Scott buddy --I warned you about the
no experience/qualifications and the tax and spend redistribution. Next time I warn you
-you need to trust me--I'm Gumby Dammit
P.S. all may not be lost--it looking like it could be instant replay of last time liberals ruled Pres and congress-Clinton's 1st 2 years of taxes and spending an d trying to shove healthcare- led to greatest turnover of party seats in history--
But--Rebs turned things around after getting back majority and their contract with america and the 6 years that followed were pretty good.
--so maybe mid term elections we'll see a repeat
1994 Elections
In the elections of 1994, the
Democrats lost 54 seats in the House of Representatives, and 8 seats in the Senate (followed by two defections after the election), giving the Republicans a majority in both houses of Congress for the first time since 1954. The Republicans also had a net gain of 12 governors' seats in that election.
Analysts have suggested many causes for the drastic change in political sentiment in the country ebtween 1992 and 1994; among the causes suggested were voter disgust at Congressional scandals mainly implicating Democrats, voter distrust of Clinton after the presentation and defeat of the "
Hillarycare" healthcare proposal, the nationalization of the election by
Newt Gingrich's "Contract with America", and more skilled framing of issues by the Republicans in 1994.<SUP id=_ref-3 class=reference>
