A Tale of Two Cities

Boy, what a contrast between President Obama and Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell's speeches after Tuesday's midterm election. Dumping President Obama is McConnell's highest priority (his words, not mine). So this is what America has to look forward to: gridlock. Despite voters saying in poll after poll they want Congress and the President to work together, the message just doesn't sink in.

Look, the more of this post-election stuff I witness (and take part in), the more I'm afraid your side might turn out to be accused of utter butthurt. I was surprised that my expectations to see these forums getting flooded with triumphalist conservative exclamations, got overwhelmed by liberal lamentations instead - of the saddest "but you're not gonna work with us; where's your integrity/responsibility/bipartisanship, no oh no!" sort.

Dude, the world hasn't ended yet. Maybe just take a break from this subject and give it a rest for a while. Without even noticing these sort of statements have most certainly been giving ammo to your opponents who are probably sniggering under their breath and who would've probably laughed-out-loud if they weren't still so drunken from the victory party. ;)

For a person who's making claims I'm hyperventilating, you're really reading a lot into what I've posted here. But thanks for trying to cheer "my side" [finger quotes] up.

I would've needed it, had these matters been of any direct concern to me. Believe me, I'm your neutral side spectator so you may trust me to notice stuff that may not be visible from inside the boiling pot.

I may be reading too much, granted. I'm only sharing an observation which has been sneaking in for the last couple of days.

He said something bad at first? Tell me he said something bad and I'll spank him.

Nah he is a nice guy.

Thanks, I truly appreciate that! ;)

Curious how it's pretty evident even to a remote foreigner how today everything boils down to your-side/my-side in American politics (but sadly, not only there).

McConnell only pays attention to the wishes of the 'real' Americans. Screw anyone else.

It was about time you brought out the heavy artillery. ;)

You're kinda right, you know. Aren't our comrades getting a bit too whiny lately? Grow up a somewhat tougher spine, shall we? Show some teeth dignity, perhaps?

The Dems must be known for having a loser mentality for a reason. Go on comrades, prove it wrong.

Accused? Next you'll tell me people are going to accuse OJ of murdering Nicole.

I was trying to be diplomatic. :)
