15. There is only one way to ensure this version of the GOP implodes

and that is GET THE "EFF" OUT AND VOTE THE "EFFERS" OUT OF "EFFING" OFFICE

They've been on the ropes so many times. We had them in 2008 just begging for a knock-out punch, and what did we do? We lifted them up off the floor and extended a hand-up.

Instead of crushing them into the ground and sending folks like Limbaugh and Hannity to early retirement with their tails between their legs like a scalded dog, we surrendered control of the government to the crazy aunt that lives in the attic.

Not only that, we've gotten to a point where we may very well ask if we are "watching the implosion of the Democratic Party".

The crazy aunts have taken over everything from Dog Catcher, to School Board to the House and Senate, and are one election away from having complete and total control.

Can you imagine? Just look at the devastation they've been able to do just on the State level.

No, we are not "watching" the implosion of the Republican Party, BUT, we CAN help it implode.

and the way the current GOP is heading, and the absolute insane Ayn Randian dreams they have for the country...well. there's never been a party that "needs killing" like this one does.

Get out and VOTE!!!!

Today is election day all over the country. There are seats up for grabs that really matter. The people elected today will shape School Boards, Local Government Policies, Legislation and how we function as a society.

Hell, an argument could be made that today's vote is infinitely more important than the one next November.
