The GOP simply does not care. They're going home for Christmas. The rest of us? We can wait.

If you vote again for these fools, you will deserve what you get.

@jamey123456789 If the GOP keeps this act up there will never be a Republican president again. Most of America is waking up to the fact that the GOP are incompetent and do not have working class America's best interests at heart. And he didn't walk out on the 'stupid liberal', he walked out on 160 million Americans who are going to be paying higher taxes next year. Do you earn a paycheck? Enjoy paying the government an extra 1000$ per year because your party can't act like adults

@jamey123456789 Retards hate the democratic process. You'd be happier in a dictatorship, son...

Play & post daily.. remind voters of who's on their side and why the GOP needs to get their heads handed to them in 2012. THEY DON'T CARE about American workers. They think the forty dollars per paycheck that will be taken out of our pay is nothing. Well it means plenty to a lot of people: gas to get to work, medicine, groceries...of course the GOP has their health insurance and their perks. They can't envision what $40 means to "the little people". Reality check badly needed/.

[Keepitv]

No GOP voting this year for me.
