From the GREAT STATE OF MAINE...

The Morning After

First and foremost, we must congratulate some of the Democratic winners, names both old and new: Patrick Leahy and Chris Coons. Chuck Schumer and Dick Blumenthal. Kirsten Gillibrand and Barbara Mikulski. Jim Gray, the new and openly-gay mayor of Lexington Kentucky, Governor John Lynch of New Hampshire, the gay-marriage-into-law-signer who won reelection, and good ol' Barney Frank. Andrew Cuomo defeated the porn-forwarding homophobe with anger issues (I forget his name already) in New York's governor race, and Deval Patrick coasted to his guv win in Massachusetts. I love seeing Lincoln Chafee back in the political saddle as the governor of Rhode Island, and John Hickenlooper in the Colorado statehouse. Jerry Brown and Barbara Boxer--woo hoo! And Maine's two Democratic congressmembers, Chellie Pingree and Mike Michaud went through their challengers like a spoon through a jar of delicious Maine blueberry jam, now on sale at fine supermarkets across America. (Buy some today!)

The Republican Nazi re-enactor in Ohio is crying in his strudel this morning after he literally met his political "D"-Day. (Und vee say Heil! [Thpptt!] Heil! [Thpptt!] Right in Herr Iott's face!)  And there will be no stationery printed with the words: "From the Desk of Senator Sharron Angle" on it.

Plus---minor little thing here---we still hold the Senate, which is where destructive Republican bills from the House will go to die. (But, damn, losing Feingold is just crazy.)

And now we'll overturn the stone to see what's underneath and...oh god, that's ugly. The good news is, we didn’t lose 435 seats last night. The bad news is, we seem to have lost 434.

Let's keep this in perspective. This is not a seismic shift to the Republican agenda. This was a protest vote---a message to Democrats that said, "We don’t think you delivered our ponies fast enough, so we're going to make you feel our pain the only way we know how: by reminding you that there's another team out there."

But this does not mean Americans are in love with Republicans, or even that they like them...they don't. Democrats are still more popular than Republicans. Democratic policies are still more popular than Republican policies when we explain them...it's just that the average American doesn’t have the time or inclination to be explained to. So on we search for ways to slap our brand on a bumper sticker. ("We're less worse than Republicans" didn’t cut it this time.)

And a special message for the "loose confederation" of "non-affiliated" tea party types:

When you see Republican leaders in the House fucking up and doing the very things you crapped your costume pantaloons over---and they will---you must stay true to your "party-neutral" mission and declare war on them the same way you declared war on those nasty Democrats.  Because don't forget: by your own admission you're not Republican...or Democrat...or anything "organized."  You say so yourself every five minutes. So when Republicans start pumping out juicy slabs of pork to their districts willy nilly, and add to the deficit, and raise the debt ceiling, and ignore your agenda and, yes, when THEY START TREADING ON YOU...you must hold rallies against them and call them what you called Democrats: tyrants and traitors and Hitlers and Maos and Stalins who want to drop-kick your grandma onto an ice floe (if you can find one these days).

And if you don't judge the New Improved House by the same standards you judged the Old Tyrannical House, then you wallowers-in-hypocrisy will have two options: either drop the charade and start calling yourselves plain old (and getting older by the day) lockstep Republicans again...or shut the hell up.

As for you, John Boehner: jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs. If you and your corporate buddies don’t produce jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs by 2012, it's gonna be one helluva short honeymoon. And we'll remember that you told your right-wing fringe last night that "I'll never let you down."

As Lawrence O'Donnell responded, in the understatement of the evening: "Oh...yes...you...will."

Question though-- is "Bill from Portland Maine" really Shaniqua Jackson from Newark New Jersey- AKA Benny Blanco from getbig.com?

I mean, only somebody as brilliant as yourself could have written such an eloquent and not at all delusional article. Stop being so modest!

"Sam" the dipshit 20-year old resorting back to use of racist commentary with regards to me in effort to bring his brand of "teh funny." Yet again, the corniness of his stilted antics result in utter failure. 




Good effort, "George Whorewell" from Queens!  Hahahahaha, Oh brother!

Keep telling yourself that, ugly "BILLY." Health Care Reform wasn't dead AS YOU CLAIMED when Scott Brown took office, and it isn't dead now.

Good luck taking funds away from letting sick children get the coverage they need! Or forcing America to go back to allowing health insurance companies to be able to drop people who have pre-existing conditions! That'll go over reeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaa aaaallly well. LOL

I wondered how long it would take the left to pay the "It's all about the kids" card, more bullshit as usual.

Hey dumbass ever wonder how the insurance companies got into the position they are in? Yeah it was the federal government and the HMO act of 1973. But they will get it right this time

I often wonder how you function on a daily basis without the government there to tell you what to do with every waking moment.

Yes, because America was so much better before 1973. Let's go back to the 1950s! 

Keep posting funny pictures! It helps your cause! 

[Kazan]

Yeah actually it was better, I can remember going to the family doctor. My brother and I getting shots for school and it costing a whopping $25, 2 kids all the shots $25. Now a fucking aspirin 10x as much as that. Yeah those HMO's really worked out well . As usual you try to speak on something that you don't have a clue about, but that's OK keep regurgitating left wing talking points.

I know exactly what I'm talking about, and you expressed just what I already knew was your point of view. You're not exactly presenting anything new or expressing yourself as some sort of intellectual genius.  Yours is the belief of most of most of you right wing idiots. OF COURSE you thought it was better pre-1973. No surprise there!  Unfortunately for you, we can't turn back the clock.

Maybe you should just "succeed" from the union....

Yeah sure you do, you are typical libtard, you always "think" you know what you are talking about. You fucking morons give away your personal freedoms and think its a good thing. 33 is right liberalism is a mental disorder

[Soul Crusher]

Hey Benny - guess how the 16 million moving on to medicade aka welfare is being paid for you stupid jackass? 

Its the largest unfunded mandate to the states in history and is going to massively hit the middle class and all homeowers whose property tax bill reflects the countys' porition of the medicade bill due. 

Of course you were ignorant of that since they never discussed that little ditty on OFA and the other TEAM KNEEPAD sites.   

[Kazan]

Don't muddy the waters with facts, it will fuck up Benny's illusion of his moral high ground and mental superiority

Please, Benny has got to be one of the dumbest posters on this site, bar none.  He doesnt even know what obamacare actually does or how it is allegedly being paid for. 

All he knows are the lame talking points from www.barackobama.com  or the idiotic talking points he is spoon fed from David Plouff or the other hacks.   

[Kazan]

And that is why the country is so fucked up, what happened to people actually thinking for themselves. good thing the bennys of the world only make up about 20% of the population

America has been here for 200 years.Please tell me how we managed without Obama care al these years you skinny pussified pencil necked girl.

[Soul Crusher]

Benny= Angry that the midterm elections rolled back his own personal agenda-- that black skin and bad breath automatically equal government entitlements.

Why don't you turn off BET"s "Rap City" and go look for some more pictures of the NYC skyline in Brazil? You will have just as much luck doing that as you do not making yourself look like a braindead jackass on this board.

Happy Hunting!
