As it is clear enough that Republicans and their media propaganda wing, or is it Fox News and their political wing, have concluded that Ebola is a gift from God, political Mana from heaven, leading them to the holy land of Congressional control and Obama impeachment, what happens when the science catches up to the fear just before Election Day?
How much longer until the voting folks realize that it is not Ebola that is scaring them, it is this one incesteous Union of Idiots and Fear Mongers?
That is right, folks, the freaky Republican Party wants to frighten you to death even as a well studied and well known micro-organism does not, will not and can not.
Unless you are planning to stand in the way of the projectile vomit of or swim in the bodily fluids of a symptomatic Ebola victim, not a chance, so will you folks take out your anger at the mongers at the ballot box?
Has the fear mongering peaked too soon, though?
As days and days pass towards Election Day, and no new cases emerge and the same pattern on control takes hold in America as it did in Nigeria, Uganda, Senegal and others.....will the GOP
propaganda machine be able to blame the lying and science denial on anyone but themselves?
If the unlikely voting folks do not realize all this and do not take this golden opportunity to convert the false fear the GOP falsely manufactured against the scientific facts, into getting mad, getting real angry, I mean really angry, and spend a day at the polling booth....then the folks get what they deserve, a Congress of fear mongers and liars and charlatans and anti-science idiots and hucksters.
Not to mention, racists.
Folks, if that happens, then YOU did build that.
It was always "Yes, WE can", not "Yes, I, Obama with my black magic juju sticks, can".

Republican cuts kill.
Republicans have shut down the government, forced sequesters, defunded vital government public health programs, putting the American public in harm's way, all to save money for superwealthy donors and corporations who are simply sitting on vast amounts of money, rather than hiring and raising wages for regular workers.
Every Dem needs to ask their opponents if they believe in 'small government' and 'low taxes', and 'reduced government spending', and then tie that albatross around the Republican's neck when they say yes. The entire party is always looking to make life more dangerous and shorter for regular Americans in the name of making the rich ever richer.
