Texas Democrats did the same thing several years ago to then Gov. George Bush. The jerk who got us into so much of the mess we're in now.
John on the Sunset Coast, your platitudes may be well-meaning, but they're nonsense. The current idiocy of the GOP is to continue to fund two wars, to continue to let crooks bill Medicaid and Medicare until they're blue from blood loss, but try to settle the budget on the back of the people who have no funds to compensate for the loss of services. Yet the rich got a big tax cut. And they don't pay their fair share of Social Security benefits.
Things can be adjusted, but it is typical and tragic that the GOP in power go for exactly the wrong things first. All the while, executive pay, banking fees, the behavior of credit card companies, etc, goes unchecked. Why? Because the bankers and rich people are republicans, of course, and won't make themselves pay their fair share.
