It is horrible what has occured in America .... all because of this administration.

The first MAJOR hint of excruciating pain for this country, was when Nancy Pelosi became Speaker of the House.
There are NO Socialists and especially NO Communists in office.

This post has no factual use.

Americans can't be bothered to spend 30 minutes doing real research on issues or candidates, instead they seem to base their votes on 30 second TV ads.
Well, if you look at the Illinois voters that put these boobs in office, it's typically the dependent class that votes them in. Again, and again, and again. They promise them goodies and the dependents eat it up and vote for them. The rest of us (the donor class) take it up the behind again, and again, and again. The recipients are outvoting and outnumbering the donors. This is one of the main reasons why Illinois is in the terrible financial shape it is.

As opposed to say Texas, that only had to close a 31,000,000,000 dollar deficit...

I might add that blue states generally get less funding per dollar from the federal government than they pay in taxes to the federal government... For some reason, those anti-government red states seem to rely more on the federal government.

I am voting out any incumbent politician from dog catcher on up.
That is a very immature action to take. In ANY Congress there are good and bad people. To lump the good with the bad only shows a lack of knowledge on how each voted.

If 51% are bad and 49% are good the bad will get their bills passed. Why would you want to throw out the good who voted against those bills?

The solution is to elect more good.
