They did this to themselves.

They are so about fucking up the black guy that they have themselves twisted into knots. They fight what they favor, oppose what the masses want, all the while embracing the kookiest extremists imaginable.

They see as a leader a woman who is a grifter, con artist, and self-interested self promoter who is even more intellectually bereft than was the bush family's eldest idiot.

They have offered no new ideas. Not a one.

They have as their party leader a man chosen for skin color but lacking in the common sense to do the job at hand rather than the job he thinks he should do; a man who demands to be paid for speaking when he is already paid to speak.

Their party's luminaries are bat shit crazy - Michelle Bachman, Marsha Blackburn, Virginia Foxxx, Patrick McHenry, Mike Pence, and on and on.

They have applied litmus test after litmus test until all they're left with is the remains of dehydrated backwash. They are now at the mercy of their only remaining primary voting base, the teabaggers. Imagine what that will beget in the way of candidates.




As shortchanged as I am feeling from the Democrats, I am actually growing increasingly of a mind that the Democrats, in the next cycle, will maintain their numbers or perhaps increase them.

I also think that had we gone for single payer or Medicare buy-in, we would be doing even better.

As crappy as I think this offshore drilling shit is, I think it will matter little, and may well help Democratic numbers in the Fall.




Yeah ...... as the grass gets greener each day, so do the political traffic lights .......
