The Election Results simply do not make much sense.

So voters want a higher minimum wage, legal pot, abortion access and GOP representation. Ok then.

This is a "we're mad at Obama vote". 

I have no idea why.  Obama did exactly what he told them he was going to do (minus the corruption) when they elected him.  I don't know what they thought was gonna happen.

This is what happens at the end of just about every Presidency.  The ignorant masses that elected the POTUS get mad and decide they want the other guys even though they don't really understand what either party stands for.  They just want something different.

The ballot measures are hilarious though. All things Republicans are against and they all passed.  This is going to be interesting as to why and the explanations of such behavior.

Nothing new. It's a pendulum every few years. Don't like you leadership Waite a few years and we'll all be liberals again. Don't want to be a liberal Waite a few more years and be conservative again. Stupid.

Aside from your distaste for the Right's religious-based social beliefs/policies (which trouble me as well), and their too-often skepticism of science (again, troubling), which part of you is Left?

You're pro-gun, pro-cop, rather hawkish, support Israel, despise our coddling and enabling of minority thugs (blacks, at least), etc. Hell, you even seem patriotic (and damn proud of Dixie to boot), which sorta clashes with the Left's multiculturalistic anti-nationalism apologism.

Seems intelligence is paramount for you, but your common sense is also intact, which doesn't jibe at all with the Left. Is economics your ultimate deal-killer with the Right (or even more Libertarian-minded Independents)?

Memo to TA: the election was ONLY about a severe repudiation of Obama's policies. The electorate ISN'T looking for "more bipartisanship", they weren't looking to an "end to gridlock".

The American people just elected the greatest political landslide for one purpose: to stop King Hebrew from his assault on this country.

Any other "analysis" that you may want to provide is either clueless or deliberately misleading.

Right. Sure he did.

1. Obama Care
"If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor." (countless YouTube vids of this repeated lie)

2. Afghanistan
"It wasn't my idea to pull out of Afghanistan." (countless YouTube vids of him saying we need to pull out)

You got that right. See my previous post for two solid reasons why we should be.

Maybe this is the turning point for the GOP. Remember back in the 1860's that the Democrats were "the white man's party"?

Maybe they're becoming hip to the thoughts of the people.

Congress has about a 10% approval rate, yet they managed a 90% reelection rate!

"1"

[Voice of Doom]

Minimum wage workers make a up a small % of total workers.  There were plenty of other issues that influenced people's votes.  I imagine the ACA is the real reason for the Republican win.  That and a growing resentment against racial finger pointing and cover the Democrats have hidden under the past 6 years.

The 10% approval is for "all the OTHER Congresscritters. Mine is cool"

yep.

Im still pissed about Washington passing a "background check" law that actually instates a state registry of all firearms, using the background checks to gather data.

And it was hilarious, the commercials (largely funded by out of state anti gun folk, it turns out), pretty much weny like this -

My mom got shot by her abuser, we need to pass this to stoo domestic abused women from getting shot in the face like my mom!

 *tears*

My mom lived but your might not! Pass this today and STOP domestic abusers from buying guns from private sellers without a background check!

*more tears*

Dont think, dont read the initiative, pass it now based on emotions alone, you dont want any more poor abused women to die do you?! If this oasses domestic abusers wont be able to buy guns anymore!!

*evil armslist ad, evil music plays*

Please,  pass this today so your non doesnt get shot in the face!

*dont look at stats, dont read the law, dont think critically, look at crying woman and pass this law, paid for by gun haters everywhere*

Libidiots pretending like Obama's complete and total failure to accomplish anything snuck up on them.

Fuck you Harry Reed and Nancy Pelosi - die you ignorant cock-munchers.

Nothing changed. It's all the same as yesterday.

There are two Americas. Look at last nights blue (Dem) and red (Rep) map county by county. The liberals hug the coasts and the conservatives have the 80% balance ( with a few purple/mixed areas). Its a big red country with a blue border. Population wise its a balance.

Last night the Dems lost the female argument...big time. The blacks and Hispanics for the most part stayed at home. The youth without a pop star at the helm went back to their pitiful 13% participation.

The Republicans elected a black female to Congress in Utah......white ass Utah. They also elected a black senator in the deep south.

Liberal local issues were voted in on the coasts...not fly over America.

Obama's campaign was basically "we're going to shoehorn the liberal agenda through", worked because everyone was all grumble-grumble-rabble-rabble about the Republicans at the time.

Fast-forward six years and now we're all sick of the Dems let's get the GOP back in there, rinse repeat.

This described the gun control crowd's tactics perfectly. And the Dem's tactics for that matter. All emotion, with a deliberate misrepresentation of the real life facts( which never, ever favor them when actually researched)

You're right, but one of our biggest problems is that the high-ranking Democrats are all conservative and the 'Walmart conservatives' aren't really conservative at all.

We need more *classic* liberals and conservatives....and then we need to give them better brains.
