29. It's the Lesser of Two Evils

If the Dems do not do this, then we continue to be a punching bag for the Repugs.

Is it better to be punching bags? Turn the other cheek? Get serious. All you get is bloody.

Until the Dems regain control of Congress and keep the Presidency, normalcy will not return to politics. It may never return to the Repugs, but until they are neutralized, the nation can't move forward.

Other or better ideas are certainly welcome.
