6. Then why didn't she just say so instead of veering off into senseless gobbledygook?

"What would you do if you were a constituent when you have one crappy representative who isn't representing their interests, and you have thousands of friends who also despise him. The answer, you use constituent rules Here's how it works. When half of your friends, one half of their thousands of friends, work to defeat the crappy representative, and then the other half of their thousands of friends also work to defeat the crappy representative. There's no division here because we're indivisible."

In my view today, he deserves it by just being a Republican Congressman. But I haven't always felt this way. Here's why I do today.

By their actions since 2008, the GOP and the big money behind them have shown that they are out to subjugate the average person -- that includes anyone who isn't among the 1% or those who loyally do their bidding. They are out to squash the little people, some deliberately and the rest because they are either so detached from and, therefore, ignorant of the human consequences of their ideological crusade or they are just plain greedy and don't give a damn.

We should all be making these kinds of challenges to GOP/big money goons at every public opportunity. We need to shame them mercilessly.

That's how I feel today. I'm in good shape financially, but I worry about others and especially my kids -- not to mention Earth itself. Cut them no slack!
