"Second Amendment Solutions": Why Everyone MUST Vote

America is concluding the first election in history where the winners could be a Republican Party dominated by goons who beat up political opponents at campaign events, handcuff reporters at public meetings, shout down members of Congress while pointing guns at them at town meetings, dress up like the Nazi Waffen SS as a Republican candidate for Congress regularly does, and threaten to wallpaper the White House with subpoenas and restore a new age of McCarthyism if they win control of the Congress.

I am not referring to isolated right wing bloggers or even right wing talk show hosts whose attacks lead to death threats and criminal attacks against patriotic Americans they publicly demean.

I am referring to Republican candidates for high office on the ballot today, would-be Republican committee chairmen in a Republican Congress, and Republican leaders who foment the politics of hate and kowtow to rightist elements who are far outside the mainstream of American tradition.

In a new Washington Post ABC poll, if the election were decided by registered voters, the Democrats would win by substantial margin of 49-44%. The notion that America is turning to the right is a fraud perpetrated by the right, pushed by Republicans, repeated like parrots by the mainstream media. If everybody votes, Democrats win.

That is real the fact. Anything else is the big lie, no matter how often it is repeated by every pundit.
