24. This should not be the morning for pessimism

Sat Dec 2, 2017, 08:39 AM

Dec 2017

We need to keep the phone lines busy and the pressure on. We should not go down without a fight,that would be against what we stand for. What you have to realize is that not every Republican voter is a Fox bottom feeder. I think many Republicans will think twice before they touch that screen. We have an opportunity to turn the tide especially with Independents. The hardest thing will be separating religion from the Republican Party. We need to shine a light on their bullshit. Put a spotlight on their transgressions.This is the morning we should be celebrating the Flynn guilty plea. That would not have happened if we all had just said well there is nothing we can do about it. We kept the pressure on and we need to keep it on. Fight the good fight.
