When you begin to think that maybe, just maybe, Republicans in Washington will get a clue and play nice, I'd like you to refer back to the email below, which was posted by Keith Olbermann...and a thousand and one other websites. If you begin to doubt that Republicans are FAR more beholden to their donor base than those who elected them...again, refer to the email
When you start thinking that this is much ado about nothing and that Republicans really do care about the American Sheeple and the American working class (i.e, the people who actually make things for a living), I'd like you to focus on the following: "Republicans should stand firm and take their first shot against organized labor".
For Republicans, it never has been, and never will be, about doing what's best for America. If it was, they wouldn't be giving voice to their indefensible abject hatred of the American Labor movement. And don't be giving me the "Sure, but this was just something sent out by low-level staffers" crap. They were simply the maroons stupid enough to put their feelings into an email that happened to make it's way around da Interweb at the speed of thought.
In this case actions speak every bit as loud as words.
May these fools roast in the Hell they so richly deserve. They would rather wallow in the suffering of middle-class America to score political points than do what they were put in Washington to do. (&^% 'em all...every last one.
