The republicans I will be voting for in 2014 and 2016 will have to answer a simple question: how do you intend to go about rolling back the EPA and other federal agencies to their original missions. Without a good answer, I won’t bother voting. Let the Dem win. It won’t make any difference.

Why does the EPA need to garnish a wage? Isn’t that the IRS’ job? Wait, I guess they are busy running healthcare or something.
Nothing makes sense.
Because global warming, err global cooling, ... well.. its climate change is going to kill us all unless we tax the crap out of energy.
Look at that hurricane a few hours ago.
Repent, raise energy taxes and buy carbon credits like Al Gore does and pray that is enough to save us.
The science is settled.

I still have that one on my DVR. I Loved it as a kid and still do now.
I think part of it is I prefer the cooler months to the warmer months.
I had some fun on immigration here at #3 playing GOPe RINO.
Outright theft.
