And rep Issa says impeachement is not on the table, Boehner says compromise will be welcomed. Do these guys get it? thier playing with despicable low lives that will step over thier dead grandmother to get your vote. I think the GOP, if not responsive to the demands of the people who put them thier come January 1st will have hell to pay. What part of NO COMPROMISE don’t they understand?

Got mine in the mail today, pushing the Libertarian candidate Gregory Gilman running a very distant third behind the neck and neck race of Scott Tipton (R) and John-Boy Salazar (d) in western Colorado. What a sleezy campaign ploy. John-Boy just sits back and says “Who Me? I got nuttin’ to do with this sleeze move” I am so ready for him to return to his poor ag roots that he so eloquently constantly reminds us of. Grrrrrrrrrr!

Democrats cannot win on their own.
They have to lie, cheat and steal every election.
If you’re a Democrat you’re either an idiot or a crook.
No compromise with scum.

Their desperation is showing. Also showing is that they’ll do anything to hold on to power.
