You know the feeling you get after being hit upside the head with a baseball bat?

Yeah, thats the Democrats today.

I gotta say, I'm in great deathly pain. Our state has just elected a man who might get federally indicted a month after the inauguration.

Ok, here's my assessment. Its the economy, stupid. And with 9.6% unemployment, people are not happy. In spite of all of the things the President and the Congress has done, each of them good, it does not stop the pain of the economic hurt in the nation. This, coupled with a majority of the 62 Million Americans who did not vote for President Obama in 2008, led the charge for the Republican Party to take the U.S. House and damn near the U.S. Senate and elected the first Orange American to be the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. It was also a media problem. Its hell to solve it and with the media ad buys, its a wonder they even know the President. The biggest fault that President Obama and the White House did was to stop doing press conferences and primetime news interviews. When he did those, everybody was attentive and saw his viewpoint. He needs to start doing those again, especially with Republicans in charge in the House. Two, and this is a problem with the Democrats, FOLLOW THE FRIGGIN LEADER!!!!! 39 House Blue Dogs voted against healthcare reform. 12 of them are left. Trying to become Republicans didn't help them much. Of course, neither did it help many candidates with (D) behind their name. If you run from positions the President advocates, it doesn't make the position very popular and voters will not reward you for standing up.



(Have Mercy.)

As you can understand, Republicans across the nation are gleeful and they should be. They won the friggin U.S. House with a margin larger than there was in World War Two.
They have been having these every hour on the hour for the past 24 hours. And theirs were real.


But make no mistake. Republicans are still lowly regarded than Democrats on favor ability and according to polls, people expect to be disappointed by your actions. So, though you won, your party still has something to prove. Just as well, we have to wonder about the Republican leadership and the tea party candidates that won. The ones that most of you didn't back.

You can also understand the Democrats.............




Democrats, liberal and conservative, setting up a primary challenge against Barack Obama in 2012 is a bad idea. It didn't work in 1968, nor 2000, nor 1980, so no, it will not make him more liberal/centrist. It will make him lose.  And who you are planning to challenge him with. For the conservative Dems, Evan Bayh!!?? Fuck no. There is a reason he isn't vice president and the shit he pulled in Indiana shows it. For the liberals, Alan Grayson, Russ Feingold, and Howard Dean have all one thing in common. THEY LOST!!!!!!!!!!! Running him against losers in a year where we might be seeing something totally different is not only stupid, but further leads to Democrats as a whole not taking you seriously. Hell, if the GOP is engineering polls saying its likely a primary challenge will happen, it should give you pause. Take a breath. Lay down. Get your spouse, partner, boy/girl/hookup and get some angry sex going with them. Hell, most of you had victory sex after the President won, have some angry ones now.

Its surprising how after the election, it proves both liberals and conservatives were correct at least to liberals and conservatives.
All in all, we will get through it. Its American politics. It'll be hard as all frig and frack hell, but that we will get through it.


UPDATE: IT BEGINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Its gonna be fun. Stay tuned.
