....that's the fucking sound of all three scandals deflating in front of our eyes. As much as the fucking Republicants want to blow them up, the scandals just keep leaking air.
So fuck you, you walking wads of brown splat, you lose again, you'll lose the House in 2014 and your fucking clown car is being serviced for your loss in 2016.
Did I mention go fuck yourselves?
Go fuck yourselves.

(103,856 posts)They use airtime, everywhere they can, to spread their toxic message, knowing that "just enough" will get that message.
The ones who are violently opposed to that message, often just tune out all of politics, and the nutty media system we have, treats fact and fiction with the same weight.

(1,201 posts)Beginning in 1968, we used the "Southern Strategy" and catered to ugly, deep seeded racism and anger over the passage of Civil Rights legislation by calling it an appeal to Americans who wanted "law and order."
Next, we made an unholy alliance with the Christian Right to push their theocratic ideas off as "Family Values". We made it OK to be vocally and violently anti-Gay by falling back on 4 references in the entire Bible and we showed out contempt for women by shooting down the ERA Amendment and trying to turn all women back to a "Stepford Wife version of June Cleaver."
Since the 1980's we've tried to scapegoat hispanic immigrants escaping poverty and brutal dictators (In most cases that we supported and propped up) as the root of all of working people's economic woos. All the while, it was our polices that cut taxes for the rich, cut workers wages, reaped huge profits, and moved American jobs overseas.
In the 21st Century we showed disdain for intellectual ideas and denied science even as the planet began to rapidly melt. We even tried to bring back Jim and "Juan Crow Laws" and went so far as to rig via electronic voting machines
By 2012, the American people finally caught on and we alienated so many different groups that there was no one left to vote for us anymore.
