Are the Liberal Pukes in Washington listening now? LOL


November 4, 2:49 AMSan Diego City Buzz ExaminerJonathan Harris
"Tuesday's election results: A wake-up call to Democrats?"

Is this the beginning of the end for Democrats? It is if you ask Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele. Steele said of Tuesday’s election results, "It sends a clear signal that voters have had enough of the president's liberal agenda."

I don’t know if I’d go that far Mr. Steele, see, the majority of the victories Tuesday night belonged to Democrats including Bill Owens’ win in New York’s 23rd congressional district, an office that no Republican has lost in over a century. Also,
according to CNN, a majority of New Jersey voters said President Obama had no effect on their vote.

What Tuesday night's election results do show however, is the Republican party isnt quite as dead as recent media reports would lead the electorate to believe and that Democrats need to unify as a party and stay focused if they want to maintain the momentum and the majorities they've built.

The first Republican victory of the night occurred in Virginia and belonged to Bob McDonnell. McDonnell became is Virginia’s first Republican Governor in 8 years. He won with 59% of the votes to Democrat, Creigh Deeds’ 41%. Many pointed to Barack Obama's win in Virginia a year ago as a sure sign of victory for a Democrat. They neglect to realize Barack Obama was the first Democratic Presidential candidate to win Virginia in 44 years.

The second and final Republican victory of the night took place in New Jersey and went to Chris Christie. Christie won with 49% of the vote to Democrat, John Corzine’s 45%. President Barack Obama came out to personally rally for Corzine and at one rally attempted to remind voters that this economic crisis, which wass key to many voters, “didn’t start on Jon’s watch."

Here are Tuesday’s full election results according to
CBS News:

I hope this is a joke. I just woke up and took my meds--so I'm having trouble determining if this is supposed to be serious.

A big whoppin 2 (that's TWO) republican victories--and that is supposed to be a wake-up call?? Virginia has pretty much ALWAYS voted republican---44 of the past 52 yrs, according to the article

This article is bullshit (or a total joke). Anyone who finds this information relevant is chomping at the bit. (And some people will/are)

If the article is supposed to be serious--that would make it even more funny than if it were intended as a joke

Please tell me if this is really supposed to rally the GOP--if so, I'm dying laughing

NY-23 is weird:
Basicly the local GOP backed a Liberal Republican.
So about 4-5 weeks ago a third party canidate said he was gonna run.
He ran as a so-called "conservative" party.
Thus spliting the Republican vote.
The Liberal Republican backed out and supported the DEMOCRAT!
Thus showing the Republican Party rank and file that Party comes before principle.
So its one more liberal congress-critter big deal.
The real lessen here is a Liberal Republican will be opposed by its own base.
Check out this link and look at the hate coming from Palinites against Newt supporting the Liberal Republican.
http://newt.org/tabid/193/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/4629/I-Am-Endorsing-Doug-Hoffman.aspx
Read the Comments, LOL.

Michael Steele can Shut his MF Mouth.
He ain't running shit.
He had better get with the MF program or the GOP will continue to lose.
Because at this point the Base of the party
would rather hand a Liberal Democrat the seat then a Liberal Republican.

Really what you have is a void waiting for a "Great Communicater"
to show up and explain again why conservatism is superior.
These People Vote for principle not party.
So The GOP is gonna need one hell of a Principled Guy, IMO.

This was an off year election that is why the sweep is so important.
2010 will be telling.

its sad to see newt lose his way like he has over the past several years. his said some real boneheaded things and teamed up with people who would rather see all conservatives die. he has a really confusing message these days. but hey, someone will step up. and i still wouldnt count palin out. she makes big waves wherever she appears and her message is right on in my opinion.

man look at history and Virginia is not a surprise...Corzine in New Jersey that guy deserved to lose ( damn wall street man ) ..what you really should pay attention to is New York and Cali..seems like Republican lost two seats in the house one in New York and one in Cali...Guess what that affects us on a national level..I don't live in Virginia nor New Jersey so could care less about that..I do care who wins in the house and senate and yesterday the Dem got two more seats in the house...Congress is where changes are made and voted on, so wake up call ????? I guess they have to grab at anything....Lets get ready for 2010 and then we will see if Dems need a wake up call..for now hell we got two more seats in the house
