People are fatally stupid.
Sometimes, I hate caring about things.

(3,425 posts)When someone as incompetent and craven and evil as GW Bush could win an election, I realized there were way too many fatally stupid people, not counting the ones who are just short sighted and greedy.
I am feeling a tinge of the pain of 2004 (which kept me emotionally detached during the 2008 election cycle) again tonight. This was such an important election.
It's not just losing, it's realizing how many of the people you work and live with actually choose to vote for the bad guy. Why??

And why haven't Dem leaders made sure we have verifiable voting after what happened in 2000 and 2004??

(1,362 posts)Not 1 single post, blog, news story, op-ed -- nothing stating the democratic mayor's platform or what the democratic party in Wisconsin stands for. I've guessed that the (D)s are pro-union but only because Walker isn't and I can only guess about everything else as well.
Issues matter, they need to be the focus instead of the myriad of side issues constantly harped about like:
"Obama didn't step up"
"Money in politics"
"Referendum for the entire nation"
Well now that the democratic party has control of the Wisconsin house just what are they going to do for the state of Wisconsin other than try to keep it from being a "right to work" state? Seriously, I'd like to know and hear an explanation without any mention of any repukes and all their repuke bullsht.
