Exit polls showed nearly 9 in 10 voters are very worried about the economy and that Obama's policies would hurt the country, rather than help it....Well, duh!

Expect some partisan gridlock. Its how its always been.

"I think the Demos in the house should just vote NO on everything like the repubes have done. Give em a taste of their own medicine."

Excellent idea! Especially if it has anything to do with SPENDING!

Hmmm..........seems to me the Demclowns have controlled all three branches for two years(lest yee forget). Methinks ya gotta come up with a better excuse than above. Didnt stop Obamabortioncare did it?

Typical leftist elitist....stupid voters! The audacity is incredible!

pretty hard to control three branches when one side is refusing to allow debates on anything. what was it, 150, 250 filibusters? old record was like ten?

takes two to tango. if one side sits out there is no dance. Obamacare is about ten percent of what we need to fix the health situation, its all he could get with a bunch of neanderthals clogging up the aisles screaming NYET! NYET! NYET!

republicans spend as well as anyone rykat. to dream otherwise shows you are totally capable of fooling yourself. urban myth. reagan, bush, fantastic big spenders.

contract with america. was going to eliminate 94 programs. Two years later, every one was over 100% larger. Under the Repubes.

Demos spend to fix Repube disasters. Repubes spend to fund their fat cat friends.

this is another election you can chalk up to the Supreme Court and their Citizen's United decision. with unlimited undisclosed foreign and domestic contributions now legal, i fear for our democracy.

Remember how the Repubes howled bloody murder at George Soros contributing a lot of money in the 2004 election? Now the Repubes have hundreds of George Soros's funding their campaigns. Some in Dubai, some in China, some in Houston.

This Supreme Court decision will insure Repube control for quite some time. Mark my words.

Bullsh-t It was only a few months ago, since the election of Scott Brown that Repub. had enough of votes to sustain a filibuster. Therefore when there where filibusters there where Dems participating in the filibuster until Scot Brown. If nothing got done it was a bi-partisan filibuster that caused it. The dems controlled the 3 branches for most of the last 2 years and could have passed anything they wanted. Please don't try to rewrite history.

In addition it might have helped if Obama worked with Repubs instead of telling them the way it was going to be and locking them out of certain meetings. His heavy handedness caused a lot of his problems.

While its human nature to become upset when ones ideals are rejected, let's not ignore some facts?

It was not that Republicans did not step up...it was far more that the plate was blocked!

Democrats had the majority needed to pass anything unilaterally and could not get their ducks in line...

On healthcare, Paul Ryan offered up a comprehensive plan for consideration that included medical tort reform, portability of insurance and many other key points that were ignored in a 2000+ page bill that was voted on before it was read...

Finance reform that ignores Fanny and Freddie? What is the point, and yet any attempts to include such language was blocked... . (not by republicans, by the way!): compromise is not something that can be achieved by just one party!

Until the Scott Brown election, Democrats not only had control of The White House and both houses, they also had a filibuster proof majority....much of what has been pushed through this last 2 years happened without any input from republicans.

What last night showed was that the country rejected the direction the Obama/Pelosi/Reid were taking it in....

Good candidates, like Rubio, Johnson and Kirk will bring a new approach to Washington, while weaker candidates like Angle and O'Donnell who were in very "winable" races were exposed as not fit for the job.

The fact that Rubio out polled Christ and Meeks combined, while Murkowski seems to have defeated Miller as a write in highlights this, but it is an unfortunate by product of a primary system which allows a very small minority of politically engaged voters to determine who the rest of their party gets to choose between.

The country is still very divided at the extremes....29% of South Carolinians voted for a guy who seemingly would have had trouble entering his own name on a write in ballot, and the stunningly unprepared and incompetent O'Donnell got way to many votes based on the (r) next to her name, not on her ability to effect change….
Which can only confirm that this election was a referenda on the direction in which Obama has been taking the country….. and that the mandate is now with the republicans to change this direction…… if they don't it will be all change again in 2012

Cap and Tax will now be off the table, Card Check will be shelved and The Bush Tax Cuts will be extended, giving business a more stable environment in which to invest their cash reserves and create jobs in 49 states of the union

One last though……California……WTF?

From fact check: "Embattled Democrats strained to discredit the U.S. Chamber of Commerce with an unproven allegation, claiming that it was "stealing our democracy" by funneling secret, illegal contributions from foreign corporations. The truth is that the chamber gets only a tiny fraction of its money from foreign corporations, and has more than enough from domestic companies to legally fund its planned $75 million election spending."

The union support of dems was going to be the only game in town if the Supremes didn't step in. The reason to keep them anominous became very apparent with the boycott of Target for making a contribution to a group, not a candidate because the unions did not like who the group gave some money to. The dems want to change our country to one party rule, no opposition. Yes, that would suit some of them just fine. Well it ain't going to be.

"Demos spend to fix Repube disasters. Repubes spend to fund their fat cat friends."

Marty! I love you man....but you are out to lunch!
Gotta be an antibiotic that works on leftist hate!
