“I am sick and tired of this administration. I’m sick and tired of what’s going on. I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired, and I hope you are, too.”

Joe Biden

I’m sick and tired, too.

I’m sick and tired of a president who pretends that a caravan of impoverished refugees is an “invasion” by “unknown Middle Easterners” and “bad thugs” — and whose followers on Fox News pretend the refugees are bringing leprosy and smallpox to the United States. (Smallpox was eliminated about 40 years ago.)

I’m sick and tired of a president who misuses his office to demagogue on immigration — by unnecessarily sending 5,200 troops to the border and by threatening to rescind by executive order the 14th Amendment guarantee of citizenship to anyone born in the United States.

I’m sick and tired of a president who is so self-absorbed that he thinks he is the real victim of mail-bomb attacks on his political opponents — and who, after visiting Pittsburgh despite being asked by local leaders to stay away, tweeted about how he was treated, not about the victims of the synagogue massacre.

I’m sick and tired of a president who cheers a congressman for his physical assault of a reporter, calls the press the “enemy of the people ” and won’t stop or apologize even after bombs were sent to CNN in the mail.

I’m sick and tired of a president who employs the language of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about Jewish financier George Soros and “globalists,” and won’t apologize or retract even after what is believed to be the worst attack on Jews in U.S. history.

I’m sick and tired of a president who won’t stop engaging in crazed partisanship, denouncing Democrats as “evil,” “un-American” and “treasonous” subversives who are in league with criminals.

I’m sick and tired of a president who cares so little about right-wing terrorism that, on the very day of the synagogue shooting, he proceeded with a campaign rally, telling his supporters, “Let’s have a good time.”

I’m sick and tired of a president who presides over one of the most unethical administrations in U.S. history — with three Cabinet members resigning for reported ethical infractions and the secretary of the interior the subject of at least 18 federal investigations.

Telling people to blindly vote against a Republican, is about the same as the President telling everyone that voting for a democrat is stupid. An election , is for the sake of filling a job opening. The right person for the right job, should be the basis for your vote.

Truth be told I think that the greater percentage of politicians are liars and crooks. Some enter politics clean and innocent and, become just as dirty and corrupt as the ones they originally vowed to replace. But there are a few good ones still out there on both sides of the party lines. A few not even belonging to the red or blue parties

Good luck

There may be qualified people on both sides. But at this point, any candidates who still stand with the Republican Party have ruled themselves out, at least in my book. Until and unless that party undergoes a major transformation, I'm unlikely to change my position.

An example of blindly supporting a party, no mater who they support for the position is NJ Senator Bob Menendez, he has been in office for years, has a series of accusations, sanctions against him. If you do not mind corruption or immorality, he is probably your man. He is sadly a Democrat, and even sadder, doing well in the pols.

For those members not in the North East, Google the name.

In NY we have a Democrat Anthony Delgado, running for office. Probably has zero qualifications, not that you need any to run for office. A former rapper, running against a Republican named Faso. Faso is a proven liar. So do we choose from the lesser of the 2 clowns , only based on their party nominations ?

In the North East, we have a mid term election, that reads like bad comedy. No matter how unqualified, dirty, convicted, they are still supported blindly by their party members.

Right man, right woman, right human being for the right job.

I will not now or ever vote for a fucking Republican as they have existed since Reagan. They do not believe in democracy plain and simple. Since the utterly corrupt Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act in 2013 they have been on a relentless mission gutting the right to vote. And if you are a minority(sexual, religious or racial) or a woman for that matter you are an absolute fool to vote for them. They fucking HATE you.

George Will said the same earlier in the year.

The principle: The congressional Republican caucuses must be substantially reduced. So substantially that their remnants, reduced to minorities, will be stripped of the Constitution’s Article I powers that they have been too invertebrate to use against the current wielder of Article II powers. They will then have leisure time to wonder why they worked so hard to achieve membership in a legislature whose unexercised muscles have atrophied because of people like them.

Why Aren’t Democrats Walking Away With the Midterms

Because Republicans do everything they can to steal elections. Across the country you have new voting laws being enacted to stop minorities and college students from voting.

In Texas you have the second largest state in population, but 50th in voter turnout, by design.

In North Dakota Republicans have been working, since Heidi Heitkamp was elected in 2012, to make sure she isn't reelected. Did they do this by offering compelling reasons to vote for Republican candidate Cramer?

Of course not.

They enacted laws barring people without ids with addresses to not vote, which disenfranchised huge swaths of Native Americans.

In Georgia you have a Republican Secretary of State Kemp purging minorities from voting lists, when he is running for governor.

Now you have the Republican president running Willie Hortonesque ads.

You have Fox News hyping a faux "invasion."

You have Republicans rushing to defend the ACA and running ads saying they are going to protect pre-existing conditions, an outright lie.

Finally, there is gerrymandering. An excellent example is Michigan of how that formula works.
In 2016, voters statewide split their ballots essentially 50-50 between Republican and Democratic state House candidates. Yet Republicans won 57% of the House seats, claiming 63 seats to the Democrats' 47.

The reason Democrats aren't running away with the election?

Republicans hate democracy and have no moral issue whatsoever rigging the vote.

