The Republicans have a Mandate. Do Democrats have Ebola?
This isn't a traditional America anymore.
Americans no longer want social security, nor do they want a living wage.
In this Christian nation, the majority of voting age women wish to rescind (lose) all reproductive rights.
The majority of voting age citizens, wish to rescind (lose) the right to vote.
A plurality wishes to elevate billionaires into feudal (fascist) lords, while the rest of us live in squalor, while we toil for basic sustenance.
The demographics are changing, creatures of the right (Walker, Ernst, Brownback, Bcconnell) have won.
Chained CPI- TPP- Keystone- Lower taxes on the rich- The Ryan budget, Tax holiday on offshore profits-- Which will Obama capitulate on first?
Obama will be "forced" to do one of, or all of the above. Will Obamacare be gutted and "reformed" all in the name of a grand bargain? Or will the knife in the back come with the next debt ceiling negotiation?
You are crazy if you think Obama will be a bulwark against the billionaire agenda.
What Brownback has done to Kansas is the template for the rest of America, and we will suffer for it.
We were prepared to lose the senate, and some congress critters. The silver lining was that we would sweep away the evil despicable governors that denied the ACA. That did not happen. A democratic Governor would have been able to raise wages and expand medical care without congress. But every single rat that ran, won. For Pete's sake the governor of Vermont almost lost!
If an outsider were to look in, they would justifiably be able to say that the Republicans have a mandate to push their agenda. It isn't in Obama's interest to obstruct what big business (formally known as American citizens) want done.
The only vote that matters, the only citizens that matter, are the corporate ones.
