Here's what needs to fucking happen.

IF THEY HAVE A FUCKING "R" AFTER THEIR NAME, THEY NEED TO BE BEATEN TO A BLOODY PULP THIS NOVEMBER!!!

Don't fall for this "clutching of pearls" about their "disdain" for Donnie Short Fingers, while they can't run fast enough to VOTE FOR EVERY MISERABLE PIECE OF WINGNUT LEGISLATION the shitbag will sign.

Sonny from the Godfather may not be the best analogy considering what happened to him, but he understood who the enemy was; "No more advice on how to patch things up, they give me Sollozzo OR IT'S ALL OUT WAR

Trump is worse than your average Republican. Dude's a white supremacist who is empowering the worst elements from our society. Anyone willing to fight that, including other Republicans, should be supported, as this is a fight for the soul of America.

He is a skeevy elitist, no doubt about it. But I will showcase the GOP "internal conflicts" and spit fights with zero remorse.

So, take a deep breath. Getting too riled up can skew your perspective.

Mitt Romney is a breath of fresh air. He is as liberal as we'll get from Utah in the Senate for the foreseeable future.

I don't like his policy ideas, and I think he is a "Thurston Howell" rich guy, looking down with disgust at all those who have less.

However, I never ever thought he was a racist. Nor G.W.

I think they're classist, sneering and dis-respecting everybody less than uber-wealthy, but not actually racist. They like rich black or latino or asian or whatever Americans just as much as rich white Americans. Anybody who's not rich, they don't give a rat's ass about.

In relation to that, I believe G.W. didn't respond faster to help the victims of Katrina, not because they were mostly African Americans, but because they were mostly poor.

Repigs are so good at saying things that voters want to hear, then once elected, doing everything that's opposed to the interests of those who voted for them. I will NEVER trust one to do anything to serve the true interests of the people. They only serve their masters.

That said, I'm happy to see him smack dRumpf down at least verbally once.
