EVERYTHING The GOP Wants To Do Is TOXIC or DEADLY To Everything Living.

There is not a single policy or initiative that any GOP legislator wants that is not just so TOXIC. You might as well inhale plutonium dust. So it is impossible to understand why ending the GOP should not be just so obvious.

If they (well, and we for that matter) survive the breathtakingly treasonous scandals of this presidency, they will have a long hard uphill battle to regain any shred of credibility.

I want to see a boulder roll over them as they try to get back up that hill, and watch as they keep having to get up, much like Prometheus...

It's either come up with horrible ideas or sit on their asses and draw a paycheck. I know which option I'd prefer they take.

Living in (now really red) MO, I die a little every day. Had been able to stay here because we would at least elect Dem for Gov. in the past... Now Blunt in for another 6, new GOP Gov, majority GOP Legislature and we are so screwed. My (soon to b x) husband grows more conservative every day. It is so over!! Moving west in 30 days!
