Posters Lets Get Back Our Country Tomorrow: Vote Republican

[andywend]

Let's break that down.

"Support Individual Freedom"----well, that eliminates the GOP. They don't trust us to gamble with out own money.
"Small effective Gov't"-----That eliminates both parties. Neither has ever demonstrated effectiveness, or small.
"Significantly reduce the tax burden"-----the tax burden is heaviest on the wealthy----so that doesn't apply to 99.99999999999% of SBR.
"Enforce Immigration Laws"-----again, that eliminates both parties.
"Incentive to keep jobs here"-----eliminates both parties.

Enforcing immigration laws - Which party filed a lawsuit to stop Arizona from doing what they feel is necessary to combat the illegal immigration problem - THE DEMOCRATS

Incentive to keep jobs here - The democrats believe in higher corporate taxes, they support the unions and also support the trial lawyers. What exactly do the democrats believe in that is a positive for businesses to keep jobs in the U.S.?

Significantly reduce the tax burden - Are you honestly trying to claim that the democrats and republicans are equal in this area?

Small effective government - The democrats believe in large, controlling government while the republicans believe in less government. Once again, your analysis indicating that the 2 parties are the same in this area is ridiculous.

Support individual freedom - While you are 100% correct about the republicans and the bullshit they did when sneaking the UIGEA through congress, it was the democratic Hillary Clinton that kept saying "it takes a village to raise a child".

The poster PhilsWin who came up with these 5 issues is probably a conservative because these are all issues where the conservatives have a much better stance than the democrats. Martin, I found it comical how you managed to spin the question in the democrats favor.

Perhaps you should go into politics?

This election is going to accomplish exactly what our country needs. Barack Obama will no longer have a congress that caters to his every whim and he will no longer go completely unchecked.

The democrats are no longer going to get everything they want and neither will the republicans. Thats great for all of us.

I am an Independant but yes mostly Republican and Libertarian candidates satisfy those requirements - personal freedom though is probabaly an even split

[blueghost]

[TexansFan]

I'm guessing that Chris Matthew's leg has stopped tingling.

[wtf]

LMFAO! I am white and also a small business owner who has reinvested in my local community by hiring 8 people this year thanks to the 16 small business tax cuts enacted by Obama. If I wanted to stockpile my mind with worthless shit I will read Sarah Palin's book. Thank you for validating my point, as your retarded generalizations, immaturity, and ignorance is posted now for everyone to see. You have disgraced yourself with what you just said. Nothing happens all the time nor does something never happen. Your little sick twisted mind is clouded because you follow people that live paradoxical lives that create misery when they tell you it will be nirvana. you are also failing to see the big picture. you shouldn't be jealous of people that don't exist (as you still have presented zero examples and can only say bottom feeders or start pulling your weight when bitch slapped by reality), that say things that have never been said. once again i declare bullshit on your original premise. you have never heard anyone say the things you claim, nor do you know anyone that has. why don't you gtfo out of this country if you don't like modern transportation

every word of dribble you have had your secretary type is pure fabrication and I am starting to wonder if your some dem mole floating around web sites spouting pure lies

the only small biz you might own and hired more staff for is a paper delivery outfit funded by democrats

[jjgold]

WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel part of it by swaying votes here at SBR

[floridagolfer]

You didn't have to vote straight Republican; just don't vote for incumbents.

Andy, you need a civics lesson or you need to turn off Rush.

The idea that the GOP wants a small gov't is pure Fantasy. Not one of the last three GOP presidents---Reagan, Bush I, Bush II, did anything to reduce the size of gov't. Under Reagan three new Gov't agencies were created, under Bush I two were created, and Bush II famously provided the medicare prescription drug plan. None of those ideas get signed into law without GOP congressmen and Senators voting for it.

Incentives to keeps jobs here is another GOP fantasy. There isn't a tax break big enough---unless you consider giving Corporations bribes-----that would allow them to match the wages they pay overseas in places like India and China that would allow for the US workforce to be competitive. Keeping jobs in the US has nothing to do with tax breaks----it has to do with making our trade deficit smaller-----which the GOP happily pissed away in 2004.

And when it comes to Individual Freedom------just stop. This is the biggest GOP myth of all------the GOP wants to control gambling, who gets married, who has sex with who----and most of all, the GOP certainly doesn't trust anyone to smoke a joint from time to time. The Dems don't trust people with guns-----I will say that, but across the board both parties want control of some part of your life. With the GOP it is gambling, sex, and weed. With the Dems it is guns.

[scotty99dog99]

are you so happy? why?

[d2bets]

Democrats had a good day. House went as expected, forgone conclusion. Dems look like they will have 53-46-1 in Senate. It was 45% going into the day that they'd even have the 51 control. Dems won ATS yesterday.

[pavyracer]

As long as the White House and Senate is controlled by the Democrats it's a good balance.

dherd is correct about the online gambling part and 100% wrong about everything else.


Dherd, after reading your liberal left-wing rant, its kind of a shame you weren't on that fateful marshall plane.

