[Sosfbay-discuss] Judgement Day in Massachusetts

[Eric A. Meece]

I think we can pretty well give up now on planet earth and amerika. The 
Democrats had one year, and did nothing with it. Now we have republicans 
back in charge, probably for another 15 years. That added to 14 years before 
2008, and another 12 years before 1993. We are wrecked. Republicans be 
damned. Americans are so stupid in so many ways; it is amazing. Bush created 
all the problems they are blaming Obama for.
