Ted Cruz has already promised to refuse to pledge support for McConnell.

*maniacal giggling*

[smjjames]

*Breaking news*


Ted Cruz's agenda: repeal Obamacare

Along with sending the US into default the next opportunity that happens.

[TamerVirus]

Seems like everyone here is uniformly democrat.

Typical.

"Well, the election's over, and even we have enough decency to wait a couple of months before we start fussing over 2016. Who're we going to fight now?"

EDIT: If it's any consolation, TamerVirus, I'm only in this party out of necessity. I dislike every party line position in the GOP, and I only dislike most of the Democrat ones.

Lol.

Not so! I'm a Rockefeller Republican, and a large number of Bay12ers are further to the left than your standard-issue Democrat voter. We're pretty much all united in our loathing of the modern (post-Reagan) GOP, though.

[smjjames]

What do you mean by Rockefeller republican?

[TamerVirus]

The google tells me that the equivalent term is moderate republican

True that. I'm so far left leaning that I don't really have any candidates that represent what I want out of society.

[misko27]

Bah! I have transcended the false left-right dichotomy! Anarcho-monarchism one true ideology.

EDIT: More seriously, it appears the mounting republican gains in recent days weren't anomalous.

[Frumple]

Sitting in the middle is not "transcendence", misk.

It's called "spitroast".

[Powder Miner]

I'm one of the more conservative folks on here, I think, but I'm never really active in these threads.
I'm not the biggest fan of either party, though; While I do generally agree with the GOP on economic matters, I'm opposed to... really about everything they put out socially, however, sinc eI consider myself more of a libertarian than a real hardline conservative.

I suspect I'm much happier about the senate election results than about everyone here; the Senate can't do a thing to stop a lot of the social policies that I'm for (like legalization of gay marriage) since the tide is sweeping through the states themselves, and I'm not a fan of the general Democratic economic plan.

...and yeah, some of the GOP senators are crazies, probably more than those of the Democrats... but that's the nature of politicians. To believe that only Republicans are the crazies would be silly.

[TamerVirus]

I just like money

And things related to me having money in my pocket

ITS MY MONEY AND I NEED IT NOW

[GreatJustice]

Yeah there's a few non-Democrats, they just rarely post in this thread and much fanfare is made when they do.

Anyhow, I don't care much either way for the results. I can't say I was a fan of the Democratic Senate, but most of the Republicans that won their seats were scumbags who aren't an improvement (eg that corporatist goon Tillis). On the plus side, some of the new House seats have Amash-esque winners that I can sorta stand behind, and I can watch the frothing at the mouth of hardcore Democrat supporters, so that's always nice.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Mm, so, looks like it's time for a deluge of veto-fodder eh? Or the dems go hypocrite & start abusing the filibuster like the pubs did. And then get called out on it by similarly hypocrite pubs.

Who is this Amash fellow and why should I froth about him?
