Reince Priebus: So to improve our messaging, we've decided to recruit a GOP Celebrity Task Force! Sid: Uh-huh. Okay, couple problems I see with that, Reince. First, there aren't any A-list celebrities who support the GOP. Your second problem is there also aren't any B-list celebrities who support the party! Reince Priebus: How about the C-list? Sid: That I'd have to check on. Trump may hold all the rights.
Boy, I’m going to get beat up for this observation. Oh well, here goes..Look at all of you. Republican/Democrat, Red vs Blue State, Conservate vs Liberal vs far right vs far left, ad nauseum. Look at yourselves! You’re all pissing around with the symptoms and totally missing the disease. .There are bigger problems with our system of government. It would appear that Thomas Jefferson was prescient when he was writing about how to keep Democracy from getting stale. I have personally been told by people working in DC, that quoting Jefferson is considered a seditious act by some of our elected representatives..Look at where we are. We have made a mockery of the ideals written into our constitution..We live in an oligarchy. Look it up, if you don’t know the word. And if you agree with that, than quit throwing fecal matter at each other, like a bunch of angry monkeys and start a dialogue in this country to figure out what in the hell we can do about it.
