Weak rationalizations

Sat., Nov. 22, 2014

It is interesting that the mid-term election results (a sweep by Republicans) are viewed differently by some people. The White House has put its spin on it, saying that it was not a backlash against our lying president.

At last, one letter to the editor tried to whitewash the results by claiming that is was low voter turnout and voter apathy that resulted in the Republican sweep, clearly implying that a minority of Americans still support the President and the Democrats. They were just too lazy to vote.

Yea, right! Get over it, you lost. Don’t worry, your turn will come again, but hopefully not with another Clinton in the White House.
