Gee, those Senate polls are looking terrible, aren't they? Although we cats believe there's still too much weirdness at play to make the ever-repulsive Mitch McConnell automatic Majority Leader on Tuesday, it's kinda discouraging to see bad numbers on the last weekend before Election Day.
We may not know anything until December or even January. But whenever Harry Reid holds his first press conference after the Republicans take over the upper chamber, we hope he gets asked this question: "Is your mission over the next two years to keep the Republican Senate from accomplishing anything? Because that's what the GOP has done to you."
And if Harry got that question, and answered it honestly (that is, "yes"), he would of course be raked over the coals — not just by Republicans but by the credulous talking heads in Pundit World.
We cats have never understood why nobody in the Beltway opinion sphere has ever pointed out how Democrats, smarting from a good whuppin' in 1980, put the country ahead of partisanship and worked with Ronald Reagan and the GOP to get stuff done — while the Republicans, in their 2009-Inaugural secret dinner, buoyed their spirits by deciding to block Obama at every turn, the welfare of the nation be damned.
To thump their chests as uber-patriots for so long, and then to do that? We thought the media lived to expose hypocrisy, so we don't know what they're waiting for. Until the GOP gets called on their treachery, we cats HISS.
