The once mighty fists that pumped at the screen while Sean Hannity preached about the socialist government have turned to mild shoulder shrugs as Americans realize that there is nothing they can do about it.

"I was so angry about the bailouts, the lack of government oversight and stimulus money that I was actually following what was going on in the government," said Ron Phillips. "That lasted about a year and a half before I finally threw in the towel. At this point, who gives a shit? Democrat, Republican, they're all doing the same nonsense and I can't do a thing about it."

Politicians are chalking up this trend as a victory and look forward to future back room deals with lobbyists, irresponsible spending and some of the best D.C. whores money can buy.

"It's about time these fanatic citizens stopped showing up to these fucking town hall meetings," said a representative who wished not to be identified. "I'm actually surprised that they were able to last as long as they did. Do you realize how screwed this government is? And we don't even reveal how bad it really is. Kudos American citizens, Kudos."
