This wouldn't have happened had the GOP not chose a LIBERAL (not even moderate) Republican to run for that seat. If they had at least chose a moderate, many Repubs would have sucked it up and voted for that person, but everything has a limit, Dede is a flaming Liberal.

Red, lets say its all because of national politics then. New York will stay Blue and VA + NJ will be red states. I'll take that!

If the Conservatives want to continue to fracture the Republican Party, I say More Power To Them!!!

Keep up the good work Tea Baggers.

take it however you'd like. just make sure you gird your loins for 2010. dems are gonna be thumped.

Manypaths, the reason why the Dems lost in Virgina, according to some in your side, is that the Gov candidate wasn't Liberal enough. I seems to me there is a great divide in your party too.

Yup, exactly.

When you win, it's because of obama, but when you lose, it's not because of obama.

Got it.

Unfortunately that makes about as much sense as saying Americans are right of center because they elected a republican majority, but when they elect a center left majority its because they are "right of center".

Like I said, you just can't make this goofy shit up!

Whatever makes you fell better about yourself.

Which is it this week? Dems marching in lockstep or divided. You guys are so silly when you jump all over the place in your arguments against the Majority Party.

And as far as Congressional Elections, the Dems just went 2 for 2. I thought you guys were trying to gain seats not lose even more of them.

Strange I tell ya.........

"...gird your loins for 2010. dems are gonna be thumped." Just ask President McCain. He'll tell you. If the Repubs stop health care, they are deader than Richard Nixon, herm

Herm, you are clearly out of touch. I suggest you stop listening to MSNBC.

"Manypaths, the reason why the Dems lost in Virgina, according to some in your side, is that the Gov candidate wasn't Liberal enough."

Umm, take from an actual Virginian who actualy saw it go down; he lost because he ran a real shitty campaign.

McDonnell however did a great job of running to the center, running away from pat robertson and refusing to let newt gingivitis, rush libough, sean "the ewok" hannity and sara palin into the state to stump on his behalf.

Ah, and who would have expected Dick Armey to throw his own candidate under the bus when he loses?

Anyone that ever had the misfortune to know Dick Armey.

Hey, maybe the Teabaggers should change their name?

Dick's Army.

Any election is a win/win for the Democrats.

"Dick's Army" - CORKY
Larry Craig, Staff Sargeant, reporting for duty.

Or, an Army of Dicks.

It ain't the Republicans stopping health care HERM. But of course, as usual, your deaf as well as dumb.

The libtards have the votes without the Republicans - (enter your favorite derrogative comment towards HERM here).

It is so much better when Pelosi says "We won!!!" after losing the governor races, isn't it!

She is the speaker of the house and was talking about elections for the House.

Dems went 2 for 2 in those elections idiot.

Sometimes I think you're just trying to be silly, but in reality I just think you're stupid.

shhhhhhhh! you're not supposed to say anything about this.

I know -------- they should revive the talk of the "Nuclear Option".

Can you imagine the hilarity of hearing all those Pundits and Politicians who supported it then reverse course, or in other words "Flip-Flop" into opposition!

Talk about Poetic Justice!

yep. never understood who the party in power even talks about a "Nuclear Option." Does that mean, even though your party controls most branches of government, you won't do what you think is right unless the other side has some skin in the game?

Sounds like either: (1) you've got a bunch of pussies in your party (and I say that of Republicans too when they were so limp-wristed on this); or (2) you've got some folks who ain't so sure about the agenda.

Either way HERM's comment is a scream.

"Sounds like either: (1) you've got a bunch of pussies in your party (and I say that of Republicans too when they were so limp-wristed on this); or (2) you've got some folks who ain't so sure about the agenda."

YEAH!

Sounds like: (1) you prefer a dictatorship and (2) you don't know what Democracy is.

hmmm democracy is where the majority actually leads...

you're thinking of decision by consensus - which never works. but, keep going with that.

"Armey, the former House GOP majority leader, noted that Democrats had seized on Hoffman's inability to address local concerns. "The fact of the matter is, he didn't pay enough attention to the local concerns, and they were able to tag him as being unaware of the local needs and concerns," Armey said."

Isn't this the same guy who just a week or two ago defended Hoffman's inability to answer questions about local issues as irrelevant and "parochial"?

"you're thinking of decision by consensus - which never works"

Sure ------ just ask any successful and prosperous partnership!

Sheesh!

Great, give me a majority with the balls to not swallow whatever the leadership gives them any day.

This wouldn't have happened had the GOP not chose a LIBERAL (not even moderate) Republican to run for that seat.

If the teabaggers hadn't intervened, the 23rd would still be Republican. She was leading the Dem until hoffman screwed it all up.

Ti the barricades, teabaggers, there are still safe GOP seats to lose!
