10. On their timidity to impeach? Good. They need to do the will of the people
and put the constitution and the country first, before their party.

Tough love, people, tough love!

31. Yes. Linkin Park
Along with G&R, Hole, and Metallica.

At least when they yell, there is entertainment.

Listening to Randi can make your head explode and you have nothing to show for it.

15. She wasn't bashing them. She called them "wimps" because
they are doing NOTHING to impose the will of the People.

Sometimes a slap on the ass is the only viable option. Donkeys get stubborn.

28. The government and the MSM repeat
ideas they want to be true, over and over again. That makes them stick in the collective mind and become as good as true.

Some people would put more time, care, and concern into buying a car or a washing machine than they would put into demanding quality and service from politicians, regardless of the party.

As was said, critique is not bashing. We have very serious, immediate issues that need to be addressed. Are they being addressed in a timely and appropriate manner? This is not a party issue, nor is it supposed to be cult of personality and identification. Treat your politics as seriously as you would when buying any major item, (house, car, etc.) and demand the same kind of quality and attention in the process.

We pay these "representatives" well! Well, so do the corporations. In fact, they pay them a LOT more than we do.

33. Democrats need to be held accountable too--this aint a high school football game
we're not just rooting for those wearing our jersey to win, we are rooting for ideas to win that will save lives and make our lives better.

The fartknockers and staffers in DC seem to forget that all the time, or rather the idea seems to have never entered their minds in the first place.
