When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for the people to disband the political bands that have connected them to another.....

Shareen Miller, a personal care assistant and a member of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local Number 5 in Falls Church, Virginia, offered testimony about the need for wealth redistribution to fund her pension. "I make $12 an hour and receive no healthcare benefits, retirement benefits, sick time or vacation," the SEIU union member said.

White-hot anger. I don't have a pension either, just a meager 401K that I'm supposed to surrender...so YOU can have a pension. FY Democrat Party.

I forgot CO (Salazar’s old seat), so there are 5 opportunities to pick up seats to rein in a lame duck session.

...Just run this ad in every market. The election would not be close.

Agree !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be aware they’re smart enough to use the “one-off method”: they won’t seize your 401k outright, they’ll do something else which, by getting you wrapped up in explaining the difference, has the same net effect.

The Left has learned to confound the Right this way, rendering us impotent by getting tongue tied trying to explain why 2+2 does not equal 5 (even for large values of 2) while our enemies march ahead proclaiming the virtues of the new math.

It would be awesome to have all 4 of those seats become GOP seats and to shut down the lame duck session.

I don’t think we should call it “wealth redistribution” anymore. I think we should go back to the original word for it: STEALING!
