The GOP Let Them Eat Cake Bake Off!

Tea Partied Republican lawmakers’ continued waste of  our hard earned tax dollars is half-baked!

…piles upon piles of scandalous, FOXified hearings trying  to discredit the President, voting rights protector Attorney General Holder and former Secretary of State Clinton with no substantiated scandalous results - again; repeated refusals to bring  the President’s  Americans Jobs Act to full passage; placing a woman’s right to choose on the GOP chopping block - again; allowing background checks to remain unchecked, and  irresponsibly allowing the sequester  to fester on the backs of the middle class, the poor,  women, children, the elderly, veterans, military personnel, cancer patients,  college students, the disabled, and the Tea Partied Republican lawmakers’ silent response to  not governing is …

Let them eat cake!

Well, guess what -  after 5 years of Tea Partied Republican lawmakers’ half-baked  governance,  their  cake is getting pretty stale!

As long as Tea Partied Republican lawmakers remain in office, gridlock, blockages and exaggerated, politicized bake offs will continue for the next two and a half years!

Every single Tea Partied Republican congressional House Representative and Senator up for reelection must be voted out in the  2014 Midterm elections!

Before WE votemout,  make them earn their taxpayer subsidized pay  and taxpayer subsidized comprehensive health care coverage for themselves and their families – keep their phone lines, email accounts, mail boxes and fax lines busy...

We deserve a vote!
