All this means is absolutely NOTHING will be done in Washington. I'd be fine with that if it meant Washington would completely shut down...no salaries for Congresscritters or their staffs, no per-diem paid, no housing allowances, no gubmint cars/gasoline...but of course, that will NEVER happen. Each side will pander to their base and blame the other side for the lack of action running the country.

We the People get fucked again.

The theme will be the same even if next election a republican wins the white house.

And the partisan system puts people in that serve the party first. There are no real options.

I'm sure you've got specifics on what's going to change and what republicans will be pushing for. I'm mean, a list of their agenda shouldn't be too hard to come up with, after all, surely, the republicans ran on something other than Obama bashing /s



My guess is this poster never responds and will simply retreat to the hole he came from.

See Obama won because McCain is like 200 years old and Romney put his foot in his mouth on a nearly daily basis. Every election is a battle between two turds, barely anyone votes, and its mostly just a giant battle about who can spend more money to dupe stupid Americans.

Here's my prediction: the USA continues to fall behind the rest of the developed world in everything but military spending and incarceration rates.

Basically yep.

These elections barely matter at all.

"Republicans put back in charge!" Until they piss off the voters, and it's back to the democrats......till they piss off the voters, then it's back to the republicans.

Let's suppose for just a moment that the Republicans controlled both houses of Congress and the presidency. What would they do that was so great?

Lie about weapons of mass destruction in some foreign country resulting in the crippling or deaths of thousands of Americans while adding trillions to the nation's budget deficit?

Enact more economic policies that result in a wealth transfer from the bottom 95% to the top 5%? Enact economic policies that essentially result in serfdom for 95% of the populace? Enact economic policies that allow businesses to ship yet even more jobs overseas or fill domestic jobs with foreigners on work visas?

Revoke abortion, gay marriage, and legalize marijuana (in states where it's legal) -- aka "Big Government in the Bedroom", essentially transforming the nation into a Christian version of Iran and take us back to the Stone Ages while making the nation the laughing stock of the rest of the civilized world?

Continue to fail to even attempt to fix the world's most expensive and inefficient health care system?

Just what would be so great about having a Republican controlled government?

In a nation of Joe-the-Plumber morons, people will need to lube up and prepare their rectums for the top 5% and the Church to initiate anal penetration.

Oh, so the top 5% are the villains now? I can't keep track since you guys keep changing that number -- I've heard 1%, 5%, 10%, 20%....
