With the high probability that the GOP takes the Senate near I look forward to this:

Just ignore the months of you saying how it wasn't going to happen and how Obamacare was a big nothing and the Democrats were popular. You never meant any of it. You were hoping for this all along.
If the Republicans controlling things is so great, maybe the Democrats should just not field any candidates in 2016 and let the Republican control everything. That would show them.
You're lying again.
I said voting patterns would follow historical trends and the ACA would not be a factor like you loons kept saying.
The ACA seems to be a big enough factor that the Dems are running from it.
I hear shrieking. Today's freak show must have started.
Is Sean Haugh Gary Johnson's cousin? Are there any male Libertarian candidates that aren't effeminate and nerdy? Is this why there are no female libertarians?
You think Gary Johnson is effeminate?
Reason's Attack Ads Circa 1800 is how I found this site.
To think, it all started because of the half breed son of a squaw raised on ho cakes.
OT: How does Minnesota, a state without large minority populations that are already in the Dem corner, give a 10% lead to Al Freaking Franken? Is fascism in the 10,000 lake drinking water or what?
He's a semi-celebrity, and Minnesotans are a ridiculously stupid group.
Thank God there is a Libertarian running for Gov of IL - the ads the TEAM BLUE and TEAM RED folks are putting out make me want to set something on fire - preferably the call centers for which the unwanted "poll" and ad calls come from.
"TEAM RED Guy smothers oldsters in their beds...for money and the joy of it both."
"TEAM BLUE Guy has run the state into the ground because he is Satan in a clueless Donkey suit."
OT: 10 hours of walking in NYC as a man.
