Republicans own the House, Senate, and governorship.

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.

I'll give it to Romney, he was a good governor.

Are we still not discussing delegating more power to the states in order to lessen Congress' influence over everyone?  I mean, each state might as well be its own country (especially when it comes to culture).  Part of me is glad that government will be expanding a little bit slower over the next few years, but part of me is outraged because "deregulation" is being forced on people.
Power to the states is exactly how we have been keeping gay marriage illegal in many states.

That really is a non-issue when it comes to federal over-reach.

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
It's a shame, really.
No shame in the democratic process. It's what people want.
People can be quite easily wrong.

Right and wrong depends on what the majority believes. Now, that obviously doesn't mean what's right is what's beneficial.

He was indeed, I'll give him that much. But when it came to the Presidency, he had to sprint to the far-right side to grab hold of the Religious Conservatives that have been dominating the party lately.  Barry Goldwater would be ashamed.

OT:  Apparently this mid-term have the lowest voter turnout since the 40's, and apathetic Democrats that only vote when the Presidential elections have only themselves to blame.  If you didn't vote, you have no right to bitch.

Funny enough, Scott Walker in Wisconsin could have lost his seat.  I got banned from a Conservative "Nation" on Newsvine when I said he actually LOST about a million votes this time compared to the 2012 elections.  Facts are bad.

Because Republicans simply make better governors than Democrats do. Example: I live in Massachusetts. When Romney was governor, he lowered taxes, fixed a lot of the infrastructure, and got shit done. When Deval (Dem) got elected, he sat on his ass and raised taxes all day, didn't get any shit done, gave more tax money to welfare abusers, attempted to fill my town with shitty illegal Guatemalan refugees and basically acted like Obama's bum buddy. He was an objectively shitty. Now that Charlie Baker, a Republican is elected, I expect him to lower taxes and crack down on welfare abuse. Maybe even get out infastructure fixed up too.
And I live in Ohio where our governor's only advertisement for why he should be reelected is because Ohio has gained so many jobs while he was in office, failing to address the fact that Ohio is ranked #45 in job growth. Should I now think that all Republicans are terrible governors?
