1. First thought was the song: "How do you solve a problem like Maria..." Only changing it to GOP....

Not sure how the song would go but that's what popped to mind given the title.

[MrScorpio]

2. You got me

I'm a huge Sound of Music fan

[We People]

9. That's EXACTLY the same reaction I first had!

That is hilarious!

The OP is also sadly true, however

15. FUCK, Is Everybodey Gay? n/t

[zbdent]

3. If I handled problems like the Republicans in Congress ...

I'd be accused of throwing a tantrum and refusing to work ...

Oh, you're saying that THEY are the problem you're trying to handle???

[MrScorpio]

4. They are the problem! nt

[Angry Dragon]

5. IQ test, mental health test, Gulags

6. The way you deal with any other bully

You whack them in the head with a 2x4 and tell 'em that's just to make sure they're listening, and if they piss you off, all Hell will rain down on them.

That's all that's ever worked.

Appeasement, triangulation, and soaring oratory have never worked, never will.

2x4s.

7. We know most of what they work so hard to protect

We just need to figure out all of it.

8. Vote and fucking keep voting. Our side created this nightmare when a lot of our voters sat on their

asses during the 2010 midterms.

11. +1,000

Vote them out until future generations don't remember their names. It's all they understand. If we don't keep our act together, they'll finish this country off and not bat an eyelash doing it.

[We People]

20. Damn right!!!

ALWAYS be able to say, "Yes, I VOTED this time; I NEVER MISS the opportunity to vote, even if the candidate isn't perfect."

To do otherwise is suicidal.

10. The NRA would say

MOAR GUNS!

[demosincebirth]

12. remind the people who the problem is -- over and over again and again

[jeff47]

13. You fix it by not sitting on your ass in off-year elections when you're "so disappointed" (nt)

[OldDem2012]

14. Do what the President is doing now....divide and conquer. nt.

[lonestarnot]

16. Suits where obvious gerrymandered districts should be a starter.

[LisaLynne]

18. I would love to see that happen.

It's so clearly an attempt to circumvent the will of the people. I know it's an old trick, but it is one that needs to go.

[lonestarnot]

19. It ilfuckinglegal to boot.

[krawhitham]

17. vote them out
