Republicans want to burn the place down!

Republicans are ecstatic, orgasmic with their pre-election thoughts coming to fruition. Shut Down!

These idiots are supposed to be in charge of us.

Public opinion is against them!

Federal workers should protest and go after the Republicans.

is a good and meaningful thing, and exactly what needs to be done now. Sometimes, the boys in the back find them useful (?), and shove them in front of a camera.

They had to go in today without pay to find out they didn't get paid and to log out for an undetermined period of time. The Cost of Living is seriously high and wages do not keep up as it is. Troglodytes. Republicans.

Republicans don't understand when they've overreached, even long after everyone else in the country understands they've gone too far. This was obvious back when the the GOP wanted to force-feed Terri Schaivo, and it's how my subject line took its name. By the time some proto-'bagger showed up with a statue of Jesus on an actual trailer hitch on a large SUV, anyone who was anyone could see what a clownish spectacle the whole thing had become. The same thing is happening here, except this time around, the focus of Republicans' attention is all of us, everyone in the country, and not just one poor woman in a vegetative state.

As it stands, lots of people who may tolerate the baggers now will not be tolerating them soon. By the time the Republicans figure this out, it's going to be far too late. Some of them already understand this, but they sold their souls to the InBaggers a long time ago.
