Oh, and hope everybody is ready for 2% more payroll tax for FICA, they didn't do anything about that, but no doubt that will be in the grand compromise to come by the end of february, just how much it will cost the pubbies is yet to be determined. Chances are high they'll pay dearly, so remember these 85, I bet their numbers grow.
The GOP is dead. I won't vote for fund them now even if they are my only choice or hope. Let it burn. Voting for them is voting to give the Democrats their way in the end. We have in the past voted GOP out of optimism and the knowledge that they might cause a delay. Now that we have passed the point of no return, we might as well step on the gas. We need to use their own weight against them, and let them plunge headlong into the abyss because of a sudden lack of (political) opposition. I might be in a small minority, but because of people like me, the GOP will loose at the National level for the rest of time. The rest of you can try to keep the GOP alive, or let her go. I will only vote 3rd party from now on- because I think there is a zero % chance that any GOP will ever stand up for our principles - being entrenched in the system and playing the game. They are traitors just as much as every Democrat, and should share their fates. So lets help them down that road. Give them what they want and more. Give them time and they will use it to further entrench the police state. We need to force their hand, and make them move too early- and the best part is they will do that on their own if simply given the chance.
Ironically, I am happier than I have been in years. The political war is over. We lost. Get in your (unregistered) firefly, live life day to day, take jobs as they come, and use every opportunity that comes your way to F up the Alliance goons, and hurt those who have supported them. Never Forgive. Never forget. But reading the news or getting angry is pointless now. I can tell you what each and every headline you will read in the next 5 years will say: "The Democrats get their way again, happiness expected, if it weren't for those evil meddling kids!" My head is down and I am concentrating on my own affairs and developing my skills and my ability to sustain myself. I'll do the best I can till that Fed carrying my Bullet arrives, and now that that Fed's arrival is a foregone conclusion, there isn't any point in worrying about it till he is standing on my doorstep. Knowing the govt, he will take years to show up. I won't even try to guess the offense. No point. They will find something. After all I am a dissenter and I am unwilling to pretend I am not. The actual charges are meaningless - both to me and to them.All I can do is work to protect me and mine in the meantime.
