What this country needs more than anything is honest politicians and informed voters.—- oh shit.—- WE ARE DOOMED.
We need more of what we got Nov.4. TOTAL Repudiation of FAILURE by the Democrat Party, and more whining by liberal sycophants like FITS…
With one more election we can TOTALLY Transform this country BACK to a semblance of decency and law.
You don’t know much about the rest of country. Heck, you probably don’t know much about anything beyond the little room your computer is in.
Ever hear of Iowa, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Florida, Alaska, Ohio, Utah, Illinois, Texas????…..They all went to the GOP.
And yet, no Republican will win the Presidency in 2016. Funny how that works. Remember 1996, remember 2008, remember 2012. Of course you don’t. This election was most likely the last gasp for the white conservative Republican vote. Using unsubstantiated fear as a motivator for your base can only work for so long. Especially when that base is dying off without much to replace it. Don’t let the mindset you foster in this echo chamber get SC confused with the rest of the country.
Who do you see the Republicans winning the Presidency in 2016 with?
Whoever they nominate.
Yes indeed. In the past 6 years (since Obama was elected), Republicans have picked-up:
11 senate seats
72 house seats
9 governorships
control of a majority of state legislatures-picked-up over 1400 seats in those state legislatures-2 of 10 seats in 6 years!!!
Need the White House to reverse his judicial appointments.
Won’t change a fucking thing
You are living in La-la land!!!!!
fuck both Republicans and Democrats equally is what I say!!!!
No party has done jack shit is 30 years except kick the can down the road
It is the equivalent of saying “I promise to just put the head in”!!!
Neither political party is worth a bucket of warm spit as they stand now!!!!
Any actual names? Not trying to knock the Repblicans, but surely they have some one waiting in the wings.
I can name 10.
How about Democrats? Won’t be Hillary. She has a brain injury and will never recover from her surgery.
Joe Biden? LMAO.
Not interested in Hillary or the Dems in general. Just looking for one Rep name. Why is that so hard? Not a good sign.
If you don’t already know, you likely need to be reading another – more elementary – source than me.
What you got on November 4 was 39% turnout in SC. Don’t be stupid enough to assume that will be the case in 2016.
We may pass a law and not allow liberals to vote in 2016.
Fuck hard right Republicans and hard left Democrats equally is what I say!!!!!!
Independent is the only way!!!!!
You LOST. Shut up and GET OVER IT….
And Obama is still president. Bwaaahaaaahaaa. Get over it.
Obamacare until 2017. (At least!) :)
Hmmm… No mention of the unlimited cash flowing to campaigns as a result of the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United. Simple oversight? You decide.
Add in the lack of confidence in “faith-based voting” where ballots are cast on unverifiable and unrecountable touch-screen systems. does anyone not suspect just a little bit that Alvin Greene didn’t really get that many votes? Sure was beneficial for DeMint, eh?
Don’t look now but I think black helicopter is hovering over your crib…
You are a total Dumb@$$…and I’m so glad you got slapped down last week…
No mention of the unlimited cash flowing to campaigns as a result of the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United.
You should listen to these Cato CDs. Nothing wrong with unlimited money from corporate interests in politics. Nope. Who cares if Cato is funded by those very same corporate interests? I’m confident they’ve got no bias.
Here in Colorado we had ballots mailed to us a couple of weeks before Election Day that could be returned by mail, drop box or in person. This was the most pleasant voting experience I ever had. Maybe even to first time I’ve voted in a mid term election. Every state should look into adopting this model.
What this county needs is a good five cent cigar.

Fits political analysts is the greatest. Will is always right.
Glad to see you finally on board.
How is voter apathy cured by making election day a federal holiday?
If I don’t care to vote, and then election day is made it a federal holiday….I still don’t care to vote. If voter options suck, how is making election day a federal holiday going to enhance voter options?
Give them the day off and they’ll probably spend the day at home in their boxers, munching on Cheetos and watching The Price is Right.
Democracy wins!
Want to increase participation – let us vote from home online. Period.
Wait, wait wait….no one REALLY wants to increase turnout. It is just something to bitch about. Your idea would actually increase turnout.
You’re missing the much bigger story: Kim Kardashian bared her booty yesterday!!!
There was nobody to vote for. First time in my life I have not voted. Hey at least with the Repubs you know nothing will happen cause they don’t do anything.
“America isn’t a Democracy its a Republic.”
What a absolutely dumb statement. If I hear that one more time I think I will go nuts. Do they print that on stickers sold by Glen Beck?
WE ARE A DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC. How little the tea nut types know about our constitution, history, and government never ceases to amaze me.
Democratic Republic – a country that is both a republic and a democracy. It is one where ultimate authority and power is derived from the citizens, and the government itself is run through elected officials.
Dumbass. That is defined as a ‘REPRESENTATIVE’ government.
No wonder you liberal/socialist fuckers can’t win elections anymore.
He probably thinks that “black” can be “white” too.
Could you teanuts bother to even look up things before you respond. You are wrong, but just sit there and be wrong in your wrongness. It confirms my belief you know nothing about government. You just make crap up as you go along.
Keep buying those bumper sticker. Glenn Beck needs the money now that he has admitted he’s crazy.
Go you people are dumb as dirt.
First, I agree that many elections don’t really present a good choice. Yes, we can get whipped up over one or two issues, but every other issue is locked down by the establishment no matter which way we vote.
Second, low voter participation is the goal of the Republicans. The majority of Americans vote for Democrats. In fact, in 2012, Democrats won more votes than Republicans for the House of Representatives. Only gerrymandering kept Republicans in control. The simple fact is when more Americans vote, Democrats do better.
Only one of the two parties wants more voters to turn out.
Once again:
Been a PROUD “voting every opportunity I get” Independent since 1971!!
Feels good to be ahead of the CURVE!!!!!
As “Curly Bill” said in “Tombstone”: I feel CAPITAL!!!!!
Fuck a bunch of hard right Republicans and hard left Liberals equally is what i say!!!!!
Both sides of the spectrum have their collective heads so far up their asses they will never see the light of day!!!!
Nor do they deserve to!!!!!!
