6. Republicans are already "in control" of Congress.

And they're now enabled by the old guard of the RepubliDem senators like Reid and Feinstein to solidify their power.

Yeah, Senate Dems talk a good talk, but it's all about the votes, and they're the reason why our country isn't moving forward faster; why homeowners were booted out of their homes while banks paid their CEO's astronomical bonuses for jilting the American homeowner; why only rich people and corporations are allowed to have the BK courts reassess the value of their homes and get rid of the excess.

Our Congress is no longer "government of, by, or for" the people. It's become a government purely for the oligarchy.
