Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA) took to the floor of the House today to explain the “Republican Rapture,” where oil companies and insurance executives get “raptured” and students and the poor get placed in “political purgatory.”

1. Markey is a champion!

That was just great!

2. Hope that flicked some people where they'd FEEL it...

Just a little.

OK, a LOT.

3. Markey is spot on. Show and tell works for me.

4. Very good but way too polite.

Grandma and Grandpa , junior wanting a Pell Grant, and Medicare can all go to Hell not Purgatory as deemed by the Republican budget.
