This was all the bigger plan by the koch bros. Implemented by karl rove, but first they had to fire a bunch of states attorneys and judges. Fox News has helped create this unintelligent facade, all the while, they were working behind the scenes to take control of the house thru gerrymandering.

I think we can be sure if a wing nut is on fox screaming about some crazy, unintelligent, anti-anything that makes sense, there is some kind of underhanded, illegal deal being made to screw the middle class to enrich the wealthy more! The politicians may be stupid, but the people running it are extremely cunning and greedy!

Willing to do anything it takes to keep control of the rules that only apply to the little people.
