2. Bitter bigots who will never accept that the world is
changing. People are talking to each other. The social conservatism of yesterday will no longer be. This cannot come soon enough.

25. I don't see your optimism at all...
I would love to think America is getting ready to move into the 21st Century instead of back to the 19th but in 2013 when President Rick Perry has taken the oath lets see what progress comes...Let's see if "social conservatism of yesterday will no longer be".

Yes, if you break things down into specific issues & take a poll it seems a majority is in favor of many progressive issues BUT Americans are NOT ready to shed their obsession with brain dead, science denying, Christian Right Authoritarians...And this is why we will not be moving onto the 21st Century anytime soon.

Plus, the issues Americans may say they support in polls quickly changes when the Right Wing Media Machine goes into top gear. We are still a decade or more away from real change in this country if we do decide to go with Perry in 2013.

I was pissed off when Bill Maher first suggested that on Politically Incorrect, but, as the years have gone by.....

48. 19th? I think they'd prefer to go back further
to the first half of the 18th century, before the Lisbon tsunami woke up the world to the fact God maybe wasn't really that nice after all (as detailed in Candide) and we might need a political wing to the scientific enlightenment, leading to all kinds of awful things like the American Revolution.

7. Well, the crowd did outnumber the people selling tchotchkes
but only just. It's the most lethargic "rally" I've ever seen.

No wonder they're fizzling out.

51. They can't use the bubble machine anymore.
Too many people would keel over from the excitement.

Actually they probably just couldn't figure out a way to charge per person per bubble. Bubble Machines are socialism!

61. YOU ARE FLAGGED!
this "old white, piece of shit" has been a voter & Democratic activist for 50 years.........................
And I am NOT going any where for a long while.
I can see in my Family Geneology book, that for 3 centuries, most of us lived into our 80's & 90's. The exception was our Rev. War Hero who contracted TB at Valley Forge and died at 54! broke as well.........as his funds went to his soldiers/ food & boots.
I did GOTV in Nov. ( made more calls than anyone else) Over 1/2 the voters I called were OLD DEMOCRATS, ( 65 - 90) been voting that way for years.AND BEEN VOTING! BUT they were confused by the REP. NOISE MACHINE. They came (Koch Bros $) into our county for the first time, to unseat our Dem Congressman. Failing at that they are now trying for sweeping reapportionment. We are so few..............we have been ignored until now. That they are working to enlist us now, says to me "endgame" tying up the loose ends.
I grew up in a very liberal town in NJ. We are ALL OLD NOW..............& very sad!

52. Who is paying for this TeaBag nightmare? It costs money to put these shows on...
Edited on Tue Sep-06-11 04:53 PM by lib2DaBone
It costs money to put these shows on. Permits, Porta Pottys, Tents, Sound System. Big Bucks.

I'm sure if you follow the money it leads to the KOCH (coke) Bros.!

Do NOT take these Tea Bag Nuts lightly. It was people such as this that led the way in Germany in 1932. Also, watch what Gen David Patreaus does. He could pop out as the Repuke last-minute candidate... sealing the fate of the USA as officially a Fascist Government.

We are now re-living Germany 1932.. both economically and militarily.

Gen Patreaus was sworn in today as the head of the CIA by Joe Biden... with glowing remarks... beware...
