Are we seeing the death of the Democrat Party as we know it?

[firespin]

So, two governors and a senator mean a banner year for Republicans. Hooraw!

Well, it was all the major races, so there's that.

The question I have for you (that you aren't answering), is why should people vote for republican candidates when they were just thrown out by America for being horrible?

What's changed since they were horrible?

Your premise is flawed. Most of the Republicans who ran for re-election were in fact re-elected. "Horrible" is your opinion, and makes no real impact to anybody but yourself.

Don't forget the other Georgian Democrat, Lester Maddox. His Lit name could be RacistDownSouth. Ahahahahaha.

I don't think Stoner ever held a public office. Lester was a Bozo.

I honestly don't know how anyone with a functioning brain can support the Democrat party any longer.

That's understandable, miles, there isn't much you do know about people with functioning brains.

The republican party went from controlling the executive branch and both the Senate and House - to controlling nothing. Even Republican strongholds such as Virigina, North Carolina, and Indiana went blue in the election.

Horrible is just my opinion though? Is that why Bush had a 27% approval rating? Because of my opinion?

Really?

Actually, 22%.

You might be the last person in America who doesn't think this administration is horrible and that the bums that enable them in the congress won't get thrown out on their ears come November.

Obama's approval rating is about 21 points higher than the last Republican president's. You realize this, right? About half the country approves of the administration, plus there's a segment of undecided/no opinion.

But it's no surprise that you think the way you do, as you let bogus partisan fake news sources spoon feed you crap on a daily basis - instead of thinking for yourself.

I never said that Dems will not lose seats in November. You're putting words into my mouth.

In fact, I think there are some real issues with some Dems including Harry Reid. The country is in an anti-incumbent mood again - just like they were a couple years ago when the Repubs were screwing everything up.

Well, duh. Different candidates win different elections. Bush wasn't running again. Carter's approval rating at the end of his term was in the same general area as Bush's, and Reagan won some traditionally blue states. Did that mean Democrats were horrible?

Fail.

LOL...now you're covering all your bases. Republicans are "horrible", but you think they'll pick up seats in the election. Whereas you thought their loss of seats proved the whole horrible thing.

Fail again.

Or should I say, "still"?

My even odd rule

One of the things I've always noticed is that in the odd years, Democrats give reign to their loons and offer up all the loon ideas to placate them and then hustle back to the center in even years, but in this election cycle, they've let the lunacy spread into the even year, which is usually when they, at least, put on an appearance of sanity.

What may have died is the polite fiction that they are not socialists and that it's just a scary word Republicans use to frighten people...

They took the mask off and then they dropped it, perhaps never intending to have to pick it up again.

After reading your profile it's obvious you aren't functioning well on any level, Wiki Boy. You hit the trifecta - personally, professionally, and financially.

We tried to warn them the Democrats couldn't govern, that they would make Bush look like a piker when it came to spending. Remember how alarmed they were at his 400 billion deficit? Ahahahaha...

What is it I've been saying for almost two years now?




They won't believe Jimmy Carter until they SEE Jimmy Carter...

You big dummy. The trillion dollar deficit in Obama's next budget is still Bush's fault.

That goes to the other trillion dollar deficits in the budgets after that.

Some will need to be smacked across the face with Jimmy's wet mop before they see.

A good 30% are always going to blame the failure of socialism on the "greed" of those who refuse to get with the program...

Bingo. And the sad fact is that many moderate democrats are going to bite the dust because that mask has slipped. The true progressive/communist democrats are from truly safe districts and will be around to infect any new crop at a later date. They will also be the 'ranking' members that will determine the agendas and who gets the goodies. If for no other reason this is the strongest argument for term limits regardless of the party in power.

I hear you, but I'm really torn on the term limit idea. There really needs to be some residual memory...

What gets me is the fear of change. These "moderates" know they are loathed, but yet, it's the party that got them to the dance, so they seriously consider "taking one for the team."

But not to worry, in an ever-expanding government, we'll always need petty bureaucrats...
