[Robert A Hansen]

No Amtrak putthis right square on the Republicans. The republicans we have now are a pack of rabbid dogs. They are bad evil tea partiers that want to take everything away from us poor working folks and give it all to their rich buddies.

Good evening,

My friend, I think you mean politicians, as we both know the democrats 
are equally bad or worse. We need to get fresh faces on the Federal 
hill, as well as better leaders at the county, state, and national level 
pretty much across our nation.
