You sure have to hand it to the Rethug fascists...

 they sure have a lot of balls, and if you're weak-kneed, politically-correct, polite, willing to listen and attempt to understand the other side's POV, willing to negotiate, willing to accept blame, willing to admit mistakes, willing to concede defeat, then they wouldn't want you. Sorry folks, we lose these kinds of battles exactly because we won't use the term "LIAR!" when they actually do lie (which is always), won't directly confront them without mealy-mouthed explanations for our statements which completely undemine our premises, such as "although my esteemed colleague etc. etc.", and won't call a spade a bloody shovel as one of my professors used to say - repeatedly. Yes yes, those folks on the ground often do these things, but the "spokespeople" for our party are just so *******ed nice and jovial all the time it makes me queasy. What we need are good-looking versons of James Carville sans the creepy wife/cryptofascist who will speak in whole sentences which are short, to the point, and filled with words that average Americans respond to, and say what is going on.

Oh yes, and one more thing...a certain path to victory lies in doing exactly the opposite of whatever Bob Shrum says to do. He's actually a valuable resource since he's always exactly wrong - like a Bizarro version of Cassandra or the Seinfeld episode where Jason Alexander does the opposite of what his instincts tell him to do and winds up with the perfect job with the NY Yankees.
 
I'm almost out of strength having tried to fight politically for almost 50 years and now I'm witnessing the imminent demise of trade unions, of public education, of assistance to the needy, of sentimentality, of the culture in general. We have become isolated by our technology inasmuch as face-to-face interaction has been minimized...Hell, people won't even talk on the phone anymore, they just text. No conversation necessary, just put on your earbuds and while away the day...
 
Makes me ill.

How can they be so damned blind to the hate that gets posted there everyday?  The next time they make an honest attempt to understand the conservative POV will be the first time.

It's not hate to them.

It's your fault because you provoked them.

You know what, DUmbass, I think you may be onto something.  I do believe you should just let it all out, scream in people's faces, make as much of a nuisance of yourself as you possibly can to get your point across.  And if nobody listens, I think you should round up as many people as possible to block traffic, threaten those who disagree with you, deface property, intimidate, spread disease, suck up resources, and just make life in general a pain in the ass for civilized people who just want to live in peace.

That should do the trick, that should work out great for you. 



Oh, wait a minute, didn't you already do that?   :whatever:
