Serious post, why are the republicans getting so much support now? What did they do? Is it just the inverse of "Not Obama" like with George Bush?

It's because they're all racist and don't want to see a noble black man continue to succeed

obama is a secret antichrist muslim socialist community sent out to destroy the hard working corporations and white people of america

of course everyone loving hates him for that and not that he's a black version of reagan-bush, so voting even more to the right will show that socialist whose boss

The Democrats don't currently control the Senate because they pretend that they need 60 votes for almost anything, and they will never have 60 votes. The Republicans are running the show already anyway.

The only difference is that now Obama gets policial cover to approve Keystone XL, get the TPP done ("NAFTA x 1000"), and he'll probably get his Grand Bargain to cut Social Security as well.

They are a bunch of nutbags as well, but they have to keep it on the down-low. Over there they can actually say batshit lunatic things in public and have choruses of agreement. Michell Bachmann anyone? She was/is one of the best

If you'll remember, even WITH a 60 seat majority they were incapable of getting poo poo done. The Democrats are the Washington Generals of American politics.

Because they played and won the very cynical game of "break poo poo and the people in charge will get blamed, and it just so happens that is the outcome we want."

It doesn't work so well when everyone is paying attention in a presidential year, but it's a pretty jackpot strategy when dealing with an electorate that skews white and old in red states in an off cycle election.

Not to defend that idiot, but at some point we have to let the Democratic politicians face consequences for years of horrible Republican-lite policies.

If Democratic voters just stopped showing up altogether (even in Presidential years) the Democratic Party might have to pull it back to the left a little. They might have to sell their product with something other than "look at how similar we are to Republicans" or "look at how scary the Republicans are" depending on the audience.

I'm just saying that when presented with two completely garbage options, "gently caress this poo poo" is a completely valid response, and might be the most logical one.
