Elections have consequences...except for Republicans

In spite of going to great lengths to disenfranchise voters, implement Jim Crow-like laws, intimidate, and flood the airwaves with misinformation, glossy mailings, robo-calls, the Republicans lost a few wackos in November and will loose even more next election.

They seem not to have noticed the preferences of the majority of voters who are no longer willing to tolerate subsidizing the wealthy, misogyny, racism and the continuous obstruction by extremists that undermines government function.

Voters know who caused the failures.

When the Tea Baggers can't even support Hurricane Sandy relief for devastated communities, where are we?

President Clinton and Vice President Gore left office with BUDGET SURPLUSES that Republicans destroyed. Let's not re-write history, folks. It's time to restore fiscal sanity with tax increases that Americans understand.

Nothing defines the issue more than the title of Paul Krugman's oped - well worth reading:
