I am really disappointed Harry Reid is going to remain in office.

I am very happy Harry Reid is going to remain in office.  :thrilled:

I am disappointed at this election. At least Jerry Brown has been elected to the governor's office again. That's good news.

Time will tell! While I am strongly conservative in my views I don't agree with everything the republicans do. I do believe though that having one party dominate the presidency, house and senate is unbalanced. Lets see what new ideas are brought into our government and if campaign promises are kept

Honestly, I just wish there was far more cooperation among all politicians.  It should be clear that it's going to take an entire group effort from everyone to solve all the issues plaguing our country.  No offense to you all who like politics, but I'm personally sick of it due to all the arguing, debating, and lack of action.  Instead of trying to polarize this nation further, how about we finally put aside our differences and start realizing that we do have things in common and work together to solve everything using facts, numbers, and scientific proof instead of biased opinions and subjective "my way or the highway" thoughts?  That's my pleading cry to everyone who was elected tonight irregardless of what party they represent.

As you can tell, I've been extremely wary about this thread, and I'm glad you all kept it peaceful.  I sadly have no more patience for political fights.  Lately, I just can't enjoy elections, and I really don't know how you all can. :(

Mike, that's too bad.  I think everyone should care what goes on in the political world.

I'll be honest, I have absolutely no opinion on anyone.  While I do work in the news industry, I couldn't tell you anything about any of the candidates.  I just have not been able to get into this election.  Usually I am.  I wish I cared, but I honestly do not.  I am surprised, however, that Illinois is leaning more to the right than the left.

Maybe I'd be more interested if every commercial was not a political ad bashing another politician.  How about some  POSITIVE ad's from politians telling the viewer why voting for them will make a difference.
Thank God it's over.

I guess voters took him seriously when he said "but for me, we'd be in a world-wide depression."

:facepalm:

On one hand, Harry Reid is a disgrace. On the other hand, I wonder what violence by the union workers would've occurred had he'd lost, as he promised them much (and they spent much to elect and re-elect him). :hmm:

So what has Harry Reid done for you, TampaMillTWC88?

Yah, always good to have someone in office that has no plan.

You sound like me two years ago. I was once naive in thinking that I don't have to participate in politics. That there wasn't much of a difference between the parties. That the media wasn't biased. And that there was no such thing as an "evil" politician.

Boy was I in for a rude awakening! As sad as it may seem, there are politicians out there that just want power. They don't give a damn about you or this country. All they want is to be re-elected. And they'll make whatever deals they can to get re-elected (with the help of donations from big corporations and unions).

Like it or not, our freedom isn't a done deal. We have to keep fighting for it. Both in war and in elections. To quote Ben Franklin, when a woman asked him what he and the founding fathers had given them, "a Republic, if you can keep it."

So unless you're okay with politicians deciding what doctor you can see, what college you can go to, what food you can eat, etc, I urge you (and everyone else that "doesn't care") to get involved! It doesn't matter which "side" you pick, just make sure you know what you believe, educate yourself on history of both parties, pay attention to what's going on, and vote! :thumbsup:

And for the love of sanity, please don't use The Daily Show and/or The Colbert Report as your primary source for news. :nono:

And that sir, is partly why this country is in the shitter.

Mike, are you saying that because you're annoyed by the dirty, negative ways politics have been the past couple of years or do you seriously don't care? I hope it's the former and not the latter because as Tyler said that's the reason were in the crapper. It makes me think about how people complain and whine about how they don't like the democrat, republican, independent, libertarian, or whatever that's in office, but they are the main ones who never vote or take the time to listen to the candidates on their policies and agendas so they can voice their opinions on who they trust to look out for them. I'm not saying you have to love the practice of politics, but I wouldn't take an attitude of completely discouraging myself away from it, you wouldn't want just any lunatic to walk off the street and be in charge and responsible for you and everyone's future in your city, state or country.

@Martin's reaction to my statement about California.

I must have confused a few people. I'm saying I'm surprised that for a while, the republican candidate put up a strong fight against Boxer. I'm not surprised at all that California kept a Democratic senator.
