A devastating new Politico poll reveals voters believe America has spun off its axis and is "out of control."

"An overwhelming majority of voters in the most competitive 2014 elections say it feels as if events in the United States are 'out of control' and expressed mounting alarm about terrorism, anxiety about Ebola and harsh skepticism of both political parties only three weeks before the Nov. 4 midterms," reports Politico.

The poll, which surveyed states and districts in the most competitive congressional races, found that 64% of Americans believe "things in the U.S. feel like they are out of control right now."

Specifically, the poll found that 84% of voters believe the Islamic State (ISIS) represents a "serious" threat to America. Just 12% said ISIS terrorists do not pose a serious threat.

On the issue of Obamacare, the poll found that 57% of Americans believe their health care costs will increase, and just 7% believe that Obamacare will do as President Barack Obama claimed and reduce personal costs.

I personally don’t have a problem with a massive incompetent, corrupt and unaccountable central government that spends piles of my money finding ways to control more and more of my life.

You voted for fundamental change, why aren’t you happy?

Unfortunately the other 36% vote, probably more than once.

Out of control? A government run by corrupt socialist elites who ignore the Constitution and the rule of law, wide-open borders and open welfare coffers to any cretin that walks in, and a culture of abject moral depravity drenched in depraved faggotry. America has become a vomitous sewer of a nation.

If this country were a dog, I’d see the need to put it down.

They think it’s out of control, but will keep voting for it anyway. :)

So shut your little bigoted faces and go pay your taxes. Your government is broke. :)
