The worst thing the reps could do right now is look like fanged attack dogs. IMHO they are setting an above-it-all sort of tone that is working, albeit not perfectly.
100,000 dead shredded aborted babies last month, 100,000 dead shredded aborted babies this month, and likely 100,000 dead shredded aborted babies next month.
I am not taking 'talk', above-it-all tone or not, over results. The Republicans better do something about this slaughter.
