Exactly. And it should be front page news but the local newspapers are complicit.

The sheeple don’t care. Most people are zombies when it comes to their government. They can’t even name the VP.

They had Greg Orman up 1 here in Kansas just before the election and he lost by 10 percentage points.

When I read a poll recently by CNN, it showed 70% of Americans were angry at the direction this country was going. I seriously doubted these polls figured any of that in.

I knew something was fishy when FOX News called McConnell the winner soon after the polls closed in KY. Based on the now faulty polling going I thought it would take a bit longer.

The polls underestimated the breadth of Republican strength. Most of the GOP candidates won by double-digit margins.

It wasn’t close.
