If I get one vanity this is it. Left wing approaches are doomed to failure. They threaten our prosperity and our very lives. This is based on history and common sense. The enemy of a successful America is not a political party. It is wrong headed leftist thinking.
Americans are generally conservative and polls always show they do not want to be labeled as liberals. But "we" allowed one of the dominant political parties to become radically left wing, and we treated them with courtesy and credibility all the way. The democrat party harbors representatives who are so Marxist and so offensive that the American people should have demanded a purge before returning democrats to power. Many of those extremists will now hold powerful positions. If there is a failure by republicans, it has always been a failure to call the leftists out loudly by name, to embarrass them for their radical viewpoints. Instead, they are largely ignored and treated like colleagues for a variety of reasons - all political and all bad for America.
We tolerate the democrat marxists because they are in safe democrat districts and we don't devote resources to defeat them. They represent minorities who don't vote for us anyway, so we ignore them. We are afraid to confront some because they are minorities. To some extent we like having radical democrats, because we think that will help republicans get elected in more moderate districts.
But there was going to be the day when democrats returned to power. And that day is dangerous because the democrat party became a leftist party. If they were conservatives or even moderates they would not threaten our security or economy to this degree. But they do.
So don't eat our own, don't attack our president who certainly is not a leftist. Attack leftist ideology, insist that republicans get tougher in the battle of ideas. Demand that leaders recognize the ultimate objective is our lives, fortunes and sacred honor. It is not a political chess game. When democrats say the American people want to raise our taxes or weaken our security and abandon our allies - demand that our leaders say "Like Hell!" And that they ridicule leftism as an offensive prescription for disaster.
Democrats won by running some more conservative candidates in key races, and hiding their liberal leadership. Let's make sure we remind them that the election was NOT about change from conservative to liberal.
As we all know, the republican party harbors some incredibly stupid liberal Senators. The problem is the democrats have far more of them. Encourage republican conservatives to stand up to them. Force the democrats and republicans to become more conservative. If you just throw out the Rinos the left wing democrats will fill the void.
Don't ever lose heart and abandon this country to the leftists. They are despicable and they will get you or your children killed.
Support the president, thank God for him at this moment. Just remind him that America is a conservative nation. Let's make sure "liberal" and "left wing" remain dirty words.
ping with a smile.....
Exactly!
If I can amend your vanity's title, it would be "Please direct your anger and efforts against those who did not vote Republican in yesterday's election. This would include stay at home voters and libiotarians. I think we can rightly be angry at both for costing us the Senate for sure and maybe the House, endangering our military and nation as a result.
Clean our house first then we'll take care of our enemy outside our house. We have alot of trash to throw out.
It is ironic that they want to raise the minimum wage and then look the other way as employers continue to hire illegal workers who work below minimum wage.
Bet they don't say "America threw a temper tantrum" last night.
If anything at least the media will be more optimistic about the future now that Democrats have Congress. Heck, Clinton won and before he was even sworn in the media did a 180 on their reporting on the economy ("things aren't as bad as we once thought").
"Why the (bad word) should I support a President who is willing to out and out destroy this country???????????"
Don't you know?? Because he's a Republican!!

That the new Deocrats do not move too fast with their socialist agenda in the coming months will be because they want to win the White House in two years. If they do, then look out.
This is really what you think?
So, do you think a bunch of very conservative people voted for Democrats just to teach the Republicans a lesson, or do you think there are just that many more Democrats in this country than there are Republicans?
If someone claims to be very conservative but voted for a Democrat, then I hope they get what they have coming to them during the next few years. They deserve every nasty thing the liberals can do to them.
If there are really that many more Democrats than Republicans, then going even more conservative in their policies certainly wasn't going to help the Republicans win anything.
I can't agree. It was the constant barrage of bashing from the left that caused this, lies and more lies. Blame whom you will, but truth is truth.
To borrow a phrase, I can't tell the difference between a Democrat and third party voter these days.
If we had the foresight to teach them a lesson during the primaries, maybe we would still hold both houses today. I didn't take part because I'm non-affiliated. As soon as I can, I'm registering as a Republican. Not just because I always vote a straight Republican ticket, but because I can't do anything from the sidelines before the election without being part of the party. Right now North Carolina is a mess run by the Democrats. Hopefully it will get better in the near future.
Election is over. US has now the liberal leftists in power at the House and possibly the Senate. Woe to the country!

Couldn't agree more. felt like the Republicans stabbed us in the back here in TX. Don't think the rest of the country knows just how bad it is. Wages being driven down. Legitimate contractors run out of business because they chose to obey the law. Hospitals closing left and right. Over crowded schools consisting of an underclass that doesn't even read or write in their own language. A poplace awash in drugs and gangs and soaring crime. Mega highways to nowhere except to facilitate the drug trade. A pox on all their houses. Rep. and Dems alike. We're now on our own.
It's more than ironic -- it's hypocritical. But that's all I expect from the Dimocrats (and they always deliver).
