America, we need a third party that can galvanize our generation. One that doesn't reek of pansy. I propose a U.S. Pirate Party.

Can we stop referring to democrats and republican as liberal and conservative. Republicans are not conservative and democrats are not liberal.

Dems lose super majority, but that's okay. They weren't using it anyway

Obama signed an executive order to crackdown federal contractors who don't pay their taxes: "Simply wrong for companies to take taxpayer dollars and not be taxpayers themselves"

Don't believe the hype. One Senate race does not reflect a national mood, and 60 votes is not such a magic number. It's not like the Dems were changing much with their supermajority when they had it. It's still business as usual in corporatist Washington.
