26. I don't want that....

Sat Nov 10, 2012, 02:00 PM

Nov 2012

I want the Repugnant Party to split into two. Fundies vs. Tea Party. Strict Bible Thumpers vs. Greed. Of course there is some cross-over.

And don't forget, if you add up all the voted for the 435 Congressional seats....the Dems won by 1/2 million. Gerrymandering has kept repugs in Congress.

Let the repugnants fight each other to death.

Everyone at DU should be writing their Republican Senators and Congresspeople and VEHEMENTLY DEMAND THAT THEY TAX THE RICH!!!! AND TO WORK WITH THE PRESIDENT. SEND SNAIL MAIL TO THEIR HOME STATE OFFICES....NOT DC, since it takes too long for it to get their. Send them emails to their DC offices and phone them in DC as well.

WE HAVE TO SCREAM THIS AT THE REPUGNANTS. If we don't address this frail economic situation, it is going to get much worse. Do those 3 things every other day. Or one of them each day. That is not much to ask, is it?
