I see a lot of what I would call "chest thumping" threads.

Where a lefty or righty claims the country is tired of x or y, and point to THEIR party being right.
The Republicans mistakenly assume that they are in control of the House, because a majority favors Republicans now.
Wrong.
The reason you won the House was simply a cleaning of the House (no pun intended) and you happened to be the benefactors.

The country is tired of BOTH of you.

I wouldn't be surprised to see another wholesale shift in both Senate and House.

Incumbents BEWARE!!

Unfortunately, it won't change

There are far too many idiots in the country who are glued to their reality tv shows, their I phones, their face crook pages etc. to know or care what is happening.

They will just vote for whoever is being hyped by the garbage mainstream media (fox, cnn, cbs, msnbc etc.) and continue to speak mostly with acronyms

Yep and if you read these boards it's the same thing.

These people won't even research anything.
and if we point it out they scream about it and say it is a personal attack taking it offensively then just use personal attacks when it was actually pointing at the issue.

all they can say is MY GUY CAN WIN.

So whats the point yes your guy can win because the regular corruption is backing them. And?
Yes? we really need more of those types of people right?

Their reasons for support are so shallow it's sickening.

I see people getting educated about Progressivism and what it really is, then doing something about it, by voting to a more Conservative(the silent majority) view and values.

You're pretty much doing exactly what he's complaining about. My apologies if you post was a straight up joke.
