Obama gets bitch slapped

[Free Thinker]

Quote from CaptainObvious:

No, as I clearly wrote it is a warning message to the Republican establishment. People would rather see a Dem elected than a leftist passing as a Repub. Take away the 6% that the leftist slut Scozzafava got, which is a crime in and of itself as those votes should automatically go to the Repub candidate, and the Conservative candidate wins.
It's not about the number of seats picked up or lost. If you cannot see a clear message being sent when Corzine loses the seat in a Dem stronghold like New Jersey, then it is you that are delusional.

i guess when you are delusional you have an easier time making lemonade out of lemons. corzine was down over 15 points before obama tried to help. he was very unpopular for local reasons. in any case governors dont make national policy.
the two democrat seats picked up in the house adding to an already huge margin is much more important. if republicians are ever to regain any kind of power they somehow have to start gaining seats in national elections.

you guys are delusional but funny. the gop picked up 2 state governor seats. the dems picked up two house seats that support health care reform. one of the seats has been in repub control for 100 years. you call this a smackdown for obama?

Since you're struggling to see the significance:

"WASHINGTON – Independents who swept Barack Obama to a historic 2008 victory broke big for Republicans on Tuesday as the GOP wrested political control from Democrats in Virginia and New Jersey, a troubling sign for the president and his party heading into an important midterm election year.

Elsewhere on Tuesday, Maine voters rejected a state law that would allow same-sex couples to wed. If supporters had prevailed, it would have marked the first time that the electorate in any state endorsed gay marriage.

His signature issue of health care reform was dealt a blow hours before polls closed when Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid signaled that Congress may not complete health care legislation this year, missing Obama's deadline and pushing debate into a congressional election year. Democrats in swing-voting states and moderate-to-conservative districts may be less willing to back Obama on issues like health care after Virginia and New Jersey showed there are limits to how much he can protect his rank and file from fallout back home.

The president had personally campaigned for Deeds and Corzine, seeking to ensure that independents and base voters alike turned out even if he wasn't on the ballot — and voters still rejected them.

Independents were a critical part Obama's victory in Virginia, New Jersey and across the country. But after more than a year of recession, they fled from Democrats in the two states, where the economy trumped all."

Yes, the "compassionate conservatives" will rejoice like little devils when people in this country die because they can't get affordable or effective health care...

No wonder the GOP symbol is an elephant with the Devil's mark on the side...

It's truly entertaining to sit back and watch all the machines get turned onto SPIN cycle here, and all over the MSM, trying to protect their little project man child.

truth be known i dont want to try too hard to convince your side that they are out of touch. i would rather you go along thinking what you are doing is working based on last nights results.

You're doing your best to spin this, but we all know what's up. Corzine being unpopular is irrelevant. A Dem child murderer could win re-election in Jersey. New Jersey is a Dem stronghold and the machine broke down. What happened? Glad you asked . Those independents that voted for Obama last year didn't show up, and they're never going to show up again, in any election. Buyers remorse is reverberating throughout the Dem party. Marxism ain't the change they were looking for, so all those that voted with their hearts, wanted to be part of history, feel good about themselves voting for a black guy...those people are gone, and gone forever.

The only way you can call them delusional is if you believe Democrats gained momentum based on the election results yesterday. Do you sincerely believe the Democrats were the ones that gained momentum yesterday?

 

[Ricter]

The conservative party appears to be gaining momentum, by most accounts, by way of voters turning against "the other guy", a process that ironically is also used to diminish the importance of Obama's victory. Is the US gaining momentum here? I'm thinking, "no".
