I'm a Republican.

I HAVE read the flyers, listened to the voicemails, and read candidates' summaries in various newspapers.

I have no idea what the Republicans hope to accomplish. Four Tea Party leaders were interviewed last night and asked what they specifically wanted. They sat there with no immediate reply and then began talking about what they hate regarding the current administration.

(P.S. I already did early voting and voted for certain Republicans who actually have some good ideas.)

You may not like their response or solutions .But it cannot be said that the Republicans have not offered alternatives.

Hello again, tom:

I've listened to them... They propose privatizing social security and medicare, and repealing the health care law. They want to get rid of the Department of Education As much as they SAY they love the Constitution, they want to CHANGE the Tenth and Fourteenth Amendments... Oh, yeah... Even though they scream about the deficit, they're WILLING to add $700 BILLION to it to give their rich buddies a humongous tax break, and make YOUR children pay for it... Doesn't sound so anti-deficit to me.

Did you know that in 2000, the richest 20% of us owned 59% of EVERYTHING??? Did you know that in 2009, the richest 20% of us owned 84% of EVERYTHING?? Uhhh, who do you think they stole it from??

So, as enticing as those proposals are to SOME, during a time of fear, they're really NOT going to happen. I don't know if you were around when George W. Bush tried that WITH a Republican Senate AND a Republican House, but he FAILED.

As I said earlier, when the nation realizes that they've been hoodwinked again, your wingers will be trashcanned..

excon

One more day, and the talking is over, and the doing starts. Guess who's watching to see who does what?? If you guys can't work together to make some good things happen, we can always find someone who will. DEM'S, REPUBS whomever.

Both are on a short leash as far as I'm concerned. Bigger government, smaller government, who gives a freak, it just better be a working government!!

According to Huffpo, Democrat insiders are fearing a loss of 70 seats. If nothing else you know what good comes from this blowout? Pelosi makes for the exits.

I'm lovin' that.

Ex . I love it when I am discussing politics with someone who resorts to dialetical materialism arguments. I see the economic pie as ever expanding . You see it as zero sum game. If someone is getting rich then of course someone is getting poorer quid pro quo.

It is said that is inevidible in a capitalist economy . I say it is the overburden of regulation that causes the concentration of wealth because it squeezes out the would be entepreneur from the game.

That's OK . The people heard the populism of class envy from the current crop of leaders in the last 4 years ,and are sick of their perscriptions.

But they have learned there lesson and are ready to listen to the people and do there will.

The only bad part is that listening to JUST their party/supporters doesn't help the rest of us at all. Think they know that's why they have TWO ears? To listen to everybody??

I have mentioned it earlier, you won't get any change until some reform is done in the process to separate your politicians from their corporate backers.

Geeze ,another spelling and grammar editor . How many do we need ? You don't even make allowances for dyslexia ?

As I've conceded often , The Republicans tried to out Dem the Dems . They were booted out ,and the Dems doubled down ,and doubled down again on the dose .

Hey tom, is your avatar an image of how the left will react tomorrow night, beating their heads against the wall?

Hopefully... I may revise my prediction up to 75+ seats. I think any race within a 4 pt. margin today is going to ride the wave.

"Who dat say dey gonna beat dem 'boys" ?

I hope you're not referring to me. Believe me, I bite my tongue a lot (and will continue to). I love you all and enjoy reading the different takes on things. Dyslexia doesn't explain the spelling and grammar mistakes I see on this board.

And I overlook the ones I identify also . I spelled prescripton incorrectly clearly inverting the e and r . NK made it a point to illustrate it in his reply.

My only other defense is the fact that I don't proof read everything I type . Dyslexia was just an attempt at humor .

And I picked up on your humor. I've learned too much from this board to constantly pick on everyone's grammar and punctuation. excon knows how much I flinch. I've been after him for years -- and finally gave up. I enjoy the back-and-forth too much to nag any longer.

At least I restrain my use of texting acronyms.

Not really .Being the frontrunner I am ,I was a big Islanders fan in the early 1980s . Since then I lose interest in the game until the second season begins .
