Ya'll now control 2/3 of the government.

Actually 3/4 when you count the Supreme Court.

So we expect you to fix all the country's problems between now and next election, or you will be considered a failure.

I say we give them as much time as they gave Obama. Which is to say they have already ruined the country, forced American families to disintegrate and begun shoving people into cattle cars........

Turnabout is still fair play? Then the Dems in the Senate, and Obama, will be totally to blame. If only they're see the light and stop interfering with the people's will.

You really do have a right wing Nirvana scenario going for you.

Plenty of power to fuck things up, and a black guy to blame it on.

"....the people's will." And, what exactly is that? We're not a singleminded school of fish, you know.

30% of the electorate turn out and slightly more than half vote your way and you see a "mandate" of the people's will in that? A sixth of the electorate represents the "will of the people"?

That's the mistake both GWB and BHO have made, as well as their associated parties. They think they have a "mandate" from the people and end up making asses of themselves.

I see that most people could really give a fuck either way, anymore. That's what I see, Pete.

Have a nice day.

Dave

Inspiration for my signature.

As to unemployment rate creeping down, of course it will due to upcoming spike in retail and entertainment from the holidays. Except these people will not be planning a vacation come January.

And, I'm sure that many already think that this is due to the magical efforts of McConnell & Co. just within the last 48 hours. By this time next week, we'll be hearing all about the wondrous leap forward the economy has already taken since the Holy Republican Empire saved America......

Just knowing how awesome we are, people will feel relieved and get back to normal immediately.

We're freaking amazing.
