However, you don't appear to have a plan for how to "drive a stake through the heart." How would you suggest doing that in a nation where everyone has the right to vote?

Rants don't solve problems, and yours just says what many of us have been saying for many years about the Calvinistic principles of the Republican Party.

So, Thom, let's hear how you would actually accomplish what you propose. I'd love to hear your plans.
