Tomorrow, the Repubs will vote to kill the estate tax...
the rest of the world be damned. They have no fear of any consequences from the voters. They have been waiting to reward their wealthy friends with this little goodie and ain't no hurricane or natural disaster going to keep them from doing their business. They are spitting in the face of America if they carry through with this vote tomorrow...

7. These people have absolutely NO shame!
They should be sensitive to American grief right now, but they aren't. The only thing they're interested in is ramming their disgusting agenda through Congress.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Bush should get NOTHING accomplished in Congress. NOTHING!!! We should be filibustering every single freaking frankenstein monster he wants.

If our elected officials can't vote according to the wishes of the American people, then perhaps we should show up in the galleries of Congress en masse to remind them we're watching!

10. Better to pass shit now while everyone's looking elsewhere.
Deal with the stink after it's all been said and voted on.
