Congratulations...Bear in mind that it was MODERATE Democrats that got this win for the GOP...

Exactly. Things are not looking rosy for Obama's re-election hopes. Nobody likes his "jobs" plan either.

Lable it as you will....put it in a cubicle that makes one comfortable and happy...it is the majority finally again making it's dis-satisfaction know via the voting booth.

How about a nice general statement?

Americans have spoken at the voting booth.

The same district that over an over again re-elected the far left Charles Schumer, and then his protege, the far left Anthony Weiner? This is the district that was filled with all of these "moderates".

I've got a bridge is Brooklyn that I'd like to sell. It'd be a real money-maker and I'd sell it very cheap. Call me.

OK Ritchjie...It was gremlins...Give me a break

The Democrats have held this seat SINCE 1923!!; how about giving me a break.

They voted him in because they LIKED him
 

The people of this district knew long before Weiner's facebook stupidity that he was a CREEP:

Ritchie, I'll try and not confuse you with the truth...but the majority of that district are democrats and they are just as fed up with what's going on as the far right(YOU). That being said,the modrate dems (ME) were the ones that put a middle of the road Republican in office..first time in that district in 100 yrs...Like I said before,and you refuse to hear,if the republicans put a moderate candidate in for pres they will win hands down...

Like John McCain?

Exactly right. Amazing what you can reason, when you know history.

Yes, did the democrats select a middle of the road uninspiring candidate in 2008? They tried that with the lame Gore and the boorish Kerry. They ran an extremist who could inspire the uninformed.;)

Americans are not in the mood for candidates who say they want to go to Washington to "work well with Democrats". They want the Democrats beaten and their agenda cast aside. It's getting clearer and clearer.

Wow Ritchie...I sure see different polls than you do...I saw congress(republican /tea party led) with a much worse rating (worst in history)than obama(dismall)...so what I've seen is the public is fed up with the bickering..Maybe your Google button is broken...LOL

Yes, once we take the Senate, then the American public will see the hope and inspiration, that has been lacking the last 3 years, make a roaring comeback. The American people will once again see hope at the end of the tunnel. Business will spend again and people will gradually go back to work to pay taxes and support their families. Desperation will be replaced with real hope. People's pride will return to this great Exceptional Country.

Does it really matter whether there is an R or a D after their name? Americans are fed up with those who are not doing the job. They are fed up with those who are not doing what needs to be done to help recover America. They are fed up with the rah-rah speeches. They are fed up with promises being made and NOTHING being done to deliver on the promises.

None of the above needs to be validated by an R or a D. Incompetence is not a specific party trait...it is across the board in Washington.

The need R and D categorization is about as necessary as the license plate on the back of the car (something that is renewable periodically but of not much use the rest of the time!!!)

When I went to the first Tea Party in my area, nobody talked about either party. Pragmatic is the word to describe them. We started a web site and thousands sent in their own video with everybody saying "I am the Tea Party Leader"
Yes, my wife did a few takes of me saying "I am the Tea Party Leader." and I posted it. The message was that we were not affiliated with any party and we were all the Leaders.

Of course I check for links and info on Google. Since when is that unbecoming? It's probably the main reason I, and not you, makes sense I guess.

I don't need to google it...I go there and see it first hand (tea party meetings in PA governor race and congressional race when it,TP,was small) , I actually worked during the last presidentil election(Philly) doing cold calls from a candidates hq), really tough job and you heard EVERY opinion out there..That's the difference..I don't "hear" it from someone else...Or listen to a "talking head" give me their opinion..First hand is the way to go..And I watch fox as much as msnbc and PBS...Opinions are like lower anatomy parts,everbody has one..Collect all the facts by asking "why" and then form your own, based on your core beliefs/morality/scruples..Judge by what they do, not what they say, and always remember comprimise is the only way,or the Majority will put in place what you don't like..that's the way our government works.

Some things are right and some things are wrong. You don't compramise with wrong nor do you compromise with evil. You defeat it.

Glad you have so much time available to go everywhere and be everywhere. Do you have a human transporter like on the Starship Enterprise. Is Scotty beaming you everywhere instantaneously? Must be awesome!:blahblahblah:

I didn't know internet research into the news was discredited. The things you learn on TOTV:shocked:

Internet reearch is only discredited when it is Slanted...No, I've been retired for 5 yrs and that is where I got the "time"..Being involved is a way of paying back...

Oh, you're views show no evidence of any ideology or slant :a20:

:agree: ...and others have also-

Declaration of Independence...."That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Gettysburg Address..."and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
