In reply to the discussion: STUNNER: House GOP Votes Down Own Bill To Avert Shutdown [View all]calimary
(81,608 posts)56. Welcome to DU, rladdi!
Good to have you with us! I really like this observation of yours: "the Republican terrorists who have high jacked this nation." (All I did was add an "s" to the word "terrorist".) I think this is IT. It's high time we call them what they ARE. They are domestic TERRORISTS. They have indeed hijacked our country, our government, our democracy. They're the ones who can't win on the issues so they have to like misrepresent, cheat, rig the game, artificially tilt the playing field. They are domestic terrorists. They love fear. They're steeped in it themselves and they want everybody else to be ignorant and fearful. BE AFRAID.
