I am not sure a "holding action" is prudent at the moment.
It simply holds off the inevitable and allows the enemy to retrench out of the spotlight, while encouraging the executive to go full despot.   - Of course if his results in any sort of collective sigh and people spending money again it will probably trigger massive inflation as the money velocity picks up...

We all know that they won't attempt a  Obamacare  repeal, and that a GOP controlled congress won't even take a stand against Obama's illegal executive amnesty.  No, they can't win, so why force Obama to veto stuff? ( Because it forces him to be on record vetoing stuff. you Democrat Lite go along to get along Status Quo maintaining  useless Liberal lite sociopaths..)

I went and participated in the charade this morning.  Regardless of how it turns out, the DC insiders win. Just like they always do. And all indications are that the E-GOP is prepared to seize on their likely victory not as a repudiation of the Democrats, but as a repudiation of the Tea Party / conservative wing of the GOP.

I'm sure the coming weeks and months will be filled with sound bites that make me regret voting for this sh*tpile of a party.

I'm probably going to miss this one.
I think this is the first general election I've ever missed and been voting since 1972.
Still had to be 21 then.
I have too many important things to do today.

Voting doesn't seem to be as high a priority

Well, the Progs have been infesting/stealing things in PA just like they're doing in OH and other places too, so can't blame ya.

Outside of my US Rep (Emmer should take the Bachmann seat) I am not too jazzed by the other races, nor do I see complete sacks of crap like Dayton and Franken being defeated, not even in a fair election...and other morons in the Dummies Fools & Losers party will likely win...the same old crap of scaring seniors into believing the other guys will end Medicare if they're elected (even if it has never been attempted), scaring women into the return of back alley abortions (even though it has never been attempted) or any of the other lies...

It will be a quick in and out for me...

Politics is dead, time we get to other means to this end...

Get a load of this moron!

http://washington.cbslocal.com/2014/11/04/mcconnell-this-is-a-chance-to-begin-to-save-this-country/

Save?  SAVE?!

No, idiot.  I'll tell you what you and the Weeping Carrot should do and then I'll tell you what you will do, then let's see who is up to saving what?  OK?

What you should do -

Reporter - "So, Senator McConnell, as the new Senate Majority Leader in the next Congress, what are you going to do to reach out to the President and the Democrats in Congress and work together and compromise and get things done that need to get done, like comprehensive immigration reform?"

McConnell - "Well, this election shows the American people repudiate the Obama/Democrat agenda, and in the absence of one iota of compromise by the Democrats on any issue the past eight years they've controlled the Senate and the four years they've controlled the House, so your preposition is DOA.  The democrats war of class division, failed.  The democrats war on women, failed.  The democrats rule by executive fiat, rejected.  The tolerance of this Administrations abuse and usurpation of power, repudiated.  And I would remind you...do you recall what the President said to us when we expressed our concerns and desire to work with him in our first joint budget meeting with him following his first election?"

Reporter - "Ahh, umm...I don't see where that is germaine, can we can back to your refusal to work with..."

McConnell - "No, no...you don't get to steer this debate for your pals, not this time.  I'll remind you what the President said at that meeting, he said 'I won', well, guess what, 'We won', so y'all better get lined up and come to us, it's not going to other way.  We're done here, I have a mandate to execute, good day, sir."




What will happen -

Reporter - "So, Senator McConnell, as the new Senate Majority Leader in the next Congress, what are you going to do to reach out to the President and the Democrats in Congress and work together and compromise and get things done that need to get done, like comprehensive immigration reform?"

McConnell - "Well, this election shows the American people repudiate the Obama/Democrat agenda, and in the absence of one iota of compromise by the Democrats..."

Reporter - "So you intend to shut down the government again and try to enrich your wealthy benefactors and the nation and the economy because of your hated of Obama and the Democrats and your complete indifference to everyday working people?"

McConnell - "Umm, I am not saying that, that is not right."

Reporter - "What are your intentions?  Obstruct the President, ignore the pressing issues of the day?"

McConnell - "Umm, well, no actually..."

Reporter - "So you think the American people put you in power because the want to see more rancor and partisanship?

McConnell - "Well, that's an unfair characterization.  I don't know where you're getting this stuff from?"

Yadda, yadda, yadda...blah, blah, blah...

BOHICA!!!




PS - We'll skip saving and get to starting over soon enough!

Just got back from the polls, that feeling I had as a young adult of feeling good about my participation I think has gone completely away.  It actually was more akin to "they can't blame me, it's not my fault" in the post-Reagan years (with a brief resurgence of optimism in '94) back to "not my fault!" when Pubbies choked and pretty much plateaued there until nosediving after the 2010 Tea Party was betrayed and after today I am more indifferent than ever.  Honestly, a DOA POTUS nominee in 2016 could see me punt for the first time in 38 years.

mrs. trapeze and I early voted by mail a couple of weeks ago.

I will take great pleasure in any and all Democrats who are defeated. I will take almost no pleasure at all in Republican wins because of reasons we need not discuss again. But seeing BO take hits for being a dick will be good. Seeing HRC and her male prostitute husband take hits will be nice, too.

So, generally speaking, I will be watching the returns this evening so that I can take pleasure in other people's (leftist's) misery. I would feel bad about that except that these jackasses have gone out of their way to screw with me so, tough.

FNC just called the turtle to win in Kentucky.

So that's one down.

The Virginia senate race is too close to call. That wasn't supposed to happen. It was supposed to be a walk for Warner. That's interesting.

Politico is calling both South Carolina and Kentucky as Repub wins.  N.H as partial 60% for Brown.

Yeah, that 60% Brown in NH was with 5 votes in. Now that 2% are in Shaheen is way ahead. That one could take a while to call. These are absentee votes...polls close soon.

Predicted senate win in SC for Capito (R)
AoSDD is calling Virginia for Warner (D)

Joe Trippi just made a pretty convincing case that Gillespie isn't making enough inroads into Virginia's population centers, and that he'll fall short.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

I haven't been able to get onto AoSHQ for the past hour or so. I wonder if they're under attack.

I voted a couple weeks ago. No need in pacing. Nothing about this election will change diddly squat. It's not like the GOP has any brass ones. Or has any at all.

Maybe I spoke too soon.  With 83% reporting, she's down about 42,000 votes.

NC senate could go R. Maybe.

Looks like Roberts might be a hold in KS. Maybe.

I wonder what's going to happen in AK?
