Election live 4

10:09: Jim DeMint suggests that ONLY the Democrats are tied to special interests that bog down progress in this country. Which I guess is true, except for the NRA, big oil, big business, Wall Street, the KKK, curb stompers everywhere,
10:02: John McCain wins Arizona. “Thank you, my friends. I call you my friends because I am so old that I have forgotten everyone’s name.”
10:01: DEVAL PATRICK WINS MASSACHUSETTS GUBERNATORIAL RACE. And I can breath, there is sanity in America, albeit a small part.
9:49: Rand Paul says we are in the middle of a recession. We are not. I mind, terribly, that people like him get away with this. They say things they KNOW to be FALSE and parts of America buy it.
He also asks for a Tea Party Caucus. You don’t get to run as a Republican and then request a Caucus for a new party. Run as the Tea Party candidate if you want recognition as a separate party.
9:31: Rubio, in his victory speech, calls America “the single greatest nation in the history of humanity.” Is that compared to Rome and adjusted for inflation?
9:19: Boehner just compared to Tip O’Neill. I just died more inside, and poor Tip is rolling in his grave.
9:12: Rand Paul quotes Thomas Jefferson, and then goes into a small government rant. No joke here – only admiration for a man (Jefferson) who can have said so much that seems to apply to both parties. I think he, Like Jesus, is often wrongly invoked. I don’t think Rand Paul, or his writing staff, has any earthly clue how Jefferson would feel about the state of politics right now.
9:07: We are in the middle of a debt crisis. I forget, since 1960, who has run this country into more deficit? Oh, right, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office says it is, in this order: Bush II, Reagan, Bush I. Facts tend to confuse people who don’t think and assess for themselves.
9:05: Rand Paul speaks, poorly. “We’ve come to take our government back.” Again, chirst, man – how much sway and pull and power do you expect to HAVE as a freshman Senator. “Tea Party tidal wave? You’ve gotten 5 people elected. I piss stronger fluids than that.
