27. They will *not* win
Thu Nov 21, 2013, 10:07 AM
Nov 2013

(at least not in the long run) for 2 reasons:

1. Truth is on our side, and truth can only be delayed, not defeated.

2. Time is also on our side. The changing demographics of this country have already defeated the GOP. They are like a death row prisoner that has already been given the lethal injection, but still rails on about how he'll get revenge against his enemies. The deed is already done, reality will eventually catch up and overtake the illusion.

This is what they get for pussyfooting around with these hard liners. PeteSelman Nov 2013 #1
