The election results are clearly a sobering wake-up call. Perhaps the administration will start to actually listen to citizens and even taxpayers.

I love it. Our fellow citizens calling themselves “conservatives” and “Republicans” that make these hateful, spiteful comments just play into the President’s hands. I will not give Republicans my vote gain until they drop the crazies.

President Palin? Really? It’s not going to happen. People vote authenticity. Bush seemed (to many at the times, yes big mistake) more real than Gore or Kerry. Then came Obama and he’s turned on the nutjob switch in the Republican Party on Self-Destruct and there y’all go on your way to over the cliff in 2012.

As soon as “Obamacare” passes, and it will pass, 2012 will be done.You republicans are making a big mistake on this issue. All Republicans have left to offer is stuff like tea bags, “Obobo”, more tax cuts for the rich (”deficient don’t matter” is what Cheney said and y’all cheered) and cheerleading any and evry bit of bad news for this country. I will Never vote for people who do that.

WE SEE THE MESS!!

“Obobo” DID NOT MAKE THAT MESS. Republicans were given all the power and blew it.We hired him to clean up your mess. You are only fooling yourselves with trying to shift the blame. You are worse than the spineless Democrats in Congress who apparently are scared of y’all and not of us.

P.S. Why is a Democratic Congress listening to the Catholic Church instead of booting them out? What Church do you think the illegal immigrants belong to? Democrats want them under their thumb so they’ll vote for them, illegal or not. (And won’t that be the day, when people who aren’t even citizens are allowed to vote for U.S. officials?)

deborahinathens: You may say the Republicans “foment an ‘US’ against ‘THEM’ mentality that is ripping this country apart.” You have done the same thing in your comment. Dems are no different, unless simply worse because they fail to see the attitude in themselves that they criticize others for having. Democrats in Congress are this very minute “ripping this country apart” by the most ugly words I’ve ever heard and some pretty awful actions, too.

I agree with Tom Middleton: Bipartisanship is better than partisanship because it’s twice as good.

To all of the rightwing nuts here, denial is not just a river in Egypt.

You people are obsolete, America is too diverse to go for a hard right nut case for president or anything else of consequence.
Only in backwood places like alabama and ms, and the rural areas of ga. will you find support for your ideas.
When the next election rolls around who will the gays,jews,muslims,catholics,asians,hispanics,and blacks vote for?

Certainly not some right wing zealot/traitor who does not undersand the true meaning of America, which is a melting pot not one big Saltine cracker

I’m glad Ms. Tucker’s fax machine is working and she got Mr. Axleord’s talking points. Well done. Of course the only race that matters is the one Dems won. I think the GOP will gladly trade two important state’s Governors for one house seat. Oh, and let’s also completely discount the independent’s swing to the right. Move along electorate, nothing to see here. Keep dreaming Ms. Tucker.

CT, “I take Scozzafava at her word. She called herself a Republican and was nominated by the local Republican establishment.”

Now, now . . I told you it doesn’t matter what a person calls themselves! They will do whatever it takes to get elected. The real key to what they are is when they open their mouth!

Cynbthia….You can take her for her word, but her actions in the past clearly showed she was anything BUT a Republican. Therefore, you use the results in NY to show that America still has faith in this “Hope” crap that Obama spewed at us while 2 much much larger populations clearly think otherwise.
