Liberal heartache: Socialists take a beating in Venezuela's election...

It's time for Maduro to declare a trumped up emergency.

Via The Telegraph:

Venezuela's opposition trounced the ruling Socialists on Sunday to win the legislature for the first time in 16 years and gain a long-sought platform to challenge President Nicolas Maduro's rule of the OPEC nation.

The opposition Democratic Unity coalition won 99 seats to the Socialists' 46 in the 167-national National Assembly, the election board said, with some districts still to be counted.

Fireworks were set off in celebration in pro-opposition districts of Caracas when the results were announced, while government supporters dismantled planned victory parties.

Dirty Demos Update: Demo aide pleads guilty to sending fake emails that derailed California House GOP candidate...

 Scum like this should receive life in prison. They are damaging our Democracy and the faith of voters in our system. Of course, democrats think all is fair if they win...

But the final weeks of the campaign focused to a large degree on allegations made by a former DeMaio staff member. His campaign never recovered, and DeMaio blamed his defeat on the charges and the Peters campaign’s alleged role in spreading them.
On Friday, the ex-staffer admitted in federal court that he lied when he claimed to have gotten anonymous emails threatening that he would never work again in politics if he revealed things about DeMaio.
Todd Bosnich, 29, pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice by lying to the FBI about the emails. Until Friday, it was not known publicly that the federal government was investigating the emails.
During the campaign, Bosnich had told reporters that he was ”positive” that the emails came from DeMaio or someone close to him.
But in his guilty plea, Bosnich admitted that he sent the emails himself through a dummy account and then took the emails to the Peters campaign who turned them over to the San Diego Police Department.

Conservatives win big in Great Brittan...

Labour was stomped...unexpectedly....

Via FOX News:

British Prime Minister David Cameron and his Tory party scored a decisive victory over the opposing Labour Party, left far-left and far-right parties in the dust and defied pre-election polls  with a resounding election triumph he called "the sweetest victory of all."
Aided by the Scottish National Party's rout of Labour in Scotland, Cameron and the Tories left opponents on the right and left in tatters. The Labour Party lost 24 seats in Parliament according to early returns, and party leader Ed Miliband resigned from his role. Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg resigned after acknowledging a "cruel and punishing defeat," in which his left-of-center part suffered its worst-ever defeat - dropping from 57 seats to just 8. On the right, UK Independence Party Leader Nigel Farage, a thorn in Cameron's side, failed to win a seat and resigned as party leader.

Dems didn't learn anything from the midterm thumping they received at the polls...

Slow learners...

Via The Hill:

Democrats aren’t planning a shakeup despite the thumping they took at the polls on Tuesday.
Leaders in both the House and the Senate — including Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) — are expected to retain their spots atop the party in the next Congress, while the White House, in similar fashion, says it will keep its top staff largely intact.
"The president is somebody who doesn’t make personnel changes just for cosmetic reasons," White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Thursday.
The decision to stick with the status quo sends a clear message that Democrats believe Tuesday's disastrous outcome was caused by factors beyond their control, and that they see themselves as best suited to steer a comeback.But it's also sparked concern among some party operatives and rank-and-file members that the Democrats' rebound strategy lacks fresh voices, novel ideas and a new public image.
Most of the grumbling is happening behind closed doors, but some are going public with calls for soul-searching in the party.
“Washington always wants you to throw out bodies after a bad election, so you'll hear that hew and cry," former White House advisor David Axelrod told MSNBC on Election Day. “People will leave on their own because six years is a long time, but [Obama] also has to say, 'What went wrong; what went right; what do I need to do to make these next two years successful?' “
“I think that would be a wise thing to do," he added. Keep on reading...

The NY Times has a solution for Democrat's losses in mid-term elections...get rid of them.

Water boys...

DURHAM, N.C. — By Tuesday night about 90 million Americans will have cast ballots in an election that’s almost certain to create greater partisan divisions, increase gridlock and render governance of our complex nation even more difficult. Ninety million sounds like a lot, but that means that less than 40 percent of the electorate will bother to vote, even though candidates, advocacy groups and shadowy “super PACs” will have spent more than $1 billion to air more than two million ads to influence the election.
There was a time when midterm elections made sense — at our nation’s founding, the Constitution represented a new form of republican government, and it was important for at least one body of Congress to be closely accountable to the people. But especially at a time when Americans’ confidence in the ability of their government to address pressing concerns is at a record low, two-year House terms no longer make any sense. We should get rid of federal midterm elections entirely.

