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.
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.
great going idiots!
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)
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.
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.
It’s like saying “I only ate that 7-alarm chili because I wanted to clean my system out. I didn’t expect I’d get heartburn, too!”
Duh...you get what you vote for
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!
I do not think the win was that big.
I expect there will be some buyers remorse from a few honest reporters left out there, and there will certainly be buyers remorse from the uninformed public.
I detected a hint of buyers remorse on election night from the lame scream media...they didn't seem overjoyed....it was more like “Oh my gosh, what have we done?”
I think it was starting to hit them the last few weeks.
Aside from the Mike Church comments that McCain was the same as Obama in many cases and THAT was the problem, here is what I think the problem was:
1. Elderly fear of Social Security/Medicare reductions. Obama promised freebies, but McCain never could make the message that they are not sustainable.
2. The MTV youth came out in droves to vote for Obama. The majority of youth votes are ignorant of economics, the perils of big government and socialism. They have no idea of history, thanks to our lousy school system (which teaches sports and how-to-get along instead of traditional academics). McCain COULD have explained how there will be fewer jobs under Obama because of his tax and trade poliices, but he didn’t. McCain was supporting the same lie that Obama gave — we can return jobs to the USA. THAT IS A LIE. LABOR COSTS TOO MUCH AND THERE ARE TOO MANY ENVIRONMENTAL RESTRICTIONS AND COSTS. So, taxpayers have to make huge subsidies to UNION corporations to produce inefficient goods.
What a totally bungled message by McCain. Obama promised jobs, free healthcare, bailouts, etc. Hard to compete with UNLESS you got back to the Reagan Revolution.

Look, everybody; instead of bitching about how stupid swing voters are, let’s get organized on the issues for 2010. This looks like a set up for a repeat of 1994.
Well, big government is what they are going to get-and like it!
Look. The Republican/GWB two election disaster (06+08) could not be halted by claiming that democrats will give us big government because we sat by and held our noses when GWB and friends created the biggest fed government in the history of the USA. Wake up folks, it was a disaster.
What is new is Democrats will give us a controlling intruding government. Obama model is Maryland, in 2007 when democrats took over entire MD state government due to GWB hatred , they taxed us with largest increase in state history, taxed energy (after promising us low cost energy, sound familiar??) then told us we can get a few bucks back (less than $100 per year) if the state/BGE can contol our thermostat remotely. Not kidding! It’s on BGEs website. Thanks GWB, thanks again, again!
