Let this be a reminder to Mr. Krugman & Obama, that the bait & switch tactic to make a sale, can only be played a limited number of times, before even the stupidest people catch on.

Your "one man war" on the elderly is relentless, yet amusing.
You will eventually become one of those you despise.
Unless you don't.

This was one of the most gratifying election cycles of my life, not just because the GOP took the Senate, but because of the emergence of so many young conservative voices like Mia Love, Elise Stefanik, and Joni Ernst. I would have liked to have seen Erika Harold representing the IL 13th district but she's only 34, so I have a feeling she will not be going away.

I can't leave out the fact that Nikki Haley in SC obliterated her slime ball democratic opponent 56-41.

Its a bs load and we rejected it.
Liberals are bad businessmen?, Andrew Carnegie committed his vast fortune to something called the Carnegie Foundation which did Liberal things like build libraries, concert halls, extend grants to scholars and Founded what is now Carnegie Mellon University. John D. Rockefeller and Henry Ford did something similar with their Rockefeller and Ford Foundations. One of the most prestigious grants and Fellowships m in liberal academia was the legacy of Alfred P. Sloane who created General Motors. He also created the Alfred P. Sloane Foundation. Was all this liberalism and progressivism on their parts the result of a guilty conscience and a desire to save their souls and clense their reputations by doing good works?

This form of Liberalism is alive and well in Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, Warren Buffet and Bill Allen who I've heard are really good businessman.

This is the arrogance of liberals. They truely believe that somehow they, and they alone, are "enlightened" and understand, with precise clarity, what is factual and correct in the world.

Liberalism, being based in totalitarian thought, dismisses the average citizen as being insignificant or of lower intellect, thus the "need" for the enlightened class to rule over them.

These elections were a rejection of Obama and his policies. Why?

1. 23% decline in incomes
2. 50 million on foodstamps
3. record number of citizens living in poverty
4. record number of unemployed citizens


Somehow, the average person (on their knees) does not appreciate the wonderful "benefits" of liberalism. Wake up- failed policies which deliver economic misery to the balance of the population trumps bs issues like "global warming", gay marriage, and "war on women".

Who is the idiot? Apparently being "right", in the mind of a liberal, means accepting lower standards of living and liking it, just as the master commands.

Perhaps Americans were simply tired of all of the lies, numerous scandals and race baiting that has taken place with this administration. Not to mention, I think people were sick of the BS PC propaganda that a certain segment of the population hates minorities, hates gays, hates women...ect... Americans simply weren't buying it anymore. Now it is up to the republicans to practice what they preach in reducing the size of the government. Otherwise they're no better than the democrats.
