That's precisely why there was a "GOP wave" in 2010. To stop the trajectory of this President's policies.

Why is that hard for liberals to understand?

Of course the fact that the GOP won the House based on a campaign entirely dedicated to "creating jobs," and then spent the entire two years looking for jobs in women's vaginas, has NOTHING to do with said ineffectiveness ...

The party of HELL NO double down on their strategy. Did not work. Poll after poll shows that folks blame GOP the most for our broken gov't.

Gee, ever think that "that's what happens when you only put forward bills that have 'no chance' of passing the Senate - let alone be signed by the President"?

The House simply didn't put forward realistic bills because they were not COMPROMISE bills. You can't create a bill that reflects just the GOP point of view and expect a Democratically controlled Senate to approve it.

And yet when it came it down to it, apparently the people didn't APPRECIATE it did they?

Not only was Obama RE-ELECTED, Congresses' approval rating - which was ALREADY in the toilet, went EVEN LOWER after the GOP took control of the House.

The same people let the GOP keep control of the House. In other words, American's love divided government, no matter what a poll says. I firmly believe that when the undecided voters became convinced that the GOP would keep control of the House, they became more comfortable with Barack Obama as President and voted accordingly.

Divided government is a longstanding American principle.

Divided government is a longstanding American principle. This election is NO different.

I thought their wave was the expected counter movement to progress. But just like all waves it dissipated once it hit rock [eight years of Obama].
