Election results

Happy?

Disappointed?

Don't care?

well what do you think?

As a poll manager in my local precinct we had the largest turnout I have ever seen in this area since I have been poll manager in 2004. I was quite impressed especially with the hour and 15 minute wait, long ass ballot. I find the National poll results interesting and look forward to the upcoming fireworks, but dread the volatility of the future of politics, I see things only getting worse.

Your turn

Glad my boss won another term as SLCO Sheriff.

Glad to see Sim Gill beat out Miller for SLCO DA.

Glad to see Matheson retain his seat.

Not happy to see Mike Lee go to Washington.

Glad to see the dems keep majority in the US senate.

Prop 19 in California failed (legalize and tax cannabis) would have been nice to see how that would have worked out as a test for the rest of the country to watch.

Peter Coroon lost (big suprise) so we are still stuck with a far right executive that won't put anything our far right legislators pass in check. Get ready for more message bills and unwinnable court battles with the federal government.

All in all things turned out like I expected and life goes on.

Is Reason correct?

Very true.

I disagree, I was scared at the thought of Coroon as governor, the more research I did the more scared I got.

I thought things turned out well. The people have spoken, but it is obvious no one is listening. The President was on TV spewing his same BS, at what point do you finally realize the majority of Americans are not happy with you?

Thank you!

I'd also add that this election is not a bed of roses for Republicans. If they screw up, it WILL be the death of the party.

Cuz they're doing such a great job right?

If it's just business and politics as usual, then yes.

If they actually do something, then you will see change and resolutions of some problems.

Right on the money, brother!

As far as the ReasonTV video goes, it's pretty much spot on except that I think the repub house will keep any further porkulus packages from being passed and if the lame duck session doesn't extend the Bush tax cuts the new session in 2011 will get it done. I also believe that our economy will see a stronger upturn now that we have pro-business heads in the house.

YONNI...I love the photo of the Eagle and the GOP ...we shall see...I'm think'n the tea baggers will usurp the GOP and will have a lot to do with splitting the ticket in 2012...THANK YOU for the best photo I've seen...proof is in the pudd'n come 2012...don't ya think???.

Wahoooo with Angle and O'Donnell the voters realized how these 2-women were dunders...oh and for Palin in the 2012...yep being a woman I'd stay as far away from that Nut-Job as I can...'Palins words will come back to haunt her'...something like...why would I want to sit in a stuffy political office when I have this'...

Glad the other Nut Job Hannity no longer is noise on the radio as I drive home making me change the station...nice to listen to other things not the spewing of constant GLOOM and DOOM.

Just hope the parties will try and work together for the betterment of this country...will be an interesting 24 months if the BOTH PARTIES pulls their heads (winning the John Deere Raffle ticket) ...but as I recall Regean and Clinton didn't fair well for mid-terms for their parties but were re-elected for another 4-years...so the same will happen with President Obama...We shall see...hope some of you don't spin like tops if Obama wins in 2012...we shall see...again will be a very interesting 24 months...who will rise to the occasion for the GOP...??? Or will the Tea Baggers help seal someone fate...????

Again...Thanks YONNI for the great photo on this page...MADE MY DAY!!!

Sorry Fatbass...based on what you showed as the link...well won't go there...so my dear friend you're showing your true colors if you post a link with sexual act in parens after it as I won't go to it. And you can't tell me for one minute what I stated was to me a sexual act of some sort...come-on...you may go to those sites....hmmmmmm....I DON'T and have no desire to know what that has to say...gezzzzzz true colors Jim...hardly!!!! And again the Tea Baggers will split the ticket or are they a real 'PARTY'??? Like I stated it will be an interesting 24 months and I really hope both parties will try and work together for the betterment of our Country...

Yonni...post up the pic in a larger size as I can't make it out.

It would just be a terrible thing if us Tea Partiers helped to restore our Constitutionally protected liberties, forced our country's financials out of the red and at the same time kept us from Obama's Marxist goals.

FWIW...Maybe one should watch these rallies and see the folks with 'TEA BAGS' hanging from hats and other places. So I call it as I see it just like others do on various topics. They are extremists that will break the GOP . You may not believe it but I'm Republican but this party has gone way to over board for me...I don't for one minute believe the Consistution is a rigid inflexible document...times change my fellow Americans...some only see it that this document is one way...well many others don't...I'm one of those.

Now if one considers my comments of Tea Baggers as 'sexual' or 'derogatory' in nature thats their call as narrow minded...maybe one should look at those protraying this movement or party...OBTW what are they a 'movement' or 'party'???? (they'll split the ticket is all I'll say)...

So I'll leave it at that as some things are left better unsaid...I'm also so sorry and individual me a PM over the summer...I wish this individual never sent this PM as we're old enough to know when one is out enjoying the great Utah outdoors everything else needs to be kept to oneself. For us it has tarnished a very nice relationship.

We can agree to disagree...one can label another as is whats the case on this forum...but you don't me and I'd say I do know enough about others on this forum to make a very educated assessment....but when it comes down to this...we live in the same great Country and we all breathe the same God giving Earth air...so I'll leave it at that. Have a great weekend and week.

K2, I sincerely believe you didn't mean "teabaggers" in the way Fatbass referenced, but I know for a fact that most of the people that call the tea party "teabaggers" means it in the way the link showed. IMO some of the tea party people aren't the brightest, at least the ones at the protests. I remember seeing a news story showing a tea party rally and a few of them called themselves teabaggers, I cracked up when I saw it and in fact told my wife I bet they don't even know what that means. I think that is why fatbass pointed it out is because of the majority of people saying that is using it in a derogatory manner and I will be the first to admit there are some tea party folks that need to go away.

Ignorance breeds hate.

Ignorance of the tea party has brought out the haters that like to focus on the small percentage of ANY population that falls outside of the normal distribution. There are some fringe crackpots in EVERY group, but that does not delegitimize the core message of the larger group as a whole.

Taxed Enough Already is what T.E.A. stands for and it's a backlash against corporate welfare especially when the money given to these giant firms is coming from the American taxpayer. What really boils me is that America is already spending far more than they are taking in. Each American is in debt to our government's creditors $40k (in addition to their personal debts) ands that's rising daily due to our government's profligate spending.

Every new baby born in this country is born into debt. That debt is OUR debt WE have foisted upon him. It is a form of slavery since he will have to be taxed at an increasingly higher level to pay down that debt that we have left for him...and for WHAT? So that the richest, most powerful people in America can stay millionaires through government bailouts; so that people too lazy or stupid to work have 2 years of unemployment checks; so that illegal immigrants live better than our veterans, etc...

America must learn to live within its means and that means returning the federal government to a manageable size and nipping its tendrils that creep into the personal lives of its citizens. We tea partiers aim to help the republicans get back on track since the old guard republicans seem to have lost their way.

Hey Fatbass - I like it. Rock on man!

So why is the TEA party being called out as extreme, racists, and whackos? The democrat party has been just as polarized and hijacked. The liberal party name has much different meaning, such as marxist/communist, just calling it how I see it I would say the dems are in fact more violent, extreme, racist then any person claiming to be part of the tea party. Just look at the difference from the 2 recent rallys, yes this is from a libertarian site but look at the responses given to the questions.

One Nation Rally


Glen Beck rally


I have more to say but let's just start with this

I agree with all that you said, the media must do a good job of finding those nut jobs because that is about all you see on tv. I agree with the message of the tea party, but I am still on the fence if this whole experiment is going to work. If they get nothing accomplished in the next two years you will see a shift back to democratic power is my prediction, so I hope the new guys get in their and make some noise.
