...the republican party is not a government entity. It's more like a private club. They can do whatever they want, just like the democrats. Neither party seems to give a crappola what the people think.

Liberals are like a "Slinky". Totally useless, but somehow ya can't help but smile when you see one tumble down a flight of stairs!
