1. Screw "No Labels."

It's more weak, smug, lily-livered, kumbaya "bipartisanship." Sometimes - and this is one of those times - bipartisanship is bullshit.

4. So that explains why they were able to get an audience with the committee while a

law student had to go thru hell to speak at another committee hearing.

2. At this time we need more liberal voices not less. The Partisanship shit is all on 1 side. We do

not need any more calls to unite in the ever rightward middle.
If you want less partisan bickering, tell the Right wing nuts to STFU.

3. Mostly Repubs. labels removed so folks will be fooled.
