Washington, DC: With mid-term elections complete, Republicans grabbed the majority of seats in the House of Representatives, and edged closer to breaking even in the Senate. One cause of this game of political musical chairs was the public’s fear of economic stability, as stock market fluctuations, loan depreciation, and job losses occurred during a whole 2 years of President Obama’s administration.
The conservative public’s remedy for the elections: blame Obama.
However, the court of public opinion proved to be a fickle lot, as self-titled “political types” have already begun the process of blaming the Republican Party for its woes once again, merely a week after the polls closed and the GOP was unofficially awarded a resurgence of influence in Washington.
“By my count, The election happened 6 days ago, and not a damned thing changed,” stated political pundit Grant Marshall. “Conservatives take over the House of Representatives, but there’s still no change? Who’s the jerk now?”
Many are annoyed that their newly appointed politicians have not started to work towards America’s prosperity. For instance, soon-to-be Speaker of the House John Boehner was seen at a golf course in Palm Springs, Florida, this past weekend.
“We have a country in crisis, and this guy is playing golf? This is why people hate politicians. I expect these guys to work 24-7 during their time, and fix this country in a month,” exclaimed faux-pundit Stacey Skolnik.
Of course, many Democrats understand that seats will not change hands until January, but few actually care. “The GOP and its supporters have been riding Obama about not making snap changes since he was president elect. Now those bitches are in play, too,” continued Marshall.
Some have gone as far as to create the Political Karma Party, the liberals’ answer to the conservative’s Tea Party. With this new faux-party, Democrats will be able to coordinate radical protests, incoherent political theories, and fantastic policies that would never hold up in the real world. since it is a separate party, the Democratic Party would be able to feign ignorance about the party’s intentions.
Unfortunately, “Political Karma” may be too vague a reference for the general public, as many people are already hunting for “this awesome-sounding band’s album.”
