many years. They say something daring, and despite it actually being true (unlike the daring, blatant lies of the GOP), people even from within their own party label the comment as "inappropriate."

For a change, the Dem's need to let go of political correctness, and just go on a full frontal assault against the party that wants to destroy the middle class. Too much is at stake, and people need to hear just how frightening the prospect of a new republican presidency would be.

Fact of the matter is, the GOP does want to put us in chains. They want the poor and middle class to be wage slaves working for corporations at the smallest wages possible, with no benefits or regulations. That's their dream.
