re: #98 Simply Sarah

The new GOP majorities in New Hampshire are not getting nearly enough attention (Well, maybe outside of the state). They’re going absolutely wild in what they’re very seriously proposing. And since they have veto-proof majorities, they can do almost anything as long as they whip the party into line. I know repealing same-sex marriage is on the table, much to the confusion of the populace that voted for them on pledges that they’d focus on jobs and the economy. Maybe the voters should have thought about what they’d actually do before voting for them all…

Bullshit, they weren’t confused. Nobody over the age of 30 is confused about the differences between the two parties. The economy was bad and when the economy gets bad, people get mean. They look for scapegoats to blame and it’s usually a group of people less powerful than themselves. The people who gave the TGOP these big majorities across the country just didn’t want their taxes to go up and fuck anyone else who was adversely affected. They still wouldn’t give a shit if the TGOP had been smart enough not to do things that would adversely affect people who voted for them.
