1. Okay, everyone repeat after me; We can trust the Democratic

leadership to do what is right for America.

Repeat that 1000 times or until you beleive it, whichever comes first.

Thank God nobody has proposed putting a vote to eliminate the Bill of Rights in front of these people.

Not yet, at least.

Or at least not directly.
