I see conservatives won in GB, and got a majority too.

In a show of unity, Senate Democrats sealed a 60-vote majority needed to advance health care legislation Saturday ahead of an evening showdown with Republicans eager to doom the bill and inflict a punishing defeat on President Barack Obama. Two final holdouts, Sens. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas, announced in speeches a few hours apart on the Senate floor they would vote to clear the way for what is expected to be a bruising, full-scale health care debate after Than ...

"here’s what the public said about the Bush tax cuts, according to the exit polls last month: 40 percent said to continue ALL of the cuts, 36 percent said to continue them for families who earn less than $250,000 a year, and an additional 15 percent said to expire them for all. So a majority -- 51 percent -- backed either the Democratic position or wants all the cuts to expire." ...

Just read this really long article (4 pages) written by Arthur C. Brooks who is the president of the American Enterprise Institute and the author of "The Battle: How the Fight Between Free Enterprise and Big Government Will Shape America's Future." The link to look up his info is provided here along with more articles he wrote. http://www.aei.org/scholar/125 I think he hit the nail on the head. I'm including part of it here, but can't do all of it and will provide the ...

need to work together to get anything done. Not to say anyone thinks any of these leopards have changed their spots, and divisions and obstructionism are deeply engrained, but increasingly these old opponents across the aisle have more in common with each other than with the GOP's extreme TP/"base." Excerpt from the Washington Post: "House Democrats see political winds shifting in their direction Published: February 8 Democrats, who met this week at the Lansdowne R ...

Someone posted an (incorrect) analysis regarding the theoretical increase in the Muslim population in America. It failed to take a number of factors into account and was slanted in a painfully obvious way toward her position, but that's not what I'm discussing here. I think, sometimes, that the most treasonous failure of the American educational system is that it manages to spit out "graduates" (even from college) who haven't the faintest notion not only of how to think or ...

"But if anybody can mess this up my side has the total capacity here at the last minute to figure out how to turn 65% to 25%" when talking about his party's chances. "We've proven a couple of times in a row that we can do that," he says about Republicans snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in previous elections. He sure does live up to his name.

Voters say second term for Obama is undeserved, country is worse off. 52% say nation is in "worse condition". 54% say he does not deserve reelection based solely on his job performance. They also strongly suggest Democrats need to convince voters the election should be a choice between Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney, rather than a referendum on the president. - http://thehill.com/conventions-2012/dem-convention-charlotte/247263-hill-poll-voters-think-second-term-undeserved ...

But it wouldn't surprise me if he went ahead anyway. The Democrat Senators wouldn't be too happy about that, though would they? Link ...

Albeit it is a small margin (51% prefer Shariah law over the US Constitution), it is something to seriously consider and think about. This country was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and should not be changed to conform with Muslims. P.S. I am about as liberal as one can get. ...

In 2042 whites are projected to be a minority. So this is a progressive trend and I'm interested in thoughts regarding political adjustments from both sides. I'm at a 3 for the Republican party at large. The Democrats are at 10 plus IMO. This really is a big issue for the future of the Republicans. ...

why is Obama imposing sanctions against Russia? I don't get this. If someone does, please tell me what I'm missing. ...

(I put Tea Party in quotes, because its original grass roots base has become a sad joke.) From the Washington Post, December 25: "The day after Labor Day, just as campaign season was entering its final frenzy, FreedomWorks, the Washington-based tea party organization, went into free fall. Richard K. Armey, the group’s chairman and a former House majority leader, walked into the group’s Capitol Hill offices with his wife, Susan, and an aide holstering a handgun at his waist. The aim ...

Have you ever argued politics with a conservative counterpart and felt as if you were speaking two different languages? Well, you were. In order to bridge the divide, we have developed some definitions in the hopes of making things a bit easier. con-serv-a-tive [kuhn-sur-vuh-tiv] -noun: A liberal who has not yet figured out how to think for himself/herself. def-i-cit [def-uh-sit; Brit. also di-fis-it] -noun: The amount by which a sum of money falls short of the required amount, which o ...

This is not a war on anything but perhaps their own sanity. Did they have a problem with the Starbuck's emblem before it was on the red cup?

Obama's High BarBy Eugene RobinsonTuesday, October 13, 2009 WaPoSomebody explain this to me: The president of the United States wins the Nobel Peace Prize and Rush Limbaugh joins with the Taliban in bitterly denouncing the award? Glenn Beck has a conniption fit and demands that the president not accept what may be the world's most prestigious honor? The Republican National Committee issues a statement sarcastically mocking our nation's leader -- elected, you will recall, by a heal ...

If you are unhappy with the current administration, start volunteering your time, put your money where your mouth is, and get more conservatives out to vote in future elections. If your candidates have the majority of votes, you will get the change you seek. If your candidates do not have the majority of votes, then you are obliged to abide by the laws set forth by those elected to office by the majority. That is how democracy works. Having tea parties, holding up offensive si ...

Now that they got what they wanted, the progressives have disappeared. You'd think they'd be gloating all night long. Or is their "job" here finished? Very strange.... ...

You will, no doubt, have noticed that the liberals on this board are largely unable and/or unwilling to actually discuss any substantial issues - or to defend Obama's dismal record - with any sort of competence. Show them an Obama ad today, and they'll repeat it tomorrow. But I would only ask you to consider this: What else can they do, and how would you like to be in their shoes? My advice, then, is this: Walk a mile in their shoes, and when you've under ...

It looks like they had this bipolar reaction to the naming of Ryan as Veep. Now the reality is settling in and they realize that the extremist policies favoring the rich will not be helping Romney get elected and they are flailing about like trout out of water. Hope they don't hurt themselves too badly. ...

go did go wrong for a couple of decades, letting themselves be swept farther right without scoping out the crowd they found themselves part of and where it was going, or why. That did cost us all badly, but what happened when we lost their stabilizing contribution just shows how much we need them to be good conservatives, to not sit quietly out in some chastened "independent-land" while extremists continue to dominate the discussion. It's way past time for them to get over it and step up ...

Shady stuff. At least Nigel Farage and the UKIP lost too - GB's far right party

Yeah, I saw that. So sad for the Brits. - nm