Payback: Obama NLRB about to stack the deck in union elections...

This is what a half a billion in union campaign money will buy you.

Via The Daily Caller:

The Obama administration is poised to change regulations to allow for union “ambush elections” in which workers have less time to decide whether or not to join a union — and in which workers’ phone numbers and home addresses are provided to unions.
The administration’s National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) proposed rules would allow for union elections — in which workers at a company vote whether or not to unionize — to be held 10 days after a petition is filed. And what, exactly, would be happening to the unions during those 10 days? The new rules require employers to disclose workers’ personal information, including phone numbers, home addresses, and information about when they work their shifts.
Insiders close to the situation believe the new rules will almost certainly go into effect with few or no fundamental changes.
“The members of the Board went through two days of grueling hearings that went into the evening. They asked plenty of probing questions. But I wonder if any minds were changed at all,” Workforce Fairness Institute spokesman Fred Wszolek, who recently testified at an NLRB hearing in opposition to the rule, told The Daily Caller.

Democratic Heartbreak: Economy isn't revving up for midterms...

 I guess Democrats will just have to run on Obamacare...

Via Politico:

So far, it’s been easy to dismiss weak economic news as the result of an awful winter. But those excuses ended with Friday’s March jobs report, the first of spring, which showed a lower-than-expected gain of 192,000 — Wall Street traders were looking for something closer to 300,000 — and an economy not losing speed but not exactly revving up for the run to the November midterm elections.
Democrats were fervently hoping for a bigger number. Because if they don’t get faster growth soon, they could wind up trying to hold off Republicans this fall while fighting the triple threat of an unpopular president, an unpopular health care law and a stagnant economy that has left voters grouchy and pessimistic.

Right set for big gains in France...

Socialism isn't working out. 

Paris (AFP) - France goes to the polls on Sunday in the first round of local elections set to represent a landmark for women in politics and, possibly, the far-right National Front.

The first nationwide vote since Francois Hollande's 2012 election as president takes place with the ruling Socialists battling record unpopularity and the main opposition UMP party grappling with scandals embroiling former president Nicolas Sarkozy.

Against that backdrop, polls have suggested around one in four voters are considering casting their votes for Marine Le Pen's National Front (FN), setting the scene for what could be a breakthrough election for the anti-immigration, anti-EU party led by the daughter of its founder, Jean-Marie Le Pen.

The vote is also set to be a groundbreaking one for women: whatever the final outcome of the two rounds of voting on consecutive Sundays, it is certain that Paris will end up with its first female mayor, while changes to the electoral rules are set to significantly increase the number of women in local governments across France's rural heartlands.

Fat chance...

MSNBC host Chris Matthews had tough words for Sens. Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Rand Paul (R-KY) who pointedly questioned Sec. Hillary Clinton today regarding her role in the September 11, 2012, attack on an American consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Matthews called Johnson a “pissant” due to his harsh line of questioning and said that Johnson is only in the Senate due to a low turnout election in 2010. “He doesn’t represent anybody,” Matthews scoffed. He suggested that he thinks off-year and midterm elections should be abolished, forcing all lawmakers to run on a national ticket. [...]

Interesting: Republicans always win November 6th presidential elections...

Well, since 1845 anyway...

Via Breitbart: 

Starting in 1792, states had a range of dates on which to conduct presidential elections, but in 1845 Congress standardized the date so it would always be the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Since then presidential elections have been held on dates ranging from November 2nd to November 8th with each date coming up about six times in a fairly regular pattern. The date November 6th has always been a good one for Republicans:

• 1860 - Abraham Lincoln over Stephen Douglas
• 1888 - Benjamin Harrison over incumbent Grover Cleveland
• 1900 - William McKinley over William Jennings Bryan
• 1928 - Herbert Hoover over Al Smith
• 1956 - Dwight Eisenhower over Adlai Stevenson
• 1984 - Ronald Reagan over Walter Mondale

The Snake Begins Eating It's Tail

Democrat Rep. Stephen Lynch tell liberals to stay out of primaries. He blames liberals for the disastrous midterm losses.

