The "American People"?
All I've been hearing about is how the Repugs are the voice of the "American People", and how they're doing what the "American People" want.

Who the fuck do they think elected Obama and the Dems? The Chinese? The Indians (dot, not feather)?

I'm an American person, and I sure as HELL don't want these assholes representing me!

3. They certainly didn't care what the "American People" thought last time around.
Then again neither did the Democrats but at least they wanted to give us something.

11. No, no, they're real. There's just a big difference in what they know about their world compared to
our average level of awareness.

Authoritarian types do not find curiosity motivating.

6. My sentiment exactly. What about the other half who disagree
with you, Mr McMConell and Mr. Boehner??

9. Yep, I'm sick to death of that meme.
It was a midterm for christ's sake-only half of the people even voted. Most of the elections were close, so knock off another half and that leaves about a fourth of the people who chose the pukes.

Some talking head today said something about the Dems being out of power and I thought "What the fuck? You mean we lost the White House and Senate, too?"

I'm so sick of this shit...

10. remember when Palin said real americans were those in small towns?
Bill Maher had a few things to say about that one too!

No one is any more american than another, we are all real americans. And just because the GOP prefers to value small towns, it's in the big cities where politicians are elected!!
