Exit Polls Show Voters Dissatisfied With Government, Worried About Their Finances

Obama has many forks in the fire, Economy was not being forgotten. The GOP was the problem along with the TEA Party. So maybe Obama should pull a Palin and just quit, You have given him little to work with and you have stopped his advances. This will all reflect on the voters, Not Obama.

Most of Obama's strength- progressives, young people and minorities, stayed home because he gave them nothing to fight for. The Right was energized by their crazed preachers and corporate controlled media. The Dems treat their base like an abused spouse. Take it, because where else would you go? Then when we don't show up to vote, they accuse us of whining.

Has anyone bothered to notice that the states in the worst financial state are those in which the Democrat Party has enjoyed a stranglehold for years? The voters have, and 16, a record, just switched their legislatures to the GOP. Dems now hold only 17 governorships. The people have awakened save for the elites of Cal, NY, Mass, Ore, Col, Vt, etc....Good luck to those states' taxpayers...lol

Like the saying goes.."If voting could really change things it would be illegal"

i'm not sure why Republicans think this is going to mean change. do you not realize that John Boehner is the main point person for the lobbyists of the health insurance companies, big oil, and big coal? all this election did was ensure that a government corrupted by rich lobbyists is not going to change.

This election message is yet another appeal to a blatently corrupt Washington freak show to change its ways. People are simply sick and tired of the growing and increasingly unaddressed problems resulting from years of Government policies committed only to rampant corporatism, that have encouraging manufacturing to move abroad en masse, to supporting Wall street crooks and parasites while quietly enabling them to suck the nations lifesblood, to continuous rampant deficit spending and to expensive, pointless belligerant never ending military occupations and other upside down priorities. People elected Obama and the Democrats after years of increasingly destructive laizes fare insanity hoping they would address the resulting problems and begin to change the nations course. Here lies the problem, the Democrats serve the same masters the Republicans do and obviously never had any intention to address these issues! Their main priority despite all the talk about change has clearly been to bail out, shore up and further establish the same old broken, rotten system. It's beneficiaries the same old Wall street financial and insurance crooks are smirking since the cost of their cheating has been safely transfered onto the backs of already struggling ordinary people. Well People are not stupid and they know full well what they did. Even though the corporate owned media continues to spout self serving propaganda that the answer is less government and less taxes and pumps endless divisive rubbish blaming everything on Americas greedy poor and all that non existant European socialism, informed people know full well that the nations real problem is actually rampant corporate socialism. Where in big business controls government policy and is allowed to operate as free of regulations or taxes as possible yet can always count on public funded Government financial or military support when required. Informed people know that the myth of no government no taxes in reality only actually applies to big corporate interests. What most sensible people are wanting these days is in fact less corporatism and an accountable, responsible, honest Government that stands up for the values and aspirations of the American people first. The other sell outs the Republicans are back whoopee! so lets see if anything changes, I am not holding my breath. But I can't help fell that if something meaningful doesn't happen this time around to right our upside down priorities and stem our resulting serious growing problems then there may well be a political uprising and those elitist, smirking, empty suits might find themselves flailing around on the end of the pitchforks of a sweeping new populist political party.

I am not a Democrat or a Repulican. I am with the common sense party (there are very few of us). I would have probably voted for every libertarian in an effort to vote all of them(crooks)out, but they never get enough votes to get voted in. The old saying of out with the old and in with the new was just not going to happen, so we were forced to vote for the lesser of the two evils (to each his own), and unfortunately we are back to politics as usual--most likely. It's a shame that regular Joe or regular Jane cannot run and win, and we get some common (real) people (like you or I) in office to do the job. Pure and simple--Politics/Politcians=Money/Corruption. It most likely will never change, as one gains to much power/money/perks in these governmental positions, and the true good of the people is given up for their own agendas.

Three questions to you out there who are so angry: 1) WHO is responsible for the state of the economy? Who caused the crisis in the first place? 2) WHO cost you your job? The government? Not unless you actually work for the government, it didn't. And 3) WHAT do you expect the government to do to get you a job? Hire you? WAKE UP, folks .. and get angry with WHO you should actually BE angry at .. corporations, business, and financial institutions .. and the deregulators who allowed them to do everything they did to bring down the economy. Be angry at someone who laid off thousands and had $140 million in PERSONAL wealth to throw away on a failed election. Pick the right targets for your anger, or we'll be in this mess for as long as you let them manipulate you!

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907. 'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language.. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.' Theodore Roosevelt 1907

how did senior citizens vote? I believe many of them voted against dems because of their anger about holding back on a social security increase for the 2nd year in a row. How come no one is mentioning this?
