It wasn’t just a House majority – from the AP:
The odds of getting re-elected have gotten better for Rep. Renee Ellmers and other Republican freshmen in the House – thanks to GOP calculations in redrawing congressional maps.
The 47-year-old nurse who ousted seven-term Democrat Bob Etheridge by fewer than 1,500 votes last November will be running next year in a newly drawn North Carolina district that’s less swing and more Republican. The outlook is brighter too for Texas Rep. Blake Farenthold, a conservative talk radio host who edged 14-term Democrat Solomon Ortiz by just 797 votes. Farenthold will find more Republicans in a Corpus Christi-based district that now stretches north…
Lost in all the hoopla over 2010 is the fact that while Democrats were beaten badly in the House, they were crushed in the States. The GOP is in total political control of 26 States and has a good deal of power in most of the remainder – and this re-districting will be the first since the 1921 re-districting where the GOP mostly controls the process. For 90 years we Republicans have mostly run in the political universe Democrats made for us…but outside of a few Democrat strong-holds (Illinois, eg), that is no longer the case. It was at the State level where the revolution really took hold…and the failed, $20 million effort by Democrats to reverse that revolution in Wisconsin shows that Democrat power in America mostly rests on the fact that we are still waiting for a Presidential election to make it fully national.
In the article, you can find quotes by Democrats who are talking big about how this or that re-districting effort will help them…as if they really have a chance of re-capturing the House in 2012 because Obama will bring out the liberal voters…none of whom, of course, are dismayed by what has happened since 2008. Fat chance, Democrats…you’ll be lucky if you only lost a dozen House and half a dozen Senate seats next year. And you only get that if things go really well and Obama is re-elected…there is just as good a chance of 30 House and 12 Senate seats falling to the GOP.
We will win this Revolution, Americans. The people are on our side and we’ve obtained the power to ensure that Democrats aren’t able to lie, cheat and steal their way in to continued power. We will have them – and we will restore America.

if they have such great power…why do they continue to ignore the abuse of the federal government…its totally justifiable to call a constitutional convention to force a balanced budget amendment on congress…
but then again…even the GOP held states…from 2008…failed to insure that obieOne was eligible to be POTUS…it was public information that obieOne was BORN with British Citizenship and did not qualify to be POTUS…yet they turned thier heads instead of standing up for the Constitution…
cant win for losin they say…
Be careful what you wish for.
really…(ROFL)
maybe the hundreds of millions soros dumps into anti american organizations will “fix” the problem…(DOH)
hmmm….a webpage from the magazine front page mag….hmm…they don’t have an agenda.
the truth must really scare you…cuz i notice all ya didnt say compared to the BS ya did…doesnt amount to a hill o’ beans stooge….
Keep up the good conspiracy theories stooge.
Can’t wait to hear Obama’s new plans, or outlines, or thoughts anyway on job creation that he plans to unveil after his vacation. And I am sure all of those millions of unemployed Americans are anxious to, it’s just a shame that they have to wait until he is finished golfing to hear of this great new future we’re about to embark on though.
I will bet that he will call for more government spending. Anyone want to take that bet?
I will bet that he will call for more government spending. Anyone want to take that bet?
Come on, Cluster; it’s called “investment”. Get with the program.
My bad Spook. I am also guessing that he will call for more “revenue”.
i thought it was called squander…hmmmm
Government spending in the form of reducing corporate taxes and reducing small business taxes by one half is likely what will be announced.
reducing taxes is not spending…you must belong to the same stupid club that most democraps belong to
reducing taxes is not spending
Actually, in the Liberal sphere, it is.
What he should be calling for is tax reform, regulatory reform, an end to energy exploration moratorium, a repeal of Obamacare. and a one year hiatus of capital gains
cluster,
there is no moraturium on exploration and drilling in the Gulf. nice try there champ.
and you want the President to repeal his signature bill that PASSED the house and Senate? wow, I wonder if you expected Bush to repeal NCLB and Medicare Part D.
you’re truly off the reservation.
you must be living in lala land thomastooge…
the real problem mark…is the long term picture…while we may stop them today…they will just hang out…and wait…
this is the tactic that gave them the DNC…if we are to be rid of them once and for all…it need be much more dramatic and final…than to slow the fall…we have to stand america back on freedom…and with that freedom must come success…across the globe…or socialism will never retreat…
stop babbling. this isn’t the 50’s and you aren’t McCarthy.
js,
Does this goofy Iranian poseur ever make a point or does he just drop pellets of tommy-poop?
Is that why no one answeres him?
you must be a recycled conservative kook who keeps showing up under different names.
hmmmm…..you sound familiar to me.
ps. still no proof of your accuations against me?
Wanneer u beweerden uw naam werd Zamanian, we weten het is Ziatabar?
At least the “sz” made sense when you were sz0102 Sasan.
Just stick a new name in front of 0102 and be sure to bring your racist Iranian rage back, maybe we won’t recognize the hate then.
Oooh, now we know who this is ……this is amazona or luvtohatelibs…..
Why did you write in Dutch? Maybe with your limited education, you got it mixed up with German. I speak German, not Dutch you ignorant kook.
Keep up the Free entertainment however, it’s great…..
Yet you recognized it as Dutch.
If you don’t speak Dutch then why did you lie on your resume? And you’ve already proven you don’t speak German.
Dd you just ask a person of German heritage how he recognized Dutch? Really?
That’s like asking a spaniard how he knows something is written in portuguese…truly stupid folk we have here
its all tommystoogepoop…he dont have a clue…just a keyboard…
sz0102, I didn’t ask anyone of German heritage; I asked you.
delusional much?
To quote Fiona in “Burn Notice”: “should we shoot them?”
Disclaimer: the above quote is intended as a joke and is, in no way, advocating shooting Liberals.
Shooting them from what?
Shirley,
Don’t expect an answer, this is how conservatives are….if you talk about violence against them, they will complain and run to the moderator to delete it…..if they post it however, it’s fair game as long as there is a disclaimer.
It’s actually funny when you think about the mindset of these kooks
Tommyhamas,
Are you totally deranged or just stupid?
Hilarious! Another handle by the same guy…..wonder how many he has!
I said it once, I’ll say it again….conservatives on this site are cowards and deranged
Hilarious! Another handle by the same guy…..wonder how many he has!
From comments I’ve read here in the last week or so, it would appear that you’ve had at least 5 handles on this blog, so I’m not exactly sure what your point is. In fact, in the week I’ve been here, I have yet to see you make a valid point.
Everyone here knows Sasan and his angry ramblings. Why he insists on perpetuation this self-delusion that he’s fooling anyone with this absurd “German” sock-puppet is beyond me.
His ignorance of the German language, German geography, and culture is so transparently obvious I have to wonder if he’s just a social misfit with severe a personality disorder who has a sick need for conflict, and for venting his considerable venom.
notice on Disclaimers that many not have the proper affect on idiots: oh goody….
Everyone here knows Sasan and his angry ramblings.
you have to tell me who this person is you’re stalking Amazona. I’d be nice if you could.

