The first of many, many, many crowing cartoons from the Far Right.
The Democrats deserved to lose these elections. They have a vast majority in Congress and hold the White House yet wasted their time and efforts catering to people who will never vote for them while ignoring their base.
Americans want change, not inaction – no matter what the Democrats do the Republicans will always attack it. They have found that they don’t need ideas, programs, or policies, all they need to do is attack.
The Republicans played to their base, got them involved, and angry. The Democrats ignored their base, so we lost interest, and now faith.
@Ken That’s how the republicans do things. Blame the democrats. Remember the all republican congress and white house? When things went wrong they still blamed the democrats!
Also right wing politics is all over the place. Your radio, T.V., newspaper, and even your pop up toaster are all riddled with right wing propaganda. If not for the internet we’d be goose stepping along with Anu_sAndy, fritos, and all the crazy goyem on U-Comics.
ANandy, are you talking about NY23rd district? Do you even read the papers? He couldn’t have been more conservative if he’d been carrying Rush Limbaugh on his shoulders, and he wasn’t one of three candidates – he was one of two after the moderate Republican dropped out under a barrage of wackjob hatchetry from the Palin wing of the GOP and some teabaggers. As it is, she still got six percent of the vote from people who wanted a sensible, sane candidate but couldn’t bring themselves to vote for a Democrat. Message: People don’t want nuts to represent them.
“Message: People don’t want nuts to represent them.”
Explains VA and NJ.
These two loses where a shot across the bow by the voters. The “blue dogs” from red states had better mend their ways or they will lose their jobs in 2012.
The only hope for the Dems is the fact that the GOP is just as screwed up. Both parties are having identity problems. What neither party understands is the people paying the bills (taxpayers) want LESS government, not more.
The far left is made up of two groups. The ones who don’t pay taxes and think the rest of us owe them an easy life and the “elite” who look down their noses on the first group, but want to feel good about forcing others give to the “less fortunate”.
Ahem. Yeah, new governors in those two states. But did anyone notice that the dems sent TWO more congressional reps to washington? Two southern states got repub governors. Democrats got two more congressional seats.
So Gorrell….. no comment on losing the 2 House seats? Yup… total change in the American political landscape. Especially since exit polls show that people weren’t even thinking about Obama.
Fail!
Church, you seem to have convient figgures. But the 2008 VA vote was more aginist McCain, he’s known there and the crack-pot running mate he had, then for Obama.
You people are completely insane if you think EITHER of the 2 major parties is any better than the other, or has the people’s best interests at heart. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS CORRUPT, as are both major parties. “All things have an optimal size beyond which they become dysfunctional”. The funniest posts are the liberals…like the second post on this thread, accusing an individual of being unable to think for himself simply because of the man’s political outlook. Perception is everything, & there are as many different perceptions as there are people on most things. A difference in opinion doesn’t mean one is stupid. HEY! Can y’all say…gridlock? Whatever happened to the Connecticut compromise?
SECESSION NOW!
My aunt used to have a big tomcat named Rosco who chased squirrels all his life…until one day, he caught one. I’ve never understood why ‘squirrel’ is supposed to be insulting. Squirrels are intelligent survivalists. Hey…every squirrel in this world is tryin’ to get a nut.
Church my vote was cast in VA. I was a long time resident of Va Beach and McCain’s known. As for the rest of the state once you’re away from the beltway it’ the 50’s all over.

And when would that have been?
2007 or 2008 by chance?

” … – he was one of two after the moderate Republican dropped out . . .”
after the absentee votes were mailed, which is one of the reasons why she still got 6%.Keep hallucinating though. Next year will have real fun!!!
Hoffman was fighting against the Democrat and the GOP. GOP endorsed him only after the handpicked Republican Marxist stepped aside.

If you don’t support your base it won’t support you.
You (unless you are Bush in 2000) win elections by getting the most votes – so you need your people to turn out and vote.
The Republicans had their base up and angry and they turned out.
The Democrats had their base disappointed and dismayed, we stay home.
