is NOT a fucking mandate. It is the wishy-washy, dumb-ass U.S. American middle-of-the-road “Independents” following the fickle wind because they are too willfully ignorant to have an ideology or governing principle, multiplied by disappointed liberal democrats staying the fuck home, plus mid-term lack of interest on the part of many voters, multipled again by those driven insane by Fox News and their corporate overlords – i.e. the motivated Tea Party tools. I wish our President and the rest of his party could realize this. The Democrats did NOT tack too far left and I’m sick of hearing otherwise. The Blue Dogs lost. The damage was not as bad as predicted by the so-called liberal media and incumbents are always voted out in mid-terms. Christ, this country is stupid. I just hope it is not beyond repair.
