2010 Election Results

[Jiro]

Umm.... GOP won senate races 24-11 with 2 left to be decided. Even 24-13 is a wipe out.

There was a 16 seat differential......now it appears there will be a 4 seat difference. That means the GOP made up 75% of the ground with only 37% of the seats contested.....Again wipe out.

tick tock tick tock. it is predicted that Democrats will win the Senate.

That's a purty darn dang good crystal ball there alright .... where could I buy me one? I got one on e-bay and it didn't work.

 

[Steinhauer]

but.... it was a dictatorship.... so you're saying the dictatorship began with George Washington to now?

The system of government that we now have was based upon the system of government the Romans established.

The same system of government the British established was also modelled after the Roman system of government.

So the claim that the Americans "copied" the British is incorrect.

Both systems of government were based on the Roman system of government.

Since the Roman system of government pre-dates that of the United Kingdom and the United States, it would be fair to give credit to the Romans.

The idea of the Republic to the Romans was based off of a hatred for the idea of a king.

crystal ball means you can see into future. no such thing exists. I merely made a simple prediction based on current situation.

but since you had to ask.... Larry J. Sabato's Crystal Ball

If the Bill of Rights of 1689 never exist, the Patriots would had never gotten the notion they should revolt in order to get the same concept on their continent.

the idea that the Patriots were "copying" an idea of revolution and it suddenly appeared on our continent is absolutely absurd.

Absurd isn't something you eat with a spoon

actually - you implied it.

If there were never a Roman Empire, the government of the United Kingdon would never have existed.

and if UK didn't exist, America wouldn't have existed.

 

[Steinhauer]

actually - you implied it.


seriously, do you have reading comprehension problems? I don't mean that as an insult ....

and if UK didn't exist, America wouldn't have existed.

The idea of a revolution didn't just suddenly appear on our continent because of some peice of paper the British passed through their parliament - the idea of revolution is ....... very old.

YouTube - 300: This is Sparta

so now you're saying it's from Spartan (Greece) instead of Roman?

I am saying the idea of revolution isn't something the British "invented". :roll:

 

[Jiro]

but... how did you go from "system of government" to "idea of revolution" in your post #123?

since you're jumping all over the place with irrelevant & inconsistent points.... plus you have an erroneous understanding of American history... I take it that you're not in your best mood.

In post 123 you were stating that George Washington was a dictator because he was POTUS.

Now your asking questions relating to "systems of government' and "revolution" and how they tie in to a post where it was implied Americans "got the idea of revolution from a peice of paper the British passed through parliament" and that I had implied this.

No, I didn't imply it.

No, George Washington was not a dictator.

No, the British did not invent the idea of a revolution.

No, Americans did not "copy" our system of government from the British.



Any more questions?

did you actually take American history? Did you root for the loyalists and think they were right?

As you stated in another post, do you really think the POTUS has absolute power and everything else is subordinate to the POTUS?

Since you have clearly stated that - you need a refresher course on how that belief is absolutely false.

 

[Steinhauer]

since when the President has to answer to subordinate?

just posting the quote where you implied the President has absolute power in case you forgot all about it.

That clearly demonstrates you do not fully comprehend how the US Constitution functions and what it represents. The Constitution clearly states that THE PEOPLE are in charge of this nation, not the president.


The current POTUS has not listened to the will of THE PEOPLE, and instead, chose to enforce his will on THE PEOPLE. That is NOT what the US Constitution allows.

In fact, that is a form of tyranny, a dictator, a pontiff, a despot ......

 

[Jiro]

In post 123 you were stating that George Washington was a dictator because he was POTUS.

um... no I didn't state such thing. I asked you if you're saying George Washington was a dictator since.... it's what Roman Empire was based on... dictatorship.

Now your asking questions relating to "systems of government' and "revolution" and how they tie in to a post where it was implied Americans "got the idea of revolution from a peice of paper the British passed through parliament" and that I had implied this.

No, I didn't imply it.

imply imply imply. Perhaps you should ask for clarification instead of assuming.

No, George Washington was not a dictator.

No, the British did not invent the idea of a revolution.

did souggy say "invented" in his post?

No, Americans did not "copy" our system of government from the British.

nobody said that except you.

Any more questions?

did you actually take American history?

yes. Embarrassing that the Canadian and a Korean-born guy know it better than you.

Did you root for the loyalists and think they were right?

how did you come to that point?

As you stated in another post, do you really think the POTUS has absolute power and everything else is subordinate to the POTUS?

Since you have clearly stated that - you need a refresher course on how that belief is absolutely false.

I have clearly stated that? where?

so you're saying the President has to answer to say.... soldier whose ranking is Private? I dunno about you but the ladder goes up, not down. That's why we the people elected him to lead us with the best of his ability. He has the power afforded by the Constitution and laws to make decisions - whether or not if we like it.

and

Notice how this important document does not grant power to the President?

THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION - We the People

read Article II.

your reading comprehension = EPIC FAIL?

feel free to ask if you need any more clarification about the American history.

 

[Foxrac]

I think so, too. Probably double the debt in 4 years. No bailout for California with the change in the HR. Sorry.

Whatever, obviously, you take on him because of his party.

It means you see ALL democrats as debt stricken.

 

[Banjo]

As expected, the Republicans is now the majority in the House. Although I think people were overestimating how many seats they would take over. As far I am concerned, not much is going to change. People will still be acting like children refusing to cooperate for the sake of their political agenda.

This election is nothing compared to the federal election of 1993 in Canada. The PC party had 169 seats prior to the 1993 election. After that, they only had 2 seats left. The NDP had around 43 seats and they went down to 9 seats.

Two parties, the Bloc and Reform parties, won 54 seats and 52 seats. Bloc was a new party at the time, Reform wasn't. The biggest winner was the Liberal party with 177 seats, a gain of 94 seats.

We never saw such results in the federal election in the history of Canada.

Oh yes because of Goods and Services Tax (GST) and I haven't seen GST being repeal in majority liberals.

 

[Barbaro]

I'm glad Christine O'Donnell was not elected due to her odd ideas. I was a bit disappointed that CA rejected Prop 19. At least CA permits medical marijuana.

 

[Banjo]

Of course it wasn't repelled. It's a cash cow. The Liberal party promised they would get rid of it. It never happened.

However, the Conservatives did cut it down from 7% to 5%. But still...
