“Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I’m a dog chasing cars. I wouldn’t know what to do with one if I caught it! You know, I just do things.” -Joker, The Dark Knight

Wouldn’t it be nice if this ‘to-do’ list got viral, so people understood exactly what they were going to get with a vote for this party?

Why isn’t it out there? Why don’t people understand that this is not a drill? The house is on fire!!! The things we enjoy, in many instances, under this administration are going to be taken away because we don’t care enough to show up and say ‘no’ to this plan.

We get all that we deserve.

Indeed. They also want to repeal the entire 20th century.

Not to worry, they have a replacement plan: the 19th century.

And who the fuck is he kidding anyway? The absolute very first thing they will do is force Obama to veto a full repeal of the ACA. It’s fucking absurd that anyone could stand within 20 feet of this plutocrat prick and not vomit from listening to him spin his lies and then attack him for being so dishonest.

They won’t have the votes to stop a filibuster. I don’t think even Mitch is crazy enough to change the rules on regular legislation - he has to know that there is a good chance they flip back in 2016.

Precisely. It will be a requirement to appease the Teabaggers straight away. It will very likely be the first thing they do.

I also want to pass some stuff and one of the things I think would help the country would be to bring all that American profit home

Here we go. Republican wish list…

  1. Corporate Tax Repatriation Holiday (give away)
  2. Repeal the individual mandate (insurance rates increase)
  3. Impeach the blah socialist usurper
  4. Audit the Fed
  5. Return to the gold standard
  6. Mandatory gun ownership

What did I miss?

That mandatory 40 hour work week is clever way of saying they want corporations to be able to drop employee benefits.

“But baby, I’m a moderate Republican. Trust me!”

It’s exasperating enough that idiot indies fall for it election after election, only to be shocked, appalled and surprised that the moderate they dated is an abusive prick after the marriage, but they’re idiots, so you can’t expect better of them.

No, it’s the way a number of actual Democrats–and, of course, our liberal MSM–fall for it time and again that makes me want to slap the crap out of some crap-filled heads.

I got my sticker, I did whats best for my country and voted a straight democratic ballot. My polling location had a steady stream of voters coming and going, and there’s been a steady rain since early this morning.

I was one of 4 or 5 people at my voting place, but small town, so…

I voted straight Dem too, though I did vote for one independent whose name was Greg Orman. :smile:

If Mitch was going to catch a car, it would have to be one already on blocks.
