And they feel nothing should change.
Over sixty percent of Americans have said in poll after poll, that they think the country is headed in the wrong direction, and the US Congress has one of its lowest approvals ever, and still our politicians want to stay this course?

They just took out Eric Cantor, the House Majority Leader... something that has never happened in the history of the US. Yea, they sure are weak!

Didn't you know, primary run-off elections for multi-term US senator is the norm, and so is winning them with the votes from democrat voters.

Look at post #28. But in the case of Eric Cantor, he lost by far more than a Democrat ballot stuffing could accomplish. What was it 12 points? I could see 2-3-4 points, but not 12. This was clearly a statement by Republicans.

Maybe because they are immune to guilt.

I rarely see anyone try to pull off such a phenomenal leap of logic... congratulations.

Thanks for being another to catch the absurdity of that post.

Meanwhile, the majority leader in the US House was defeated, and other incumbent Republican barely won their races against complete unknowns, but let's ignore that as well.
LOL! W only won 271 ECs in 2000, but he was the POTUS. A win is a win, a loss is a loss. A few weeks from now, no one will even remember McDaniel.

Not too long, and very straight-forward.
Oh no the Tea Party lost in a race where Democrats who will never vote Rep in the General election crossed over!

Teh Sky is Falling!



Why do people hate accountability and anti-cronyism so much?

Why are liberals so horrifically horrified that a crony scum like Cantor got taken out by an independent local conservative?

I thought you guys hated Republicans?

The TP has been losing all through primary season, with very few wins.
