I make fun of the go team go attitude of dem voters, but I'm guilty too. I unsubscribed to Addicting info and Occupy Democrats not soon after I subscribed to them, because I like to think dems are smart, I couldn't handle that bubble being popped.

What happens when ... when the Dog finally catches the Car?
Unfortunately, we are about to find out ...
It can't, because it already is one. It has been for a while, and no matter who got elected, it was going to be a fascist in the white house, because both of the candidates were fascists, one subtle, one blatant.