The last paragraph follows:

If you’re sick and tired, too, here is what you can do. Vote for Democrats on Tuesday. For every office. Regardless of who they are. And I say that as a former Republican. Some Republicans in suburban districts may claim they aren’t for Trump. Don’t believe them. Whatever their private qualms, no Republicans have consistently held Trump to account. They are too scared that doing so will hurt their chances of reelection. If you’re as sick and tired as I am of being sick and tired about what’s going on, vote against all Republicans. Every single one. That’s the only message they will understand.

The stench for many of principle and morality has become unbearable.

There is a wave of Republicans leaving Congress, updated again


Steve Schmidt, Longtime G.O.P. Strategist, Quits ‘Corrupt’ and ‘Immoral’ Party


When the obituary for the Republican Party is written, the year 1980 will be cited as the beginning of the end. Reaganism was in full flower, but the big tent was already folding. Republican leaders endorsed a constitutional ban on abortion at the convention that summer, ending the party’s historic commitment to women’s rights and personal freedom.

The party relies on useful idiots and Uncle Toms to win of which I am neither.

So one guy "probably" has zero qualifications, "probably" by your terms, and that makes him a clown? Or is it that he was once a rapper? Ronald Reagan once acted in a movie with a monkey, and despite being one of our worst presidents ever, maybe more due to his senility than anything else, he is the hero of one party. Literally, an insane person running the country, selling weapons to our enemies, trading human lives, but a guy who used to rap is a clown?

When a party is so misguided that they allow their decisions to be influenced by race, they disregard the environment we live in, the damage the party they rely on to benefit those who already have the most, they attack the media that fairly reports their activity and claims that across the board it is a lie. Anyone who can vote for that is blind, and voting to appose that is that farthest thing imaginable from blindness.

I think people should vote for whoever best represents their ideas and politics.

I know a lot of people like to put down politicians by calling them corrupt or liars, but I honestly don't think they are any worse than others in a similar position of power and influence. I really don't. Our politicians and government have a lot of problems but they're really a reflection of us as a people and society.

The American people prefer charisma over competence and a happy lie over a hard truth. Can you really blame politicians for giving people what they want?

Kids will eat candy for breakfast, because that is what they want. If a Parent gives the child what it want, when they want it, it is not the fault of the child if it gets sick; or becomes unhealthy. It is the fault and a poor reflection on the parent / s

So yes I do partially agree with Wally

Well, as a registered Republican; and a fan of Ronald Reagan the politician , not the actor. I stand by my comment. You will see I call both the Democrat as well as the Republican Clowns. As this is a local race, I am a little more informed about the candidates that members 500 miles away. Thus, I only referenced local races. I would invite members to concentrate on their local elections and politicians for their merit and not their party affiliations

I registered as a republican in College, sort of a Knee jerk reason at the local, register to vote rally. Though I have always voted my conscience and not blindly along party lines. I am African American, however I have never used the term Uncle Tom to describe anyone, as it is offensive.

I wish you luck in next weeks vote. I still can not fathom how Trump still has the support he does. It's sad really that his message is so widely embraced. Lets hope it's not as widely embraced as he would have people believe on Tuesday.

Trump is in no other words "terrible" but I feel that the Republican members of congress and the senate that stand idly by and don't denounce a president who willfully, knowingly and intentionally spreads lies (not spin, lies) and hatred and fear are worse than he is. Shame is the only word.

The fact that so many states seem to go out of there way to stop people from voting is one of the greatest shames of your "democracy" Surely some federal laws could be changed to prevent the gerrymandering and voter id laws that prevent people from exercising their right to vote could be enacted.

I sincerely wish you well. The world is watching.

This isn't strictly true. Voter disenfranchisement is absolutely real, but low voter turnout by itself is not a proof of disenfranchisement.

Here’s Why Texas Voter Turnout Was So Low, and Why It’s Surging Now

We do have a very restrictive voter ID law compared to other states, but it doesn't have the impact the way people elsewhere think it does. A recent study found that almost everyone who was technically eligible to vote but didn't vote does have a legal form of ID (it's not really restricting anyone from voting, but it makes some people think they're restricted from voting). Same end result, but it's why the law has survived so many challenges.

In Texas, almost all non-voters have a photo ID — but few understand the voter identification rules

Of course shame, morality, ethics, American "ideals" are all meaningless to them. Any tool in the book that maintains and strengthens power in the end is a great tool no matter what it does to the myth of America being a bastion for democracy and freedom and justice.

Let’s just say it: The Republicans are the problem.

It is clear that the center of gravity in the Republican Party has shifted sharply to the right. Its once-legendary moderate and center-right legislators in the House and the Senate — think Bob Michel, Mickey Edwards, John Danforth, Chuck Hagel — are virtually extinct.

We have been studying Washington politics and Congress for more than 40 years, and never have we seen them this dysfunctional. In our past writings, we have criticized both parties when we believed it was warranted. Today, however, we have no choice but to acknowledge that the core of the problem lies with the Republican Party.

The GOP has become an insurgent outlier in American politics. It is ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition.


I sincerely wish you well. The world is watching.

Wish the planet well because as America sinks into authoritarianism, fascism, nationalism and Lenin style One Party Rule so to the world. There will be no Allies like WWII to rescue it from the Axis Powers this go round with the US, China and Russia headed by dictators.
