I'm a capitalist, so bad reasons are a dollar, reasons are 5, and good reasons are 10, and yes I take paypal. No such thing as riding for free.

Dan Maes: Possibly the biggest nutbag of all the Tea Partiers to be running this fall. Candidate for governor of CO, nominally (R), big time TP. Thinks the Denver bicycle rental program is part of a plot for the UN to take over the US govt.; lied about his role in an undercover sting as an agent of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, etc.
I also left out congressional candidate Republican Jim Russell of New York. Some of his views are so controversial the New York State Republican Party wants him taken off the ballot

Well, if you keep the Dems in power you can...

-get piecemeal amnesty passed, one bill at a time
-cap & trade where we can be penalized for not going green
-higher taxes if the $200K rich aren't rich enough and they have to lower the bar and declare $100K rich
-extend unemployment another 99 weeks
-pass a stimulus 2 for more pork projects
-make government even bigger by hiring more people to handle the paperwork for all the new bills
-allow the Fed government to work their way into the schools and impose a national curriculum.
-fund and expand more social programs and tax the rich to pay for them.

Because republicans still can't believe they did anything wrong in policy creating economic meltdown. That's pretty huge I think. Call me kooky.

They know exactly what they did, but as long as they, and their buddies, are on the collecting side of that, they don't care. If they bring the Country down, so what, they are World Citizens, not American Citizens.
