WHAT LANDSLIDE? Obama threatens vetoes and executive orders – including immigration reform THIS YEAR

• Congress will pass some bills I cannot sign,' the president warned
• He has only vetoed  two minor bills since his inauguration in 2009
• And 'I'll take some actions that some in Congress will not like,' Obama added, referring to threatened executive orders
• Those include a bold move on immigration 'before the end of the year'
• President sounded more like a winner than a loser despite his policies being repudiated on a national scale
• Never articulated a single policy where he would shift his position to align with GOP majorities in both houses of Congress

President Barack Obama came out swinging on Wednesday just 14 hours after a Republican wave swept over the U.S. Congress in an election that largely repudiated his policies.

'Congress will pass some bills I cannot sign,' he said, threatening to dust off a veto pen that he has used only twice in nearly six years.

And he hinted at executive orders that will enrage conservatives. 

'I'm pretty sure I'll take some actions that some in Congress will not like,' he said. 'That's natural. That's how Democracy works.'

Much of reporters' tussling with the president focused on executive orders related to immigration reform – what some tea party Republicans call an 'amnesty' – which he plans to implement this year.

He acknowledged that the GOP won Tuesday's elections, but framed the results as a mandate for Republicans to work with him, instead of the other way around.

'Obviously the Republicans had a good night,' he said.

FIND THAT MESSAGE: Obama’s policies were on the ballot — we have it on good authority (Obama’s).  That includes “comprehensive immigration reform,” as embodied in the Chuck Schumer’s Senate “Gang of 8″ legalization + immigration increase bill. So how did it do? Let’s see:

Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas voted for the Gang of 8 bill. He’s GONE.

Sen. Kay Hagan of North Carolina voted for the Gang of 8 bill. GONE.

Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado voted for the Gang of 8 bill. GONE

Sen. Mark Begich of Alaska voted for the Gang of 8 bill. Almost certainly GONE

Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana voted for the Gang of 8 bill. She will probably be GONE after a January runoff.

Where Guns Won And Lost In The 2014 Midterm Elections

Posted by Bob Owens on November 6, 2014 at 9:14 am

The pundit class of the mainstream media is apparently still in shock and denial over the results of the 2014 midterm elections, a contest that was so-only sided that it’s hard to put into context. The results of a handful of races are still in doubt thanks to run-off elections and recounts, but the overall outcome is clear. Republicans will have control of up to 54 seats in the U.S. Senate, and up to 250 seats in the House of Representatives. Republicans scored huge gains on the state level as well, winning the governor’s mansions and control of the legislatures in even traditionally “blue” states.

It was—to put it mildly—a historic butt-whooping, and the worst election for Democrats since the 1920s, since before progressives (then more accurately described as communists and socialists) were even part of the party.

Governor’s Races

In Colorado, it appears that Democrat John Hickenlooper, reeling and running from the gun control legislation that he signed, barely retained office in a race that he would have otherwise easily won if he hadn’t inflamed so many gun owners. Future gun control in Colorado is a dead issue… at least for a while.

Connecticut governor Dannel Malloy retained office in his dark blue state due to a weak opponent and a sizable party advantage, and now enters a dangerous second term, where he must figure out how to live with more than 100,000 gun owners who refused to comply with the state’s “assault weapon” registration law. Largely ignored by the national media, Connecticut is a powder keg that could easily erupt into a civil war if Malloy dares to attempt confiscation of hundreds of thousands of firearms and millions of standard capacity magazines that citizens refused to register.

Across the border in neighboring New York Andrew Cuomo coasted to reelection as governor thanks to a massive downstate advantage in New York City, but has even less hope of enforcing the more onerous provisions of NY SAFE than Malloy does, with owners of over a million “assault weapons” in the Empire State refusing to comply.

House Democrats deep in abyss

By ALEX ISENSTADT | 11/5/14 8:00 PM EST

After a night of punishing losses, House Democrats are deeper in the minority than they’ve been in nearly 80 years — and party strategists say it could take years — possibly until after the next round of political map-drawing in the 2020s — to dig out of the hole.

With votes still being counted in more than a dozen congressional districts, Democrats were on track to shed 13 to 16 seats, an outcome that would leave the party with as few as 185 of the chamber’s 435 seats. The last time Democrats had such a small House delegation, Herbert Hoover was president, Charlie Chaplin was making movies, and Alka Seltzer was just hitting the shelves.

Krauthammer: Midterms ‘A Nuclear Explosion,’ ‘The Worst Wall-To-Wall Shellacking You Will Ever See’ [VIDEO]

Discussing the midterm elections Wednesday night, syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer told “Special Report” host Bret Baier the Republican victories were “the worst wall-to-wall, national, unmistakable, unequivocal shellacking that you will ever see” and a “nuclear explosion.”

Krauthammer hit President Barack Obama for pretending the election didn’t mean much as he noted during his afternoon press conference that “two-thirds of the electorate didn’t show up.”

Here's what #RepublicanTakeover Looks Like

At the time of this writing, Republicans have picked up nine seats in the House, pushing them to a muscular 243-seat majority.

For House Speaker John Boehner, that means the bar is set high for legislative accomplishments in the next two years. For the national political landscape, that means a lot of red. Here's the lower chamber of the 114th Congress, in vivid color.

