23. This is the kind of Crap...

... we are in for as a nation if we let the republicrats maintain or get any further control over what they already do now.
Centrists, liberals and progressives need to bust ass to stop this kind of political gerrymandering.
That paper needs to be painted as an reight-wing opinion outlet and not a news outlet. If enough readers can be made to see the turn their paper is taking, perhaps a reduction in circulation will urge the new owner to re-think his obviously flawed viewpoint.

The reight has been chipping away at things like this for decades. Owners like Rupert Murdock have been allowed to contol entire markets without opposition. When owners of franchises like Chick-Fil-A and Papa Johns are able to reduce worker hours or lay off workers citing Obama's election or due to ACA provisions that aren't even implemented yet and are allowed to get away with it, we are allowing the furthering of the republicrat agenda. We cannot allow this.

As the President says, the key to the future is education. How do we educate the American populace to the reall *affect* of republicrat policies? How do we convince the red voters that the policies of their candidates are NOT in their best interests? If the republicrats are allowed to *come back* in 2014, do you think they will hesitates one little bit on building on the atrocities they have managed to get through already? Don't you believe it! We need to repeal as much of that crap as we can so they don't have as much to build on.
