18. There is a solution: Criminalize the party using existing RICO statutes
Mon May 7, 2012, 11:28 AM
May 2012

I keep sounding like a broken record, but we are bitching and moaning ad nauseum. We NEED to take more proactive measures, first by suing in federal court using existing RICO statutes and the plethora of evidence we have that proves that GOP policies are destructive to citizens, to people around the world, to the environment, and finally, to the legacy we leave our children.

Let me be clear: I am a socialist, as most of us here, but am a democrat SOLELY because the republican Party needs to be stopped. And to that end, I've identified the republican Party as the ROOT CAUSE of ALL the crap that is disseminated around the globe. American "exceptionalism" is a bagger reference, and mandates we exclude all non-citizens. Other facets fall by the wayside.

Without a republican party, the Democratic Party would be joined by many other progressive minded parties ensuring a rich and civil debate on issues, and not concentrate on trying to stop illegal and destructive policies that is part and parcel of the current GOP.

Destroy the GOP...NOW!!@
