Why does the "GOP Wave" only occur during Non-Presidential Years?

[Stephanie]

It should be pretty obvious by now, even to the Repub. deniers, that they only time they can win is in the off years of elections. The demographics and the math is growing to be more and more of a problem with the GOP. They know this....well they talk about it when no one is around to listen. So, what is the answer?

Since the more people that vote, the worse the GOP fares, they will continue to try to limit access to the voting booth. They have no choice. It is a matter of survival.

This article was written before the "GOP Wave" and is spot on.

Two presidential elections in a row and you think you have a dynasty. Were you saying the same when Bush did it? Or how about 3 in a row for Republicans with Reagan and Bush?

Exactly. You just can't take these people in the Democrat base, serious.
it's become so pathetic really

Things are gonna be real different when a black man isn't on top of the ticket. There goes about 15,000,000 minority votes......Poof!!! Just like the mid-terms.

Sorry.

So you think those black votes are going to go to tepubs....? Think again....

This is just the prelude.

I think you better enjoy the next two years. It might be your last stand for a while.

good grief jim. put your claws in already. you do look like such a sore damn loser.

It looks a lot better then running around yelling "VOTER FRAUD! VOTER FRAUD! OBAMA WON WITH VOTER FRAUD!!" all over.

Actually, the translation should be...we need "VOTER SUPPRESSION!! VOTER SUPPRESSION!"

I would rather Republicans hold The Hill vs. The White House. Kicking out Pelosi and now Reid will help America.

Simple .... Dems can't afford to buy elections every two years.

We won and we now need to rule like the democrats rule. No democrat sponsored bills or amendments welcomed or allowed. No filabuster on anything. I'm sure the democrats will understand and be respectful of the rules since they wrote them.

As much as turnabout is fair play, the Rs need to be the bigger party and reach across the congressional aisle. obama is a lost cause but I believe not all the Dems are. When DC is balanced (or more balanced than now, anyways), everyone benefits. This great divide that obama has fostered has to stop. Seriously.
