Sarah lost another election for a Republican?

She's just too much! I'm really starting to enjoy her ineptitude.

ACORN? Someone said ACORN?

Care to tell me why I should concern myself, or anyone concern themselves with something called ACORN?

I'm still all ears and will be as upset with ACORN as you can possibly justify.

Please? Why should I care about ACORN? Why?

The real story here is NOT the failure of Palin/Beck instead it is the growing power of the "Tea Party" movement.

You mean the same movement that just lost a seat that a Dem hasn't won in over 100 years?

That movement?

You go girl!!!!!!

This was the voice of the electorate speaking

Right, and the tea baggers lost BIG TIME.

Historical Patterns? You want to talk about Historical Patterns?

In 2008, 1 fucking year ago, Republicans won this District 65% - 34%

You bring in the tea baggers, and the republicans lose 20% of the voters.

Go TeaBaggers Go!!!!!

This wasn't a referendum on Obama as much as it was a referendum AGAINST the Conservative arm of the Republican Party.

What else caused them to lose 20% of the voters that they had just a year ago?

pwnd

Come on Corky, they will claim a victory over this.

They will spin their involvement was a good thing.

They will try to spin that alienating 20% of republican voters is some how a good thing.

Watch!

Horseshit. The only reason a Dem won was because those people rejected a Conservative.

Historical Trends and all.

The last time this district had a Conservative on the ballot along with a Republican, the Democrat got 18% of the votes. 9 years ago.

Gee Sarah, what happened this time? This is a huge blow to Conservatives and their tea bags.

None of the other elections involved a change of seat that hadn't changed in over 100 years.

The other elections went about the same way those elections go. This one? HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

The Republicans lost this seat?!?!?!?! They lost another seat, and one they have had for over 100 years?!?!?!?!?

How in the hell did that happen?

well, the voters REJECTED the Conservative and gave the seat to a Dem instead for the first time in over a century.

The other races last night, those seats go back and forth between the parties all the time.

But to lose a seat that has been RED for over 100 years is something. It really speaks towards the direction the voters want to see thhis country move and it isn't Right.

Member needs to go get his ass handed to him on the Rush Said thread..........

It was you folks who said this race was a big deal. It was you guys who were saying that Dems would dismiss the reuslts of this election.

Now look at you. You are what Rush said we would be.

Ha Ha. The Conservative movement just shot a seat off of the Republican Party.

I would say that this race DID have a primary.

The Conservative attacked the Republican.

The Conservative won that battle.

Then the Conservative lost the seat to a Dem for the first time in over 100 years.

They REJECTED Beck, Palin, Gingrinch, Rush and the entire Conservative movement resoundingly. The Republicans in that district looked at them and their teabagging mobs and said "NO!"

Just a question, Are Christie and/or McDonnell considered staunch Conservatives?

Or are they just Republicans?

the fact that an outright leftist was purged from its ranks is probably a good thing for the party, moving forward.

Well, yeah, as long as you enjoy losing elections. The attempt to take over the Republican Party by ultra conservatives is failing. Not because of 'lefties' but because of sensible Republicans.

and focus on being a party of fiscal responsibility, limited government, fewer government regs and intrusions into the economy, etc

That's pretty much how the 2 Rep. Gov. that won last night ran right?

I agree.

Who's gonna notice?

The people who will benefit from Public Healthcare!

Agreed. Republicans running on local issues won a couple of elections last not.

The Ideological Conservatives lost theirs.

See? Someone gets it!

How many Congressional Elections were held last night?

The headline for this thread should be:

Democrats Continue Their Congressional Election Domination

She wouldn't dare to raise her ugly head in here.

The final bill won't be what Pelosi put up.

You guys are aware of how this process works right?

But one thing is for sure about the HC bill.

Doug Hoffman won't have a God damn thing to do with it.

#118 | Posted by afkabl2

Maybe you should go back and look at the issues the ran on.

How did the Congressional Elections go last night? The one that had to do with National Politics?

Yes, Republicans won some elections last night focusing on local issues. The election with National implications was a SHOCKING defeat to the GOP in a district that they NEVER worried about before.

It was a very telling night on the National level.

The Tea Baggers caused the Republican party to lose 20% of it's voters in this district. Republicans have won this district by landslides for 100 years.

The tea baggers get involved, they lose.

Why you think that is a postive only shows how out of touch with reality you are.

