Mad enough to start an ultra-conservative, twisted and deranged party of Republicans called the Tea Party, whose agenda is so far to the right that it threatens the liberties of minorities everywhere, and the hard fought gains over the past century? Mad enough to allow the same party that caused this mess to get back into power and start it all over again? Mad enough to allow fear to triumph over reason, just to gain enough power to advance your own agenda at the expense of the people you were elected to represent?
NO, NO, a thousand times, NO!!!
