Day 158:

Republican: Someone who uses the government to help them up the ladder of life, only to burn the ladder down once they are on top

Seriously what is it about all these republicans in office, all of whom have benefited greatly from government, then turning around and dismantling those same social safety nets that benefited them so greatly?  There is something broken in the minds of these people, the big money donations, and hanging out with the Ayn Rand crowd has warped their tiny little minds.  They have a bad case of the cognitive dissonance. They are literally willing to kill millions of Americans just so the rich can get richer.  This is not a government it is class warfare, and you and me and all the other non-billionaires are loosing.  We must resist and take back our government, one election at a time.
