Watching the midterm election results makes me squirm for a number of reasons.
1. Republicans are making gains. Stupid Republicans, to be more specific. Crazy Tea Party Republicans, to get right to the point. Rand Paul, ophthalmologist and advocate for eliminating the Federal Reserve and Department of Education, is an elected Senator. What?!
2. I just heard Republican Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn fail to answer the question, "What is discretionary spending?"
3. Ben Lowe is going to lose the Illinois 6th District. Peter Roskam, incumbent Republican from the 6th, despite saying he was taking his opponent seriously, refused to engage him in a public debate.
4. MSNBC just reported that, as was expected, the Republicans have regained control of the House. Gridlock, amplified? You betcha.
5. Way too many Republican seats were uncontested.
