Are some of you readers asking yourselves HOW this GOP sweep happened, despite the extremely poor performances of House Repubs in recent years? How they can cause the federal govt. to shutdown, use dirty tricks to cause voter suppression, be against immigration in a land of immigrants, against affordable medical care for all our citizens, against a living-wage our for nation’s workers, against help for seniors, veterans, and the poor in this country while we send billions of dollars in aid to other countries, and even be against requiring RX plans to provide low-cost birth control for women in 2014? Why were so many Repubs voted in when we know what they’re for: WAR, corporate welfare, tax breaks for the rich, and pillaging programs like Social Security and Medicare. I almost never agree with Harry Bulkeley, but we agree on this: NOT everyone should vote! When all these ill-informed people tear themselves away from viewing their Fox News channel to get to the polls, or read the propaganda clips online from The Weekly Standard, and base their entire worldview and opinion on these misinformation sources…..this is what happens. When citizens in our country know and care more about how a football game works than they do about how their government is supposed to work…..that’s a problem! **************************************** Now that the Senate and House will both be controlled by Repubs, the President will sign Executive Orders (like every President has done), and Ted Cruz will lead the charge to impeach our President for over-reach and general “lawlessness”, because the Repubs have stupidly forgotten the disastrous effects on their own party from the last time they tried that action. And the 2016 Repub hopefuls they’re announcing now are: Jeb Bush, Rick Perry, Rand Paul, and Chris Christy. OMG!! That’s the best the country has to offer for Repub Presidential hopefuls? Yeah, that’s what I thought!
