Problem is - I think there definitely is reason to question, dread, and even fear, what the Repubs' idea of what "cleaning up their own mess that they made" might be:
1) Mess? Whaddya mean "mess"? There's no mess! Everything's just fine!
2) Mess? Well, yes, there are some messses we DO need to clean up. Like helping the poor. Like laws, initiatives, and proposals that benefit the "have-nots" and not the "haves" for a change. Don't forget those poor rich people! They need love, too!
3) Well, yes. Let's form a commission and discuss it. What's to be defined? By how? And by whom? We might need to set up a "research group" to investigate what kind of commission we're talking about, and we'd have to define and discuss THAT, too. We may even have to organize a four-day symposium on that, set up somewhere that you can go skiing!
It's just SO Damn Frustrating!!!
And, uh, again, thanks for bearing with me, pnwmom. Or maybe is that "suffering through me"?!
