Party Policy? Get Over It
It sure seems that way.

Ever since 2000 when Gore and the people were ripped off, the party heads said: Get Over It.

The election theft isn't even talked about except by a few lefties. There is no policy to guarantee the votes get counted, and no policy to get rid of electronic voting machines.

The last time there was ever a statement about the voting fiasco, all I can remember was them telling us: Get Over It.

1. Well, Justice Scalia says: "Get over it!" too.
I guess we can extend that to Enron, 911, Iraq, Katrina, The Downing Street Memos, Plamegate, and Iran. We just need to "get over it".

Let byegones be byegones, bury the hatchet, smoke the peacepipe, all's well that ends well, turn the other cheek, it's water over the dam, no use crying over spilt milk, etc. etc.

2. I have resisted the idea that the Dem's are a sellout
But the more i think about it, the more sense it makes.

3. Rich men in the party actually got those big tax cuts
so one might assume they're less than enthusiastic about getting back into power and being compelled to overturn them for the health of the country.

The great thing about being out of power is that you get to sit back and watch the other guys screw up. There is no responsibility, no accountability, just check in every day, do your fundraising for your reelection campaign, and watch the portfolio fatten and the pension accrue.

That's why we need to get some of them the hell out of office. Even pubbies aren't as bad, what you see is what you get. Being stabbed in the back by conservatives with a "D" after their names is even worse than an assault by pubbies.

I hope we can do it during the primaries.

If you love the government and what it's doing, vote for the incumbent. If you hate what your government is doing, VOTE THEM OUT!
