The rethugs are scrambling like rats as they find the dems fighting back at them

on all levels. They are not accustomed to that kind of opposition that keeps them right on the edge of the cliff. Rmoney is so confused he is about to self destruct. Too many things are throwing him off script. I love it.

Even though I was a big kid I let myself be picked on and didn't fight back. I was kind of timid at about 8 or 9. One day a bunch of kids were teasing me and chasing me around the school yard. I eventually got tired and got pissed. I turned on them, picked out the biggest one and tackled him. I then proceeded to grind his face into the grass.

Amazing the effect that had. Not one of his friends jumped in to save him and no one messed with me after that. The kid I tackled became one of my good friends.

It's frustrating to watch Democrats run from the Republicans when you know they could fight back. Let's hope we see more of that.

Romney will continue to be a douchebag every day, continue to lie, continue to take credit for the good things and deflect any of the bad things. It's called solidifying his base. Teapartiers will embrace him. Anti-Mormon evangelicals will embrace him. Every day this bullshit builds and builds and unifies the rightwing pundits and their corporate money backers.

He's not about to self destruct, this kind of politics makes him stronger because his support gets stronger.

The Congressional GOP will not alter their ways one iota. They'll dig in. And many of them will get voted out because of it.

We have a whole lot of hard work ahead of us.

The Repukes are running around like a decapitated chicken. And as someone once said, I would not want to play poker against the POTUS, especially now that he seems to have his bearings back about who the enemy truly is.

the repukes fight dirty, with outrageous lies and distortions, while all the Dems have to do is point out the TRUTH!

Rethugs are used to getting their own way by extorting, blackmailing, and bludgeoning Democrats into doing their bidding. Now that Dems are standing up to those bullies, the repukes can't stand it and have shown themselves to be the pissant cowards they really are behind the blustery, macho facade.
