We re-elected a lot of incumbants.

IIRC, in Florida for example, only one incumbent congressman was defeated, and all higher offices were re-elected.

This wasn't a referendum against Washington, or against GOP incumbents, or other straw men.

This was a referendum against Obama, and Obamunists, and Obamamites, and the purge isn't over.

Watch for some resignations and party switching between now and 2016.

What are they thinking?


The problem is that Obamabots haven't been thinking.

They make excuses for his lies and broken promises and regurgitate propaganda. The result is that it encouraged Obama to lie and break more promises as he knew his base would not hold him accountable and this has led to his continual failure.

Obamabots should be thinking that they caused Obama's downfall, by refusing to hold him accountable for anything.

Obama is still there for the next two years...referendum or not. And he still has inkpens last I checked.

For the millionth time, calm down.

I'm also thinking that he should use that pen sparingly, but definitely when necessary.

I'm also thinking that you folks need to calm down.
Hmm, you sound pretty rational for an Obamabot. Are you satisfied with Obama's performance? If yes, do you think his policy positions have led to the crushing defeat in the last election? If no, what should he have done differently?

It doesnt matter what Obama did in these 6 years. People HATE him, and when you are hated people will lie to themselves about how bad things are in order to justify their hate.

The economy is much better than it was in 2009. Gas is low as hell right now, employment is improving... yet people act like this country is going down the tubes.

So do you want your Dear Leader to veto everything that's submitted or do you want to see Obama compromise with the Congress to get things done?

Has Dear Leader met your expectations?

I'm not sure what Obama will do. He could learn much by looking at what Reagan and Clinton did to compromise with a Congress of the opposing party to get things done....will he learn from them or is he too much an ideologue that wants to destroy the 50% that have an opposing view?

Are you called a bushbot if you voted for bush. And wasn't he a dear leader with some. So silly

I'm thinking that the only elections Obama has lost are the midterms that he isn't running in...

No, people with common sense do attach themselves to any politician like bots did with Obama. It is truly pathetic. The documentaries will be hilarious to watch.

What are the O-nuts thinking? They actually think they won, even though they were handed yet another historic beating.

Republicans win the Senate by sounding like Democrats: America is moving toward the left.

A Victory for the Left
Chin up, Democrats. Republicans may have won the Senate, but the country is headed your way.
Denial much?

And then there's the rabid frothing from liberal "clebs"
