The republic is dead.

That actually happened quite a while back. What seems to be catching peoples interest now is the funeral.

This really is a brazen assault on freedom. This strikes at the heart of representative government because people can't make informed choices come election time with this law. Elections will become a farce.

What to do now? Move? Do we really want to live in a country where we can't criticize the government before an election? Seriously, if you woke up today in China or Cuba, would you stay, or would you take an inner tube to Miami?

What makes me saddest is the reaction of what are supposedly the strongest freest people on Earth. Where are the demonstrations? Where is the unrest that must accompany such assaults on the liberty we supposedly hold so dearly? Where is the volcanic political reaction that puts every last one of these tyrants out of a job come election time?

People are defined by their actions. Sitting around and of all things voting again for the people who did this to us shows by example that we aren't any better than the broken people of other nations I used to think we were better than.

People had a fit when Clinton cheated on his wife at work and lied about it. That's nothing compared to this! Where is the impeachment?! Apparently Americans only care about soap opera antics, the type of thing seen in tabloids. This is just sad and pathetic.

Amazing how many are dancing on the grave, and the political factions they belong to.

"That actually happened quite a while back. What seems to be catching peoples interest now is the funeral." You are, friend, unfortunately correct.
