They just keep making excuses and ignore the truth.
No kidding, they're still trying to spin another history beating as a victory and claim the country still leans left. Liberals are clearly totally out of touch with reality.

I think somebody doesn't follow politics very much.

Not 1 single thing you claim is true.

Just another low information voter.

UM-HMM,we'll see.

The approval rating for Congress is only 22%!

What do you think it will be after 2 more years of their crap? All Republicans can do is spew their vitriol at the opposition,they never have a better plan! Hate-mongering is their ONLY game!

Congress approval rating is a bogus stat. I don't know how someone can put all congress critters into one basket and express either approval or disapproval. They have such divergent views, after all.

If someone approves of Nancy Pelosi then he/she would probably disapprove of, say, Ted Cruz. Now suppose you ask that same person whether they approve of the set (Nancy Pelosi, Ted Cruz). How are they supposed to respond? The question is nonsensical.

The real way to measure congressional approval is the incumbent reelection rate. This year 20 incumbents lost their jobs by either losing their primaries or being defeated on Nov 4. 20 out of 535 total translates to a 96.3% approval rating.

"The approval rating for Congress is only 22%! "

You DO understand that "Congress" INCLUDES the dems?

"All Republicans can do is spew their vitriol at the opposition,"

Isn't that EXACTLY what YOU are doing?

"Hate-mongering is their ONLY game!"

Let me see. "Repubs HATE women."

"Repubs HATE blacks"

"Repubs HATE the poor"

"Repubs want to throw granny off the cliff"

Etc., etc., etc.

I think I see hypocrisy!

But, you DO describe liberals to a T!

The GOP has proven that all those things said about them are true,except they are 'closet homo huggers'!
The Log Cabin Republicans (LCR) is an organization that works within the Republican Party to advocate equal rights for gays and lesbians in the United States.

So they are not against homos like they pretend... while they have their evangelical Christian DIGUISE on!

Actually I think just the opposite.

I think the shilling they gave Obama, actually pissed off more individuals than helped. If the administration was held responsible for their policies rather than passing the buck, then I dont think people would dislike Obama as much as they do.

The tuning out I think allowed them to get away with things they might not have tried.

We have seen this in the House for 4 years now. The only thing that passes there is right wing strawmen that will not get cloture in the senate.

I hate to brake it to ya ponderosa, but your buddy Harry Reid used the "nuclear option" and changed the senate rules on cloture, Now that Reid has opened up the can of worms, there's no reason the repub's can't do the same.
Obama's going to have to veto the will of the people, and the Dems are going to have some tough decisions to make

Whats good for the goose.........
