If the rich are 1%, then the 99% mathematically should have more votes, collectively. What the Republican House has been doing (letting aside McConnell and his control of the Senate in the past three years) are there so many foolish people in the 99% who will vote for more of the same. The thought of that is shocking. I would assume it is not from understanding the candidates, their real goals and positions which basically do not aim for the better life for the 99% and their descendants. Added to my conjecture is a Gallup poll that says only 39% say they would re-elect the person they had chosen to represent them in the last election. The Congress should now be proud of the fact that they have the lowest approval vote since the Gallup Poll was started in the 70s.
Pat Robertson reacted with much scorn and Bible thumping about the SNL(Saturday Night Live) skit which had Christ come into the locker room and talk to Tim Tebow and the Brochos Team. Robertson was scandalized that someone dared to have Christ come in and talk as any responsible Atheist might have challenged the scenario in which Tebow thought that his success was due to Christ. (Robertson must have missed the very funny South Park episodes with Jesus.) The challenge was whether Christ would favor this team over all others who pray to him. It challenges those who truly believe that God listens to them totally. They forget that God (and probably his son) helps those who help themselves and that was much of his message. Robertson forgets the right to free speech and the freedom of religion we are supposed to have in our country.
When will the voters. who put this totally incompetent group of Norquist robots into one of the most important offices we have in government, realize we need government and we need people representing us who are not guided by pledges to fast talking con men and the naive who think government should not play a major role in our lives?
