I wonder how the people feel about the midterm elections now? They voted a bunch of loonies, and we

[still_one]

are getting the exact government they voted for

1. You assume this is not what they want...

I believe this is what they want. The think government doesn't impact them except for the taxes they pay.

3. Our wingnut TV station did a story today

on how one of the airport runways is unusable because it needs repaving and the refusal of the Republicans to fund the FAA has temporarily canceled the repairs. They also pointed out local contractors doing the work have been forced to lay off the workers because of it.

I don't expect national media to report stuff like this, but local media might from time to time, getting pigheaded idiots to see there is definitely a connection between the money that goes out of their paychecks and actual projects being done.

These are baby steps, I know, but if you add enough of those together, you end up with completing a marathon.

4. Not until you take the concrete chunks

from off of the closed runway and drop them, one by one, onto their hard heads. By about the 50th one, the brightest among them will wonder why he is getting a headache.

2. Most Americans probably don't even know there were midterms

last year. They think the president is king and that as long as they vote in the presidential election, he is responsible for everything that happens after that.

5. They don't make the connection between electing these insane bastards...

...and what happens in the real world around them. Remember, these are the same people who think 'Obama' is telling their doctors what medicines to prescribe them, and think that 'Obama' is currently the CEO of General Motors.

I'm not kidding.

6. They think that the Affordable Health Care Act added to the deficit
