  Yeah...yeah...nothing is ever going to get done in America if we continue to have two opposing parties trying to play the game of, "I'm better!". Seriously, it's like there's two giant kids smashing through America fighting over a toy.
  
  Arizona is pretty much screwed again, thanks to who was elected our governor. The other guy never really stood a chance, considering Douchey spent 30 million on smear campaigns against him, which were all funded by "anonymous" donors from outside the state. Outside. the. State. So now we'll have people who don't even fucking live here controlling what will happen. Joy >.> I'm waiting to see how much education is going to be cut again, because Arizona seems to be under the assumption that cutting 415 million from education a year is a good thing.

  
  
  Stupid people = easily manipulated voters.

  Here's the thing, it's not actually all voters' fault. It's the system:

  You guys don't have it bad unless you live in Kansas. Our republican Governor and Senator that were up for re-election got it by a thread in a state that is normally ruby-red. We would of actually had a fucking independent crash the senate and hopefully make some waves. What do the idiots of Kansas do? Gotta make sure they stay true to their party, regardless of how bad he is.
  
  And our Governor Brownback has pissed off lots of his republican voters yet they STILL vote for him because they believe that they can never vote for anything else regardless of their party affiliation. Kansas is screwed economically forever considering how bad Brownback bankrupted the state, tightened abortion laws (I don't even know if women can even GET an abortion anymore in Kansas), cut funding to the arts, and many other things.
  
  I've also given up hope on our senators in praying that they won't act like Ted Cruz towards Net Neutrality. One of our senators (Pat Roberts) probably doesn't even know what the fucking internet is.
