Find extremists and tag them instead of really dealing with the issues.

Erica, the last time I checked, the Republicans don't have to deal with the issues of 'losing'. They can leave that to the Democrats.

I am curious about this idea EL....(nothing serious, just playing)....

What should we tag them with? 240 grains of Lead?
Or maybe tag them with a pipe (or like in some foreign countries, cane) brutally about the body?
Or maybe tag them with a Tatoo on the forehead that says "I am an ignorant extremist" or any other derogatory statement --- but Who decides the tag? If the Democrats are in power, I would think it would say, "I am a radical, right-wing, gun-toting, religious nut". If the Republicans are in power, then it might say " I am a radical, self-serving, dumba@@ coward"..........Who gets to decide? ?

Or maybe with a scarlet letter.............that would be the ticket right? That worked so well in previous times.

My favorite part was the 'earning better salaries.' Ol' Ted hasn't been off Manhattan island (save for his luscious "travelling more" overseas) in his lifetime. Ever hear the phrase, "eggs are cheaper in the country?" Guess not, Ted...

The biggest reason that Kerry lsot is because the sound majority of all Americans understood what was at stake.


Fortunately the right party won this election.
