what's telling about your posts is that you only turn comments on for pro Rethuglican posts, and leave them off for anything that might solicit comments that point out just how idiotic you are.
You are actually a professor!?!?

Poor students.

What a sad and pathetic little guy you are

Thanks for posting this video!

What he says at the end is a lot more controversial than the electioneering boilerplate of "we won before & now we'll win again" by far.

Controversial, because it's technically correct.

No alternatives. No solutions. No specific positive policy initiatives. Not by accident but by design. Boehner has as good as admitted so, & no amount of anemic country-rock "Tea Party Patriot" YouTube videos or "Young Guns" hokum can do much to hide it where the political rubber hits the road. The main saving grace of the 2010 Election for the GOP (other than upping their odds of dodging responsibility for the aftermath of the severe international economic crash they Imagineered(TM) into motion in 2008) is the merciful abscence of a live televised national debate.

When your party is releasing "budgets" that look like children's playbooks & have no numbers worth using ... when your leaders' worst nightmare is being asked in the media about the operative specifics of all the essential policies they don't have (& wouldn't know how to execute successfully if they did) because their only predicate is worsening the situation for Democrats by any & all means available ... well, for anyone left in there that can think past next year, I'd say that it's hurtin' time.

Dems keeping both majorities? Yeah, Steele has agreed with Biden in public on that, & I suspect Rove & plenty of other opinion-leaders on the American Right do likewise in private. The Teabagger Brigades have no few cadres in their mobs who sincerely intend to "vote ALL the bums out" - & most of them are centered in traditional GOP states. This midterm should be a cakewalk for the Republicans & they look inept as hell. Their website was a disaster. Their Chairman has spent more than a year acting like he's channelling Soupy Sales. The Senate leader thinks nothing of working half-days on a whim. The GOP looks less & less like the party of Ronald Reagan & ever more like the party of Sun-Myung Moon (just possibly related to them having let Moon crown himself as the messiah of mankind in DC in 2004?)

If the public actually compares in terms of either proven aptitude to govern or utility of policies, your "blowout" will blow away like smoke.

The longer it continues its years in power building up a track-record of record-breaking crime, cynically hyping both real & fake crises as vehicles for both personal profit & social control, & leaving legacies of massive fiscal loss & brutal economic anarchy, the more likely that the GOP will sooner or later hand itself the same point-blank headshot that Canada's Progressive Conservatives did in the 1990s. It's on the same path of pseudo-populist Kabuki rent-a-mobs, purity-purges & empty denials that every other once-dominant fringe rump-party in history wandered down in order to finally evaporate. Names like "Whig Party" or "Know-Nothing Party" are a few that come to mind offhand. How does two seats in the Senate & nine in the House sound?