Right OC, the bill will change. You start with by putting everything in it and you negotiate from there.

I thought you knew how the process worked. I guess I was wrong.

Say what you want but Democrats continue their domination of Congressional Elections.

You can't deny it.

See, Bush Lover claims that the Republicans are going to take back the Congress.

Well, the reality is they just lost yet another seat.

There is a thread about the Gov elections.

This one is about the election involving a seat the Republicans have held for over 100 years and lost.

Jersey has had 18 Rep. Governors and 22 Dem. Governors in the last 160 years.

How about this NY seat?

There was one race last night with national implications.

The Dems won that race.

The End!

that was the only race last night that mattered anywhere.......

Does making stuff up make you feel better about yourself?

Yes, the other races matter to the people in those states. Those Republicans ran on local issues and they won their elections. They didn't run on National issues like the Conservatives did in NY.

Where the conservatives made the election about national politics and brought in their heaciest hitters, they lost a seat that the GOP would never have thought they would lose.

Again, there was one election last night that was about national issues, and the Conservative movement got its ass handed to them in it.

#150 | Posted by jestgettinalong

huh? Are you saying the Gov of NJ has National implications? Really? Is that what you think?

They campaigned because they are members of the same party. It's what they do.

So I am somehow off base for discussing the topic of this thread?

How does that work?

Sarah Palin stands ready to stump for the Republican gubernatorial candidates running in the two most closely watched campaigns in the country this fall, but neither seems to want her help.

"No," is all Christie spokeswoman Maria Comella would say when asked if they had invited Palin.

Pressed as to why, Comella pointed to comments Christie had made earlier this summer about wanting to keep the race focused on New Jersey issues and especially the tenure of Gov. Jon Corzine.

The Republicans that refused to allow the Conservatives to take over their party did well last night.

The Conservatives themselves took a beating in NY.

And that is the way it happened.

Rasmussen is the MOST accurate.

#158 | Posted by jestgettinalong

Not as accurate as Election Results.

Scoreboard Bitch!!!

"I think it's Gloria Borger in the audio sound bite roster saying that Republicans are driving independents out of their party.

It's just the opposite. Independents are flocking to these Republicans in these races! It's just the opposite of that they're gonna cast New York-23 as unimportant, of little consequence"

That's what you get when you listen to fat stupid people folks!

"Flocking To These Republicans" huh?

The reality is they ran away faster than you could say Oxycotin, mother fucker........

But their success in Tuesday's upstate New York special election, where grass-roots efforts pushed GOP nominee Dede Scozzafava to drop out of the race and helped Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman surge into the lead on the eve of Election Day, has generated more money and enthusiasm than organizers ever imagined.

Ha ha. Guess what teabaggers? You fucking lost. Not only did you lose, the GOP lost BECAUSE of you.

RUSH: Okay. Now, let's start again here on this so I don't have to interrupt myself on the importance of New York-23, because this is a turning point, and, in fact, there are stories throughout the State-Controlled Media today -- got one here, the LA Times:

"Conservatives Emboldened by Moves in New York Election." There are conservative candidates popping up all over the country who are going to challenge incumbent Republicans in House races. I've read about 10 or 12 of them are going to happen now. This New York-23 is big, it is a turning point, and it is precisely why the media and everybody is trying to portray it as nothing more than the Republicans falling apart, having big unity problems and so forth. I'll tell you what, the moderate Republican, the Rockefeller gang, they're just as worried about New York-23 as the Democrats are.

This is where conservative Americans are drawing the line. New York-23. This is where we are fighting, this is where we will take a stand against both the liberal wing of the Republican Party and Obama and the Democrat Party.

And should Hoffman win, as I think he will, his campaign is gonna give confidence and energy to scores of others across this country where momentum will grow right up to next year's election. So that's the truth of New York-23.

You fought. You lost. BIG TIME. THIS is where Conservatives are drawing the line. This is the TURNING POINT.

Well guess fucking what?

How'd that work out for you last night champ?

The Democrat won. Maybe you missed it.

Oh and "Too Funny" is right.

Is he always as stupid as he displayed above?

The turning point was NY 23.

Where the Conservatives lost a previously unattainable seat for the Dems.

That is where the Cons were fighting. In NJ and VA, the Conservatives were turned away by the Republicans that won.

Yes, the Republican party won some State seats last night, but where the Conservatives were fighting, where they called the turning point, the only Congressional election, they lost and lost badly.

Big Picture?

