Demolition: that's just what Republicans do. They break and destroy things — with glee (Houston Chronicle):

Harris County [Texas] GOP Chairman Jared Woodfill is asking local Republicans to bring sledgehammers and other implements of destruction to help level the [former headquarter] building the Democrats vacated three months ago.

"You bring the muscle, we'll bring the refreshments and we will have a party as we tear down the Harris County Democratic Party headquarters," Woodfill said in his invitation to party faithful.

Harris County Democratic Party Chairman Gerry Birnberg was quick with a metaphor. That's what Republicans do, he said, "tearing things down, destroying them."

"They did it to our economy, to our jobs market, to our voting rights, to our democracy, to civility in government, to civil rights, to health care for children, to fair pay for teachers -- they took out their sledgehammers and smashed them to smithereens."

True to their lying, thieving nature, Texas Repubs are trying to characterize the Democratic move as an "eviction," even sending a press release to that effect, when in fact the party simply moved its headquarters when its lease expired.

The Dems and local organized labor "will hold a 'peaceful' sidewalk party nearby to watch the GOP 'destroy the building and the economy.'"
