There is nothing left for us to do. No help in government anymore or at least no way for anyone who does want to help to help. It is going to go down fairly quickly I think but since this state sees nothing but good republicans and if it hears about democrats it is always bad. I see a push to elect moderate republicans but it did not work in the primaries so we have fewer of the few we had. It is going to be hell with no way out except to raise hell. <---this is something I look forward to, it is WAY past time

I wonder what the breaking point will be. Any thoughts? Sinking education does not seem to bring out enough interest, hurting the poor makes everyone go to God after all he only gives you what you can deal with, losing business just pisses off the right and makes them get worse.
