1. no. they are not. i don't know, what we're going to do with them
we need a balance playing field. They cater too much with rethugs.. and i can't comprehend or understand when this happened.

How and Why?

3. As far as I can tell, the Repubs still hold super-majorities in the House and Senate

7. In the past 10 days I've seen more of Mitch McConnell than I have of President Obama
If that's not ten days spent in Hell, I'd like to know what is.

12. To me, too.
The net effect would be that no one got to sit on the airwaves for hours per day just spouting off their favorite bullshit.
