So, is it now okay to start shoving some blame in the faces of McConnell and Boehner for

the fetid Teabagger hell that they have permitted to coalesce in this nation for the sake of votes? Is it okay to call them on it yet? Why do we pussyfoot around this issue? The Republicans have fomented this mess and profited from it. They relied on a racist bigoted base for votes in two elections. Dog whistles? Huh? Nothing so subtle. Blatant bullhorn blaring ugliness. Why are we being polite?

Latest poll shows highest percentage of people happy since 2007. That may be why the Democratic Party is quiet at least until the Republicans take over in January.
