22. I think there are a lot of non-Tea Party Republicans

that are starting to listen and learn.

There are active military and veterans who are sick of illegal wars, hundreds of billions spent on the latest and greatest military equipment, while military families are having to get food stamps and caring for vets at the VA means making an appointment 6 months in advance.

There are Republicans who are fed up with the anti-education, anti-contraception, pro-birth movement.

The are Republicans who are starting to see that the war on drugs has been a phenomenally expensive failure with the only winners being the private prison industry.

There are older Republicans who have taken huge hits to their retirement savings, while the Wall Street executives that caused those losses are sipping $1000 champagne on their yachts. They hear about "reforms" to Medicare and Social Security that mean money out of their almost empty pockets.

There are Republicans like Louis Lang, who thought Obamacare was horrible, until he started going blind.

There are Christian Republicans that are tired of their religion being used as an excuse to do some very un-Christian things.

The Democratic Party has always been a party of inclusion. We need to graciously invite these people to come over and see that the grass will be greener for EVERYBODY on our side.
