Christie's an asshole. Huckabee hates women. And in the meantime...

Real people are really suffering because of the repukes decision to cut off UI benefits to thousands of people who have no other income. That story seems to have dropped off the landscape. On Monday, Congress is back in session (why they took a break after just completing one is a mystery, at least to me). Let's remind them that this is an election year, that most Americans favor extending UI and that under the previous President, there were five (5) extensions with nary a peep. Call, write, email, do whatever it takes, but let's make sure this gets done and gets done soon. Stimulate the damned economy.

at all. The only thing they love is power. Money is the way to keep power, so they cater to the rich. They simply don't give a rat's ass what happens to people who aren't donating to their campaigns.

Republicans are like tapeworms in that 90%+ of their "metabolism" is dedicated to reproduction (the rest is probably clerical for processing cash). Beyond getting reelected, they don't do anything.
