That’s what I’d like to. McConnell just wants the status quo. Well, we’ve had that and it isn’t working! We need passion! Ted has that! :)

I see McConnell going back to the old rules so the dims will think he’s fair. Screw that!!! Just leave the dim rules and give them a dose of their own. I’m not into “fair” anymore. obozo will do whatever he wants anyway. That’s why we need Ted.

A few congressional seats but the state is stuck on stoopid,
Same governor, same stupid lame democrats over and over.
What is the definition of insanity?
Doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results.

These people just don’t get it and we are way outnumbered by NY city, they control the state.

The local idiots voted for marijuana and upping the minimum wage. Not a clue of the consequences. *sigh*

HUGE amounts of money from outside for the druggies.

How much longer do you think it’ll take before we know the Senate results from there? Are there any predictions?
