When racists are removed from the equation, the approval rating of this most noble of men hovers in the high 80's.

The only thing proven yesterday is that the Ignoratti/Idiocracy had breath enough left for one loud dying scream.

My reply to a post elsewhere:

"...... the only people we have to 'thank' for yesterday's election result are those who bent over and kissed the Golden Calf of Wall Street, aka KochHeads and their sheeple. You can answer your own question about 'why all the anti-GOP talk' easily just by looking in the mirror. Enjoy your last rays of stolen sunshine while you can - the demographic clock is ticking away, and your time on the political stage shrinks by the minute."

I won't start a whole new thread, but I do want to remind everyone WE'RE NOT BEATEN UNLESS WE GIVE UP! Keep the long game forefront in your mind and heart at all times.
