Eventually, they will get bored with all the money and start building bridges, schools, roads, public hospitals, etc.

want to do.

Please UNDERSTAND what a REPUBLICAN controlled WH, Senate and house means.

NO welfare, at all.

NO social security, at all. They will roll it over to Wall STreet which will steal it instantly

NO infrastructure, at all.

NO tech progress, at all.

NO taxes on the rich and corps and massive taxes on the poor.



So go ahead, tell me there is no difference between Hillary and the right...I dare you

However, I would 100% vote for her if she's the Dem nominee for the general election. She is WAY better than the RW on all social and environmental issues and most worker issues. Unfortunately, she is too close to Repugs when it comes to banking and finance.

and all have homes hundreds of miles away from any public transport corridors so therefore the Repugs are free to let corporations kill us.

There is just no logic to the Repug mind, except can't spend anything on anything that doesn't directly and only benefit the rich. If a bill it has benefits for any other class of people, regardless of how much it promotes a general good or how needed, it must be killed on sight.

That's the truly sad reality, minus snark.

No doubt they'll throw some more money at the crappy airlines so the CEO's can get a raise.

as to why this lobbyist (Tobacco-------1996 checks on floor of House) has blood on his hands and should have been thrown out of the House Chamber the day he was passing out bribery checks to members of Congress.
He is not a representative he is a corrupt jerk.
And he should be reminded of this everyday by the MSM when he does a dog and pony question session---------

First question are you corrupt, have you been bought off --------remember this in 1996

They want to take away health care, food stamps, housing relief, and destroy the middle class so there is only the SUPER RICH AND THE SUPER POOR. They would have us all live in Trash bins..in trash heaps, dying in the streets, (remove hospitals) while they live in their rich little mansions on the hill above it. That's their idea of America...oh and of course everyone will be in the military to go fight and die in some stupid war...which they don't have to attend and get their hands dirty.


Frack them!
