This is what you said Mookie:

It illustrates exactly how the past two years have transpired and it proves my point exactly.

Now either admit that you were wrong again or start your usual backpedaling.

Nothing to admit I'm wrong about. The fact that it obviously went over your head isn't worth me wasting anymore time trying to explain it to you Dr Seuss style. This is a ridiculous discussion.

I see you've started your usual snippy and petty comments. We're done here.

Clinton was forced to the center by the congressional change. New congress won't get credit for anything positive by the media, Obama will. Similarly, if things don't improve, the same media will blame the new congress (except maybe the one media outlet that is not left of center—and they'd do the opposite to the dems if the shoes were on the other feet.).

Bottom line is that any success of the new congress will make Obama more electable in 2012.

HE won't moderate, but the governance of the country will moderate, and he'll get credit by the media as the President.

See what I mean? No matter what the results are specifically tonight, the Ds no longer have supermajorities that allow them to dictate policy at will. Nothing controversial will pass at all. So at the least the bleeding stops, and BO gets credit, even if it's just congress. It helped that Clinton was smart enough to claim ownership over stuff congress did...

No I understand it perfectly. If I or another conservative had tried to use a fictional story to "prove" a point we were making you would be all over us about it but when we call you on it you resort to personal insults. Yeah I get your drift man.

Oh I'm being snippy and petty but you making Dr Seuss comparisons is the complete opposite of that right? I guess you are having a bad night politically but just that's no reason to be rude robin.

The made-up story is pretty silly. There must be some real example to point to, no? There are in the other direction, the dems spent years during Bush with policies that essentially consisted of being contrary to W. I'm sure Rs have done the same as well.

Still, a RL example makes a point that someone's goofy facebook post (so the internet tells me when I search that image (which only shows at chan4chan when I did a search) does not.
