I always knew the repukes would sell us out for a buck (our clean air, healthcare, safety...)

but I'm shocked at how easily they sold us out to the Soviet Union. Their beloved St Ronnie wouldn't have done this. No one with the last name Bush would've even done this. And what did they all get for this giveaway?

I'd rather have lost America in a shooting war to the Soviets, at least then I could've fought back.

That they've just given it away without a single shot being fired, destroys me (and gives Putin extra chuckles).

I hope I'll at least have a chance to fight before we're handed over and become a colony of mother russia

Wolverines!!!

1. But Saint Ronnie and the Bushes helped lay the groundwork.

By undermining trust in government, through deregulation, by literally having corporations write legislation, etc.

3. And by getting rid of the fairness doctrine which allowed the rise of hate talk radio, Fox, ...

... Newsman, and so on and now 25% of Americans believe that garbage.

2. It makes me physically sick.

When I take a moment to just reflect on what's happening right before our eyes, I almost can't believe it. That's probably why I try to focus on the details instead of the overall enormity. We are watching our Democracy die in slow motion, but only a few reporters and opinion-makers are actually framing it so people can see the big picture. It's bigger than just the individual scandals--it's everything.
