That rOffMyChest exists ! Phew . I feel better . <| sep |> You know , its really fun to think that . it is . In fact , we ' ve been thinking that since W . Bush . I ' ve heard nothing but , oh the repubs are basically dead at this point for 12 years . You know what ? Its been anything but . Like it or not , these fuckers play to win and are winning . The won the important small races , and rewrote the rule book to all but ensure they win I ' m talking about district lines . In fact , the republican hangover of 2008 only lasted 2 years , before they came right back and won the house at the critical moment of the 2010 census and have been there ever since . Like it or not , they do represent a large portion of the country which is ok and they are here to stay . Its just that their tactics and their ethics party over country win at all costs really seem to hurt us all .
