The likes of Mitch McConnel and Joni Ernst make the US a bleaker place today.

This election was bought and paid for by the Koch Brothers and their Billionaire buddies.

We wake up to a different world this morning, one not of our making. We like to say, “Those Texans deserve what they get when they vote for Ted Cruz,” or “Those Minnesotans deserve what they get when they elect Michele Bachmann,” and so forth.

But the 2014 Midterms have come and gone, and I can tell you right now, having woken up to Scott Walker as governor of Wisconsin, I don’t feel I deserve what I got.

Which is a reverse Christmas. One where they come and take all your gifts away from you. The simple fact is, as Jason Easley wrote here last night, that the Republicans conned America.

They did so with corporate money, with the money of the wealthy who love their tax cuts, with the complicity of the mainstream media (for example, MSNBC’s Chuck Todd claiming during last night’s coverage that both parties had equal amounts of money to spend).
