We have a new country now after this past election where just about anyone who had a R next to their name meaning that a  Republican got a new job. It is a sad day for any liberal or Democrat. We elected the first black woman into Congress who is also a Mormon from Utah. It represents great progress for them since Mormons did not even accept women until the 1970;s. This is very progressive. Even the worst of the worst in their districts got re-elected. People like Michael Grim who has been known to be the most corrupt fundraiser in Congress got re-elected. He is from Staten Island who is going to jail, indicted for 20 counts of fraud also won.

Sam Brownback the Governor of Kansas got reelected despite all the problems he caused his state. He moved  $100 Million dollars planned for highways to fund other projects, reduced pensions and cut other agencies. Joni Ernst from Iowa won. She is Iowa’s first female Senator from the state whose campaign spokeswoman was arrested for DWI. All her campaign advertisements proudly boasted on how she used to castrate hogs on the farm. In her acceptance speech she said she will go to Washington and make them squeal. If she is planning to cut the balls off the Democrats, well good luck finding them. They have all been voted out
.
This year was the lowest voter turnout since 1942. It is as if Democratic voters just gave up. Meanwhile Republicans said they intend to disrupt all the causes Obama was trying to implement for the past  4 years like repealing health care, block amnesty and  continually investigating Obama. The oddest thing that happened in this election is that all the causes that liberals wanted won like minimum wage reform and gun control but then the people voted for the representatives who were going to block them.  We need truth in advertising in terms of commercials for candidates. The way people are elected just turns people off now. It is inconvenient to go to schools to vote when we can do everything else we need from our home or office now. Don’t tell us to simply vote yes on Proposition blah blah, we need to know more about who and what we want.

Some believe the voting power should be based on most populated areas rather than largest land mass. Just in the Senate they represent acreage and not people. Rural people are benefiting from the laws being passed and there are not that many of them.  The 25 smallest states have only 16% per cent of the population but they have half the senators.   Politicians have become professional liars to most people and we are just not in the mood anymore yet if we don’t vote some quack will get in with their weird followers. The problem now is that we have billionaires making huge campaign contributions having a Congress working for them but not for ordinary people. We need to overturn this Citizen’s United Supreme Court Decision.
