We need to destroy the Republicans in the 2012 elections.
At both the state and federal level.

It will require more volunteers than we had in 2008. And that should be possible considering that Republicans are out to destroy anyone that is not rich.

1. we needed to destroy them in 1980. Instead, we've been compulsively complicit
...in our own destruction, assisting our sadistic "masters" every step of the way...

2. WE need to kick every one who does not believe that government is there to help PEOPLE to the curb.
This includes FAUX moderates and every stand for NOTHING 'Centrist'.

3. The trouble is that millions of Americans are deluded into believing they will one day be the rich.
The U.S. senate will be tough to even hold given the makeup of the seats that are in play. If other states are anything like Wisconsin was in 2010 things would have been much different if Democrats could have found it within themselves to show up and vote. It's really as simple as that as opposed to explaining things away with electoral fraud conspiracies.

A sign I saw in Madison:

4. If only we had real paper ballots
and voting equipment that is not made/owned by the GOP who we already know only wins via lying, cheating, and/or stealing.

5. They are doing a real good job, all by themselves
I'm not sure what we could do to help them, frankly. Except demonstrate some balls, competence, and integrity...

6. It is at the local and state level that we got slaughtered in 2010...
People often overlook the local and state races, but this is where the most damage was done.

Including party switchers (Dems that flipped to Republicans), we lost over 700 state legislative seats in November 2010. A complete bloodbath. All this anti-union legislation has sprung entirely from that.

7. We need and have needed for many years to destroy them altogether as a governing party.
I don't believe in the death penalty for people but chartered organizations are a horse of a different color.

9. Which are they again? Are they the guys with the D's or the R's by their names?
We destroyed them in 2008. It got us tax cuts for billionaires, tax hikes for the poor, slashed programs for the poor, record deficits as trillions were handed to the world's power elite, the continuation of the wars, an expansion of Patriot, Gitmo and torture and a suspention of the constitution, and our big win--

Our BIG WIN--

Was sticking a gun in poor people's faces and telling them that they would buy health insurance at any price the jackals demanded or their lazy asses would go to prison.
