Face Them Down

Chgo Jim at DailyKos has a great post comparing the Repugs to and abusive spouse. Standing up to them is the only answer.

It won't stop. Because they can't stop. You don't try to compromise and reason with irredeemable assholes. You stand up to them. Let them expose themselves for what they are. Let McConnell filibuster the anti-surge resolution. Let him tell the American people to go to hell. Don't give any tax breaks tied to the minimum wage - let them tell people they just don't give a shit about the poor.

Finally, like that poor deluded spouse that eventually has enough, the American people will come to their senses, the people will have had enough.
