Why wont someone just come out and say it?

[ThomWV]

We're fucked, just plain fucked. With the economy in the shape it is the return of Republicans to power is exactly the same thing as kicking a starving man in the balls.

[ananda]

1. The question is..

.. why did the fuckees vote Reep?

[Lost4words]

26. cause the dems did nothing in two years, thats why

[Skidmore]

39. That is complete and utter bullshit...

[johnnie]

2. No more fucked than normal

It's not doomsday.

[ThomWV]

3. Rand Paul got elected, you call that normal?

[w8liftinglady]

5. That is devastating..I saw the same thing happen here

My partner's county...with the mean salary of 31K/Year...went overwhelmingly Republican...again,the soulless bastards hiding behind a cross and a flag

[Erose999]

31. Jim DeMint gets elected every term and he's just as bad as Paulbot 2.0. The world keeps on turning.

[Lost4words]

4. pretty much the same as the last two years, nothing has changed

what did you expect? I mean really??

[marmar]

6. Last two? Try last 30.

[Lost4words]

8. you are correct, I had hoped that that cycle would have been broken

by our last chance president who I thought offered real hope I fell for clintons bullshit as well, what a fool I must be.

[Ryano42]

7. Yup, I'm convinced now. SCREWN!

I give up. Thank FSM above I have lots of weapons and ammo.

11. if they address the debt, I will be happy

The tone of many voters yesterday was, IMO, a good one. They were concerned about spending. However, most of those elected have proven they are not the fiscal conservatives they claim to be. Dan Coates will likely just toss around tax breaks to businesses. If we elected a group of Republicans that understood the risks of our massive debt and its influence on the international debt market, we would be okay. However, I believe only Rand Paul understands that, and he has many other <i> extreme </i> issues that I am concerned with.

[SalviaBlue]

36. Cons never address debt.

Historically republiCons add to debt, Dems lower it.

[SalviaBlue]

37. Cons never address debt.

Historically republiCons add to debt, Dems lower it.

[Bonhomme Richard]

9. That's actually the good news because everyone will be fucked and..

maybe it will be the end of republicans.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

19. If 'everyone' didn't learn that lesson after bu$hit then they never will. n/t

[LawnLover]

10. Oh, the doom and gloom

I understand that people are upset, but come on, folks. We've seen much darker days. Has everyone forgotten the previous administration and Congresses? Has everyone forgotten what Clinton managed to do with a COMPLETELY Republican Congress?

The Republicans are NOT back in power. They have the House. The House. That's it. And they will fuck things up so badly that Obama is assured a second term.

All this sturm und drang is getting tiring.

[LawnLover]

25. So vote in a Republican? That makes a lot of sense... nt.

[dionysus]

28. .

:rofl:

[Lost4words]

22. go take a nap if you cant take it

[LawnLover]

29. I slept well last night, thank you

All I could think was how much worse this could have been. All things considered -- and the way the forecasts were -- we came out of this much better than most people anticipated.

[treestar]

12. Too much drama

They only got one house.

[Barack_America]

14. You might check the governorships and state Houses. nt

[treestar]

16. Well big deal, that's the problem of each state

States run their governments individually.

[Barack_America]

34. States implement and shape many federally-funded programs.

You are familiar with Medicaid?

[treestar]

38. States have to follow federal rules on that

They may have some leeway, as written into the statutes. But a Republican run state can't shut down Medicaid.

[Lost4words]

24. New Mexico gets Susanna Martinez pure puke, oh boy! nt

[IndyPragmatist]

15. spending starts in the house

"They only got one house."

Yes, but spending originates in the House, so it is a pretty big deal.

[treestar]

18. Still, even so, we still have the Senate and the WH.

So the Rs can't just do whatever they want. The OP seems like that.

[thereismore]

13. We have a lot to be happy about. It's not the end times. And the anti-government freaks

can't govern anyway. In two years people will be just as angry at the baggers as they were at "the Washington".

[HopeHoops]

17. OH BULLSHIT! I thought we were fucked when THE SHRUB got elected - wait.

Never mind. We were fucked then. I'll shut up now.

[guitar man]

20. It's nothing new

I graduated high school in 1982 in the midst of Reaganomics, so I've been pretty much fucked my entire adult life.I guess I'm just used to it by now. :crazy:

[Democat]

27. Every two years we hear that the world is ending from one party or the other.

But it doesn't.

We lived through eight years of Bush.

[tjwash]

30. Yeah yeah...the world was supposed to end 4 years ago according to the righties

Get over yourself...its gonna be more status-quo, thats all.

[DainBramaged]

32. We're fucked!

there ya go.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

33. I QUIT!...I heard Harry say we are ready to compromise...

he still doesn't get it....wtf?!?

the reason we lost is because of all this fucking "reaching out and compromising" on every bill!

stick a fucking fork in me!

[hunter]

35. California pokes a stick in the eye of the Republican fuckedness.

So I'm not feeling too bad this morning.
