How stupid are we, Americans? Time to clean the House and Senate

Interesting.

My dad was raised a Democrat, my mom was raised a Republican. My dad changed over in his early 20s I think. Mom's still a hardcore Republican, my dad was for a long time but is now trending more toward a strange Green/Libertarian hybrid. I was a hardcore Republican for many years, but mostly consider myself a Libertarian at this point.

Voted write-in for Paul/Barr in the last presidential election (yes, you can start laughing... but I absolutely could not stomach Obama or McCain and Barr seemed like a standard Republican pretending to be a Libertarian) and it's looking like I'll be voting for Brown today.

May the wise and freedom-loving people of Massachusetts vote with both their minds and hearts--Ense petit placidam sub libertate quietem!

Git R Done!

wise and freedom loving? Massachusetts?

:roflmao:

This is the state that fines you if you don't prove you had health insurance we are talking about. Luckily we have one of those religious exemption laws, so if you check the box saying you have sincerely held religious beliefs against traditional healthcare you don't get fined. I used this for the part of 2008 that I was unemployed (right after college and before getting hired) - my religion is called "freedom". Glad I have health insurance from my employer now though, it sure has helped with the ER visit I tend to manage to get myself into at least once a year.

4 hours till the polls close... Hopefully, the cleaning of the Senate starts today.

You misquoted me--"May the wise and freedom-loving people..."

Its over, and yet it is just beginning. Lots of LSD Zombies changing their drawers in Washington, D.C. tonight.

People actually showed up to the polls and voted their Will.........Well done, Mass!! Now hold his feet to the fire and make him do the job you've elected him to do.

This is what We the People need to do, hold our elected officials accountable and kick them to the curb when they fail to execute our Will, simple as that.

The whole party system is a joke......can it be fixed? Read above.......

Party voting is for the ignorant and lazy and is very irresponsible, never in history has this been more painfully obvious......We CAN take back our country from the Progressive Socialist movement, again.

I was raised a Democrat by Democrats, I chose to become a Republican when the Liberal Socialists took over the Democratic Party.
You were voting when Woodrow Wilson was elected? :shocked:

Well, we're damned... just not as damned as we would be with Coakley.

I still think Kennedy should have won.
