As for the election [View all]

First of all, well, shit...

To be completely honest, it really wasn't unexpected...

Look guys, think back to 2006 when we had a clean sweep....

Things had to get seriously bad for people to wake up, financial, civil rights, you know people had to get shaken out of their comfort zone.

Unfortunately, that's where we are at I'm afraid: Things will have to get a lot worse before the nation wakes up.

Once things get painful enough for the common man to wake up, then we will see real change....

Until then, keep up the fight..

from the wise old sage, Red Green: “Remember I'm pullin' for ya--we're all in this together.”
