Does anyone remember that one? Maybe we ought to talk about that again. Or maybe explain why the cuts in Medicaid will result in all those old-timers in "nursing homes" coming back to live with the kids.

Every GOPuke has to be voted out of every office at the first opportunity. No exceptions.

Everyone was "poor but proud" and two generations lived in the same house, all believing in the Christian God. They all got along famously. That's the life the GOP wants for us.

Never mind that in the history of the world has never been a family as functional as the Waltons...
