How can incompetence and dishonesty be rewarded in this way ?

Scott Walker (R - WI) winner
Sam Brownback (R - KA) winner
Steven King (R - WI) winner
Mitch McConnell (R - KY) winner
Thom Tillis (R - NC) winner
David Purdue (R - GA) winner
RICK SCOTT (R - FL) winner WTF
Paul LePage (R - ME) winner
Charlie Baker (R - MA) winner

How is this possible when Congress has a 9% approval rating???
Fomenting negativity, blame and hate is still the most effective way
to campaign and communicate to low-info, willfully ignorant voters.

Steven King won a Senate seat by getting approx. 170,000 people to
vote for him. He will be in office for 6 years, and he will fill 1 of the 100
seats in the Senate. What's wrong with this equation?

The only bright spots are that Thom Wolf (D - PA) is now Governor,
and -- most especially -- that Scott Brown (R-Anywhere) has been
relegated to the waste heap of political obscurity. Good fucking riddance,
you phony POS!

Martha Coakley is the lamest candidate ever. If Grossman had won the
MA primary, he probably would be Governor today. Lame!

ARE THESE THE THINGS THAT AMERICA REALLY WISHES FOR:

Unemployment rate between 7-10 % ?
Continued stagnant wages for middle class ?
Outsourcing jobs ?
More home mortgage foreclosures, another financial "bubble" bursting ?
Higher personal debt, tuition debt and bankruptcies ?
Shifting the burden of paying our nations bills to the poor and middle class ?
47 million lacking health insurance ?
Millions refused health care due to pre-existing conditions ?
Bid Laden still alive ?
Qaddafi still alive ?
Another military "surge" in Syria, Iraq, Ukraine, or wherever
John McCain and Lindsey Graham want to invade ?
Guns, Guns, Guns ?
GM bankrupted ?
NYSE at 8000 points ?
Making birth control and abortion totally illegal ?
Voter suppression ?
Citizens United -- elections sold to the highest bidder ?
A Gilded Age revival ?
Birther-ism ?
Racism ?
Fascism ?
The Apocalypse ?

BECAUSE, THIS IS WHAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY REPRESENTS !

PHoney Boo Hoo Baker may be ahead in the count, but it will be a razor thin victory.
