Simple observation? Just make a Venn diagram of things the Confederacy believes, and things the Tea Party believes, and observe that you've made a circle.

That is a little all encompassing and over the top, don't you think?

Your being in disagreement with the voters doesn't magically give you insight into what they were thinking when they pulled the lever, nor does it make you right, which you're not.
And the reverse is true, as well. Your disagreement with another poster doesn't make you automatically right, and your experience isn't necessarily shared by all the voters who showed up at the polls.

Since when does it matter who holds the majority or sits the oval?

There seems to be more differences within the Republican Party than there does between Democrats and Republicans. The party did however do a solid job with sending candidates to charm school and weeding out the serious whack jobs. Most ran on platforms of anti Obama instead of anything substantial. The late in the game fear mongering about Ebola certainly helped.

Gotta love politians criticizing the appointment of a non medical Ebola Czar and then ignoring science. Half of us should have already perished from Ebola, according to some media and politians in need of face time before the election.

Now it's crickets. Politics as usual.
"Since when does it matter who holds the majority or sits the oval?"

If you actually believe that then please, PLEASE do NOT vote.

"Most ran on platforms of anti Obama instead of anything substantial." Because the dems could NOT run on anything Obama did that WAS substantial.They SUPPORTED HIM AND HIS POLICIES. MOST VOTERS DO NOT LIKE HIS POLICIES AND WILL NOT SUPPORT THOSE THAT DO.

Wait...what?

When it was rolled out, three quarters of drinkers polled reported they would buy it again. After the initial boom in sales, New Coke wound up performing about the same as the original formula had been selling the year before. In fact, New Coke routinely won most public taste tests, even up into the late 90s. It was determined that the backlash to New Coke was really just the result of people angry over the absence of the old formula, rather than a distaste for the new one.[LEFT]

No--truly the most ridiculous is that Rick Scott is a viable candidate for president. That is hysterical. He barely won as governor -- less than 1%. He is pretty much detested. In 4 years I did not hear anyone say one positive thing about him--nada. He's a bald python masquerading as a human. He's pretty much looked at as someone who should have gone to prison for ripping off medicare and the taxpayers. Just reflects that the GOP is truly out of people and ideas.
