I think more Democrats need to start speaking up and publically calling out how crazy and truly scary these right wing whackos are. I think they need to start giving speeches that aren't watered down for "political politeness." I want to hear them getting down deep and honest with the public about the cost of voting Republican, something like this:
"if you are voting for these Tea Party radicals you need to re-examine your priorities. Do you really want your children to grow up with such undisguised hatred in their hearts? For you, who call yourselves Christians, do you really think this is what Jesus would have wanted? Do you trust Republican extremists to protect your daughters' when they justify, excuse, and joke about rape? Do you expect them to protect your sons, when their first response to every international crisis is start a war? Ask yourselves is this is what our soldiers fought and died for? Ask yourselves do we want to go back and refight the Civil War, in which the Union triumphed over those who would have divided it? Do we want to refight the battles of the Civil Rights Movements, again and again, and again? Or should we move forward together into the future while learning from the mistakes of our past? They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Well that's what the tea party Republicans want to do is keep repeating the mistakes of our past. Well that's fine for them. Let them live in their own little fantasy bubbles where the Confederacy won, and Trickle Down economics solves every problem, but for those of us living in the real world let us acknowledge those ideas have been tried and failed every single time. The fact is the Republican party has let themselves be over run by dangerous, rabid, and unstable individuals, until they can wrestle back control, that is if they ever can, it is much safer to vote Democrat. We aren't perfect but we aren't insane either."
