Balloon Juice » Down Is Up

Everywhere you turn, the story is about how Democrats are going to lose seats this fall. I don't know why other than the whole "we are letting idiots are liars be seen as credible" problem. Juan Cole points out why voting out the folks saving our bacon is ridiculous.

When the President was elected and this congress took office, we were losing over half a million jobs a month. Now, we are gaining jobs.

In the past year and a half, they've stabilized the banks, the economy, and the major car companies, they passed health care reform that adds thirty million people and cuts the deficit long term while getting rid of the worst abuses of the insurance companies, extended the solvency of Medicare for a decade, we're drawing down troops in Iraq, we are making progress with green energy, there has not been one successful terrorist attack on American soil, we've just signed a nuclear arms reduction treaty and re-examined our use of nuclear weapons and we are making great progress on the global stage. Hell, the DOW is up over 3,000 since we got rid of the bums. Personally, we're getting a road paved near me that was a disaster, and it is being paid for with stimulus money. We're gonna put some people to work and have a nice paved road! And Obama and company did it all without getting blowjobs from interns.

And we're going to reward them by kicking a lot of them out of office. We're a really stupid country.

Bob Cesca covered this in a similar post this weekend.
