Enough is enough!

With results still coming in, the full extent of the Republican takeover of the 435-member House was still to be determined. But CNN projected that Republicans would win at least 60 more House seats than they currently hold to wipe out the Democratic majority of the past four years.

Republicans are on track for the biggest House pickup by any major party since 1948.

It is also the largest number of House pickups since Democrats picked up 75 seats in 1948.

Amen Buckwheat. Now we will just have an even larger partisan, name-calling, do nothing, cover your own azz 2 years. Used to be that being a politician was a noble profession. HA! I don't trust any of those morons. Any time a Pelosi or a Palin or a Reid or a Boehner are considered our "leaders"??? This is getting to be one scary country.

I disagree. I believe that those voted in under the Tea Party banner have an obligation not to get sucked into the system. If they can maintain the aura of which they were elected under then the system douches itself of the decrepit worthless leeches and we start seeing a government of the people for the people.

Might be naive, but I'd really like to believe that.

That's what's WRONG...it was NEVER designed to be a profession. It was considered an honor to serve and then you went back to private life.

Not naive, just optimistic. I have very little faith in politicians.

Massachistaxachusetts:
Ballot quesiton #3 to knock state sales tax down from 6.25% to 3% (Yes = lower tax)
DEFEATED 57/43

10 US Congr districts, 9 Dem incumbents 1 seat vacant due to retirement
RESULT:
9 D incumbent victors,
1 new Dem congressman

Governor:
D incumbent,who raised taxes numerous times, argues in favor of in-state tuition rates for illegal aliens (but not me, cuz I only pay income taxes to the friggen state!)
etc, etc,
running against a viable R candidate and an "I " (former D state treasurer - Thanks for the help jackwad!)
RESULT:
2nd term

State Treasuror = D
Sect State = D
Atty Gen = D

I AM SURROUNDED BY FRIGGIN IDIOTS!!!
Couldn't even get it together to give themselves a 3% break on sales tax!

On a brighter note, though, I think NH businesses can now safely use any measure they can think of to charge Massholes more than anyone else.
After all, it's clearly what they want.

These people have NO IDEA what their state legislature is now going to try to do to them!

First off, the Rep & the Tea Partiers have to get along (good luck with that), so what do you think the odds are that the Reps & the Dems are going to work TOGETHER to actually get something positive done for US?????Brick wall

What we have here in Taxholechew****z is a state that has passed the tipping point. The majority of voters now feeds at the trough....they are either employed by the gubment or a union, or they are on welfare, or they suck off the taxpayer to fund their Section 8 housing projects etc. So now they get to screw us taxpayers who pay their way through life at every vote. CA is headed in the same direction.

Can't say this enough: what the newly elected Republicans very much need to realize now is, we didn't send them to Washington and our respective state capitols to 'go along and get along' with runaway Big Government and an avalanche of spending.

Let me know how that works out for ya...Clean out the whole bunch of them and start over...if there can't be some amount of bi-partisan cooperation up there, nothing will get done, that is the reality. I don't care who has the majority.

You are absolutley right! unfortunately, our system has deteriorated so far and is so corrupt that we will never again see honest hard working people in public office at the national level. We now have the term "career politician" and that is exactly what is killing this country.
