Mid-term voters are mostly old, white and racist so there's that....but a lot of the younger ones see the lovely service jobs available to them and the poo poo wages and that's what they base their judgment on. They blame Obama because every day they overhear the beltway echo chamber blaming him, so it must be true.

Anyone who's read the threads on this forum knows that right wing media is as much of a bewildering maelstrom of bigotry and spite as ever. But what I forgot was that not everyone associates Republicans with the hateful bile Fox pundits spew and were spewing right up to the election. Republicans actually kept themselves from stating their crazy beliefs this year, didn't they?

It's not hard when the Democrats don't actually force them to take any positions aside from "Obama bad." Honestly, this is the most hopeless, spineless, and chickenshit the Democrats have looked since 2004.

Well, you see, actively fighting against conservatives and their ideology is bad because it would make liberals lose their moral high ground. Or maybe they're just spineless.

I noticed Rush went from "hispanic voters voted for Obama cause they think he is santa claus" in 2012 while 'feliz navidad' played in the background (jeez, i wonder why they didnt get those votes), to claiming voters this election are telling Obama "no more, no mas". Well played, Rush.

The gerrymandering and disenfranchisement can only help so much. I hope.

The hardest thing to listen to from the RWM talking heads over the last two days has been how this election is a repudiation of socialism. As if Obama is anything close to a socialist. Jesus Christ. He's basically been Reagan as far as I can make out.

quote:But this evening is worth discussing exactly why President Obama took it on the chin. First of all his economic policies have not worked. Take home pay for most working Americans has dropped on his watch. That is the only important economic indicator for the folks. Many Americans don't have enough money to fulfill their obligations. And the reason is, Mr. Obama wants the feds to run the economy. http://www.foxnews.com/transcript/2014/11/06/bill-oreilly-democrats-get-their-butts-kicked/ It's amazing how he's able to shift the burden of national debt and government spending not on the Military Industrial Complex, Not on "Corporate Bailouts"...no, no, it's the people on welfare, food stamps and other forms of "assistance" as to why we're in the imaginary problem of the "National Debt".

Declaring a mandate when you don't actually have one and don't plan on doing anything veto-proof, especially with the Republican base, is just setting yourself up for failure. Mitch didn't even try to push that line because he knows this. At this point I'd say it's dangerous for them to even be saying they're going to be productive and get poo poo done, seeing as the only things they can agree on at this point are repeal obamacare, build the keystone pipeline and gov't shutdowns. No one of any note or influence was running on something they planned to do (in earnest) that got any sort of majority or plurality excited. Even if they had a real mandate, what's it for? What was promised that was any different than 2008? Impeachment maybe? Hey you got your mandate from a bunch of old white people, they sure seem to be into it, give it a shot. PLEASE.

I would pay good money for Crowder -- or any other conservative wackjob -- to say and do whatever he wants provided that his guest gives him at least one solid blow to the face. They could call it "The Bruised and Broken Conservative" and everyone, everywhere would love it. Liberals would vicariously revel in seeing Crowder get bloodied, conservatives would get their little soapboxes and some flimsy justification for their martyr complex, and everybody else could enjoy political discourse spiced up with an rear end in a top hat getting his rear end kicked.

FuzzySkinner posted:http://www.foxnews.com/transcript/2014/11/06/bill-oreilly-democrats-get-their-butts-kicked/ Ah, yes, the time honored mantra of "the poor have all of the money". That surely must explain why they're poor. Now let me tell why this one CEO of the company I work for deserves to make 100x much as I do. It's amazing to me how ONE death from Ebola in the U.S. and, what, 3 or 4 ISIS executions (one American) equals an "outbreak" and "epidemic" and a "systematic failure of government" but 15,000 people or whatever the number of Americans dying form lack of healthcare equals "the free market". I read a statistic recently that divided the number of deaths caused by terrorism by the number of dollars spent fighting it and it came out to like 1 million dollars per person or something insane like that.

Well, the fact that Obama is not a socialist doesn't mean the events of the election are not a repudiation of socialism. The people that voted on the socialism issue are clearly and genuinely saying they don't want socialism. They simply don't realize that what Obama is doing is not socialism.

Be on the lookout for a Rush transcript a few months from now where he says the GOP congress is a wild success because Obama can't "shove x down our throats" when he wasn't in the first place.

I was being conservative, yes, so as not to seem hyperbolic or have my numbers called out. Begging your pardon, I was only off by a multiple of 500. (edit) Wait, no I wasn't. I meant to cite "per capita" not "per victim". Whatever it is, it's too loving much. http://thinkbynumbers.org/government-spending/anti-terrorism-spending-disproportionate-to-threat/ quote:The US spends more than $500 million per victim on anti-terrorism efforts. However, cancer research spending is only $10,000 per victim. Evolutionary psychology may offer an explanation for this irrational threat amplification.

Hazo posted:Of course, but if someone complains specifically about the "poor" economic conditions and blames Obama for them (as seems to be the case based on exit polls) then I think it's pretty safe to say they're indeed delusional because the statistics unequivocally show a steady recovery since the collapse under Bush. Really the most common reason people support mass deregulation of literally everything isn't because they think it will fix the economy but because it will help them, personally. Remember that a lot of these people are Randian shits that believe themselves ubermensch that would be successful if only it weren't for that stupid government holding them back. It's the "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" thing. They know that deregulation would increase inequality but they actually want that. They want to see everybody that isn't like them punished for obviously not trying hard enough to be like them. They seriously divide the world into "people like me" and "people not like me." People like me deserve accolades and praises and millions of dollars. People not like me should all be rounded up into prison and forced to make nice office furniture for people like me.

The poor economic conditions we're experiencing are a direct result of 35 years of Reaganomics and will never get fixed until we re-examine that approach. Meaning of course that they'll never get fixed until capitalism an supply side economics inevitably eats itself.

If the actual base was capable of anything more dangerous for the GOP than sending annoying morons to congress via deep red states and districts they would've done it by now.
