How many Democrat congressmen will lose their seats in November?

[miles]

Personally, I believe ALL 435 should lose their jobs,

And the 1/3 that are up for re-election in the Senate.

Whether they are doing a good job is irrelevant.

It's what is desperately needed.

Until they start understanding the concept of a Representative Republic.

I agree. Flush all of 'em down the drain.

We'll be hearing a lot from the conservative movement for a long while yet, of course -- not because it represents an increasing or even constant base of Americans, but because it still has a lot of institutional advantages, wholly-owned media outlets, think-tanks, grassroots organizations, astroturf organizations, and deep-pocket corporate backers.

You've got your parties ass-backwards.

Inflation is just around the corner. The Democrats will have created it and will suffer the consequences.

You're being too kind.

Probably.

The problem for the Dems is that the House package is totally unacceptable to the Senate and the Senate bill is a non-starter with the hard-core leftists in the house.

There are no hard-core leftists in the House, not even Dennis Kucinich.

 

[KingOrfeo]

Inflation is just around the corner.

We may hope. Inflation is usually a sign a recession is ending.

Link please.

*snooze*

Yep, all will be well for the coming Democrat train wreck.

Political crystal balls suck. They're for the gullible. Just ask Hillary Clinton. Don't be gullible. So much can change in a short period of time when it comes to politics ... and usually does.

The economy is in a pivot mode now. Likely revisions to the November job numbers could show the first job growth in a very long time. December could make it two months in a row. How much it recovers in the next 6 to 12 months will go a long way toward deciding the outcome for next years elections too.

The electorate is very fickle. If they believe we're going in the right direction with the economy, they're not as likely to fire the people in charge.

It's still about the economy. It always has been.

I have no words.

It's not going to matter.





We're flatlining; awaiting the Goths and Vandals of the south to kick in the door...

The Representative Republic is dead.

This is Social Democracy under the reign of the Elites. Next comes the tyranny of the Elites, then the strong man.

"One of the little sectrets about political reporters is that we all bet on political races. I make money betting on political races. And the reason I'm successful at it is that I never put any money down prior to six weeks before election day. If you meet anyone who claims they can predict the outcome of an election any earlier than that, you know you're looking at a blue-bellied nincompoop."

How many Democrat congressmen will lose their seats in November?

They all should ... after the scams they've been pulling on the American taxpayers. Maybe it's time they will learn the meaning of the word constituents. They will as they get thrown under the bus by this administration.

Who did they think would take the fall for voting as pressured, rather than as their constituents demanded?

 

[landslider2000]

Whatever one might think of health care "reform," the way to approach it would not be to ram it down the throats of the American people by voting in the middle of the night, at Christmas, in a blizzard, along purely partisan lines, on a bill which very few senators have even had a chance to read.

 

[KingOrfeo]

You've got your parties ass-backwards.

You are most ignorant. For history and details on the conservative movement's think-tanks, organizations, etc., see The Right Nation: Conservative Power in America, by (conservative) British journalists Adrian Wooldridge and John Mickelthwait. For more on the media outlets in particular, see The Republican Noise Machine: Right-Wing Media and How It Corrupts Democracy, by David Brock. In breadths and depth of organization, the left/liberal side really has nothing to compare.

*sigh* MeeMie, the political center-of-gravity of the constituents is to the left of the Congresscritters, not the right.

That dumb-looking bird in your avatar -- not's not just some random pic, is it? That's actually you. Interesting.

Careful what you wish for. There will not be a right-wing revolution in America in your lifetime.

Actually, I don't think there's anything in Machiavelli about social democracy. Nor about a progression from oligarchy to tyranny, nor from democracy to tyranny. Perhaps you are thinking of Aristotle.

*sigh* I wish I could believe you this time, miles, I really do.

It will take a lot to arouse a slumbering mass who know more about Survivor than Congress...

Go back and fact check me. You'll be surprised.

Could be -- I haven't read The Discourses.
