2022 Midterms

[Farfromgeneva]

This might be a pretty reasonable explanation as to the how and why some of these candidates get elected.
Kind of makes sense to me as I'll be damned if I can figure out how too many of these folks end up in office.
Worth the listen, the left has definitely gone too far with their wokeness. JMHO.

Yeah, but that has NOTHING to do with our leaders. What you and Maher are missing is:

1. this is cultural. Voting for a Senator because of "wokeness" is like entering a McDonald to complain about your Taco Bell order. One has nothing to do with the other. I explained this to posters who voted for Trump "because they're sick of PC". And hey, look at that.....Trump didn't make PC illegal. Because he can't do that. It's cultural.

2. the lady Maher mentioned? She's in Canada. So......what's the F if voting for Herschel gonna do about that?

3. Even if the lady, or wokeness in general, if from the US? Maher forgets that gay or woke, or whatever isn't automatically Democrat. There's 80 million Americans who don't vote.....and don't give a sh*t about any of this stuff. Maher making the same mistake R's make: anyone who isn't us, MUST be a Democrat. Nope. Not even close. The actual, real left? They hate the Dems as much as they hate the R's. It's worth remembering this.

4. What we're seeing is a bunch of old white guys who are stunned that "someone else" has a say in our mainstream. That means things like music, art, movies, tv shows, YouTube, twitter, etc. For the last 200+ years, the only voices heard on a National level were straight white people. Now that yes, transgendered folks are reading books to kids? Folks are losing their collective minds.

It's cultural, Dmac. And voting Republican won't slow it down....not even a little. How is voting for Herschel going to stop something that's happening culturally in America. Answer: it ain't. And at the end of voting for these idiots? All Republicans are doing is letting their base fall further behind in the global economy because the Republicans don't have a plan as to how to help them economically....you know, the REAL reason to vote for National leaders.....,and haven't for over 20 years now.

And counting.....

Well okay enough political games to corner the market and get enough in the system not in majority but key seats to destroy democracy and take what they can’t have freely because it’s not theirs nor did they earn it.

What politicians are capable of doing is setting a tone. Do you remember the difference between the attitude in the US before Reagan even took office? The change was palatable. It clearly had nothing to do with Reagan's policies or any efforts on his part to help his citizens compete globally. It had to do with attitude. The next closest example I can think of is Obama.

The only useful thing politicians do is set the tone. The only other thing we can reliably count on them to do is carve off and eat as much of the American carcass as they can get away with for as long as they can.

We put up with their villainy because they are supposed to set the tone. Lately we get pols setting a very negative tone - people like Trump and AOC and that blonde republican air-headed moron - all peeing on our heads and telling us that it is raining.

Reporter: “Democrats have been in control of the White House, the Congress for the past 2 years. Inflation has soared. Why should Georgia voters give you another chance?”

Raphael Warnock: *long pause* “We are still in the throes of a pandemic”. Biden said the pandemic is over! What kind of weak and lame response was this?

https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/ ... 2186236928

Not much longer until Warnock is no longer a Senator. Walker mopped the floor with him during the debate the other day. Even large media outlets praised Walker for doing so as they assumed he was incapable of debate given their own bias and hatred of a black Republican.
Republicans are gaining momentum everyday with independents across the board.

Can't wait until Republicans take back the House and hopefully the Senate. The meltdown will be incredible

Yeah of a petite baby chick being raped by a gorilla. That tone

[MDlaxfan76]

Yes, when they shut down government, as these nut jobs are promising that will indeed be a "meltdown".

Dems have already resigned themselves to losing at least one, and quite possibly control of two...and they know quite well what that will mean legislatively...will the adults in the GOP be in control? Doesn't look like it.

And the pendulum will swing real hard in 2024 after the GOP nut jobs wreak havoc.

Hershel is sharecropping…..he’s working the land for his own piece of property at some point. He just needs to keep working for GOP leadership. He will get his 40 acres and a mule…they are good for it. He just needs to do his part.

Racist much? Why are Democrats so blatantly racist, yet no one calls them out on it? Why do you hate Black Republicans? Is it because they've escaped the chains of the Democrat plantation?

[dislaxxic]

Hearing Aids, as of today, can be purchased across-the-counter. First time ever. J'Biden got that signed into law recently after the Trump administration sat on it for years. Cost for these common healthcare aids will likely drop like a stone.

There are many, MANY more examples out there RIGHT NOW of ways J'Biden and the Democratic administration is making a substantial difference in the lives of all Americans.

Trumpublican MAGAts got nothing, literally NOTHING when it comes to actually governing. Zero, Zip. NADA.

