"restructuring" the goddamn elitist senate full of economic royalists, but I'm afraid Agent Mike might not like it too much.

Everyone in America should be at a level of angry within two notches of the reaction to these fuckbags kicking your new born in the teeth with these Republiscum and not much happier with those that roll over and play dead when they even threaten to pout.

We don't "have the votes."
:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

Of course Bush never had the votes and he was able to pass anything and everything he wanted. Almost seems like the Democratic leadership work for the other side. :shrug: :shrug:
