Maggie's Farm

It takes two or maybe three small-beans scandals in the space of as many weeks to completely reverse public opinion these days. So, if one Republican Senator is found to be snuggling with his male aide, another says something tacky about Mexicans and crime, and a third tries to steal money from ACORN, the media people will cover nothing else for weeks, and the polls will flip over to a Dem rout.

Face it: we're a country in which the highest-spending campaign almost always wins the election. This means that most American voters are making their choices based on the last commercial they happened to catch.

We get what we deserve. This time, We The People decided that a Chicago Huckster was cute, and so we made him President! - and then we let the Huckster class rip off most of our money (fer cripe's sake, what did we think Chicago politicians were good at - macrame? No, they STEAL!) and then we took them to our ATM machines and took out loans so they could steal THAT money from us, too.

Unless we repeal and repudiate, we're screwed. This is gonna be like paying off the expensive-car loan for ten years after the car died.
