   Talk about reaching. The incumbent prez got less votes than 4 years ago and the Dems in Congress ain’t exactly popular either.

   Republicans are less popular than Dems and will be blamed when we go over the cliff.

   And the boner’s “Plan B” couldn’t even get enough support in his own party to make it to the floor!

   Ummm…. The Republican lost some seats in the House of Representatives. Originally, they were expected to have a good chance to also take over the Senate, but they actually lost some seats there also….

   Check the numbers, mathematics must not be your strong point!!

   For whatever it is worth, we ARE going over the Fiscal cliff. And most pols show that even more Americans than voted for President Obama are going to blame the Republicans in Congress for whatever damage that is going to cause to the American economy.

   NOT a good thing for the Republican Party in 2014!!!

   Obama’s margin of victory outscored both of GW Bush’s. You probably supported HIS actions.
   And the predictions were that the GOP would seize control of the Senate by taking many seats, but no. The Democrats came within a hair of getting both houses. You should read 538.com more often.

   If their actions (or rather, lack of action) on the fiscal cliff aren’t enough, their insistence on ramming guns everywhere they don’t belong will cause even more defections.

   Too funny how this “Lame Elephant Session” has ended with Crybaby Boehner’s Plan BS now belonging in the republican’s graveyard. Mitch McConnell filibustering his own bill and Crybaby Boehner’s Plan BS not passing are vying for the most incompetent political acts of human history.

   Just because my GOP is in disarray just now is not a problem. We still have all the rich people in America supporting us. And money is power.

    The GOP has gone even more cuckoo since the big drubbing they took in November. Attacking Susan Rice, failing to even vote for their own budget plan, even when they knew it couldn’t pass real-world acceptance. The president’s approval rating is up to 56%, the Republicans is falling to the bottom. Maybe if they hadn’t gerrymandered so that they could rule even as a majority of voters voted them out they would have learned the lesson better than they do. Even Republicans are referring to them as the inmates of the asylum, as “chuckleheads.” It’s really too bad that they have the power to bring down the country, as they really don’t see anything wrong with doing just that.

    I probably wouldn’t have responded except for your snarky comment.
    What did you post that contradicts ConserveGov’s comment?
    Obama got fewer votes this year and Congress gets something like a 17% approval rate.

    Well, since you’re going there, Clinton only got 43% and 45% of the votes. "You probably supported HIS actions.

    @Mr. King

    I don’t think Landers proved that they were “facts” and your short derogatory comment didn’t either.
