Democratic party denial

 

Nancy Pelosi quote from the article:

She said the chief message she took from Tuesday’s election, which saw Democrats eviscerated at all levels, is that voter suppression was a problem.

 

Oh my friggen Lord.

 

That woman and Harry can't get thrown out of Washington fast enough.

Reid could lose but Pelosi will never lose her district. It's hers until she decides she's done.

Sigh.

House Speaker John Boehner said approval of the controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline and the repeal of key parts of Obamacare are among Republicans' top priorities now that theGOP has won control of both houses of Congress.

 

"Obamacare is hurting our economy, it's hurting middle-class workers, and it's hurting the ability to create more jobs," Boehner said, adding that Republicans want to replace it with "common-sense reforms."

 

Among those reforms, according to the Ohio Republican, would be eliminating the individual mandate that requires individuals to purchase health insurance or pay a penalty.

 

Facing reporters for his first post-election news conference, Boehner ticked off a list of items at or near the top of the GOP agenda. They also include reducing the nation's debt, overhauling the tax code and changing the legal and regulatory systems.

 

The speaker also warned that if Obama takes unilateral action on immigration, he risks losing a revolt by GOP lawmakers and the possibility of a comprehensive deal.

 

"I believe if the president acts on his own, he risks poisoning the well," Boehner said. "If you play with matches, you will get burnt."

"Voter suppression watch: In the North Carolina Senate race, Thom Tillis beat Senator Kay Hagen by 48,000 votes. North Carolina’s voters were, for the first time, voting under one of the harshest new election laws in the country — which Tillis helped craft. The Election Protection hotline reported widespread problems with voter registrations and voters being told they were in the wrong precinct. Numbers from recent elections suggest the magnitude of voter suppression is close to 45,000 to 50,000 votes.

Similarly, in Kansas, Governor Sam Brownback beat back challenger Paul Davis by fewer than 33,000 votes. The Kansas secretary of state says more than 24,000 Kansans tried to register this year but their registrations were held in “suspense” because they failed to present the documentary proof of citizenship now required by state law. And the Government Accountability Office found that Kansas’s voter ID law reduced turnout by 17,000 voters in 2012. You do the math."

What's even more disgusting is Obama giving a press conference immediately following the election, saying he will now work with Republicans and compromise. What the fu c k was he doing before? Sticking his fingers in his ears and going "na na nani boo boo?"

Compromise is a two way street my man.

It's a pretty good threat. If Obama acts, Boehner will continue to not act. Boehner's Charlie Brown/Foot ball scenario is getting a little tired, isn't it?

 

Go big, President Obama. Whatever he does will be labeled as tyranny . . . so he might as well accomplish something significant.

More Dems in denial. For libs the loss can never be blamed on their policies but on suppression of the vote, stupid voters (as noted on this forum) and now on Ebola (when will GWB come up?)

Compromise to the present GOP means giving them everything that they want.

Hey . . . not sure you want to go down that road. 2012 wasn't that long ago. I'm sure some of us remember, right?
