They are seething bags of rage and hatred, hiding behind their version of "Christianity." They despise blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Jews, gays, Democrats, and many, many other groups of people whom they suspect of taking away what is rightfully theirs.

You are perfectly right, my dear kpete. They are dinosaurs. (edited to add: apologies to dinosaurs.)

elected but that was during an economic meltdown with a very unpopular Republican incumbent(Bush)....Look how president Obama was treated later. I fear losing in 20...we would lose the progressive movement for at least a generation...maybe a woman VP would be safer.
