Oh, my God, these people are making a power grab the likes of which I have never seen in my life.

6. Interesting how they have referred twice to winning the election...

"The Dems are still preoccupied with the election of last fall...which we won."

Then, "when a president is elected, as he was both in 200 and 2004...."

[SnoopDog]

9. Why is it so obvious to us...

Republicans are such fuck-ups...

These people will destroy America.

19. met Lindsay Graham today

He came to my school to hype Social Security and gave a pretty decent speech about it. As he was shaking hands and leaving, I walked up to him and said that I did not support the "so-called nuclear option." He looked kinda flustered and said, "Let's hope it doesn't come to that." Take from that what you will....

[Jo March]
