If Voters Don't Give Demos The House - Four More Years Of Gridlock.

[TheMastersNemesis]

The ignorant stupid and racists who will leave the GOP in control of the House deserve to starve or die early because of no health care. The GOP House will double down on obstruction and defunding. And it will pass more "war on women" legislation.

1. Yep!

Not a pretty picture.

[Skee]

2. If You Only Had A Vote

The blackbox central tabulators don't care about women
or health, and they determine the outcomes of 'elections'.

3. It would be nice if Democrats won the Senate, too

instead of struggling under the Republicans' 40-vote majority.

4. To some extent, yes

but I think alot will depend on the margin of President Obama's victory and the degree of turnover in Congress.

A landslide electoral victory and the Dems picking up a good many seats would be a big signal that Congress needs to work with the President, not against. Although not the greatest situation, would be better since another two years of gridlock would look alot worse for Republicans than it would Democrats.

Status quo in the composition of the House and a smaller margin of victory could easily result in another two years of gridlock.

6. I agree.

I think the Repubs will succomb to survival instincts and work with the President on certain issues that relate to the economy and defense. Obstruction didnt work anyway.

8. Seriously?

What Republican Party is it you are talking about? It sure isn't the same one I see.

[DCBob]

9. yes.

The Republican goal of the last 4 years was to destroy Obama so he wouldnt win reelection. That is no longer the case. I suspect their main goal for next 4 will be survival which will require some compromising with the President.

12. I think it'll be a two year cycle coming up to the midterms

if the Repub's continue the obstructionism, an approval rating barely into double digits could possibly result in a massive turnover in 2014.

[99Forever]

13. I hope you are right, but...

... I think it's a pipe dream. They are antisocial assholes, with psychopaths for "leaders."

We'll see.

[newfie11]

11. Me either!

I don't think they will change.

[LovePeacock]

5. Nope. After this election, they'll be forced to work with President Obama.

It's not gonna be some leftwing lovefest or anything, but cons went hardcore right for the past four years and Mitt Romney is the end result of that. Since that's not going to work, they'll swing back to the middle and try to steal the White House in 2016. It's inevitable.

[DCBob]

7. yes, I think so too.

Gridlock really wont help them anymore.. and in fact it will hurt them as people will further blame them for an ineffective government.

[Walk away]

10. Two more years. nt

14. I expect lots of Republicans to defect and vote Democratic down the line.

Their party has been hijacked by extremists who pulled the Democrats to the right then still obstructed so much legislation that would have helped all Americans, so I expect moderate Republicans to cross over.
