We're being boiled to death, like the frog.

[Control-Z]

The boiling frog story states that a frog can be boiled alive if the water is heated slowly enough.

The financial crisis started a while ago, while most of us were somewhat comfortably living life. Some of us recognized, though, that things were not right, and then little by little, the information started to flow.

As bad as it seemed a few months ago, it was tepid compared to the boiling point we're rapidly approaching.

It's time to get out of the water - before it boils.

1. Yes, and IT'S TIME that our brothers and sisters in The South and some Rural Areas

FIGURE OUT that us democrats do NOT want to take away their guns NOR increase the frequency of abortions.

It's called "divide and conquer."

Those of us who are Christian do NOT want to see young girls and women seek out abortions. That's why the DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES which focus on education and family planning are the most Christ-like way to help them. You just can't legislate morality ... it is not what Jesus would have done.

With regard to rifles. We can work with those hunters who support semi-auto. There's a lot of mis-information out there and I can empathize with their position. As a person who is blessed with several shotguns and rifles bequeathed from my late father, I can say with veracity, this (and the majority of others) DEMOCRAT does not want to take away your guns.

People need to truly see "the forest through the trees" and vote DEMOCRATIC because all the GOP is going to provide you is "tax cuts for the wealthy" and "union busting." :thumbsdown:
