31. Their (the current GOP) actions is why they have to restrict voting, gerrymander districts, control

Fri Mar 9, 2012, 06:40 PM

the media in many ways, and rig voting machines because they are becoming
a smaller and smaller minority party all the time. Look who they have pissed
off:

Latinos
Gays
Women
students
working people
educated people
teachers
unions
environmentalists
African Americans

short list ......

Despite the many flaws w/ this first version of health care reform the republicans know that
once it goes into effect millions of people will get some benefits and the dems will get a
nice long term "bump up of support."

This is no longer the Party of Ike or Teddy Roosevelt or Margaret Chase Smith or even
Ronald Reagan these people are really un-American radicals who are betting that if
people are hurting enough that they will vote Obama out of office. Rep. John Boner
was choking on the job news today.
