Which party lied us into the ruinous quagmire in Iraq, a disaster that is still paying dividends?
Which party crashed our economy in 2008?
Which party has managed to get nothing done on purpose since taking control of the House?
Which party shut down the government costing our economy some $24 billion in damages?
Which party nearly destroyed the country in Oct 2013 when they threatened to deliberately default on our debt in an act of political extortion? There was a big faction in the GOP that was crazy enough to do it, too. My jackass Senator Rand Paul was among those who voted at the 11th hour to press the button and have everything go up in an economic mushroom cloud.
"Give us what we want or Uncle Sam here gets a bullet in the head!"
The Republicans have done more damage to America than Osama Bin Laden could have ever dreamed of.
...and which party did the voters elect to win the State and National mid-terms?
Holy crap, you really do not look at long term data. You look at our habits as voters we tend to flip. That is not an endorsement of your party, it is an attempt to break the gridlock. They were not saying "do what republicans want" they were saying " fucking get something done". Parties flip and you look long term this happens.
It isn't that you won as much as democratic apathy in midterms. We have the numbers and you look long term, progressive attitudes win. What holds us back is the same damned dark side of evolution greed and power.
I only blame democratic voters for their apathy. If we had been as motivated as we had been with Obama's elections in midterms you would have had your asses handed to you.
