Muck It Out!

If you are too lazy to muck out the barn, don’t complain about the shit!  Most of the states in which Roe v. Wade, birth control, labor unions, Medicaid, the minimum wage, public education and the jobs of middle class workers are facing the greatest peril are controlled by right wing Republicans who gained power during mid-term elections.  It was also during the last mid-term elections that the lunatic right gained control of the House of Representatives.  The result was a government shutdown, a blow to the full faith and credit of the United States, and grid lock.  Now, instead of doing anything constructive, the Republican Representatives in the House while away their time in dangerous but futile attempts to destroy to the Affordable Care Act, Medicare, Unemployment Insurance, Roe v. Wade, and the graduated income tax.  For some reason the Republicans cannot seem to find the funds to repair or improve our infrastructure, or to increase the number of doctors at VA hospitals, or to provide the security for our embassies and consulates; yet they are squandering vast sums of money on witch hunts designed to justify their cries for the impeachment of President Obama.  If Democrats and independents do not turnout for the upcoming mid-term elections, the Republicans will gain control of the Senate, thereby making it possible for them to impeach and convict a duly elected President on grounds that are spurious at best.  This is no idle threat!  The right wing is too vicious and stupid to think about the precedent they would set or how it might bite them in the future.

In almost all respects, the Republicans are proving to be far too dangerous and destructive.  They are out of touch with this century and the needs of the majority of our citizens.  The only way they can win is if their efforts to suppress the vote and your laziness keep you from voting.  Jump through whatever hoops you have to jump through to get registered.  Fight for your rights as a citizen.  November 4, 2014 is the date of the election.  Mark that date on your calendar, and vote to remove the toxic, right wing crap that threatens that great engine of prosperity we call the “middle class.”
