I read these as, "Sure, the Dems are screwing you over, but the Repugs will screw you over twice as bad, so be happy!" To me, that just seems like such a ridiculous position to take. Why do we have to take abuse from either party? Why should we put up with an abusive spouse just because the neighbor has one that is worse?

We need a new direction, and we won't get it as long as we remain willing to put up with the direction we are headed. We are heading toward a cliff. And I don't give a rat's ass if we go over the cliff at ten miles an hour instead of ninety (although, it is even difficult to argue that we are slowing down).

I say, turn the damn bus. It truly doesn't matter much which uniform the bus driver is wearing when they are all chanting "Drill, baby, drill" and "War, baby, war" and "Cut, baby, cut" and "Steal, baby, steal" with their foot on the accelerator.
