re: #315 HappyWarrior

They triumphed Bush winning by one state in 2004 as a mandate from the people but yet acted like Obama’s victory in 2008 was by the slimest of margins. They’re going to act like this is a mandate and my hope is that like Bush in 2005 and beyond that will be their undoing but I hope that the economy does not go downward because of that. Unfortunately, we replaced a lot of reasonable minded Dems with Republican ideologues in the Senate tonight.

It’s the crazy ideologues that scare me most of all. They’re completely immune to common sense and science, including basic economics, so the bill proposals coming out of Congress is going to be batshit crazy for the near future.
