Nov 2014

We got 9/11

We got Afghanistan war and Iraq war

We got worldwide recession and millions of jobs lost, millions of people lost their homes

Welcome back, Obama can only do so much, with all those crazy Republicans in Congress now...

If we have another recession, another housing and jobs crisis, another few million people kicked of food stamps and schools failing to educate or even feed their students, we know who to blame.

We should have had a much bigger G O T V effort in 2014, we should have tried to top the 2008 vote total, but so many people just didn't pay any attention to idiots like now Senator-elect Earnst from Iowa. I didn't believe Iowans could be THAT dumb, but I guess the moderates and progressives there were just too lazy to go to vote.
