writes nitrixgli: "What exactly must Republicans do to run afoul of their voting bloc?

Let's tally up the scorecard:

- Unfunded tax breaks for the wealthy at the expense of taxpayers: Check.
- Corporate funded campaigns to disenfranchise and challenge legal voters: Check.
- Illegal war and subsequent occupation of sovereign nations abroad: Check.
- Unconstitutional domestic spying programs, torture, and illegal detention: Check.
- Massive expansion of government, debt, and deficits: Check.
- Repetition of the failed policies of previous Republican rulers: Check
- Working with corporations against the interests of the middle class and working poor: Check.
- Apologies and giveaways to the capitalists that nearly destroyed our economy: Check.
- Invasive social agenda that tramples on the freedoms and rights of American citizens: Check.
- Lack of substantive debate regarding their otherwise vague and dogmatic agenda: Check.
- Failure to adhere to the basic principles of Christianity by trampling on the poor and downtrodden: Check.
- Denial of basic health benefits to 9/11 first responders: Check.
- Complete and total lock-step obstructionism and tyranny by the minority: Check.

Go ahead, people - piddle away Democracy by returning the corporatist constitution killers and Republican crime organization to power.

I'm sure you'll never be on the losing side of their corporate agenda for America. I'm sure it will never be your son or daughter that gets murdered by their neo-conservative imperialistic pursuits. I'm sure you'll never have your job sent overseas by their unfair trade policies.

I'm sure you'll never be any of those things.

You got yours, so screw everyone else, right?

1. spot on, nitrixgli

When enough people voted for GW Bush in 2004 to make that stolen election less than blatantly obvious, I thought I was living in a country populated by a disproportionate percentage of imbeciles.

I fear that that this will be confirmed on November 2nd.
