Wonder how difficult or impossible they'd find it to do something if we decided to vote with lead and brass this fall?

I agree 100%. If the RATS are gonna get away with this, why should we let them have an unfair advantage? Let's form our own organizations and have at it. I'm in for $100 'caused I'm pissed!!

Your "brass and lead" comment is duly noted. This is surely coming. The RATS have gone waaaay over the top. They are doing (have been doing) damage to this country that will take several lifetimes to correct. Might as well do it the quick way.

Is is as obvious to the general population as it is to us? It's like an alternative news universe we are living in.
