I could go on a long rant about Liberals. But seeing how that is rude and my opinion, I thought I'd point out an interesting little fact.
The Democratic Party spent a billion dollars to reelect President Obama and win back the House of Representatives.
The Republican Party spent a billion dollars to defeat President Obama and hold the House of Representatives.
Barack Obama was reelected and Republicans retained the house. Meaning things have remained pretty much identical to the post 2010 midterm situation.
Except that 2 billion dollars...
Personal rant below. I'd recommend not reading.
Spoilers: (Highlight to reveal)
I am highly disappointed in the outcome of this election, I feel this country is getting far to Liberal, and I believe that puts on the path to end up like Ireland or Spain. I have a disdain for European style socialism; I do not believe in putting people on the dole, nor socialized medicine. I am gun owner and an advocate for second amendment rights. I not only feel, but know that Barack Obama's environmental policies have cost American Jobs, because I have seen it first hand. The people of my town are suffering because the amount of legislation and penalties for logging areas that were once hazard free have become enormous. Canadian timber and Russian timber is now replacing American because it has become cheaper for companies to buy Internationale than here in the U.S. I do feel Barack Obama is a economic drag, and his policies towards small businesses will prevent job growth. I also feel the Corporate tax is far too high, and I say this as a child who grew up poor in a family that more than once had to decide between heat and food. Finally, his support of the Death Tax is inexcusable. I lost my father, but I inherited his savings and house. My parents never married, so I was forced to act as an adult. I had just lost my father but now I had to sign countless tax forms, and I was forced sell my fathers home to pay off the mortgage, which his life insurance would have covered were it not for the inheritance tax. What did I get in return? A monthly pidence until I was 18, which amounted to less than money than the government took from me. I hated receiving those checks, someone else deserved that money; someone in need. I wanted what my father wanted me to have, and by damn be it Barack Obama or Captain Communist no power in this world will stop me from earning what is mine! I will earn my fortune and keep and no community organizing fop who doesn't know what it's truly like to go without will take it from me! I am a Capitalist, I believe in a Free Market, and I believe the government has no place it.
