Best Example YET

Mike Grimm is called the winner in New York...the guy who is under 22 indictments and threated to throw a reporter off a balcony and/or "bend him over like a 12-year old boy" on video and still beat his Dem opponent by 13% (as of this writing). Are you fucking kidding me!!!! What the fuck is wrong with Dems even in a blue state like NY.

I surrender! Open to any opinions. I'm so pissed I'm likely not even making sense anymore.

Until people wake up and vote in their best I terests, we will see more of the same.

We discussed voting last night at the table. I don't know how I would have explained voting for someone like Grimm to my teenagers.

I can't see the forest for all the red trees in my state, so have no idea of what happened to the Boomers who should have been voting blue by the millions.
