and they will not only agree with Romney about those moochers but say that that is what is crushing America!

I think the dumbing down of the citizens is crushing America. I would love to scream at them to SHUT OFF FOX NEWS AND RUSH and try to figure out why they don't see the America the rest of us see. The one where even if you do all of the right things, work hard, study hard, finish degrees, show up for that job, you'll still be just as likely to get that pink slip as the next guy. And then, the cascade of unemployment begins with the loss of income, the loss of health care and possibly the loss of your home that will lead you to despair all so some rich CEO can go bank another million of our tax payer funds because they are the only ones that can afford the lobbyists that have pushed that lazy good for nothing congress to write the tax laws in their favor. THAT is what is crushing America and those baggers are letting them get away with it. Sorry, I just spent a few hours with a couple of my tea bagger family members that believe that shit and they are the reason we are losing this culture war. We need to stand up and shut them down. We need to show them that they are next and it had NOTHING to do with Obama.

Top Romney Adviser: ‘We Are A Nation Of People Dependent On Their Government’ | Mitt Romney adviser Bay Buchanan reiterated the Republican campaign’s belief that half of Americans are dependent upon government, during an appearance on Meet Thee Press on Sunday. “We are in perilous times in this country. We are looking at financial ruin. We are looking at dependency. We’re a nation of people dependent on their government, and that is what Barack Obama gives us,” she said. Watch it:

I couldn't agree more with the dumbing down of American! The GOP is doing everything it possibly can (from the local level to the national level) to emasculate the Public School System. They are teaching to test not for critical thinking. Rick Perry even stated he does not want Texas students learning to think critically. Rick Santorum stated smart people will not vote Republican. Red States require the teaching of Biblical Creation as SCIENCE and some prohibit the teaching of evolution.

Further I believe TV in general creates stupidity. Reality TV is nothing more than voyeurism from inside your own home. I turned off the TV in the 1980's during the Reagan Admin and haven't watched it since. I also haven't missed it.

and the GOP in this state are the laughing stock of this country. I liked Richard Lugar (R) and some tea bagger (Richard Murdoch) got him primaried and hopefully, Joe Donnelly (DEM) will beat Murdoch after what's he's said.
Quote: I like to inflict my ideas on others and I believe the Dems should come to my side of the compromise. (or something close to that). it's sickening.

Sure, the Dems throw us more bones and give us Hope, but how can you explain some of the things that they do, or Obama does? Carlin is right, they have the Judges and have the laws written how they want them to be, and the Judges to uphold it. We have lost so many rights since 9/11/2001, it is not funny! I tell the right wingers I meet that both parties are own by the 1% so let's throw them all out and get campaign finance reform for REAL! We can fight about guns, gays, and abortion after we clean house! Some will agree with that because I did not ask them to give up most of their beliefs.

As Clinton pointed out the voter suppression that the Republicans have been able to put in place could very well result in President Obama' defeat. If this happens, I wonder what will be the response. Could it finally ignite a real response with massive protests or will the response be similar to that when Bush stole the election? Little more than a whimper. I would hope that voters who don't have the "proper" IDs flood the polling places demanding their right to vote causing massive chaos. The Black and Hispanic churches should use their buses to flood the poles with their congregations and hold a real "Tea Party."

I'm hoping this election pushes the GOP even further to the right and out of the mainstream. The party is already dying from the inability to adapt to demographics shift.

It's running at nearly every commercial break here in NC. The one Obama ad, featuring Bill Clinton, while very effective, doesn't run as often, but this needs to be added quickly. They may be worried about over saturation, but it's pretty late in the game, and they need to pull out all the stops.
