Republicans take over the House, Dems hold the Senate.

Oh, man. This is kind of exciting yet stupid to watch.
The US will never be happy with any party. Who's up for some anarchy?

[robocop656]

Yeah, fuck politics. :uzi: :uzi:

[pneumonia]

Yes, their never happy with their parties. But what is worse the Reps are beginning to be more and more religious.

IT'S SO STUPID!

Maybe the press in Poland is wrong, but I've read about a guy who had a speech on Madison Square Garden (a radio journalist) in front of I guess 30.000 people who said that God told him to do sth and his only words was "Obama is betrayer" and "We must rescue USA". God told him?? Really?? Next Jesus??
I don't want to insult USA, they have a lot wonderful people, good companies (Google) and of course musicians, but in my view everything is going worse...

-Obama was elected with big enthusiasm, but he has big problems to do anything, because congresmen are being lobbied, corrupted and of course they are selfish. Each congresman has to win his election, though he must be a populist, so those Dems from Republic states must behave like a Rep.
-Statistically religions are being more and more important in politics which in normal countries (Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia, etc) is unbelievable. Even Obama has to declare 1000x a week that he believes in God.
-Americans still think that they are the best nation, so all politics say "We must raise the honour of USA", etc...
-USA have a big dept and as Obama want to raise the taxes for the richest, Reps have no idea, what to do with this dept.

I wish USA the best, but this famous American Democracy is getting pathologic. In USA elections, there is no debate, just symbols: "Betrayer", "Honour", "Patriot", "God".

I think changing a main party every 2 years is a very bad idea

MSLSD's Chris Matthews blew a gasket last night as his face turned purple while arguing with U.S. Rep Michelle Bachmann (R-MN), after she asked if he still had that "tingly" feeling from 2008. He responded by saying she was "hypnotized", and then called her a "moron".

The commentators then go on to whine when Bachmann points out how MSLSD's ratings are in the tank- which when compared to Fox News, they actually are! What a crybaby!


Hahahahahahahaha! Pure comic genius!

Archie is still alive and well in my Father who never misses a day of Glenn Beck.

Well, now we got more years of infighting in Congress and more stalemates, and less jobs and contentment among the masses. That's just great.


Let's hope religion does not get mingled up in politics too much because that is the worse thing that could happen. That's what led to the bloody Crusades and Inquisitions so long ago. When blind faith is at the root of anything there usually is chaos. The only ruler a person should have is reason. (I sound like author Terry Goodkind here but, it makes sense)

Anyway, this Repuke victory scared the hell outta me but at least now people will leave poor Nancy Pelosi alone. Who is the right-wing gonna scapegoat now?

[Hubble86]

I have, in my humble way, calculated out that the two parties should change symbols with each other. The stubborn always no-saying donkey would suit the republicans more and the big, in-sensible, halfblind elephanrt could be something for the democrats. Sorry, just a thougt from an european calculator...

[Frederic Chopin]

Here's something that should put that "tingly" feeling back into his leg!

OH YES!!

[AAAAAAAAAA]

The problem is that the states have no real political power anymore.
Because of the strong central government, half the population is guaranteed to be dissatisfied with the political leadership at any given time. This is totally absurd, since self-governance is the principle that created the USA in the first place.

Just imagine: people who support high taxes, abortion, and public healthcare live in one state, and people who disagree with these principles can live elsewhere. No arguments or fights!

I'm also not crazy about political parties.

Important issues should be decided on an individual basis, rather than lumped together under a political platform. If you agree with every Republican or Democratic principle, you're not really thinking on your own.

Besides, what kind of party doesn't have beer?

[NeonVomit]

I like how this isn't going to make any difference to anything.

Also, despite AAAAAAAAAA's tenuous grasp on reality and sanity, he makes some very good points.

Greta Van Susteren interviews Donald Trump on what advice he would give the president in regards to the current state of the economy:

McConnell just lost the Republicans the 2012 election.

There is a rumor Donald Trump is seriously thinking about running for President in the future. One thing's for sure, he needs to get rid of that rug hair style first.

Another hit reality show there!

Note: McConnell was defeated on Tuesday. Moreover, there will be bigger fish to fry in 2012.

Trump does make some very good points about outsourcing, NAFTA, China, and quite a few other things. While there has been some "insourcing", such as the VW plant in Chattanooga, the BMW plant in South Carolina, etc., it's still not nearly enough to replace all of the jobs that have been lost.

Stupid people typically don't become billionaires, they do however, become community organizers like Obungler or terrorist enablers like Rachel "Look ma, I'm roadkill!" Corrie!

To be fair, though, Cook County has more people in it than 29 individual states

And more gangsters and criminals per capita as well!

You mean tax evaders, right?

The gang's all there, although I must admit that Al Capone was probably the most famous gangster and tax evader to ever come out of that part of the country!

Blago, on the other hand, is the next generation of Capones!

So tell me, who can actually compete with Obama in a head to head election. 49% of the country disapproves of the job he's doing, but there's not a teabagger or an old system republican that can stand against him. If the Republicans want to even stand a chance of defeating him in 2012, they need someone that can unite the ideologies of both factions, and I don't think there's anyone prominent enough in the Republican party to do that.

MASTURBATION IS A SIN!
But yes, religion should stay out of politics. Unfortunately, it's there, it always has and it always will be (unless Buddha descends upon us and enlighten our asses ).
Teabaggers kind of miss the point. While it's fun to protest and take part of rallies (I was in the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear), you can't all just follow what people had in their picket sign. Obama is not a muslim, and while Fox News is certainly unfair and unbalanced, it has pretty good local child programs such as Fox 5 news in DC.
CNN uses twitter.
MSNBC uses dildos.

I really want an independent President for 2012. He/She might have chances of uniting the country... a bit more.

Not always. I've read in Richard Dawkins "God Delusion", that it is a paradox, that USA, which was founded by people (Jefferson, etc), who separated religion from governement is now more religious (I mean as an influence on politics) than UK, where the Church and governement (king) was the same for ages.

And I simply don't know why

It would be good if all states has own politics, but it is not possible. I think abortion, euthanasia, drugs, weapons maybe yes, but main taxes and hospitals must be federally regulated, just to coordinate.

Someone said, billioners are cleverer than poor one. Surely yes, but I think it not a good rule always to support them. They can be owners of some factories and later push some law ahead to support own factory, enterprise, etc...
I think the most important thing is to have in the governement specialists (scientists, economists) and vote for people who has coherent idea, what to do.

I'm a liberal, but in UK I would support Cameron, because he has this coherent idea how to heal British economy.

[adrian9]

the politics in the US work in a very wierd way, yet they are the most powerful nation in the world right now, I have never figure it out really, the different laws in every state, the democrats the republicans, their constitution back from 1800´s, is too big and wierd to me. and also im a bit lazy to study that shit.

Richard Dawkins also holds onto a scientific explanation for existence that even he knows is scientifically possible, (The Big Bang theory) and violates one of the core scientific theories about how chaos acts, That something that is absolutely ordered (A singularity) will never become chaotic unless acted upon by an outside force, and that chaos will always move towards more chaos, and unless (again) an outside entity forces it to order, it will never say, become a planet, or a lifeform.

Which mostly involves crushing the life out of the middle class, removing any reason foreign investment would want to set up here and destroying higher education and research (at a time where it should be invested in to maintain the UK's competitiveness into the 21st century).

Fortunately the Liberal Democrats said they wouldn't allo- oh.

I must admit that I do like what he's done with housing reform though, mostly because I am not on benefits and aspire to be a productive member of society, but then again people who are disabled or have handicapped children while working low-income jobs would probably feel differently about that.
