1. Keep it up Howard, we need this kind of reality check.
We need him cuttng through the fog of teabaggerisms and idiot rantings and phony grassroots nonsense of the repug party.

2. No more mandates?
Cut in the cadillac tax?

Nah, they'd probably mandate something else instead, and only cut the cadiallac tax on the highest costing plans.

6. Right now the issue isn't just policy. It's GUTS.



Our party absolutely has no taste for the jugular. We think political fisticuffs was supposed to be in the singular:

FISTICUFF.

As in, "I gave the Republicans - a - fisticuff. Now back to the positive thinking seminars, the smile buttons, the whistling in the graveyard while the GOP punches our lights out as usual and wins the election by swiftboating us and beating us up while we do nothing."

Now. Isn't THAT a winning strategy???

10. A couple of years ago I filed for permanent mail-in voter status...
...because I wanted to eliminate any possible chance of my missing an election. It's a piece of cake...I fill it in, put on the stamps, set it out with the daily mail, and my duty as a patriotic American is done.

:patriot:

11. Maybe not...
but how long after the election are we going to be sitting around like overworked neglected hounds waiting for someone to throw us a fucking bone? We have been, are being, and will be taken for GRANTED! And it is REALLY pissing some people off! If it were not for the fear of having the criminals back in charge I would not even consider the effort of going to the polls let alone volunteering for these fake ass democrats.

12. Name one thing that you could hope for from the Republicans if they should win
Maybe they'll move the "Ground Zero Mosque" far enough away even for Howard.


Besides that.... he's right on the money.
