Dear @HarryReid:
Because, let's face it, a single tweet is not enough to contain my absolute gobsmacked-ness at what you said tonight.
Which was, and I quote from CNN: "The message from voters is clear: they want us to work together," Reid said. "I look forward to working with Senator McConnell to get things done for the middle class."
If that's your takeaway from the absolute shellacking you just received at the hands of the American people, you are engaging in wishful thinking on the magnitude of that of a child who wishes for a pony every time she blows out her birthday candles.
The takeaway from is is not that we want Republicans to "work with you." Everyone knows that "work with you" is Democrat code-speak for "cave in to everything we want and get called nasty names anyway." The American people want to stop this lawless Administration in its gorram tracks, stop getting shit we don't want shoved down our throats, and stop the hemorrhaging at our borders.
If you want to "get things done for the middle class," then sit the hell down, shut the hell up, and leave us the hell alone. If you want to "get things done for the middle class," then how about starting with a complete and total overhaul of our utterly friggin' stupid tax code that it takes a team of friggin' accountants to understand? If you want to "get things done for the middle class," then how about curbing the rampant over-regulation we're faced with every time we turn around and find ourselves confronted with a new edict from Washington when we want to do stuff on our own damn property?
The message from voters is perfectly clear, because President Obama said it himself: Make no mistake, his agenda was on the ballot tonight. And it lost. Overwhelmingly, and under no uncertain terms.
So how about, for once, you actually listen to the American people and do what we want rather than what you think is best.
I don't elect nannies. I elect representatives. And you suck at representation.
Sincerely,
Me
PS: You had a chance to work with the GOP for the past two years, and all you did was block them at every turn. So I'm not super confident you actually mean what you're giving lip service to right now.
Dear Nevada:
Next time this inept excuse for a Senator comes up for re-election, would you please toss him out on his ear? Surely you can do better than this.
Sincerely,
Your neighbors to the east.
