Mid Term Elections

Today is the day to vote. Finally. The silence of the television without vitriolic political ads will be blissful.

I understand that roughly 50% of the nation is Democrats, and 50% is roughly GOP. What I have never understood is why 49% of the GOP actually vote for the GOP. They are concerned with the 1% of the nation who are millionaires and billionaires. The policies the GOP advocate are for them. The GOP do things for the advantage of the super rich and to the detriment of the 99%, not to mention the planet.

Voting for the GOP is like having a wooden house and hiring a person to work in your house who is a pyromaniac wearing a lit flame thrower. You know he wants to burn the house down. And you ave him access  to your place. The GOP/TP don't care about the country. They want to burn it down. Why would you vote for them? It makes no sense.

The political ads on TV for the last 3 months are name calling and saying that the other guy is a shitbag lying son of a bitch. But that doesn't tell me anything other than you have no respect for your adversary. My main question is, what do you want to do? Do you have any aspirational ideas? Or is it political name calling? Do you have a plan, any plan, or is it just "I'm better than that fucker."

The democrats need to grow a spine. If you look where the country was in 2008 and where it is now, it's a huge improvement. It might not be a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage perfection of the 1950's, but it beats Europe by a long shot. They did austerity. We did growth. And it wasn't even a huge stimulus program. It was modest because it couldn't get past the GOP otherwise.

The stock market is 2 times what it was in 2008. The jobs lost in the recession came back for the most part. Why are the Dems not trumpeting that? If  the GOP has a successful shit they take a picture of it in the bowl and put it on Fox. Democrats, be proud of not destroying the country. You saved it. You got healthcare passed in the country. The GOP want to tear it out despite that it was modeled on a GOP program. Anything the black muslim communist socialist kenyan usurping president must be destroyed.

The GOP Congress should be ashamed of the obstruction they willfully did which hurt the nation so they could help their party. What a bunch of selfish douchebags. They are the 3 year olds of politics throwing tantrums in Target. And they might get rewarded by taking over the Senate today. The thing is, they will get nothing accomplished. All the obstruction they did will now be returned. They will need 60 votes to get any bill to the floor for even a fucking discussion. Just like what they did for the past 6 years. They will try to get all their pro business anti-environment, anti-people, anti-Earth ideas passed. And the Dems will stop them.

It's stupid to have this kind of gridlock. They hurt the country out of spite. What is bad is they keep getting re-elected. Congress, the House and Senate, have a lower approval rating than Herpes. A STD has a higher approval rating than our elected officials. So we should vote them out and vote in Herpes. But in a way, they are Herpes. They never go away and they flare up from time to time with horrific results.

I think the nation would be well served if the GOP congress and senate were to take a bus trip... off a cliff to their fiery demise.

But with the GOP voters growing older and older, they will die out and become irrelevant.
