2. The answer is exactly what we took hostage last time we had House & Senate but not Presidency.

3. We are at a disadvantage because we believe in a functioning government.
As opposed to the Rethugs, who want Wall Street to run everything.

4. Don'tcha know that would make us just like them. We do not
do that sort of thing. (I hope you know I am
being tongue in cheek.)

I would give anything if they got spunky enough to
do something.

5. If we have a republican president in 2013 we'd better, RIGHT NOW,
plan a flawless campaign to win back the House and win a super-majority in the Senate. Ergo:
prezziedent Perry will have a difficult time.

6. Time to become a drug dealer. Why not join the criminals? It's that or die, because
they'll kill us.

7. If the repukes take over
they won't want a debt ceiling increase, they'll be happy to let the economy wither while government spending simply shrinks itself.

9. They have always been fond of them in the past. Shrink the pig demands it.
They see things a bit differently when they are in charge, deficits cease to matter for damn sure.

12. That's pretty much only when they want to fund a war
Right now, even the Rethugs are sick of the no-win wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. I doubt they'll have the stomach for another one for at least a decade.

10. If the Repubs take the WH and possibly the Senate,
Dems might as well phone it in cause they will be totally irrelevent.
