How STUPID is this sign? This yard sign (I have copied one from Texas) has begun popping up in yards in Indiana recently.
Indiana has a REPUBLICAN Governor. BOTH Houses of its General Assembly have REPUBLICAN majorities. BOTH of its Senators are REPUBLICAN. SIX of its nine Congressional delegates are REPUBLICAN. The current session of the House of Representatives, UNDER A REPUBLICAN MAJORITY, enacted less legislation than any session since the nineteenth century. Under REPUBLICAN leadership, they voted 33 times to repeal a bill, knowing that the repeal would not be passed by the Senate, and offering NOTHING in its place, simply posturing for political gain. Under REPUBLICAN leadership, this Congress deliberately precipitated an international monetary crisis over the debt ceiling, thereby lowering the country’s credit rating for the first time in history. The immediate consequence of this cynical REPUBLICAN strategy of putting partisan interest ahead of national interest directly corresponds to the months of highest unemployment rates, dampening the economic recovery so that they would have a campaign issue this fall. Let’s fix the problem, and re-write that sign:
