I have never been more disgusted with rethugs
Granted, they've always been about helping the rich get richer, and screwing the poor. But never has their unabashed greed been more blatant than now. The teabaggers are so hell-bent on refusing any modest tax increases for the ultra-rich, they're prepared to throw the entire world economy into chaos to prove their point. They are practically holding a knife to the throats of America's poor and elderly. Better that some elderly couple should die than have some billionaire pay a few more taxes.

4. Absolutely love vintage political cartoons
You could dig up a lot of the Tammany Hall/Boss Tweed cartoons, they're still pretty damned relevant.

5. Eisenhower and the other
traditional Republicans(you know, the SANE ONES) must be rolling in their graves.

The Republicrat party is just....horrid. There's no words to describe the fetid pool of vile contempt that seeps from their mouths toward the common people.

If you aren't rich, you don't matter.

What's worse is that many Dems have been corrupted by special interests themselves. There's no party for Americans that's about the people. It's all about the rich and how they can work together to run America like a corporation - by gouging it's loyal workers.

That's why in every crisis, manufactured or not, social programs are always first on the chopping block.

Stand strong, true Americans. You'll beat these idiots - the Republicrats can't stand forever. Soon they will be faced with a tidal wave of critics and protests - popular movements will overthrow these liars and return America to the people, how it should be.

8. Plus they LOVE to spend spend spend.
Proof? American History.

It makes their rich friends richer. It baffles me that people seem to always forget this every time the Republicans lose the WH.

9. And for some reason, all of that makes them impossible to fight.
They should have been laughed out of existence a year ago.

11. Where were they during the Bush II years?
The deficit is only as large as it is under President Obama because he refused to hide war costs like W did for 7 years, and yet all of a sudden there's this right wing, borderline fascist movement incredibly concerned with spending and debt and the wealthy. They are about 30 years and 3 Republican Administrations too damn late. Who am I kidding, if you turn them around you will see the long arms of Big Corporate up all their asses.
