Surprise, America! When You Elect A Bunch Of Extremists Who Insist That "Government Doesn't Work"

[AzDar]

Government. Doesn't. Work.

:patriot:


Think they'll actually learn something from this?

1. Sing it to the choir and from the rooftops Brother!

Cause that is how we got from Point A to Point B!

[baldguy]

2. Like hiring the fox the guard the chicken coop.

And we're the chickens.

6. Americans are Getting the Government they Voted For In November

or in the case of dems, the government we DIDN'T vote for since we decided to stay home las November. We have been complaining ever since but rarely have I seen comments that assign any of the blame to this fact. Kicked and rec'd.

[DonCoquixote]

7. or rather did not vote for

when they all stayed home

3. Self-fulfilling Prophecy is a very valid & reliable & extremely powerful trait of Social Psychology,

especially when people are manipulating it with primary reinforcers, a.k.a. brainwashing with propaganda.

4. Yeah who knew they would fuck up a system that has kept us

afloat over the last 200+ years! I'm sure mom and dad America didn't!

Surprise mom and dad...better go stock up on produce while it is still cheap.

[Kablooie]

5. The extremists will learn that they were right and gain confidence from the knowledge.

I know, using knowledge in reference to the teapugs is some kind of malapropism, but what can ya do?

[WinkyDink]

8. Maybe the "normal" Republicans are now getting scared of their Frankenstein's Monster.

[jwirr]

9. This is why so many southern states are convinced that government

is bad. Ever since the 60s they have been electing anti-government leaders who do everything in their power to destroy services, etc. Now that most of those states do have bad government they have pushed the idea national via rush and com. and Falwell and his church and here we are.

Even here in MN where we were doing very well they have managed to turn enough people against the government to elect a Tbagger congress and Pawlenty before that.

Edited to say that I am not blaming the south for this whole mess but just as an example of how it happens. When we elect leaders we had better first find out what they are all about.

10. What kind of person would do anything to let Rapture Ready Republicans be elected to public office?

Think about that?

It is like those voters have a death wish.
