American citizens no longer get to choose our politicians. The media chooses who gets elected. It is as simple as that. They vilify everyone else. If we want change, it must start with reigning in the media's stranglehold on politics. I don't want their opinion, i want facts.

Wake up! 290 bills passed by the House. The Senate won't even discuss 99% of them.
25 House-Passed Jobs Bills Stuck in the Democratic-Run Senate
The House passed three more common-sense jobs bills last week, bringing the current number of jobs bills awaiting a vote in the Democratic-controlled Senate to 25. Each of these bills is focused on removing government barriers – excessive regulations, the threat of tax hikes, and ‘stimulus’ spending policies – that are hurting job growth, and many have bipartisan support. Speaker Boehner has called on President Obama to “urge Senate Democrats to immediately vote” on the 25 jobs bills before them. This week the House is scheduled to consider two more, including the REINS Act.

Senate sitting on 290 bills already passed by House; tension mounts
Exasperated House Democratic leaders have compiled a list showing that they have passed 290 bills that have stalled in the Senate.
The list is the latest sign that Democrats in the lower chamber are frustrated with their Senate counterparts.

Blows my mind reading this thread, I saw it pop up last week but never got around to reading it til this morning.
With the exception of a few here, I say, shame on you ...
Shame on you Mister, "I told you so" -- What did you tell us exactly? Obviously something you believe we did not know but you did? Your gloating over the fact that we were in for a fight regardless of what happened, congratulations, you're excuse would had worked both ways ... you won a thorny crown of crap.
Shame on you Mister, "I voted third party" -- So what, you feel this makes you exempt from the problem? We were tasked with voting for the lesser of two evils, Not by our choice. You can't even make a post without admitting as much, yet you're choice was to vote for someone who had ZERO hope in winning and yet you use this as a defense for our current predicament, a tool to remove yourself from the situation. I admire those who think different, or believe in a vote for hope or change but to use it as a defense is cowardly.
Shame on you Mister, "Romney Supporter" -- You would have had us vote for Romney? That opens a can of worms one can not even begin to ponder the logic of. The banking cartel's poster boy, The pioneer of the outsourcing business model, The man who got rich putting American's out of work, He invests more money overseas than the US, He has created more jobs overseas than in the US, He wanted to make the whole country "Right To Work"(For Less), Obamacare would had simply been renamed Romneycare. I could go on and on ... I voted to keep this clown OUT. If this guy was your savior you really have no business saying ANYTHING in this thread.
We are in a battle here, some are aware of this. If you think you're decision would have brought us to the light at the end of the tunnel and parted the Red Sea to the promised land you are just as delusional as the one's you are pointing your finger at. The reality of the situation is either way was going to be a battle. Spin it how you want, There was only TWO choices here, the right battle was chosen this time with the choices we had.
The really sad thing is everyone is oblivious to the fact that this road was laid out well before most of us even found ourselves naked in the street, knee deep in this manure. Now we find ourselves arguing over the type of shovel to use to dig ourselves out with and who's technique or shovel is better. Some are trying to convince every one the smell isn't so bad, that their area is better than others, some yet are even eating it. Even sadder still is few seem to even know the reason we found ourselves in such a mess ... It is just easier to blame the other guy, who is in the same mess as you but dealing with it differently instead of looking around and figuring out the true cause of the turmoil, a centuries old plan being played out almost perfectly.
The vast majority of the replies in this post are exactly what is wrong with this Country, finger pointing, I told you so, Name calling, crying, complaining, blaming and it does absolutely nothing to fix the problem. In fact, us being divided and fighting among ourselves is exactly what they want.
Shame on US, for fighting amongst ourselves instead of dealing with the battle at hand, our forefathers would be ashamed, no matter what your excuse is ...

I don't think they bother anymore. They got their guy in for another four years.
I don't think they care about what people think. They don't need us for anything now.
They'll push their agenda no matter what.

the Øbama regime will deliberately put Muslims, Islamists in many sensitive positions...he already has a half-a-dozen in defense/intel/security/etc
(which is a direct contention between their Oath of office vs their religious oath of submission to Islam first & foremost) I say that this cadre of Muslims holding powerful and sensitive positions in regards to the security & stability of the USA & It's Constitution is a farce...
even as this muslim contageion (within the administration) of unknown loyalties is going on...

even as another $60 + Millions are given to the anti-Syrian rebels fighting against an anti-American Leader..
the rebels are AQ-Jihadists that are sworn enemies of the USA to begin with
this administration is funding the controlled destruction of the USA, both within and from outside

Aah, good ol' racism! Getting uglier for every time we meet, bringing nothing but stale leftovers to the table.
Always arriving too early and uninvited, never wiping its feet and always in bad company with ye olde ignoramous.
