I hate when that happens, but I've heard there's medication that helps.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Yeah, and he can get that through his Government health care plan, but you'll have to wait.

It's good to the the King, or at least highly placed in the nobility. If I'd only known, as a youngster, how lucrative just ONE term in the House was I would definitely not have got caught with the hookers and coke. The electorate round these parts frowns on that sort of thing.

Well, the point of voting at all is that it's the only true measure of the temper of the public. And each vote does count, as we can see.The "people" don't "decide" at all in situations like this. Did someone casting their votes in (say) Iowa have a full appreciation of how the national vote was likely to pan out, and vote accordingly? Of course not.

What's your point? Both parties gerrymander whenever and however they can. It's a sub-rosa part of the combat of politics.Ian wrote:Gerrymandering, genius.

Well yeah, but I have hopes for Rand Paul in 2016. Ted Cruz as a backup.
You must be feeling terrible frustration lately though, and I don't blame you.
Yes, there's an ideological battle going on in the Republican party right now, that's true. It may also be the moment for a viable third party to emerge.The GOP is in the midst of not only a civil war but a demographic death spiral.
Well, they are everywhere, I'm just courageous enough to say so and identify them.Either they'll have to change what they believe or they'll have to get used to permanent minority status. It'll be the former rather than the latter though - too bad for angry old white guys who cling to their guns and rant about Marxists everywhere.
And if the Republicans are in such dire straights, how is it that they hold the House? And why is the democrat party so worried about the mid-terms?

Since many Republicans - especially amongst the leadership - were cock-sure they were going to win the presidency, that would make for some truly confused voters.
The simple answer to why the voting patterns for the Presidency, Senate and House are all different is that people are voting for three different things, influenced by a multitude of factors, often local as opposed to national. Any combination of outcomes is possible in terms of who controls what. There have been times in the not-too-distant past when one party has held both Houses of Congress and the Presidency, and it will happen again.
The "collective will" of the electorate doesn't exist. Never has, never will, especially for such a a large and diverse federal democracy as the USA. If you really want "checks and balances" to be party of the system so as to prevent one-party control, then propose and pass laws that will explicitly guarantee this.

Re: Why are the WW2 vets angry at the Obama Admin?
Votes are counted separately for president and house and senate. The congressional districts are made up to maximize the number or Republicans for each state. So you may get 5 republicans and 4 democrats from a state that went 60% for Obama.
Is this too complicated?

Re: Why are the WW2 vets angry at the Obama Admin?
So then how did you manage to write that most of you don't give a shit about the blame game, and then go straight onto blaming the Democrats for this?!Seth wrote:rEvolutionist wrote:Lol. You couldn't win a debate in primary school, Seth.Seth wrote:Interestingly, neither do most of us.JimC wrote:I wonder if Americans are aware of the absolute incredulity this whole rolling disaster is viewed from the outside. No one gives a shit about the desperate blame game from either of your sides of politics.
{snip}
That is WHY the Republicans took back the House...because the democrat party abused its majorities in the House, Senate and White House in passing Obamacare in the first place. The public took offense at that and gave control of the public purse to the Republican controlled house, and they did so for a reason...and a good one: The House can refuse to appropriate money to allow Obamacare to function. That's within its constitutionally mandated powers.
So its the democrat party that's shutting things down and people know that full well, and they will hold them accountable at the mid term elections.
Which, if true, makes you less intelligent than a primary school student, given the fact that I've won every single debate I've ever had with you, and you've lost them all because you run out of brain power and resort to ad hom as a universal practice.
I engage my considerably-superior-top-your intellect and I rely on facts, reason and logic, which I then turn into rational, factual and logical arguments...How do you actually write this stuff?

It would be great if all the libertarian loonies gathered in one, small, unelectable party that could just rant impotently from the sidelines...rEvolutionist wrote:What, like the Tea Party??Seth wrote:Yes, there's an ideological battle going on in the Republican party right now, that's true.

Re: Why are the WW2 vets angry at the Obama Admin?
There's a few never-heard-of parties that are always nominating people for office. But they never win, so it does make sense to call yourself a member of one of the two major parties. They're supposed to be big enough tents, right? So quite a few do, even if they're distinct enough and unwelcome enough to annoy the others already in the party.
The Tea Party are the true RINOs. It's a damn shame what they've done to the GOP.
