I am a little disappointed at the total election returns. I am grateful that the House is Blue and somany of the Governorships were flipped. I think this goes along the lines of the prediction that the states will start to take more of a leadership role. Unfortunetly I live in Kentucky which is better known as McConnell's sewer. We have one of the lowest education ratings and the highest count of teenage pregnancies in the country. Unfortunetly the majority of Kentuckians are proud of that. They are still sitting waiting for the mango moron and the turtleman to openup the coal mines so they can die a slow painful death from black lung. The water in the eastern part of the state is not only undrinkable but is not suitable for bathing. Yet these people still vote straight Republican.
I am disappointed in Florida but I think this will be the states undoing. Their tourism industry is being ruined by their state govenment and that is going to hurt big time. A friend went on vacation there a few weeks ago and ended up leaving early because the beaches were a mess. I also think that the election there was ta mpered with. It hppened before and it wouldn't surprise me if it happened again.
I decided to do something positive today to counter act my anger so I donated to Dare to Care for the Thanksgiving dinner program. It's sad to realize that so many people in our country are going without so that the rich 1% can have it all. Oh well I need to tke a break from all this but I don't know just how yet
Oh yeah! One other bright point to bring joy about the mid-terms. Kim Davis, that stupid little twit, who made national news for refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples due to here deep religious views (cough, she's been married 4 times and her kids were all bornout of wedlock) LOST TO A GAY MAN. He was one of the people she refused to issue a license to. Karma is a bitch!
Yogagirl,
I saw that she lost and could not be more happy. I love how they say they are religious and how wonderful they think they are and then you find out about her that she has been married so many time and all her kids out of wedlock. A lot of people use religion to cover their racism.
Tbis is a great time for the gay community no matter what Pence and the GOP has done to harm them they still have the support of the community. To the first openly gay governor in Colorado to Kim losing to a Gay man this makes me so happy. As a mother to a young child who is Bi-Sexual my love for him has never wavered not even for a second. I am so happy for this. This gives me some comfort that it’s not all bad for this new generation.
On the bright side they lost the HOUSE!!! Can you imagine all the fun things that are going to happen. The Democrats are not longer powerless in both houses. We have been heard. Not as loud as we wanted but we have been heard.
