Well, now is a helluva time to make that be known. Should have thought of that on Tuesday.

If that’s the case, swing voters must be the biggest morons on the planet.
To: RobinMasters
Swing voters are even dumber than I thought then. Don’t want big government but elect a marxist who promises the biggest expansion of government in US history? Some people are too stupid to vote.

Well they certainly have an odd way of making their sentiments known.

I understand “throwing the bums out,” but McCain, for all his faults wasn’t one of them. So, instead we get worse bums than the ones thrown out.

I knew we were in trouble the minute the poll came out before the election that said that something like 35% of the American people still thought the Republicans were controlling Congress....(eye roll)

The MSM won this election. They spent 8 years telling people that the Republicans were the problem. Therefore, in 2006 and 2008, we had "throw the bums out" elections.
Now the Demcrats are in charge. The MSM will spend the next 4-8 years saying that everthing needs to change and we all need to sacrifice.
I, for one, think that the Swing Voters will come to believe this. That's why they are sheeple.
To: Slapshot68
It's hard to blame swing voters for not being able to tell the difference between Democratic ultra super colossal mega government and Republican ultra super almost as colossal mega government.
I sometimes (Medicare part D, the Paulson plan) have a hard time myself, and I haven't voted Democrat for a national office in 30 years of voting.

"I knew we were in trouble the minute the poll came out before the election that said that something like 35% of the American people still thought the Republicans were controlling Congress...." I knew we were in trouble when Clinton looked the American people in the face, admitted to smoking marijuana, but denied inhaling...and people accepted that explanation.

The only thing that makes sense is that these clymers figure politicians lie so they expect Chairman Hussein won’t do what he promised. Einstein type logic right there.

Barack Obama and congressional Democrats won big on Tuesday night, but they should not mistake their victory for a big-government mandate. Oh, I'm sure they won't. No. Not at all.

I thought we had this election in 2006!
Seriously, do these voters think they were being cute? Voting for Obama to punish the Republicans? Actually, I know of one person who did exactly that!
