How Else?

http://www.randirhodes.com/main.html - It's Friday!

From a republican spokesperson in Ohio: Conservatives in the House spent the last several years of do nothing obstruction by encouraging corporate scheming, reducing spending for the common good while increasing military spending, preventing the bush/obama tax cuts on the wealthy from expiring, planning to take away the safety nets of Medicare and Social Security, removing the poor from Welfare, narrowing energy exploration to only fossil fuels, increasing the debt, and inserting the government into doctor exams and personal lives. Why doesn't the majority of people like us anymore?

The Tom Corbett of Pennsylvania/Jon Husted of Ohio plan to rig the Electoral College numbers may be revived. They're talking about it right now. How else can the cheaters ever come close to being winners? How else?

Zero Credit

As the US grows in a variety of colors, the (g)OP limits itself to greedy self-deceived white men and women plus a few deluded wannabes of color. It's brilliant strategy of lunacy and glaringly adolescent maleness has worked wonders so far. Keep up the "good" work.

After 36 hours of intense soul-searching, excuse-making and kudos-hoarding, we came to the conclusion that the intelligence of voters knows no bounds when it comes to the struggle for truth, justice and the American sunny day. Voters and Campaign Workers get 99% of the credit. We voted for a Democratic President, a Democratic Senate, AND a Democratic House (dirty courts pre-disapproved). The sandy hurricane gets zero credit.