really? you doubt my knowledge about German history and German geography? hmmm…..Im willing to bet I know more than you do, but then again, you don’t and can’t provide any evidence of your claims. so why bother.
sz0102,
“I like Munich because it’s close to Milan and Naples”
Really, How long did it take you to go from Munich to Milan? Which is faster, plain, train or automobile? What was the last thing you saw before crossing the border into Austria?
Yes I think we should repeal Part D and NCLB. The entire system needs reformed, because mindless, useful idiots like yourself, who aren’t paying attention, or for some misguided compassion, have enabled a federal government to become too big, too intrusive, too expensive, too incompetent, too inefficient, too ineffective, and too burdensome.
Nce talking points. But it’s good you finally calling out the GOP on their faux fiscal conservative ideology during the bush regime.
Thanks
So acknowledging that the federal government is $14 trillion in unsustainable debt and and has over reached it’s constitutional authority is now a talking point?
Thomas, you take the term “useful idiot” to a new level.
Te debt sic not unsustainable. Have you seen the bond markets and the rate for borrowing. Dont thou believe in market forces cluster?
You’re the useful idiot who keeps believing the fear mongers day by day. What’s next? The end ties is near because of an earthquake?
dont feed the trolls cluster…
Thomas,
Spell check is neat tool – use it some time.
And do us all a favor, and have Obama run on the platform that bond rates are low, therefore we can spend our way back to prosperity. I would welcome that debate.
oh, the spelling police is here!!!! watch out!!!
I was typing from a mobile device, excuse me if your weak language skills can’t discern certain words because ONE letter is off.
That’s your problem not mine.
And nobody is going to run on what you think about spending….the TRUTH is that bond markets dictate whether or not its ok for us to borrow, or even reasonable for us to borrow, and the truth is that it is. We are essentially a AAA rated nation (according to 2/3 agencies).
So, just know that whatever RINO you pick for your nominee, and I assure you it will be a RINO. he will LOSE like it’s his job.
…the TRUTH is that bond markets dictate whether or not its ok for us to borrow, – thomas
So now we are deferring our fiscal policy to the bond markets. Interesting approach.
And seriously, ANYONE will beat Obama. He will be the easiest incumbent ever to defeat – including Jimmy Carter. I would love to read your posts following the 2012 election, but I have a feeling you will not be available at that time.
Te debt sic hahahahahahaha
one letter off hahahahahahahahaha
I find it hard to believe that anyone would defend this current federal government. Anyone that objectively looks at the facts, can not conclude anything other than the current system is unsustainable.
But unfortunately we have people like thomas that will support the current system to the end as long as someone with the “right intentions” are in office, irrespective of actual results.
you can figure that most of this horse droppings are coming from 5-10% of the population that never figured out what moral behavior is to start with…
shoot…even the original roe in RvW defected and is pissed of because she was used as stooge bait in this mess…and now millions of humans have died because of it…i dont even wanna think about that guilt trip
hitler killed 6 million jews…islam killed 100 million hindu…and the US Supreme court killed over 50 million people…rivaling the most heineous crimes in human histoy…because they let defenseless humans be executed under the authority of the law….
Money talks and bull walks. When are the repubs in the house going to start cutting off the money supply? Take away taxpayer money and left will start melting away.
Take a look at Wisconsin public sector unions. The unions are laying thier workers off big time now that dues are not automaticlly deducted from workers salaries. Thier influence is waning every day now.
Time to tell the repubs in congress to put up or shut up. They control the purse strings. Do something about it.
The left’s defeat in Wisconsin is just a sign of things to come. We are currently being governed by a group of far left wing nuts (thomas are you listening?), who are under the false pretense that they are the majority. The look on their faces in November 2012 will be fun to watch.
thomas,

oh, great article with sources from the national enquirer and other “anonymous” sources.
wonderful article cluster, I am sure you are proud to be associated with such stellar reporting.
Thomas is there an idea in there? hahahahahahahaha