You want the Congress to spend the next four years doing NOTHING but investigating Hunter Biden, well go right ahead and vote R...

You've misremembered, like most Americans. It was a long time ago, so I don't blame you.

First two years, folks hated Reagan. Look at the polls.

So what did he do? He broke out the checkbook, and borrowed the money to get the economy ROARING, all while telling supporters that "the government is bad". This is the start of the Modern Republican party's game of "do as I say, not as I do"....and "Socialism is and Big Government is bad, unless my family gets the money".

Rates also dropped. Result? The economy boomed as Federal spending soared. My entire town of Littleton all the way to Boulder, home to Lockheed Martin, Martin Marietta, and all that NASA spending was born because of Reagan. Heck, my dad moved us there to work at the Federal Center right on the Front Range. Good, high paying jobs for skilled engineers, architects, and academics.

THAT is what did it, HooDat: Big Government Spending.

If Reagan didn't do that? No boom. No "good feeling". No tone. Cut that spending, and watch what happens to our country. I"m DYING for a Republican to FINALLY cut spending.

Sorry, my man. It wasn't tone. It was borrowed Federal Dollars.

Carter was a dream come true for REAL conservatives: Military guy. USNA grad, pick of the litter. And as Christian of a man as we'll ever see. They should have LOVED him. Instead? And this says EVERYTHING about American conservatives: they HATED him. Hated Carter and his frugality that kept the party from starting.

Reagan read the tea leaves, and got rid of Carter's "small government" nonsense, and got right to work, spending money as fast as he could....all while cutting taxes for the rich, who naturally, LOVED the guy and his adherence to the idiot Laffer and his lying *ss. Voodoo economics, indeed.

Hence the love for Reagan. Hence the permanent Republican hypocrisy of pretending to hate government while enjoying taxpayer financed box seats at University of Alabama home games.

[DocBarrister]

Good early vote start in Georgia, where over 100,000 Georgians voted on the first day. Only 72,000 on the first day in 2018, when Democrats had their blue wave.

https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/happen ... NEKBNGIJU/

Also, Florida is reporting about a 100,000 early voters a day so far, 600,000 early votes total.

Democrats dominate the early vote, so a good start to the general election.

It is crazy how true this is. Put an "R" by Carter's name and the MAGA crowd would be lining up in droves to support him.

You've misremembered, like most Americans. It was a long time ago, so I don't blame you.

First two years, folks hated Reagan. Look at the polls.

I am not with you on this take.Yes, there was Bedtime for Bonzo references, etc... from the beginning, but the media never really came around to liking Reagan - think Iran Contra. And Reagan doesn't deserve any credit for this, but the Iranians release the hostages the day of inauguration was a big day one pop for Reagan's "success story". Of course cutting taxes and raising spending helped him become even more popular - not arguing there.

Turns out the famed Johns Hopkins graduate and former Republican mayor of New York is once again one of the largest donors to the Democratic Party.

Top Democratic donor Mike Bloomberg, a billionaire former candidate for president, plans to spend more than $60 million on this year’s elections, according to his advisers, opting for a lower public profile than he has taken in recent years.

Much of his spending, including about $11 million in donations to House Majority PAC, the primary outside group supporting Democrats in the battle for control of the House, has not yet been publicly disclosed, while more than $15 million has been pushed through Democratic-aligned groups such as Emily’s List, Planned Parenthood and the League of Conservation Voters, the advisers said.

Biden is viewed as a drag on Democratic midterm hopes

President Biden is once again being viewed as a serious drag on his party’s midterm prospects, after a late summer bump had some thinking he would be less of an anchor around Democratic lawmakers seeking reelection.

With three weeks to go until Election Day, Democrats say they are worried that Biden’s shaky approval ratings will end up hurting their chances in the House and Senate races.

And as inflation soars and fear of a recession continues to mount, Democrats say the president will end up being “the fall guy,” as one source put it, even if some in the party don’t think the criticism is entirely fair.

“It’s all about the economy, and at the end of the day, everything is more expensive than it was a year ago, retirement accounts are plummeting, and gas prices are lower but they’re inching up again,” one Democrats strategist acknowledged. “And President Biden is in charge, so of course people are going to point to him, unfairly or not.”

A New York Times-Siena College poll released Monday showed that 49 percent of likely voters said they would select a Republican for Congress and 45 percent said they expected to vote for a Democrat. The poll indicates an improvement for Republicans since last month, when Democrats held a 1-point lead among likely voters.

The poll gave new worries to Democrats focused on the midterms and also has many reassessing Biden’s strength as a candidate for reelection in 2024.
