But already the dissatisfaction is growing...
Starboard is not optimistic:
As much as I enjoyed the sweeping win last night, the sad reality is that the GOP is what it is. My expectations are extremely low.Lake Living is also wrapping himself in numbing cynicism:
John McCain will be soiling himself to reach across the aisle and John Boehner will cry himself to death (we hope) begging Dems to compromise with him. They finally have what they wanted... the power to expand Big Gov. their way. I can’t wait. /sMissouri gal is why the January party leadership votes will be fun:
Is it too much to hope the new pubbie majority will put somebody besides Mitch in control of the senate? McConnell sounds sad that the Republicans won. And ditto for Boehner.elcid1970 is one of many super into Ted Cruz:
I only hope that Ted Cruz starts gnawing on Mitch’s leg like a bulldog/pit bull mix.School of Rational Thought - non-conservatives love to lose:
On a daily basis.
Everyone needs to get behind Cruz.1Old Pro laments that politicians are political, except for liberals...?
When the RINOs win their natural inclination is to emulate the Democrats by losing.
MOST elected officials stnd for only one thing - re-election. They don’t want to govern, they want status quo.Adorably, Envisioning wants stronger voter turnout.
That’s where libs win, they actually enact their policies even if they are bad and even if voters repudiate them and elect the GOP, who do NOTHING.
The good guys won this one but the tight margins in many of these races mean that there are STILL large pockets of diehard Democrats who STILL DON’T GET IT!!AFret. joins Nader voters in solidarity:
There are HUGE pockets of people who didn't even vote, most likely a fair percentage of conservatives.....
The turnout in Texas was pitiful......don't get me wrong, I like the outcome, but we have got to find a way to get people to the polls in mass.....
Yeah, they ARE sad.dfwgator has put a lot of thought into this:
Because we/America now
EXPECT/S THEM TO DO SOMETHING.

As I said last night, there is not a dime’s bit of difference between the two “parties”...yawn.
You can’t fix stupid, and ObamaCare is stupid.
After six years, the right wing blog-o-sphere (including FR) is growing rather weary of the same old anti-Obama lines being repeated over and over.
ReplyDeleteel-Rushbo, Glenn Beck, the jimcompoop, and all that ilk are going to spend the next two years going into hysterics over the "GOP-e". I really think that Obama is going to catch a break in his lame duck status.
I agree - a rare happening!
DeleteEvery talking point wears out over time. You just tune them out completely which is no good for the ones trying to sell you something. Later it pisses you off.
Most of the right wing blogosphere will, as you say, settle down to the endless navel gazing that is the "purer than thou" contest they find endlessly fascinating. After all, being negative is easy. Being positive is hard. And there is a new force in town for the purity harpies to criticise - people like Mia Love, Joni Ernst, Tom Cotton who are young, experienced outside of the rather narrow bubble most members of Congress seem to come from, and who aren't going to do things the way the "my way or the highway" crowd are going to like.
At least I hope so!
