1. Liberal control of the media and academics
2. Voter fraud
3. Our country dominated mostly by takers and stupid people

It defies logic. How did this happen?

People vote by their checkbooks. Financial pain calls for drastic action.

This is a dumb post.

1. This is true. To deny that media members are largely liberal and academia is liberal would be asinine.

2. Voter fraud exists but rarely changes results.

3. Well this is undoubtedly true. But plenty of these people vote GOP.

1. Low turnout
2. Things have finally gotten so bad that the media is struggling to spin things positively.
3. Minorities, youth, and single women rarely show up for mid-terms, allowing republicans to generally have the advantage.
4. It's the economy

takes some degree of effort and competency, so yea, there was fraud, but your crowd is largely incompetent and reliant on someone else to do everything for them, including cheat.

It was a midterm election and democrats are lazy and only think voting for the pres-o-dent matters. They are going to dominate the next election though.

The stupids don't vote during the mid term, and generally everyone in the country that voted is tired of Obama and the left's direction they are taking us.

Your post isn't as clever as you think it is. Quit patting yourself on the back for a job well done.

Honestly, Americans are pissed off at all politicians right now.

BHO is seen as the head of the country, so his party caught the most blow back for it.

If there were a viable third party, we may have been throwing D's AND R's out of office.

Maybe Republicans learned how to do this? Oh, I forget, only Democrats are cheaters.

Funny how fast this meme reversed overnight. It went from "Americans are idiot sheeple to the left" to "The people have spoken".

As aptly pointed out by Dem pundits, roughly 2/3 of the electorate did not vote in the midterm elections while a disproportionate number of Obama opponents did vote. Obama was correct; he wasn't on the ballot for midterm elections but his policies absolutely were. You can bet your sweet bippie that a compliant liberal news media and members of the Dem ground team will trumpet the low turnout in the midterms as a rallying cry to energize their supporters in 2015.

1. Liberal control of the media and academics

No one ever said all media and academics were under liberal control.

2. Voter fraud

Happens every election somewhere.


3. Our country dominated mostly by takers and stupid people

We are dominated by a free and hard working people.
But the takers that vote and the level of stupidity is rising.

Nice try. Go with a different angle next time. This one was kinda weak.

Your number one is real and if you can't admit to it you're dishonest.

Your number two happens but I suspect not in a large enough number to screw things up.


As for three, this was a midterm, the takers and stupid usually stay home. As someone posted last week, the midterm voter is generally more educated, wealthier and more informed than the presidential election voter.

Plus many republicans moving to Libertarian.

It goes to show how stupid liberal policies are and how partisan and unamerican they have been. Harry Reid are Nancy Pelosi have been blinded by power.

Just think how big of a defeat it would have been had the above not been true? There may not be a democrat left in Washington because of Obama, Reid and Pelosi, et al.
