59. Reality comes after Tuesday

Sun Nov 4, 2012, 01:25 PM

Nov 2012

All you have presented here is your desires, much as I have done. Only I have also added in the history about the wave of democracy that times like these demand.

Now, if you are right, and more than half this country demands more teabaggers and idiots to be in power, then any wise man would do well to part with such company,

I feel a need to express hope, and find posters such as you, GB, to be most discouraging.

Now are you pleased as peaches that you are seen in such a bad light? After all, you could just walk away from the keyboard, but no, you just keep typing defeat, over and over and over.

Get the hint?
