We are losing this one.
I just got home tonight from a week in DC. I was there for the SOS march and conference, which was wonderful. We also got some media coverage and it was pretty good.
We had decided to stay today to do some sightseeing and with all the hoopla over the debt ceiling, we headed over to the capitol this morning to see what was going on. It was hot and so it wasn't too crowded. But the teabaggers were EVERYWHERE. Wearing t-shirts with silly sayings and holding signs. All over the freakin place. Walking in and out of congressional offices, in the capitol headed to the gallery to watch the vote - it was like a teabagger convention.
Did. Not. See. One. Liberal.
Damn.
This woman had her children out in 95 degree heat holding signs while she argued with people walking by.
********a photo of three or four smiling kids holding signs for the DUmbass lady with a camera***********
And these nuts were EVERYWHERE. Their shirts say PASS A CONSTITUTIONAL BALANCED BUDGET AMENDMENT.
********a photo of a couple of people in T-shirts*********
I must get 5 emails every day asking me to call, telling me AFP is cheating in Wisconsin, I need to go see my congressman TOMORROW, we are losing Social Security . . . . and on and on. But when the game is played, we are LOSING.
I don't know the answer. All I know is what I saw today was just demoralizing. And it helped me understand why Obama caved.
We have zero chance in 2012 unless we get off our rear ends and do something other than send emails and post on the internet about how screwed we are. But I'm so frustrated tonight I don't know what to do besides post on the internet that we're screwed. Sorry.
I'm definitely open for suggestions.

Proud2BDUmb Anne sounds a little down; she even used those stupid Pittian dots.
Coach could cheer her up, but won't touch her with a ten-foot pole.

1. I don't have any but can I vent?
I'm so sick and damned of these stupid teabaggers. These protesters would rather be homeless and unemployed rather than a black man be president.
DUmmy maryellennumbers is sick and damned. Sorry she's sick. Like most moonbats, though, being damned was a personal choice.

2. It's not surprising to me that there are not liberals up there.
They were bounced pretty early on.
I have no idea what point poor, stupid Beth is trying to make.

5. If I was wearing a t-shirt or holding a sign - yes
Bullshit. I would spot Anne Pritchett as a moonbat in a split second.
That hateful, squinty, pinched face is dead giveaway.

The teacher march was wonderful.
The Fifty Moonbat March was great! And it accomplished so much!

7. Republicans, Boehner included, seem to be responding to tea baggers for fear of primaries...
The teabagger primary candidates are getting votes... even if it mean that an office will be lost... the Sharon Engle's, etc. ... are being voted in— and as a result the tea bagger voice is being heard within the Republican party.
Obama has as much as said, by not including Single Payer reps even in talks, with Rahm calling MoveOn members "****ing retards", etc. ... that he couldn't give a shit what us "leftbaggers" think, let alone say.
Agree on Engle, but she was a much better candidate than the nut in Delaware who cost us another Senate seat. And lizard-face Rahm was dead on target in his assessment of MoveOn.

The Die alte Sau, the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher, is thinking the same way the other primitives think.
She thinks that people demonstrating (for either side) is a good indicator of "public sentiment."
Anne forgets that running amok on the streets isn't everybody's piece of cake; in fact, most people prefer other ways of expressing their opinions and ideas--and so what one sees on the streets is not a good indicator of true public sentiment.
One need only to hearken back to, say, circa 1971, when the hippies were running around protesting the war in Vietnam. Hundreds of thousands of hippies. But at the very same time, less than 25% of the American public thought it a good idea that we cut-and-run from Vietnam. (And the elections of 1968, 1970, and 1972 proved the polls, not the hippies, right.)
If the wretched old bitch wants to gauge public sentiment better, I'd suggest she use more criteria, more variables, than what she sees on the streets.

That was the basis for one of President Nixon's wisest strategies - relying on the power of the "Silent Majority".
The people who screech and squall will always be a fringe element.

So what if the wretched old bitch saw Tea Party patriots on the streets, and no moonbats?
It's pretty much established that what the Tea Party offers is vastly popular--but what the Die alte Sau saw in Washington is far from an accurate gauge of how really popular the Tea Party is.
And just because the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher didn't see many moonbats there, doesn't mean there's not a goodly plurality of moonbats in this country.
Anne's got to unpetrify, unfossilize, her way of looking at things.

Never saw word about any protest or rally on Fox news. :-)

Hmmm. A panic at the mere sight of the Tea Party. Commies just cannot stand competition...
Its interesting but this forum hosted a more than a few DUmpster Dives toasting the demise of the Tea Party, why no one saw them anywhere.
and now (gasp!), they're talking to congressmen and senators. We're everywhere!
I wish the primitives would keep their stories straight...are we dead, or a menace to the free world?

According to the DUmp, we are a dead menace to the free world. Like really patriotic zombies. :-)

Anne is scared. She knows that 2010 will pale in comparison to the onslaught that is coming in 2012. She is trying to rally the troops.
The DUmbass is speaking to the choir. Just how many converts does she expect to reach on the island?
-
Part of the problem, Anne, you dried up old windbag, is that we're more dedicated to our country. It means something to us so we're willing to fight for it. You guys are just protesting for more handouts. Makes you lazy, self-centered and unwilling to serve a cause greater than yourself.

Me either; also no mention on ABC Radio news, nor on the local channel (Non-Fox) which I watch in the morning mainly for local weather and State news.

If you hold a rally and no one shows up, did a rally really happen?

I went over see the photo. Those rabid, ugly, hateful, ferocious insane teabaggers are a violent mob!!!!!
(it's actually two smiling, pleasant looking young girls, wondering why they owe so much money and what the future holds).

If teachers would start being TEACHERS and NOT Indoctrinators, things would be different.

My friend's husband is a Capital Police officer. He was in NY last week, but I will ask him about these 'protests'. I saw him Saturday, and he didn't mention anything other than morons lining up in the 100+ weather for tours.

I have not been in D.C. very many times, but every time I've been there, there have been little wads of moonbats all over the place, protesting one thing or another. I suspect there are small groups of whackjobs parading with signs 365 days a year.

Back when I lived there (up until about 8 years or so ago) that was absolutely the case.

My friend's husband is a Capital Police officer. In this weather, he really hates Bouncy Duty where he has to hide in bushes for hours just to arrest a conservative.
Fixed it.

LOL! He did bitch about being on Pelosi's detail, as well as the nasty people in Harry Reid's office.

Wonder if he's the one who tried to check crazy Cynthia McKinney's ID.

No, lucky him. But he was stuck on Pelosi's detail. Did you know she gets her hair done every day? Even if it's just a blow-dry, she gets it done. Guess doing one's own hair is for the poors.
