Republicans have an unassailable, super-duper, mega-hyper majority in the legislature and control ALL statewide offices, as well as both senators and the congress rep. There are less than thirty Dems in the entire fucking legislature and they have very little clout and no power. But who does everyone blame for anything wrong or any problems at all? That's right, the Dems. And who eats it up? That's right, both the media lapdogs and the gullible, idiot public, who only look at the party when voting, not the name.

You can kill a baby on live statewide TV in this state and still be elected if you're a repub. If a Dem-EVERYTHING is our fault. Drives me fucking crazy, because there's so much corruption in this state due to one party super-rule.
