Must have a large trust fund....
2014 version of “the voters are throwing a Temper Tantrum!”
Just as the GOP is poised for an electoral victory, the media comes out with stories about sour moods, and pleas for the parties to work together!
Don't seem to remember seeing those stories in 2008!
It’s a concept that’s a bit “off”.
Basically, the gov’t exists and grows through plunder of its citizens.
It maintains the facade of legitimacy by conducting elections which the plunderees participate in.
The facade of legitimacy would not exist if people didn’t participate.
The above concept is how most leftists justify gov’t policy - “well, we all voted on it, and you lost”.
I’m not saying “don’t vote”, just starting a discussion about the legitimacy of the gov’t as it exists today.
That “sour mood” also extends to the nation’s general disapproval of the liberal media. It has not done its job of holding politicians accountable. The media is a national disgrace.
Amen. When the treason trials happen I almost believe that Candy Crowley should be first in the docket.
Thanks for that clarification. I’m in a state with a tight senate race, so wild horses couldn’t have kept me from the poll. [God certainly could have, but didn’t.]
But I do see your point. A bit depressing, yet true. However, today is a day I hope to celebrate. The outcome won’t negate your point, but it should negate a few Dems. That’s worth something.
That’s why ABCCBSNBC aren’t covering the mid-terms. Cruz will be able to convert these STOP ZERO democrats and Indies into real conservatives over the next two years.
They must have internals showing an even bigger landslide than predicted, and must keep the sheep ignorant of what’s happening around them.
They’re P.O.’d they still haven’t got their $2,500 Obama check from their savings on Obamacare.
Yep! Love it...
Agree. The corrupt and complicit main stream media is trying to ignor this embarassing defeat for liberalism and pretend it never happened. They’ll drop coverage of the election quicker than you can say the word “shellacking”.
Want to work...Republican.
Don't want to work...Democrat.
Same as it ever was.
But who needs a trust fund when you have Uncle Sugar on your side?
Do you write for Yahoo!?
I remember seeing a picture of a free giveaway plate with "Vote For Cicero" in Latin on it.
I bet there were flyers with "Cicero Et Pompeous Ass" somewhere as well.
Yeah....run up 400,000 in federal student loan debt, and then burn em!
“Sour? How about LIVID?!”
As my wife and I were pulling out of the parking lot at the polling place, she said “You seem angry.”
All I could say was “I am.”.
Thinking back about it, I think a lot of the anger came from my knowing that I’d just been in a room with people that had stabbed me, my family and this country in the back.
Like in Animal Farm, the sheep have been taught against their will what Socialism is. THAT’s what will kill the progressives.
Guess the ap just changed the title of the story.
That works even better ;)
