ultraholland: The tree of liberty must be uprooted from time to time. ~ Thomas Jefferson

However, I'd think he meant that it should be uprooted for the good of freedom and liberty, not to appease corporate masters and throw us back into the dark ages.

Where all da black women at? ~ Thomas Jefferson

He's like to uproot the judicial, the executive, and... one other one. He can't remember which.

If there is one man I would trust to completely remake our governmental system from top to bottom it's...um...er...that guy...what was his name again?...um...

"That's a fine lookin' chicken" ^ Rick Perry

Gov. Rick Perry returned to Iowa on Monday with plans to unveil a sweeping federal consolidation that he said would "uproot all three branches of government."

Anyone actually surprised he knew how many branches of government there were?

Anyone actually surprised he knew how many branches of government there were?

He can name only two of them.

Executive, legislative, and...um...EPA? Oops.

From another source:

"At the heart of Perry's plan is one to reshape Congress into a part-time "citizen" Congress and cut each rank-and-file member's salary of $174,000 a year in half."

"On judges, Perry proposes 18-year terms for all new federal judges including future appointees to the Supreme Court. Such a change would require an amendment to the Constitution."

-Teddy Roosevelt

I almost want the GOP to get the White House and both houses of Congress, just to see what kind of shiatstorm it would create in this country. I mean, let them get in there, do whatever they want, and watch the disaster it creates.

You mean, tax cuts have nothing to do with job growth?!

You mean, tax cuts for billionaires don't result in revenue increases?!

Paying for wars with money we don't have can bankrupt a country?!

Education really does matter after all?!

LockeOak: Um... what does "uprooting all three branches of government" even mean? At best it could be interpreted as, I don't know, procedural reform, at worst it's sedition.

The GOP: At best, you simply can't figure out what talking point we're trying to stumble through.

PanicMan: ultraholland: This dick ain't gonna suck itself. ~ Benjamin Franklin

There's a pretty good chance Franklin actually said that at some point.

I'm sure he said it in a much wittier and more refined way, however.
