Thoughts on the election
That was an ass-kicking. The people soundly rejected Obama. Republicans, take note: This was not about giving you guys a mandate to go and do what you usually do, like pass PATRIOT Acts, ban online poker, spend too much money, expand government, and ban light bulbs. This was about stopping Obama. And his bungling. And his incompetence. And his policies that most people do not want. So, keep doing that.
I fully support gridlock.
Do not “reach across the aisle”. If the people wanted you to work with democrats, they’d have elected democrats. Stop them.
Also, I was watching the election results last night. I kept panning back and forth between Fox and CNN. Eventually, I watched PMSNBC for the lulz. But at one point, the Fox guys cut to Rand Paul (who was at the Mitch rally) and Paul, like a laser and in less time than a laser, began bashing Hillary Clinton for her failures. Wow. I guess he’s running.

Yes, Rand Paul was all over the Clinton’s since they both spent a lot of time in KY, yet McConnel won easily. In 2010 Bill Clinton came to KY in an effort to prevent Paul’s election to the Senate, as did some establishment Republicans when he won that Primary. He pointed out that the Clinton clout was crushed! Rand Paul is probably the most pro gun rights Senator along with Cruz.

I am conducting an experiment with Hillary’s proto-campaign.
In the 2008 primary season, I kept getting letters and emails from her campaign urging me, a registered Republican in the blood-red state of Texas, to support her efforts. I guess it was a mistake by the campaign, or a joke by a friend who submitted my name to her campaign.
So for the past 6 years, every place online that I can, I leave comments pointing out Hillary’s shrill harpy-like personality, her habitual, self-serving, damaging lies throughout her entire life, her complete lack of ethics going back to her job as a Watergate lawyer, her explicit enabling and continuing defense of a serial philanderer/adulterer/harasser/rapist, and that she is the last person who should be entrusted with any position of responsibility, let alone elected to a leadership role.
I want to see how negative towards her I have to be to be removed from any campaign email/mail/pledge/begging lists maintained by her campaign between now and 2016.
How opposed do I have to be toward Hillary, for her campaign to stop bothering me to support her?
I urge everyone else to do the same, even if you aren’t being targeted for support by her campaign.

To say that Obama is a bungling incompetent is like saying of a bank robber that he bungled into the bank and incompetently made a withdrawal.
