mandate? Republicans would be foolish to ignore that. They would be wise to try and get things done where there is opportunity to do so.

LOL ... You are more optimistic than I am.

All that needs to happen for Democrats to win the presidency, is move a few more Californians to Colorado and New Yorkers to Florida. In some cases, Liberals are fleeing from disastrous big government policies and income taxes in places like California and New York. The only problem is that they take their socialism with them ... And don't mind bringing the same crap they are running away from to the places they land.

Yeah sure. Whatever douchebag.

It's the identical delusion at work.

If sagebrush and tumbleweeds had the vote, the map might mean something.

Yeah, National Elections favor Democrats. But Republicans will still do well in other Elections. So the likely scenario for awhile is a Democrat President with Republicans controlling everything else.

Ha yeah, how's that 'Republican Party is Dead' prediction workin out for ya? Ya big ole dummy.
