That takes care of the Democrats. Now the Republicans have to get their act together. (house seat, Iraq)

Mitt Romney governed as a liberal- much like Arnold in California. Romney passed the state version that Obama's health care was based on.

Republicans had better get their acts together FAST, and present a good national platform of reducing SPENDING, reducing taxes, and reducing regulation. That first one is quite different from what they did in the 2000's, though they're good for the other two.

If they don't get their acts together, then there won't be much point in being a member of the Republican party.

Ball's in your court, Republicans.

Isn't the defense budget and the Wars going to get in the way of reducing spending - you do know 42 cents of every dollar of US discretionary spending goes to defense don't you.

All I can say is if they decide to just drown it in bureaucrat instead of dealing with the problem, people are going to have to realize how throughly they bent themselves over the table and screwed themselves. It will be a slow motion Darwin award. I don't care either way, as one way the place I work will have more paying patients...the other way I pay less taxes and watch as those who rabbled for the Tea Party realize they were tools for the backers instead of helping themselves. Win freaking win baby.

What is it with you people.

Using the party of no just tells me you are not paying attention or listening to hate Amerikka radio way to much.

The rep CANNOT stop anything, nothing, nadda.

Your party has FAILED to deliver and you need to hold them accountable.

Wake up please! DEMS HAVE/HAD A SUPER MAJORITY until tonight!

Your party is now the party of NO. Because the majority of Americans are saying NO the the liberals.

Was that the same for the other Republican Governors going back to 1991? - just curious. They had 4 in a row up until 2007. Doesn't sound like a "liberal state" to me, based on that

Too late, it's already been flushed (after Obama wiped his s****y backside with the gullible sheeple who voted for him).

Sorry but I must disappoint once again, not even the GOP is predicting such gains in power, but hey keep believing.
Reduce taxes for whom, mine never went up, oh, you mean for the fat cats, yes the Republican way.
Yes, let's hear the plans from the Repubs, it would be an excellent change of pace from the continual whining we have been getting so far. Hope they are more productive than they were when they had a majority for six years under Bush, you do know people still remember how well things went under the Repubs, I doubt they will shifting to the GOP in droves no matter how much some may wish it.

I want to think that way but this shows me that people dont remember. They went out and gave it all back to the fox in the hen house. Some people just want republicans to stall everything I guess. I have HC anyone who does not your screwed and if you stood on the sidelines and let the fatcat tea party just use lie after lie and never stand up to them then I guess you deserve it. Anyway Ill just advise anyone around me to go to the ER if you have a cold and gets some free meds. The current sytem will collaspe soon enough I just hope the tea party and scott brown voters suffer most they deserve it most

Im very disappointed in the American people right now. We are our own worst enemy

[Speedaddicted]

THis is the exact reason why this country is going down the tubes. Partison bulls@$t like this! Both parties are thieves liars and crooks. As some point we need someone to take care of the people. This president has yet to show he can deliver, and the previous one had two terms and he proved he was a bumbling idiot too. Neither republicans or demorcrats have ANYTHING to be proud of at this point. Shut up and fix the problem instead of name calling and finger pointing.

As a direct comment to anyone who complains, if you dont have a solution S T F U !

I know how happy you are so I want to add to it. I and a large percentage of the Obama voters around me have HC. This is not going to take that away today. The system will collaspe but that is ok because sickness as much as you probably dont like to think so hits tea party members too. All the rules will still apply to them also. Try this next time you get sick ask your ins company for the tea party discount

Thank God.

Now, will Obama, Reid, and Pelosi keep hammering away, trying to pass uber-National-Socialist legislation, and so trash the Democrat party for the next election? If they do, might Republicans gain majorities in the House and Senate in November.

i agree with you and celebrate the moment but the republicans are still on the ropes. The thing that is different this AM is the Dem's will now have to work with the republicans to get an agenda done. Hopefully now we can come up with health reform that makes sense.
the dems will now have to either continue to try to go with their extreme left wing agenda which if they do, they will go down in flames, or conme up with a centrist agenda that might really slow spending and create real jobs.

YOU HIT IT!!! I was going to post an almost exact locker room speech to the GOP! Now, Mr. McConnell (Senate Min. Leader), Now Mr. Boehner (HR Minority Leader), and Mr. Michael Steele (RNC Chairman), the ball truly is in your court. Now, members of the Tea Party (me too), we must expect and encourage our governments, whether a Home Owner's/Condo/Apt Association to the United States Congress, President, and Supreme Court, to understand that power in America flows up from the people not over the people. We must live and govern so that everybody wins!
