ECONOMY:

Democrats blame the economy for their crushing defeat, when in reality they should blame big-government because it trashed the economy.

The economic collapse of the US written to the tune of Bye, Bye Miss American Pie.

FEDERAL RESERVE:

And right on queue, Bernanke announces it will devalue the dollar by printing up another $600 billion and monetize that much federal debt. This money will end up pushing up the stock market more, creating the illusion the economy is doing better, but in fact it is making us all poorer because our dollars aren't worth as much. Interest rates immediately shot up after the announcement in anticipation of price inflation.

A short history of money manipulation.

HEALTH CARE:

I wonder how much Tom Daschle got paid to pretend that people support Obamacare. Promoting the Big Lie, even when everybody knows it's a Big Lie, pays.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

Pharoh Obama's trip to India has a bigger carbon footprint than many cities.

California voters continue to destroy their state by defeating proposition 23 which would have suspended CO2 caps and by electing Democrats. They also refused to legalize marijuana. The people who are leaving must be the rational people, leaving only the loons behind.

Issue of National Geographic highlights the hypocrisy of the global warming frauds, mentioning how Greenland was warmer during the time of Eric the Red in an article about how man-made global warming is returning Greenland to that warmer climate.

WAR ON DRUGS:

What in the world are Americans doing in Cuidad Juarez, besides getting murdered? Why in the world would anybody go to this city where drug cartels control the city and massacre people several times a week? These are more victims of murderers, prohibitionists, and their own stupidity.

POLITICS:

Ron Paul wins 79 percent of the vote in his district.

Nothing is going to change.

"Wolf Blitzer of CNN just asked House Minority Whip Eric Cantor to name one specific program that the Republicans in the House are going to cut now that they have a majority. Cantor couldn’t name one. Blitzer then asked him the question a second time. Again, Cantor couldn’t name one. Not one."

Of course not, but by winning the House, hypocritical Republicans positioned themselves perfectly for 2012. They can force all kinds of meaningless votes on the Senate and vetoes on Obama, pretending to be government cutters without actually cutting anything. And the economy will continue to get worse. Then  in 2012 they can sweep both houses and the presidency and get back to vastly expanding the size and scope of government and their power and wealth just like they did in 2000. America is screwed. This is eerily similar to what happened in 2006 when voters resoundingly rejected big-government Bush the Younger. Democrats promised responsible government. Then they won big, except for Obama, in 2008 and governed just like the Republicans had, but worse. The people keep rejecting big government, but all the two parties deliver is even bigger government in response. They're so corrupt, it's all they know how to do. I reject Tucker's implication that voting doesn't matter. If we would elect a group of people who would actually cut government programs, it would matter. The problem is voters never do that, and the two parties have so thoroughly corrupted the system, that it's nearly impossible, nearly being the key word, to do so.

"Elections deal with superficial issues, not fundamental ones."

This is an example of how words reflect thought. Tucker shows his collectivist leaning here. Elections don't deal with superficial issues. Elections don't have a will of their own. Candidates deal with superficial issues. Voters often have the power to reject Republicans and Democrats in favor of other candidates, but they never do so. My ballot had five libertarians on it. Voters could have put a libertarian in the governor's mansion, the US Senate, the treasurer's office, the attorney general's office and the auditor's office (I think those are right), but they refused to do so. Elections aren't our problem. Voters are our problem.

Remember all the flak Republicans gave Nancy Pelosi when she demanded the Air Force provider her a giant, personal jet? It'll be interesting to see if Boehner gives it back and takes a less expensive personal jet.

Boortz recognizes the same thing about Republicans failing to take the Senate that I did.

"I've been wondering aloud for weeks what the effect might be on 2012 if the Republicans had both the House and the Senate ... with Obama standing alone as the champion of the Left at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It would be a classic "me vs. them" and would be so easy to spin in to an "Obama as besieged underdog" scenario."

That's for sure. Don't get me wrong. As the economy continues to get worse over the next two years, even while Bernanke continues to inflate to make it appear less bad than it actually is, the mainstream media will blame House Republicans for blocking Obama's agenda. But Obama is probably happy at the situation. For a year his party had a big majority in the House, a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate and the presidency. As much as he tried to blame Republicans for his failures, it was obvious to everybody Republicans had no power to stop him. Now they do. Now he can blame them with some credibility. His Alinsky techniques might be more effective. But I doubt it will work for him. Unless we suffer a major terrorist attack, it's hard to see how Obama can win in 2012. I doubt even starting a war with Iran will save him.

Democrats can't blame spending because they significantly outspent Republicans.

MEDIA:

The media covered Christine O'Donnel more than any other candidate in this election as they tried to use her to paint the entire tea party as radical and dumb.

MISC:

Sparky Anderson placed in hospice because of dementia. That's sad.
