What you didn't notice was the youthfulness that was voted into the Republican Party. Republicans see the change needed, while Dems are relying on the same ole' lines....."abortion and war on women"....... the left won't get far with just these issues.

Over the next two years, we'll see what Republicans really are, and the failure to be like Dems, will spell suicide for the Pubs. The country is headed Left.

Republicans win the Senate by sounding like Democrats: America is moving toward the left.
If they're in free fall, then the dems must be in horrible trouble. The free fallers just spanked them.

I'll be sure to come back here when the GOP loses the Presidency (again) and the Senate in 2016.

I'm betting the President and the Democrats will sign off on everything Mitch sends up the flagpole as long as it has a GOP stamp on it.
Did you not watch the press conference of The One yesterday? He said he would "consider" all bills sent to him, but pass only those that agreed with his current policies. The same policies that just got him a butt whipping across the nation. I'm betting that he is already looking around to find who to blame when he just "has" to veto all those bills.

We will now see who the true obstructionist is.

The bills that the American people will expect to be passed will have to be so full of pork their intent will be hardly noticeable. The challenge for those in control is will the American people feel the effect of a; jobs bill, trade bill, immigration reform, tax reform. No more fake votes to repeal the ACA, collecting a check and calling it a day.
Actually, now the electorate will see who it is who has the ideas and who it is killing those ideas.

Think hard, I am sure that you can figure it out.

It's all part of the dance, you know it's all just a farce?

Glad to hear that you're happy we're "dying off," but...

The wisdom of age generally brings conservatism.
Everyone is getting older. Get used to it.

Old conservatives will die off and be replaced
by former liberals who have come to their senses.

As one of those Oregon voters, I can tell you-being very left doesnt mean we believe illegal immigration is OK. Im not sure why democrat representative think this to be honest, I suspect the majority of their base is against it, the only thing I can think of is that business interests are involved.
