I just read on Twitter, Republicans have won governor races in Illinois and Maryland.

This is an oxymoron. What could the GOP have possibly done constructively, or even destructively, except reject what they don’t like?

They ran good candidates who ran good campaigns.And thankfully they put a stake through the heart of the “war on women” nonsense.

I know what an oxymoron is, and the GOP is the party of no and obstruction, not the party of change, either constructive or destructive. That’s what conservative Republicans specialize in, and that’s what I was referring to.

Evidently the voters disagree with you.

I voted for a Republican congress to obstruct the Obama agenda. Mission accomplished!
 
Repubs picked up additional House seats as well.

Tonight’s election must really sting for Braley. Not only did he lose to Ernst, but his old seat is going red as well. Ouch.

For the first time in a long time, Iowa will have more Repubs in Congress than Dems.
 
It sounds like the Republicans are getting near to a 53-47 majority, close to along these lines which would be very good.

You say you know what an oxymoron is then use it as a partisan slander tool.

No, the word oxymoron has nothing to do with being Republican or Democrat.

After the Louisiana run off it will likely be a 54 vote majority.

And why can’t I use it in that way? It is my political opinion; you are entitled to disagree.
 
Now that the great, grand, Catholic-endorsed Republican party has taken control of the Senate, when can we expect all those wonderful changes to this country, like an end to abortion? :hmmm:

Just as soon as there are enough support for a Constitutional Amendment, which is the only way realistically that will happen at the federal level.

That is called ‘voting for the opposition party’, not ‘an oxymoron’.

The original comment was “The GOP has done it,” and I pointed out that the words “GOP” and “done (something)” constitute an oxymoron since that party does not do or create, but instead reacts to things they don’t like.

Disagree if you wish, but let’s move on.

It all starts with ourselves, I always vote Pro-Life. I’m sure you do too. Governor Cristie has helped defund Planned Parenthood and clinics have shut down in New Jersey. Planned Parenthood despises the likes of Governor Cristie. Even if one baby can be saved, I think it’s worth it. You see the Clinics and/or Abortion Mills closed in New Jersey, Wisconsin, Texas, etc., I’d say it adds up to being very significant for Pro-Lifers and for this Nation.

I pretty sure you’re confusing the GOP with Harry Reid. Even the House Dems weren’t too thrilled with him because he refused to act on anything passed in the House.

I suspect that won’t be a problem anymore. 😃

Because it is meaningless. You could just as well say that the Republicans are subdurate and effervescent; so what?

Your use of the word suggests that you dont understand the word you are trying to use, that’s all.
