Pfffft. Dems didn't vote

No wonder I checked out months ago. I must have seen this coming. Nobody bothered to vote in the primaries. Except rethugs, who reliably vote because they do what they are told. So what made me think that Dems would vote now, or that Independents would vote Dem?

Dems didn't vote, they got over half the ballots counted at midnight here. (There are 452,971 registered Dems in SD county and 287,844 is 62% of the counted votes? ) I'm betting that craploads of the 287,844 "Independent" voters went Rethug this time. It does not take much in a county owned lock, stock and barrel by the military-industrial-complex. There are 200,000 40,000 less registered voters than there were in '08. (mybad)

So it looks like the Rethugs took the house. Nifty. Can't wait to watch the circus. Wonder how much more damage they will do? If anybody in this country thinks it's going back to some mythical dream idyll like they remember it was in the 50s they are batshit crazy. The 50's were fucked for a lot of people, but the union workers got paid enough to buy homes and raise families. Everybody in the world owed us something and Latin America suffered for our gains. And this country is NEVER going to be like it was in the 1950's.

Seriously? We gotta deal with this drunken idiot for at least the next 2 years? Jesus, you really don't have to have anything but an ability to be a fucking corporate puppet in order to be elected in the Republican party.

Voters can't see through all the corporate spending? Looks like

State ballot measures did what I expected them to: Nyah, we don't want any real solutions we just don't want to pay taxes. At least the 2/3 vote requirement will change. Fucking rethugs have been holding up State budgets for years.

And now the rich get their way- gridlock.
Angry voters choose government gridlock, investigations and shutdown.
