Word Play

Did you know that the words "race car" spelled backwards still spell "race car"?

And that "eat" is the only word that, if you take the first letter and move it to the last, spells its own past tense, “ate”?
And if you rearrange the letters in "Tea Party Republicans," and add just a few more letters, it spells: "Shut the fuck up, you pathetic, free-loading, progress-blocking, benefit-grabbing hypocrites and mindless non-compromising unrealistic fools, and deal with the fact that you nearly wrecked the country under Bush and that our president is black, so get over it."

Now, isn't that interesting?

None of these things were priorities for Republicans. They actively opposed, directly or indirectly through obstruction, every single item on this list. In fact, they succeeded in killing a Cap & Trade bill in the Senate after it had passed through the House.
All of these things are improvements that would not have occurred under a McCain-Palin administration. Moreover, a McCain-Palin administration would have moved in the other direction on most of these issues, or come up with even worse compromises.
