Republicans are for "local control" except when they're not.

Because, you know, that average workers getting paid TOO MUCH is and getting too generous benefits are our country's biggest problems.........

Wow. Where did THAT come from?

Fingers-crossed

It always seems to be some kind of "conspiracy" with these people

Sometimes things are exactly what people say it is. Nothing more. Nothing less. Not many people seem to understand the principle of "Occam's Razor"

The Repubs are always so in favor of "local control"

Except when they're not.

Heaven forfend that business be forced to adopt policies that allow their employees some decent standard of living and dignity, right?

I know, right?

Nearly all of them argue for some form of Christian "Sharia Law" it seems

More debt ceiling/govt shutdown showdowns I'm sure

They seem to love them whenever a Democrat is in the WH, never mind that it's always been a losing idea for them (not to mention the public) but, hey, if they want to help us increase our margin of victory in the House, Senate, and WH in 2016.............

I'm sure that lots of people will be excited about Hillary and the possibility of a female POTUS

particularly since she came so close back in 2008. While I suppose that I would prefer a younger and slightly more progressive candidate, I would trust Hillary with the job for the next 8 years. Not sure how many people are going to be particularly enthused by another "Bush" in the WH after GWB, however- and that's assuming that the Tea Party will allow him to win the nomination (though at this point, who else credible have they really got?)

They are going to turn her confirmation hearing into a farce

Everybody grab your barf bags

He surely doesn't know anything about NK does he?



There.is.no.comparison.

But, hey, he wants to go to North Korea and Steven Seagal, Rudy Giuliani, and some other assorted right-wingers love them some Vladimir Putin, and some fundies adore the virulently anti-gay regime in Uganda. I say we get the Koch Bros. to chip in a few bucks and send them all off to their respective "utopias" so that they can leave the rest of us alone. Bon voyage!
