nuttins gonna change
 
So the republicans won a bunch of races yesterday. They don't have a super majority in the senate, and President Obama still has veto power.

In this case , though, it's "meet the new boss, he WAS the old boss". The republicans are responsible for all the dissatisfaction with government - that was their plan and they executed it successfully.

There will be two small changes.

This gives the Republicans a megaphone, so you'll be hearing their ideas more.

And the real change is that presidential appointments, which were moving very slowly through Congress, will now halt.

The optimist in me will point out that if Congress actually tries to get real work done, this government could be very productive. Reagan was in a similar situation with a Democratic Congress back in the day, and he and Tip O'Neill were able to make various compromises and pass a lot of legislation. That's a big "if," but it's possible.

What I believe WILL change big oil will be able to shove a drill anywhere they want.
The environment will be in the back seat while big business rapes the land and the wildlife.
The only advancement in solar power will be when Boehner upgrades his tanning booth.
Wind power will be a biproduct of the sharting the house & senate will do over any bill regarding gay marriage, minority equality or women's reproductive rights.

Bullshit. They own exactly 1/2 of it. The other assholes in the demonic party earned the other 1/2.

Not true. Both parties have always had members being assholes... forever. But what came to light in the press just made people grumble at the bar, and forget about it.

The Democrats have plenty of bad guys doing bad shit, but at least try to give some semblance of taking care of business.

But it's the Republicans who have waged an all out campaign of making the government as dysfunctional as possible. The "Great Recession" kicking the average person in the crotch, and hears "I Hope Obama Fails” Yeah, fuck you Mr and Ms America, politics to absorb the Tea Baggers and cater to our far-right/religious/white-guy base, is more important. :facepalm:
