The results were not surprising during these Midterm elections. Dems didn't show up to vote and Dem candidates foolishly distanced themselves from our great President Obama. Red states favored the GOP candidates. Pubs were busy gerrymandering, suppressing the vote, and so forth. The result was predictable.
So, as expected, we have a lame duck Congress controlled by Pubs for two years. More Republican nonsense will be on display than just the crap that was confined to the House. Now the world gets to laugh at BOTH Houses of Congress. The ideology of the Pubs still reeks, as the stench of Bush still remains. Pubs have not shown that they have any solutions to the problems which plague this country, problems they either created or continue to make worse.
President Obama has veto power over the Republican crap that will come out of Congress and Pubs in Congress can't override that veto by themselves.
2016 will see major changes in Congress overwhelmingly favoring Dems. A Democrat will succeed President Obama, and during that President's two terms, the Supreme Court will see a shift to the more enlightened Left as one of those hapless Right-wingers on the Court leaves.
The dems are a joke and I'd be embarrassed to say I was a republican, even though I tend to agree with them more on fiscal matters.
What's my take from the night?
Who cares. Didn't vote, and from what I see the dems deserved to get pounded out there.
I'm a free agent now.
I was an Independent for 30 years. Want to know what the problem with that is? In the majority of states, you cannot vote in a PRIMARY. That means that other people will pick the candidates running for office, but you can't.

Keep the faith.
"Foolishly distanced themselves?" It didn't matter, because they were solidly in his camp, and everybody knows it. Even Obama said, not to worry, they were with him! What an ass!
You people can make excuses all you want, but that's all they are. Sour grapes much?
This will hardly be a "lame duck" Congress. Do you think Americans are so fickle? Exit polls confirm what other polls were showing leading up to the election: Americans do not like the direction the country has been headed under Democrat control.
The "Road to Serfdom" has been barricaded: "Road Closed" And, it isn't likely to be reopened in 2016.
Lick your wounds and GET OVER IT!
I have a feeling the "Progressives" are going to be powerless for a very long time. Hopefully many decades.

Please provide evidence of this rather scurrilous claim? Where did Republicans suppress the vote? Have not heard even one peep about this outside standard conspiracy theory rhetoric. By all means, explain.
If you are an "independent", then you are a Democrat.
The independents and third parties only siphon off from the Republican.

Any excuse will do, right?
