Republicans: Hypocrites - Democrats: Buh-bye Dept of Homeland Security

What was President Obama running for in 2014? I must have missed that on the ballot.

Hey, where have you been? I'm sure someone has missed your ignorant attempts at insults.

Nah, probably not.

Let us know when you have something to add. Send up a flare or something.

It is true that a majority of the voters are alleged to have voted to return him to office but, in Nov. last year, an even bigger majority voted for people who promised to try to undo some of the damage he has done and is continuing to do. As part of those checks and balances, the H of R can defund everything he tries to get away with now.

Of course, two years from now, unless Obama has made himself Dictator for Life or some such thing, the Congress and newly elected president will be able to conduct a total cleanup of his messes.

A greater majority of Republican voters in 2014 than Democrat voters in 2012?

Please show your work.

Yes. The GOP got 52% of the popular vote in house races in 2014 and Obama received 51.1% o the popular vote in 2012.

The first figure there might be understated because the site is obviously staunchly pro-Democrat.

Of course, your analysis conveniently overlooks the point that the successful conservative "block the vote" initiative drove voter turnout in 2014 to its lowest level in 72 years (36.4% of registered voters, versus 58% turnout in 2012).

The fact that Republicans only managed to get 52% of the vote in 2014, when the demographic overwhelmingly skewed to the bitter clinger white retiree demographic, shows how deeply unpopular the conservative agenda is with most Americans.

But hai, keep on insisting that President Obama should obey the "mandate" of your shrill vocal minority...

All I'm saying is that GOP candidates for the House won a bigger majority of the votes that were cast than Obama got in 2012. I'm not analyzing anything; I'm just responding to Phrodeau's challenge.

A couple things I hope you realize: The voter turnout is always higher in a presidential year than when there is no presidential election and every seat in the House is on the ballot during general elections. What that latter fact means is that a considerable majority of American voters cast their ballot for the GOP candidate rather than the Dem. one. No matter how you try to explain away that fact, you can't do it.

52% is not a minority, and is a larger majority than 51.1%.

and Obama and Bush

Obama is an okay president and in my thought about the same as Bush. Both presidents worked hard for America and deserve the support of the nation. Regardless, we should all support our president no matter the party and love our country. With this thought it will be a better place. Our divisions and criticisms make us weaker and not stronger in the world. I love america and Obama and Bush.

51.1% of 129,000,000 = 65,900,000
52% of 81,700,000 = 42,500,000

Larger majority, eh?

Math is HARD..

 

[Sean Renaud]

You two know Boxlicker is correct right? Mostly cus the hobbit phrased the question poorly but that's not on Boxy. 100% of 10 people is a bigger majority than 51% of 10 million even if the sheer numbers aren't.

The fact that we all know the Republicans won because libs stayed home, and really unless we dedicate to a year round get out the vote campaign and explain that no matter what the fuck happens we need to keep the same party in power and strongly for more than two years unless we think that paralysis is a good thing. I'm close to the point of voting R just so people can see the results.
