are doing it IN ORDER to wreck a country. I think they're planning to suck the place dry & sell it off for its scrap value.

published a book on language to use to marginalize and vilify Democrats. Luntz and Gingrich are a couple of scumbags.

Sometimes DUers turn on each other with such savagery it is clear they have forgotten that the GOP is the enemy, not fellow Dems.

I sincerely believe Newtie is finally teamed up with his equal. The frozen faced, Tiffany obsessed Calista must make life so miserable for the aging womanizer. He is roly poly, double chinned former (in his mind) "babe magnet". Calista has had so much plastic surgery, she must sleep with her eyes open!! Charming, well matched coule I think.

When I read those words, I could not help but further consider where the citizenry fits in with this picture. Change Molly Ivin's word "politicians" to 'citizens' and reread the message. While it is true that We The People have been polarized-that being polarized is a TREMENDOUS problem to our democracy, shouldn't it be up to us to fix that problem? If not us then who?

We're not enemies, just Americans who have huge differences of opinion on what's best for the country. The GOP/ Christian - Fascists want to take this county back to the Bronze age.

signal large groups of Americans as "enemies". but, in these cases.. it's not a good way to win in an election.
