To ALL voters, do not be an idiot and vote based on party. If you are truly an intelligent person, you will research candidates and think it out thoroughly. Remember, it is up to us to make a better future.

I can see the loony-left is at their name calling with their intelligent response if one disagrees with the Obama administration by calling them racists. I am going to celebrate when the derelict Democrats are ousted from Congress at next year's election. Then we will see a big increase in the whining from the loony-left wondering what they did wrong, which is most everything imaginable.