Enjoy tonight's election, lol.

i'm done posting for today as i am getting tired of removing all of those disgusting [color=important] bugs that keep popping up all over my postings.

asshole you wouldnt make a comment like that to my face - you little weasle. Fact is i was on the first team after the crash - the one portrayed in the movie (in fact i am in one of the photos shown at the end of the movie) . Several kids i knew there lost both parents in that crash and it isnt a joking matter - even from a clown like you. That comment displays all anyone needs to know about you and the type of politician a fool like you would support.

The spending is over

let's hope.

Glad this failed experiment has come to a screeching halt. Let's hope Americans can put away the jelly

[crustyme]

yeah, lets get back spending trillions rebuilding iraqi oilfields.

[jjgold]

Congrats guys we did it

The Obama crush is log gone

[pavyracer]

President and vice-President are still in office with a Senate majority. Obama wins again.

[str]

Nice to get some fresh, new faces...er , crooked lying, for sale to the highest bidder snakes in there.

[DrStale]

WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JJ, you have my vote

[The Madcap]

President and vice-President are still in office with a Senate majority. Obama wins again.

I'd argue the opposite. This was probably the worse outcome for Obama. Not just for his agenda, but his re-election bid in 2012.

He either is going to have to move his policies to a more centrist position, which is going to deflate his base, or he's not going to accomplish anything, which is going to make him look like an ineffective leader.

If Reid had lost to Angle, and Coons had lost to O'Donnel, and Miller had won in Alaska, there's a possibility the "far right views" in the Senate would have garnered enough animosity in the left so that Obama could run against "Republican Extremism" in 2012. But the Republicans that won are going to learn from these defeats and realize that the country isn't going to accept that type of tone on the national front.

With the GOP winning the House and so many gubenatorial races, Obama is going to take it as a sign that he can't further alienate middle America. Which means he moves to the center. But centrist Dem's got obliterated in this election, mainly because centrist Dems only exist in non-liberal areas. And non-liberals think, "Why buy the knockoff when I can have the real thing for the same price?"

So, as Obama moves center, and the GOP learns from the Angle/O'Donnell/Miller defeats, the Republicans will get smart and talk moderate, while maintaining their core principles. (At least if they are smart, and well, who knows if the GOP can get smart. They sure didn't get it in '06.)

But Obama doesn't seem to have the ability to move center and sell it the way Clinton did. Clinton made many liberals believers in moderate right ideas. I don't think Obama has that capability. Which means the liberals in 2012 are going to see Obama as a traitor or a failure, and the rest of the country will just see him as a dolt, and so the vote in 2012 will go to the GOP just like it did yesterday. Unless the GOP does something stupid like pick Palin or Gingrich or some other polarizing figure that will inspire enough ire in the left to still come out for Obama.

Either way, if you're a liberal, there is only one way to assess this election:

America is still a center-right country as it has always been. Yes there are some pockets with a libertarian streak, but the elections of Reid over Angle, Coons over O'Donnell, and Murkowski over Miller demonstrate America has not lost it's mind to "right-wing extremism."

Now you have two options: reasses your vision of the role government should play in the lives of Americans, or continue to have your progressive ideas rejected with indignation.

One race in particular should tell you all you need to know: Coons-O'Donnell. If Cassle had won the GOP primary, he would have defeated Coons, in a liberal state.

As long as the GOP has no leadership Obama has nothing to worry about. Put Palin and McCain again on the GOP ticket and he wins in a landslide. All GOP candidates are tied to big money corporations and the voters know it and won't elect these scumbags.

we know that saying "ALL" isn't 100% accurate. By saying GOP candidates are tied to big money corporations and not mentioning Democratic candidates/Obama are tied with Unions makes your statement incomplete and suspiciously misleading.

[The Madcap]

As long as the GOP has no leadership Obama has nothing to worry about. Put Palin and McCain again on the GOP ticket and he wins in a landslide. All GOP candidates are tied to big money corporations and the voters know it and won't elect these scumbags.

The GOP having no identifiable leadership for the next 16-20 months would probably be a bad thing for Obama, as it would mean that he wouldn't have an ongoing foil to develop as a target of built up frustration to run against.

I do agree with your point about Palin and McCain, but I don't think the GOP will be that dumb this time around.

Just about every candidate, GOP or Dem, is tied to a big money corporation at this point. There are corporations that pursue their self-interests through government intervention, and those that choose to pursue their self-interests free of it. And both the GOP and the Dem's have different corporations that contribute to them seeking the government's protection. The corporations that don't want government protection usually contribute to the GOP--at least when the GOP does what it's supposed to. Whereas the union money goes to the Democrats. While some Americans might view big corporations as evil, most Americans (IE: the people that just gave the GOP one of the biggest landslides ever) view unions as being full of more evil scumbags than privately run businesses.

Most Americans realize that big corporations have lots at stake in every election. And that those companies are going to contribute to the candidates that will create conditions under which that company can be the most successful. If it's a strong/smart company that's creative/innovative and knows how to adjust to the changing of the times, chances are they will give money to the GOP. If it's a company that is struggling to finance itself and hold itself up in rough economic times, either because it lacks innovation or the ability to appeal to consumers, then they will give their money to the Democrats. Americans that work for a living in the real world know this. And that's why campaign finance reforms only matter to liberals who work in academia or some other place dependent upon tax dollars.
