Voters Send Message To Washington: We’re Idiots

The party’s over, America. And, unfortunately, it isn’t the Tea Party. Prepare to follow in the footsteps of the Romans, the Greeks, the Brits, the Grand Fenwicks. The empire has fallen into the grip of a powerful cadre of overseers who suffer delusions and celebrate ignorance.

This morning we will be plagued by ceaseless and insufferable speeches about what message the American people are sending. But the all too obvious summation boils down to a populace that has resolutely turned toward Washington and shouted: We’re idiots!

That’s right. We are a nation that can be easily manipulated by disingenuous flattery, horror stories of marauding, alien, socialists, and offers of extravagant and unpaid for gifts of tax cuts and magically disappearing deficits. We are a gullible lot and are anxious for anyone with a sword and a smile to rescue us from the certain doom that was manufactured by our reputed saviors. We are desperately grasping for the rays of light that emanate from our electronic herald of Armageddon, Fox News, as we pray for salvation and mercy. {Note: Two Fox News contributors were elected. John Kasich, governor of Ohio, and Pam Biondi, Attorney General of Florida}

It’s hard to put a positive spin on last night’s disappointing election results if you aren’t fully steeped in Tea Baggery. Turning the House over to an angry Republican mob is about as disturbing a development as can be imagined. The specter of a sobbing John Boehner pretending to grab the reins of power is ironic imagery, to say the least. And the inevitable gloating of repugnant characters like Sarah Palin, Karl Rove, Jim DeMint, and Glenn Beck is chilling indeed. But there are reasons to maintain hope.

is dancing with so called stars and american idol. I know this is going to get brought up, but there are alot of great TV shows that make you think or have great story lines. CSI, a great many sci fi shows, even Family Guy and South Park (both make great points and are created by very smart people.)

and our side do not do enough to reassure them consistently and continuously.
so the right wing used it's cash to feed the fear.

Steve King's district. Idiots voting not to retain 3 state supreme court justices for the offense of saying Iowa's constitution will not allow discrimination against same sex marriage kept going down the ballot and voted not to retain 7 of 10 in the lower courts. If the rest of the state had been that stupid we would have lost nearly 80% of out courts. Idiots

How can they be so fickle?

when they have corporate media spewing their lies, and the supreme court guaranteeing that they will always have a big money advantage, get ready for these election results.

They control the message and they have the money. How do you fight against that??
