They would like to have you believe it makes a difference. IMO, it makes none. 2014 will not make a difference, either ... nor 2016. All of this bickering and stance-taking on both sides is merely showboating to get the sheep (us) to think they (DC) are doing something, and to divide us further in ideology so that we all feel our neighbors are our enemies, while both sides continue to feed the beast, and starve the populace. No matter what happened in November, nor what will happen in 14|16 will make any difference. We will still have:
Wall street doing fine
Big businesses moving their operations overseas in the global environment
Middle class in USA becoming poor
Poor in USA becoming more destitute
Violence in the USA becoming worse (because they convince us to hate our neighbors)
Guantanamo still open
Cheney still free and fishing (maybe with ANOTHER new heart)
Congressmen and Senators still earning a salary and passing laws that pertain to us and not them
Wars going on in several countries
Military presence in more countries than that, protecting those who've moved their operations overseas (or just doing nothing)
More NSA/ICE, and intrusions on civil rights and privacy
Nothing of substance getting passed in DC, just the same BS
More candidates (who are friends of friends or family of family) being presented (but never anyone who might upset their chess board)
Ahhh, I could go one, but you get the idea.
No ... I have basically become bored by this whole charade. I find it amusing to watch boards like this, and see how the politicians (ALL sides) have us vehemently disagreeing with each other, while they sit there, laughing behind our backs, and making plans about how to divide us ever further, demonizing each other, while they collect paychecks and pensions (and their OWN healthcare).
Anyway, don't let ME spoil the party ... carry on!
OMG. I agree with everything you just said. They are ALL sitting back laughing while we fight amongst ourselves and they pat each other on the back OR watch each other's back at the very least.
Makes me wonder why I keep coming here to listen to all this extreme partisian claptrap.
Though - at times it is still enjoyable - it serves to further divide us and nothing more.
He's just jealous that he cannot pull together a crowd of 10,000 at the drop of a hat, to hear him speak.
Rove is also jealous that his record for candidates he backed this last election cycle was only something like 3%, while Palin's people that she supported won about 90% of their elections.
Rove needs to go back to Texas with all the Bushs, he and his ilk are like a cancer.
Oh, right, she's the former half-term Governor, failed reality TV star, and avid Facebooker ...
The one who was invited to CPAC to tell jokes about her boobs, while the most popular Republican Governor in the United States (you know, a Governor who is actually serving out his entire term) was pointedly not invited...

She's not a failed reality TV star. What makes you think that? Her series completed its run. They offered her to do another season and she declined.
Not really. It's a cheap shot, not a good shot. She left office for the good of the state.
Oh brother, you need to get help for your Koolaid addiction. Sarah quit for the good of Sarah. The good of the state never entered her mercenary prom hair covered little mind.
How is avoiding ethics charges the "good of the state"?
It isn't.
