Last night was election night in the United States of
the Koch Brothers, and if it was a football game being played on the dem's home field the fans would have been leaving the stadium by halftime. It was a beat down.
Republicans all over the country kicking up their boots and feeling like they are on top of the world. They now control Congress by even larger numbers and the Senate for the first time in eight years.
Mitch McConnell has declared that he will work with the president with certain limitations of course) and the president was just on television acknowledging the obvious and promising to be a good Negro and work
with the GOP to get things done. (Watch it Mr. President, those people are
not your friends.) I have a feeling that as soon as they all get back to Washington it will be business as usual with them to show their base who can beat up on you more.
And speaking of the aforementioned Mr. McConnell, dude was actually in a heated race before his opponent--- another
wishy washy democrat--- decided that she would run as far away
from the president as possible in order to bolster her red state cred. Well how did that work out for you Ms. Grimes?
Here in Pistolvania we sent the republican governor packing. Although he (Corbett) would have lost to my mailman last night if he had decided to run. The guy was that unpopular. (When you have to Photoshop
a black person for one of your campaign website you are beyond pathetic.) That was one of the very few bright spots for democrats. To stay with my football analogy; it was just one of a few field goals when they needed a lot of touchdowns.
I would also like to take this time to congratulate
Mia Love and
Tim Scott. They are two Negroes who ran as republicans and won historic races last night.
See field, the GOP folks aren't racist.
Some of the biggest racists in America had Negroes caring for their children. But I digress.
Anyway, Mia has bought in.
“This has nothing do with race. Understand that Utahans have made a statement that they’re not interested in dividing Americans based on race or gender, that they want to make sure that they are electing people who are honest and who have integrity,” Love said. “That’s really what made history here. It’s that Race, gender, had nothing to do with it, principles had everything to do with it.”
.......explained that “there are very few black residents” in Saratoga Springs and reiterated that she “wasn’t elected because of the color of my skin, I wasn’t elected because of my gender.”
“I was elected because of the solutions that I put at the table because I promised I would run a positive issues-oriented campaign and that’s what resonated,” she added". [Source]
See you in Washington, Mia.
Last night was a good night if you love the
good collie weed. Oregon, Alaska, and Washington, D.C. decided to take Peter Tosh's advice. The rest of the country can't be too far behind.
It was also a good night if you believe in workers receiving
a fair wage for the work that they do. Four conservative states decided that the federal minimum wage is too low and they voted to raise their state's minimum wage higher than the one set by the federal government.
Still, these little victories mean nothing to hard core democrats out there. We are going with the football analogy again. This is like making money at the concession stand but losing the game.
"As president, I have a unique responsibility to try and make this town work," Obama, a Democrat, said at a White House news conference. "So, to everyone who voted, I want you to know that I hear you".
The town you speak of Mr. President isn't exactly a microcosm of our country. Take a look around you, all you will see in that town are robots who were bought and paid for by well- heeled groups to write legislation the way
they want to.
In the United States of Koch Brothers they wouldn't have it any other way.
