On the brightside.....

While all the republican voters are celebrating their big win....I'm wondering what they think their party leaders are going to do to improve their middle class lives?

Seriously, I can't recall anything the GOP has come up with lately that would benefit regular, non-billionaire people.

I almost wish that the first thing on their agenda would be doing away with social security?

The republicans will not do anything for the middle class, except tell them lies to make them feel better.

The pubs will try to impeach Obama. Like they did Clinton. And they got away with doing so and wasting all that time and money. Maybe we can stop them this time?

is their way of wasting time while they set out their term between vacations. Nothing better for them to do apparently. They are not in congress to help anyone and they will not.

Impeachment did NOT succeed and it ultimately turned the page as far as overreach.

I'm hoping it happens again.

...was in office. The economy was great. Practically everyone I knew was investing in the stock market.

People are struggling now and impeaching Obama isn't going to change that.

P.S. I don't think there is the slightest chance that Obama would be impeached.

They're here to close the factories, fight illegal wars, give everything to Halliburton and the banks, and run away. They are a class of thieves, pure and simple.

Nope.

They voted for RWNJs for only TWO reasons:

They are so stupid that they want to stop Obama without knowing why. Do they want to stop him from raising minimum age, making it easier to go to college, etc. He's done nothing but try to make life better for them and they want to stop him. Why?
