Republicans strip power from Dem who shocked with red state upset

[GiqueCee]

11. You got THAT right...

... but then, Republicans have ALWAYS hated democracy, and never passed up a chance to run roughshod over the Constitutional rights of anyone with the temerity to disagree with them.
Who can forget the failed attempt of Republicans to overthrow FDR back in '33 with "The Business Plot", when they tried to recruit retired Marine Major General, Smedley Butler, to organize the wetwork for them? He listened to their proposal, then dropped a dime on 'em, and condemned them all in a HUAC committee, then called the McCormack-Dickstein Committee. Of course, nothing happened; the good old boy network circled the wagons and they got away scot free. Dubya's grandpappy, Prescott Bush, was reputed to be one of those fascist assholes. He went on to get into a bit of a bind during WWII for laundering money for the Nazis. He got bailed out then, too.

Moral of the story: Believing that there's any such thing as an honest Republican is just as delusional as believing in unicorns.
