Fuck when did they start gerrymandering states? I live in southern Maine, is there any chance I can get gerrymandered into NH for less tax? Someone please make it happen!

It's called secession.

Unfortunately, the only secession they talk about here is Central Maine and up breaking off and us joining Massachusetts.

I think we do need a new system..... One bullet, one vote.

How exactly would that work?

How exactly would that work?

Very simple..... whichever side had anyone left at the end, wins.

Make no mistake about it. There are a lot of Libtard morons in this country and that is why this country is pretty well screwed. When greedy assholes have the numbers to use the electorate process to get the government to steal things on their behalf then this country is fvcked.

Somebody give him a civics lesson.

The lesson is we are stuck with an archaic undemocratic system.

Actually the lesson is that libtards are dangerous to civil society.

It's a Party full of Useful Idiots.

Because we're not a Democracy.

The teaching of history was the very first thing the Progressives targeted for destruction once they got control of the educational system and you see the results in this thread

These numbers need to be paid attention too for the upcoming elections. Sure, GOP can revel in its victory...but one has to keep in mind that it was a midterm, lameduck election where it is an historical given that the opposition party takes control of Congress. Top that with the overall vote count as presented above...the idea that the GOP has a mandate to do nothing, to shut down the government, or waste time with bills that won't pass is ridiculous. This election was simply a battle and the victory parade is over...it is time to look to 2016...the important election that will garner much more of a turnout and an election that will put the GOP under the same microscope Obama and the Dems have been under.

This is the problem with teapers, they are reactionary and they can't see the big picture. They think that this election gives them rough shot to do as they please. The Tea Party is destroying the GOP and their vitriol and hate might put the nails in the coffin in 2016 if they can't see past their noses.

Lead or lose...hopefully the true Conservatives can keep the teapers on a short leash so the war can be won.

If we were to leave...the GOP would cease to exist as the tea party will run it into the ground.

Yes, the Tea party mantra...screw Democracy and the Republic, if we don't get our way, we threaten violence and war!

Then get out. Move to canada.

The American system of government is fcked up.

The problem is that our Constitutional Republic does not have the iron clad guarantees to protect our rights.

All we need is the greedy majority (usually only a plurality) to vote in shitheads like Obama to rob us and take away our freedom and we don't have the courage to do anything about it.

What freedoms have you lost. Please be specific.

On Tuesday, 33 US senators elected in November will be sworn in by Vice President Joe Biden — including 12 who are new to the chamber. The class includes 22 Republicans and 11 Democrats, a big reason why the GOP has a 54-46 majority in the Senate overall.

But here's a crazy fact: those 46 Democrats got more votes than the 54 Republicans across the 2010, 2012, and 2014 elections. According to Nathan Nicholson, a researcher at the voting reform advocacy group FairVote, "the 46 Democratic caucus members in the 114th Congress received a total of 67.8 million votes in winning their seats, while the 54 Republican caucus members received 47.1 million votes."

Here's what that looks like in chart form:

Just another reason why 2016 should be great for Democrats!

The commies got their asses handed to them, when are you going to quit crying about it?

Somebody give him a civics lesson.

You mean the part about gerrymandering?

All senate seats are state wide elections, so your statement is BS.

That's what being a Republican is all about; the few rule the many.

You need a little cheese with that whine? You don't like the Constitution see Article 5.