The Democrats gained yet another seat in Congress.

Don't forget to include that in your Big Picture.

The White House distanced itself Wednesday from Democratic losses in two states, saying the races for governor hinged on local issues and were not a referendum on President Barack Obama.

Yep, pretty much what I have been saying.

Governors don't have anything to do with the HC debate in Congress. House members on the other hand do.

NY23 was the fight that the Conservatives pinned their hopes on. It was BIG to them. It was the Turning Point to them.

Well, they ended up giving the seat to a Dem for the first time in over 100 years. They got their Conservative asses handed to them in the battle THEY called their Turning Point.

But where the Republicans asked these far rightwing neocons to butt out and stay at home, and focused on local issues they did very well. For a party fighting for an identity, last night proved one thing, the conservatives damage the party and aren't welcome to a majority of Republicans. Not only do Democrats shun these Rush Limbaugh Conservatives, now the Republicans are doing it as well. What happened in NY last night can be called the Conservative Death Cry.

If you are asking whether I think the Republican would have won if the neocons had stayed out of it, then yes, I do think the GOP candidate would have won and won easily.

But the Conservatives got involved and they were rejected soundly.

And that's my point. Republicans are alive and well, but these Beck Conservatives and Sarah Palin toe suckers eat their own and last night proved it. If you don't see the damage these extremists do to the GOP then you need you eyes checked.

Again, the Republicans did well last night.

The Conservatives got their asses kicked.

Ohio State beating a High School team in an exhibition game.

Kind of. If Ohio St hadn't won a game there in over 10 years.

This isn't the first time a Conservative was on the ballot in this district. It is the first time one was defeated by a Dem.

But that isn't the point. The Conservative Movement called this the Big Race. The Turning Point. This was the race that they were fighting. No other.

Well, they fought and lost.

And today was supposed to be the day were the Dems would say that the NY23 race didn't matter.

Well, look at YOU now.

MCConnell twice refused to have SARAH!! campaign for him and won, Hoffman was the whackjob's carpetbagging meatpuppet and lost a solidly Republican seat.

And that is the point. Conservatives have proven to harm Republicans and when Republicans are harmed, Democrats win.

Thanks again Sarah!

How many times did the Conservative party candidate on the ballot get more votes than the Democrat? I am going to get all mavericky here and guess.... NEVER. if a conservative party candidate recieved more votes than the democratic candidate you would have had one in office by now.

#192 | Posted by ABH

US House election, 2000: New York District 23

Republican Sherwood Boehlert 124,132 60.5 -20.3
Conservative David Vickers 42,854 20.9 +1.7
Democratic Richard W. Englebrecht 38,049 18.6 +18.6

Don't go away mad, just go away wrong.

"This New York-23 is big, it is a turning point, and it is precisely why the media and everybody is trying to portray it as nothing more than the Republicans falling apart, having big unity problems and so forth. I'll tell you what, the moderate Republican, the Rockefeller gang, they're just as worried about New York-23 as the Democrats are."

Can you guess who said that?

Man, this is like swatting flies......who is going to be next?

I'm talking shit about the Conservatives and how they screwed the Republicans.

I am not confusing the 2.

The Conservatives thought this was going to be their turning point. This was their race.

They lost.

The Republicans that kept their distance from these wackjobs did well.

And it looks like Conservatives are going to screw the Republicans in a dozen more races next fall.

If I was a Republican, I would be worried about the Conservatives screwing them out of more seats.

How many times did the Conservative party candidate on the ballot get more votes than the Democrat? I am going to get all mavericky here and guess.... NEVER. if a conservative party candidate recieved more votes than the democratic candidate you would have had one in office by now.

So Mavericky must mean you stick your head up your ass and fart in english?

RUSH: Okay. Now, let's start again here on this so I don't have to interrupt myself on the importance of New York-23, because this is a turning point

This is where conservative Americans are drawing the line. New York-23. This is where we are fighting, this is where we will take a stand against both the liberal wing of the Republican Party and Obama and the Democrat Party.

Just following up on the big deal the Conservatives made over this. They drew the line.

There have been C's on the ballot before.

The last time a C was on the ballot, they did better than the Democrat.

But in this self-proclaimed "Turning Point" for the Conservative movement, they failed and looked stupid doing so.

and another who has to resort to pornography to insult millions..too bad,.

That's one sick mindset you got there Bush Lover. Or is it George Fucker?
