It is interesting that the Republicans took over the House. The fact that Dean Haidle only won by 4 votes shows that everyone has a voice. I think people don't have a right to complain about the government if they don't vote. If you don't like the way it is run, you should do all you can to fix it, including vote.
ReplyDeleteIt is very interesting how the republicans took over.and looking at the local elections it is interesting how oy 50% of voters showed it is kinda of sad to see that because if a few more people would have voted it could have changed everything. I agree with darcie.
ReplyDeletei was really surprised how the republicans took over so many seats. i think it is a good thing they did though because many people were wanting a change in our government and this is a good step in that direction. and i like darcies sayin if you dont like the government you need to vote
ReplyDeleteI was surprised when i heard that the republicans took over the house. I like what darcie said about how if you dont vote dont complain.
ReplyDeleteit was intersting how the republicans took over. it was nice to see the rod ready and dean haidle won but dean did not win by alot of votes he only won by 4 votes.
ReplyDeletedarcie i agree with you everyone does have a voice when it comes to voting.
jessica i agree with you it was intersting how republicans took over.
i think that it a good deal that the republicans took over the house of representatives. also i think it is a good thing that the democrats have senate and the republicans have the house of reps. to equalize the power in the whitehouse.
ReplyDeleteZane i agree that it was a good thing that the republicans took the house b/c we were needing a change in government.
Jessica i agree with you that elections might have been changed if every body registered to vote voted.
Yes, the repubicans took over as I thought. But we only won by 4 votes. Everyone has a say in this voting progress so I think that if your old enogh to vote DO IT because it makes a big differents as shown in this election on how the republicans won by just 4 votes.
ReplyDeleteI like Darcies because of when she said that " People dont have a right to complain about the government if they dont vote". And i think that is right to say because when we seen on CNN that people were complaining let alone they didnt vote thats just stupid if they dont like it then vote and try to change it!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes Zane i am completly suprized that republicans won even know that it was just by 4 votes they still deserve it!!! And it was a very good thing that they won becuaes they did want to change the government sooooo bad!!!!
ReplyDeleteI didnt think that the republicans would take over. Sydney i think that is right i cant believe we only one by 4 votes, and Zane i also agree with you...
ReplyDeleteAs Mr. Hinman had said that only a little over 50% voted is sad because that could of changed alot of the positions. Its amazing how you have to have so many chairs to be able to take over the senate or congress.
ReplyDeleteDarcie: I think you are correct; alot of people don't vote because they don't like the government so why not vote and change it.
Zane: i think it is good that the Republicans took over so that the PResident and the democrats does not get too out of hand.
it was interrestig how th erepublicans took over.That Dean Haidle only won by 4 votes, that shows us that everyone had a voice
ReplyDeleteit is kinda riveting to see that the republicans has the magority in the house over the demicates. and i thouhgt it was riveting to see the dean haidle won by 4 votes.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised that the Republicans took the House. But in a way it is good that they did because they are expected to make a lot of changes like Zane said. Also Cody i agree on the turn outs.
ReplyDeletei think that it is agood thing that the republicans took over the house. because the democrats have had the house and they have done nothing. so hopefully the republicans will do something in the house. i like what darcie said that if you dont like the way the government is then you should vote.
ReplyDeletei found it odd that the republicas took the house but not the senate. i wonder what obama and the demicrates will try to get passed the his last two years of presidency. i congradulate all winners and better luck next time to the losers!
