People are disgusted with Congress' inability to accomplish anything, so they vote for the party that filibusters everything, stalls judicial nominations (to the point of near-crisis in some places), and refuses, in the Senate, to act on hundreds of pieces of legislation sent over from the House.

And, as for DADT, is there anyone with two functioning brain cells in their entire head that thinks a Republican majority will lift even one little pinkie finger's worth of effort to repeal DADT?

I understand being frustrated, desperate, angry. But for fucks sake, you don't respond by giving more power to the people that are screwing you sideways.

I'm starting to think that some folks vote for the candidates who scrare them the most..............
