The bastard, Representative Steve Scalise, now the Republican Party’s whip, is supported by bonehead Speaker John Boehner even though by admission Scalise acknowledges he spoke at a gathering that sympathized with the KKK, American Nazis, other extremists and white supremist groups.  Scalise incredulously claims not to have known the ideological base of the gathering in front of whom he gave the speech. Believe that lie and he will, I can assure, tell you another.  The group was a more palatably named the “European-American Unity and Rights Organization” founded by David Duke, the former grand wizard of the KKK.  Ground beef is still a hamburger even when it is dressed up with condiments and a tomato.
This is the nature of the power the electorate handed to the Repuglican Party in both the House and the Senate.  2015 could be one of the most discordant, Republican repulsive, and contentious years yet for our nation as Republicrat numbers increased. This is what happens when the liberal, progressive and Democratic Party base do not vote.  Gaaahead keep not voting and enjoy the results of true mean, brutal, murderous and cruel oligarchic fascism, the base into which the Republican Party has morphed.  
As the great Betty Davis said "Hold onto your hats. It's going to be a bumpy ride!"

GET OUT THE GD PROGRESSIVE VOTE IN 2016.  YOU WANT TO ERADICATE ALL THE SOCIAL SAFETY NETS, SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, MEDICAID, THE ACA AND ALL OUR REGULATORY AGENCIES THAT HELP PROTECT US THROUGH CLIMATE CHANGE DISASTERS AS WELL AS KEEP AN EYE ON NEFARIOUS CEO POLLUTERS, FIND CURES FOR DISEASE AND, OH YES, PROTECT US AGAINST THE BANKS THAT BROUGHT YOU THE GREAT RECESSION? YOU WANT TO KEEP OUR NATION CONSUMING POISONOUS FOOD, DRINKING OIL SOAKED TOXIC WASTE WATER THAT KILLS US AND ALL LIVING THINGS THAT SUPPORT LIFE?  YOU WANT TO KEEP US IN ETERNAL WAR? IF SO BY ALL MEANS DO NOT VOTE AND HAND THE REPUBLICANS THE ELECTION.  YOU WILL GET ALL OF THAT AND MORE. GET OUT THE PROGRESSIVE, LIBERAL, MODERATE AND DEMOCRATIC VOTE OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES OF SICKENING REPUBLICAN RULE. I CAN ASSURE YOU IT WILL BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH!
