The American people have spoken and the only thing I can say about that is \u201cThey like to reward bullies\u201d.<\/h4>\n

Over the past two (2) years we have witnessed the worst \u201cdo nothing\u201d congress in the history of our country. For the four years prior to that we saw the \u201cI\u2019d rather see America FAIL than allow Obama any victories\u201d group assail the very basics of our Democracy with their \u201cmy way or the highway\u201d attitude. This entire shenanigan has been orchestrated by the right wing\u00a0republicans and the tea-partiers and their money grubbing backers. The cats in the cradle with a silver spoon\u00a0and the wrich (wealthy-rich) have run away with the moon.<\/h4>\n

\"Bully\"And so, the American people, frustrated by the lack of any compromise, civility, integrity\u00a0or decency by the right-wingers, have seen, in their ultimate wisdom, to reward the bullies with control of two thirds (2\/3) of the US government.<\/h4>\n

I can\u2019 t even find any \u201cblond\u201d logic in that one.<\/h4>\n

The sad part about this is that WE, the DEMOCRATS, have failed the American people. Yet,\u00a0in our frustration we say that\u00a0they deserve what they are about to get? No they don\u2019t and neither do I.<\/h4>\n

We, the Democrats,\u00a0deserve a good spanking for our failure to get the voters to see the reality of the right and then get the voters out to vote in their interests and not the interests of the wrich. The American people deserve better from\u00a0us \u201cgood guys\u201d.<\/h4>\n

Until we, the Democratic leaders,\u00a0learn how to get the Democratic voters out of their apathetic cloud, off their butts and into the action (voting), the bad guys, right wing republicans and tea-partiers\u00a0will continue to win the elections and eventually our wonderful country will fall into an oligarchy run by the wrich and finally an empire run by a right wing dictator. The fact that most of us will NOT enjoy that sort of society is irrelevant because it will come unless we stop it! History doesn\u2019t lie. Right now we, the people, still have the power of \u201cone person, one vote\u201d, but even that is being eroded in several states with their voter suppression laws. It won\u2019t be long before it\u2019s gone altogether.<\/h4>\n

We have two years to act and the clock is ticking. After that, its all over except the whining of the looser which is\u00a0perhaps better described as \u201cThe Silence of the Lambs\u201d.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
