good news is Republicans are now the incumbent Washington insiders-the only one they can keep pointing their finger at is POTUS Obama who will have completed both terms he was elected to (max. allowed by the GOP 22nd). It’s up to them to get off their lazy do nothing butts and make things work in DC – or run as the do nothing DC insiders in 2016.
Now would be a good time to start talking about finishing Mt. Rushmore with the current art part of POTUS Obama’s forehead? Surely now the Republicans are willing to start doing something in DC? – and maybe get rid of some of the Reaganizing of our nations capital. (when the Chinese Historians show the REAL RECORDS -it’s gonna be an eternal embarrassment).

As we see with the nonsensical blathering of trees, wayout etal, right wingers are wetting themselves proclaiming some sort of momentous change just like they did when Scott Brown won Ted Kennedy’s seat.
They were wrong then, and they are wrong tonight, regardless of how many mindless talking points they parrot.
It ain’t over by a long shot right wingers. You cannot undo in two years, what the President has accomplished to benefit this nation. GM is thriving, saving thousands of jobs in the process. The deficit has been cut in half. bin Laden is dead. Millions of people have access to health insurance for the first time.
So you guys go ahead and keep being good little puppets, repeating your Harry Reid 300 bills bullsh*t. I would wager not a single one of you can name just one of the alleged bills, explain why it should pass and how it would benefit the country. Some talk radio entertainer says there are 300 bills on Harry Reid’s desk and like mindless lemmings you fan out across the net, never once stopping to find out (a) if it is true or (b) what the bills actually do. You have nothing to offer but mindless repetition of what somebody on the radio told you to say.
On to 2016. Enjoy your success while it lasts. Because trust me, it is not going to last long. Ask Scott Brown, former Massachusetts Senator. Next time, you guys will be defending 23 seats during a Presidential election when a lot more people will be voting. A half dozen of those seats are in solid blue Presidential states.
We leftists will not rant about secession or tyranny. We won’t be putting up Facebook pages advocating treason. We will simply work that much harder, contribute a few dollars more, or talk to a few more of our neighbors in the months and years to come. We will work to produce a better result the next time election day rolls round.
You see we leftists are not like you. We are Americans who love this country regardless of whether we win or lose elections. Give it a try sometime….
