This is wonderful news. Now Democrats have no one to blame but themselves for anything. Total control of the House, total control of the Senate, and total Control of all Executive offices.

THANK GOD it's about time.

God was not involved. ACORN was.

You sure it wasn't Socialist/Muslim/Marxist/Communist group or person that got him elected? LOL

...silly Republicans.

All of the above. I would love to laugh with you, but find it rather tragic.
Labels change, essence stays.

I agree. It's a recipe for disaster. See 2000-2006.

Yup.

"Remember back in aught nine when the Democratic Party stole the Minnesota Senatorial seat election?"

Sound familiar? Both were determined by the Supreme Court ruling, right?

The thing that is difference this go around though is that the Dems have a filibuster proof senate now. So what ever little bit of power the Repubs had is completely gone now. And the way Obama and Rahm have been twisting arms it doesn't give me much faith in the argument that this isn't a rubber stamp.

The problem is we need checks and balances on both the repubs and dems in the form of a third party.

That's not realistic in America at this time. NO 3rd party will ever get any traction as long as the MSM is in the pocket of the PTB. I'm curious, how many times have there been total control of the gov't? And now we have 2 in the last 10 years. If that doesn't stink of manipulation I don't know what does.

I think the last time we did was during the depression and for a few decades after that. The student protest ousted the dem's over Vietnam, then they got voted back in with carter then it was pretty much repubs the whole way until 1993-1995 (92-94) then it was repubs again, up until 06.

And agreed, the other problem with a third party is that none of them are viable right now. The thing that worries be about it though is that all the rage and political division leads to extremism.

And it's been going on for decades. Divide and conquer. And now we are reaping the years of their efforts. Just look at the board. We have some damn smart people here but when it gets down to politics it looks like an elementary school yard. Hardly something that you would expect from thinking people. The programming is working.

Well, when you have more votes counted than there are registered voters, something stinks to High Heaven.

Do I see the influence of ACORN? You bet I do...

The same thing could be said for the Florida count in 2000. What's the point?

Two different situations. In Fla., Gore only wanted a partial recount, Bush called for a total recount..

The voter fraud in the US is disgusting.

Ask yourself why Kerry conceded Ohio so quickly...?