(The Hill)- Liberal groups need to stay out of Democratic primaries if the party is going to retake the House majority, according to a conservative Massachusetts Democrat.

Rep. Stephen Lynch was one of several Democrats who faced an aggressive primary challenge from the left in 2010. His challenger Mac D’Alessandro, a former top official with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), received almost $300,000 from labor groups for his campaign.

“There was a lot of money spent against Democrats by Democrats,” Lynch told The Ballot Box. “That contributed to the scale of our losses.”

Delusional: Obama Tells Midterms Volunteers, “You Guys Turned ‘Yes We Can’ Into ‘Yes We Did’”

Nancy Pelosi is smart enough to know Democrats took a shellacking November 2nd. Of course, she has no regrets. On the other hand, President Obama is either delusional or disingenuous. He told midterm volunteers "You turned ‘Yes We Can’ into ‘Yes We Did.’” Yes we did what? Democrats lost 64 seats in the House. This is the largest party affiliation swing since 1948. Republicans also gained 6 Senate seats and 6 Governorships. Gains in other state and local races followed these results. The Midterms were a complete disaster for Democrats.

(ABC News)- Members of Organizing for America – the president’s former campaign committee – received a text message today asking them to call 888-206-1431 “to hear a special message from President Obama.”

In the recorded message, the president says, “Thank you for the tireless work, you guys organized the single largest midterm election effort in this history of our party…You turned ‘Yes We Can’ into ‘Yes We Did.’”

Democrats in Panic at Possibility of Christine O'Donnell Win

President Obama has spent time in Delaware and Democrats have focused a lot of attention and money on this race. If Christine O'Donnell has no chance, why is this? The truth is democrats are terrified O'Donnell will win. She has been gaining ground in recent polls and huge numbers of former Democrat voters appear to be pulling the straight Republican Party ticket this year.

Hill Buzz reported:

Yesterday, a poll went around showing Christine O’Donnell just five points behind Commie Coons in Delaware’s Senate race. This SORT OF explains the weird amount of time the White House has been spending in a slam dunk blue state.

But, Democrats are ferociously attacking CoD as hard as they attacked Scott Brown in Massachusetts. If she is so far behind, what is the point in beating up on this woman?

This is anecdotal, but I think I know why they are doing this…just like with Hottie McAwesome there are internals showing O’Donnell ahead.

Flashback: Obama Reportedly Told Democrats, "Well, the big difference here and in ’94 was you’ve got me."

Rep. Marion Berry tried to warn Democrats of the bloodbath coming this November. They ignored him and listened to President Barack Obama instead. According to Berry,

“I’ve been doing that with this White House, and they just don’t seem to give it any credibility at all,” Berry said. “They just kept telling us how good it was going to be. The president himself, when that was brought up in one group, said, ‘Well, the big difference here and in ’94 was you’ve got me.’ We’re going to see how much difference that makes now.” [snip]

The phrase "We’re going to see how much difference that makes now” sounds prophetic, doesn't it? Not only is President Obama not helping Democrats, most of them don't want him to visit their district for fear it will actually hurt their chances. Democrats are running away from President Obama and their own legislative record. In one sense, President obama is correct. The difference between now and '94 is him and his left-wing agenda. It's just going to make the opposite of the difference he was promising.

Delirious VP Joe Biden: "We’ve turned things around”

VP Joe Biden is trying to put some lipstick on Democrats re-election woes. He is claiming they have "turned things around."

Democrats are beginning to rebound in their effort to hold onto the House and Senate in this fall’s elections, Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday evening.

Biden asserted that the party has been able to reverse its slide toward the kind of wave election that would hand Republicans control of the House and, possibly, the Senate.

“The truth is we’ve turned things around,” he said, according to a pool report at an Albuquerque, N.M., fundraiser for the Democratic candidate for governor. “Not enough, but we’ve turned it around.”
