Republicans, fucking us since they became a party.

4. Ike warned us
JFK heeded the warning, as did RFK.

3. Well this wouldn't have happened if we had a superduperpoopermajority
that is never quite attainable...always just one step out of reach...
What fucking NEVER ceases to amaze me is...that republicans do EVERYTHING they want to and never even need a simple majority....why is that?

9. It all has to do with having
the "Reality Creation Machine," otherwise known as the MSM backing you up all the way.

6. We have forgotten how to fight.
I don't think we've known how to do that since LBJ left the scene.

Recommended.

7. I don't think we have forgotten
the elected democrats would throw down in a heartbeat if something came down the pike that would threaten THEIR existence...our existence just isn't important enough for them to fight for.

13. I'm not sure they've forgotten.
I'm leaning toward "too scared" or "unwilling."

I wish I knew why...
