GOP Wave of Change Hits House; Republicans Also Gain Governorships

Don't worry people...the republican proteges could not steal everything in their last go around...they could not get your SS...(Remember how they tried to privatize it..ohh you already forgot) OH let me think...another war might do the trick of bringing the economy back up...come on republicans fix this mess already

To Republicans elected: A tough decade is ahead to turn around Washington's abuse. If ever there were a time to restrain governmental control; it is NOW! States MUST be returned to power as originally intended by our Founding Fathers. The federal government has out-grown its ability to manage itself (hence the exorbitant fiscal abuse to taxpayers). Time to enact a permanant law for a balanced federal budget, Social Security reform, true healthcare reform, tax reform (simplification), term limits, election reform, and to streamline Washington legislative process (Congressmen/Senators must themselves participate in their own legislation)!...to include social security! No more "special" benefits for Washington's "PUBLIC SERVANTS." We are ALL Americans (if here legally).

Polls say taxpayers are saying their major complaints or concerns are things like jobs, the economy, healthcare, etc. Why don't they just say corrupt government? That would cover everything because it's corrupt government that has caused it all. Republicans and many Democrats are preaching to keep the tax cuts for the wealthiest of those in our nation. They really do like spending our money, don't they? The wealthiest are the only ones getting richer. The wealthiest are the ones who profited from the corruption on Wall Street and the banks. I think whether or not to continue the tax break for the wealthiest [while we pay their share of taxes for them!] should be put up for the citizens to vote on, not Congress. They've thrown enough of our money away, and obviously, they are hell bent on continuing to throw more away. Politicians say, "Oh. We have to take care of the wealthiest because they are the ones who are going to start new businesses and create new jobs." Please. Have you seen them doing it in your home town? The only contributions the wealthiest make to the American economy are when they purchase something. Otherwise, they invest in the stock markets and their 'overseas' businesses. The businesses are overseas, as everyone should know by now, because they can get slave labor working for well below the American minimum wage rate. That's the same reason we have so many illegal immigrants in the US...so businesses will have slave labor here in the states. And, while taking the companies and our jobs overseas, OUR government subsidizes the business owners with our money; they get tax breaks, and we are being forced to pick up the slack for them by paying for their share of the taxes; and they make bigger profits since they have workers in poorer, overpopulated countries who work for a couple of bucks per hour. They're making out like bandits! And, we sit here like idiots with no jobs because we don't pay attention to who we put into office and what the elected do after they get there. We elect politicians bought and paid for by big businesses. We let politicians remain in office year after year and they 'do nothing' for our country. We've got Congress people who were elected by our relatives before many of us were born! It seems like some voters are waking up, but not nearly enough.

we are on our way to correcting the many mistakes that have been made. Now if the Republicans make the same mistakes they will be replaced. POWER OF THE PEOPLE!!!!!

Mr. Obama, Are you listening now? Get off of your high horse and do what the American people elected you to do. Stop taking expensive vacations aroundthe world at tax payer expense and stay home and create policies to get the economy going. You weren't elected to become King of the United States. Unemployed people are tired of your politics and want "our change" or in 2012 you and your cronies will be on the unemployment line.

The stupidity and hysteria of the American voter is amazing. Apparently how we got into this economic mess over the past 8 years of Republican policies was not understood. Now nothing will get done at all in government, and by the way will not create new jobs. This is not what Jefferson had in mind as an informed electorate. It will be amusing to watch Republican cope with the Tea Party nuts.

Republicans - you won. Congratulations - Democrats and Republicans - please do me this favor.. 1) Don't get cocky - there's work to be done..concentrate on that 2) Try to work with each other - Everyone fighting is getting nowhere & delaying a solution. 3) Work the PROBLEMS - We can sit around and say Bush did this or Obama/Clinton did that. Its done, move on, fix the issues at hand. We obviously know what the problems are - now its time to solution. 4) Look at ALL options - The more options you have available to you, the better odds you have at fixing a problem - plain common sense. Listen to each other respectfully and don't let pride or political affiliation get in the way. Promise me those 4 things and I think you'll have a lot more happy Americans in addition to me.

"There is no limit to what can be accomplished when no one cares who gets the credit" Ronald Reagan

"Obama called Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell Tuesday night, saying he would work with Republicans 'to find common ground, move the country forward, and get things done for the American people,' according to the White House." As much as I am disappointed with Obama, Pelosi and Reid, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? The party of No now has to come up with solutions other than voting NO. If you all think that you won something here---you have yet to see the results of your decision.

There are some happy people posting here. There are also some with mixed feelings. They are happy to have won but angry still at the president and the remaining Democrats. Look for them to keep beating the drums until 2012. This victory hasn't completely satisfied them. They just may get their wish.
