Hot Damn! Brown Wins, Coakley Concedes, rumors of Penguins in Hell...

From our Friends at Daily Kos....

What we're witnessing (3+ / 0-)

is the product of a corrupt media and a dumb, distractable electorate. I'm not sure that anything can be done at this point, but one thing I am sure of is that continuing to operate on the premise that the majority of Americans are reasonable, intelligent people who will do the right thing if the facts are presented to them objectively is not going to work. I know that it's not what most people who come to this site want to hear, but most Americans need to be manipulated into doing the right thing. Reasoning with them might be the morally correct thing to do, but is simply not going to get the job done...

Not surprisingly, some of us disagree. It's NEVER a good thing for either party in a two-party system to hold ALL the levers of power, and thank goodness that little travesty of democracy is winding swiftly to an end.

Long live the Republic!

    Sadly, I'm not - either in the lovely posting I found over at DailyKos...or in the sentiment that if either party holds all the levers, the selection of loons in the party in question comes steaming to the fore as there is no effective opposition to restrain them, however briefly.

    From time to time I try and visit DK, abhorrent as many of its' members postings may be...it's a good thing to keep an eye on what the hostiles are thinking.

Yes, this new comment form sucks. No, it's not my fault - blame Google.
