I would add to this that for certain Republicans, e.g., Perkins and Limbaugh, subtraction amounts to addition, considering how their deeply inserted proboscises know no limits as they proceed to suck every drop of blood they can convert to cash out of a beast whose very survival is on the line. It's all about the money.

Sir;... The difference between war and politics is that in politics the advantage goes to offense, and in war the advantage rests with defense...The one in politics spreading lies with a snow shovel always has an edge on the one trying to scoop up truth with a teaspoon.... I have been told that the second liar never has a chance... For him to succeed his lies must be a magnitude larger than first liar, and seamless... Whether we know it or not, we have several struggles taking place here... We are deciding whether we will let any minority send a representative to D.C. in the expectation that only the minority will be served...We are also trying to decide if the freedom of the press is warranted for those who only tilt, twist, and spin the news from the same facts as everyone else... Nations survive on truth just as human beings do as individuals... What kills patients in the hospital is the very thing that kills pedestrians, or soldiers..What ever the disease, or the calamity, it is the want of truth that kills...In this land we have no choice....Since we have no choice we need no facts, and yet the need for facts often kill us...The fact that our house of representative does not represent us is the reason minorities work with such undiluted diligence to get their man or woman elected...They know the triumph of their party IS the defeat of so many in their districts who will not be heard nor be governed, nor represented as they wish... These parties have conspired to limit representation, and they have spelled the end of democracy and the destruction of this nation...It does not matter to the right that there is push back from the educated and informed against their obscene and obsessive ideas because they can frame the moral argument to justify any immorality... There are some arguments that no person can win... Lincon advised not to quarrel against equal right...If my spouse is half right it is certain she will win because I can't live without her... The right is not half right, and even when their morality guides them it is defective in that it will not stand the test of reason... I do not want to see my country fractious, and unreasonable...Nor do I want the liberals to surrender right when they have reason on their side... The ideal objective is for us to have small districts where people unite to send representatives to Washington with total support, representing the will of the whole people... We have divided districts, and this is done with a purpose, to divide and make powerless the population when compared to monied interests... But this situation, undemocratic, and unresponsive to the needs of the people has bred a bitter and radical population... We cannot blame alone the mouthpieces of a failed ideology for the intransigence of their followers... We need to understand that our parties which are unconstitutional, and our limits on house numbers to fit the form of the structure that houses them is are literally killing us, dividing us, and setting us upon the throats of our neighbors...It is crazy, and impotent to look at these mere forms and say we cannot change them when the whole of human progress has been accomplished with changes of form no less painful than our own... The forms will be changed...The form or our government, the form our economy, our morals, our society, and our nation will be changed because change is the great law of moral reality... We must change or die simply because our forms are making us a hateful, spiteful, pitiable, and pitiless as a people... We must ask if this is what we want to be about, taking all from the weak among us as we took from the natives, and slaughtering all who object...An election is easy to win if enough money and lies are thrown at ones opponent... Consensus is a more difficult prize to reach, and no one can count on it, ever... If we will have democracy we shall have consent and consensus...Then only will we have self government...Thanks...Sweeney

In addition, The Democrats no longer have a national political leader to tie the Republicans to. I argue that the GOP not having a leader is good for the GOP. http://bit.ly/cEmB9