A number of races remain undecided, and the colors for these districts on the map were determined using the majority vote there as it stood at 12 p.m. on Nov. 5 We'll update the map as more results come in.

#RepublicanTakeover - YOU DID IT!

Last night YOU won!

Harry Reid was fired – he will no longer be the Senate Majority Leader. Because of you, we were able to flip enough seats to take the Senate. And, we were able to fire at least three Democrats in Arkansas, Colorado, and North Carolina.

And because of you, the Freedom Caucus grew in the House. Bruce Poliquin, Rod Blum, Mia Love, Ken Buck, and Alex Mooney will be joining Thomas Massie, Tom McClintock, and Justin Amash in Congress. We don’t have all the results yet, and we could still elect two more Freedom Fighters in Maryland and Washington, you made DC listen. Thank you so much for your hard work and support. My staff wants to make sure you know how crucial you were to this amazing victory. That’s why we put together this special card for you. Last night we won the first round. Today, the fight continues as we start pushing a positive agenda that will show every American why freedom works. Thank you so much.

In Liberty,

Matt Kibbe

#RepublicanTakeover is to Stop Barack Obama, Not to Work with Him

November 05, 2014

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: What I want to do here is cut to the chase. The result yesterday is exactly what I said it would be. The Republican Party now has one of the most important and unquestionable mandates a political party has ever had at its junction with American history, especially a political party which did not run on a national agenda. The Republican Party purposely stood mute nationally.

Now, if you go into the races, the House and Senate raises all over the country, you will find that many Republican candidates ran specifically against Obamacare, and that is an important note to make and an important thing for you to remember. Individual Republican candidates won, and they won big. They won in a wave landslide running against Obamacare. The national Republican brand or image didn't say a word, which makes the mandate that they have all the more incredible.

It is rare that a political party running for office in a midterm election not standing for anything ends up with a mandate, and they have one, and it is the biggest and perhaps the most important mandate a political party has had in the recent era, and it is very simple what that mandate is. It is to stop Barack Obama. It is to stop the Democrats. There is no other reason why Republicans were elected yesterday. Republicans were not elected to govern.

How can you govern with a president that disobeys the Constitution? How can you govern with a president that is demonstrably lawless when he thinks he has to be? The Republican Party was not elected to fix a broken system or to make it work. The Republican Party was not elected to compromise. The Republican Party was not elected to sit down and work together with the Democrats. The Republican Party was not elected to slow down the speed the country is headed to the cliff and go over it slowly.

The Republican Party was elected to stop before we get to the cliff. And that's the mandate: to stop Obamacare; to stop amnesty; to stop the open borders policy of Obama and the Democrats; to stop the Big Government assault on the free enterprise economy; to stop national security policies that have allowed terrorist networks all over the world to pop up and fill a vacuum created by the absence of the world's lone superpower on the world stage. That must be stopped.

The Republican Party was elected to stop the run-up of a debt greater than all previous presidents combined have created. The Republican Party was elected to stop efforts by this administration to use the IRS and other agencies of government, in violation of manners and law, in attacking political opponents. The Republican Party was elected to put an end to this incessant and divisive lie that is the War on Women. Yesterday's result cannot in any way mean that voters want Republicans to work with Democrats. And anybody who tells you that and anybody who thinks that could not be more dangerously wrong.

You do not have election results like we had yesterday with the intent being that the voters intend the winners to work with the losers. This election was about stopping the losers, in this case the Democrats. There can be no other correct analysis of what this election was about. They were not elected to "fix a broken system."

They were elected to stop the people who are breaking the system.

#RepublicanTakeOver - WE WON!!! Nov 4, 2014

Yesterday, here on Chi's Far North side (Rogers Park) in our Precint we had to turn away about 10 voters (Our of 200+) - 3 could not vote at all, 3 wrong precint, 3 had to register so were sent downtown. Even the Brain-Dead Democrats could not put up with it all so some went home.

It was a lot worse in Lakeview where some voters were still waiting at 3:00 AM Due to equipment failures and un-qualifed personnel. 

The PLANNIG was VERY POOR and probably sent even more of those voters home in precints that were worse off.

I'm sure you've heard about the ROBO-CALLS that Illiois Election Judges got on Sat - tellins us we had to attend a special JUDGE TRAINING on the South Side. Judges were confused and some very confused and some quit.  I got one but knew that the ONLY TRAINING on Sunday was an OPTIONAL JUDGES TRAINIG at the Loyola Park fieldhouse to ignored it since the number left was wrong or our Ward. 

The PPA (Polling Place Administrator - who sets up and dissambles the Electronic equipment) had to come from 79th St here to 7200 N, it was very poor logistics planning. She also had to rely on the manual for every step so assembly and take-down of the Touch Screen was painfully slow.  Fortunately we had a pro for the Ballot Scanner and the Election Book so that went well. 

Pat Quinn was rejected because he respresented the POLITICAL MACHINE AS IS in ILL and Voters were tired of it all. (Not here in BRAIN-DEAD Far North side CHi, which is SOLID BLUE) but the rest of the state did not buy it any longer. The Traditional Dem 'Ground Game' was missing here on the Far North side of Chicago with fewer than a quarter of registered voters showing up.  The number was difficult to guage since other polling places were open onlhy two blocks north and south. 

IT WAS LONG DAY Fro 4:00 AM will 9:00 PM BUT 

WE WON!!!
