Horse with no Brain, the DUmp's dick inspector, stirred from her single-wide in that hot, dusty, crappy Texas trailer park, to replace the tires on
her '89 Ranger. In doing so, wonder of wonders, she runs into a full-blown bouncy tale in the tire store waiting area. This bouncy tale is unique in that the wise moonbat doesn't lead the dialogue, and the characters are not in conflict. It makes for a boring bouncy, and doesn't enhance the believability of the ludicrous tale at all:

Interesting day today. Had to go buy tires and overheard (well I was really eavesdropping)
We were sitting in the waiting room and there was a black woman in her 60's and white man in his 70's sitting there. That awkward silence of waiting rooms abounded...then something on the TV spurred the black lady to say something.
I live in a very red teabag infested cesspool. And all appearances that in this particular waiting room at this particular time with the people that were amassed, really didn't portend well. I decided that I was going to keep my nose in my magazine no.matter.what because I knew this wasn't going to end well and honestly, I knew ANY input I had would certainly piss someone off.
The first statement was something pretty bland...like we needed some new fools in Washington. The man wholeheartedly agreed. Then they started talking about REAL politics--not Washington politics. The kind that people really care about.
Neither were kind to Obama. Neither were kind to Congress. Neither were kind to the republicans and neither were kind to the Democrats.
They talked about hard times growing up, schools, school budgets, shared acquaintances, and the destruction of politics all around on EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING that politics touched was broken.
Interestingly, they were not hooked into the dialogue that Washington is hooked into--but they firmly had their pulse on what people REALLY care about and obviously, it is NOTHING about what Washington cares about.
I truly wished that I had had a way to tape record this...because the anger that I have felt in the past few days was echoed by these people in calm voices, reasonable and rational dialogue, but, make no mistake, they have the same opinion as I do. Washington is broken and we can't fix it with this cast of clowns that presently are there.
It is the first REAL hope that I have felt since this election and the first hope that people just might rise up and take their government back.

What are the odds this could be true, especially in a very red, teabag-infested cesspool?

1. Sounds like an off off Broadway play.
Maybe a good one, do you have an agent?
Bully alert! Bully alert!

2. But how to do it?
Third party?
Primary many incumbent Dems?
Urge Repukes to primary incumbent Rethugs but from the center, not the right?
Take to the streets?
Go scream at everyone's town-hall meetings or other 'listening' events.
I continue to advocate legalizing the murder of anyone who uses "primary" as a verb.

Just the opposite happened in 2010, so it's likely to happen in 2012 too.

"primary" as a verb must be one of their latest pretentions. Speraking of which, guess who weighs in here with a "solution":

8. All of the above and none of the above
literally take over the party machinery and yes... CREATE a parallel structure to the party to vet your candidates. Yes, take a page from the Tbager movement
::)

Yes, yes! I suppose she has to emphasize it because left to their own, DUmmies won't actually do anythig but complain.
What is a Tbager?

We're going to take advice from you? How are you going to "urge" us?

I didn't realize that there was a tire store in Texas that would barter tires for sexual favors from a toothless trailer-dwelling tweeker.

I believe it's like half a bagel.

Sounds like a new name for the pasties the strippers wear.
Actually I darn near came close to making the same mistakes the DU makes at the doctors today.
In the waiting room a middle aged man and wife were sitting next to us and the man was playing a card game on some kind of equipment, nothing anyone in the family owns or at least never brings over to the house.
I finally asked the gentleman, what the heck was he using. He looked at me like I had lived in the woods too long and said it was an IPAD. I have seen naturally the ads for the gizmo's but as I seldom do much shopping finally got a good look at the doohickey. Amazing, I do not even own a cell phone and finally learned how to program the microwave and the remote for cable TV ,threw caution to the winds and asked him and wife a few dozen questions.
Out of my mouth I found myself telling them that I did own an old fashion computer but watching the news was the reason I was at the heart doctors with them. I meant it as a joke but realised that I had better shut my mouth as they stayed flat faced on my comment.
Lesson no.1, strangers do not talk about politics or religion in a public setting. All the DU bouncy must be shall we say exaggerated a bit.
Up shot--when we left I decided to go to a Target store new to the area, stupid me I should have gotten on or those electric sit down ride ons but decided to walk to the Electronics section to price the gizmo's and see what else I had missed.
EYE opener, all this stuff that costs the earth just to play games on, lots of Demo machines but Hubby and I had no idea how to work them. Did find out Target still sells 35 mm. film, I hate the new cameras.
After 45 minutes I hit my limit and we got out of there to come home, Once we got home I told Hubby that I think we both fell of the turnip truck. Hubby uses a computer at work but has no idea how to use the home PC, no reason to, he is too busy with now working to support both of us as I can not work and refuse to apply for #ss until another few years to get top benefits.
WTF, kids as young as 4-5 use today's technology but few 40 year olds know how to prime a pump to get water from a well.

I'll see your bouncy and raise you a stretchy.

11. I had a similar conversation in a doctor's waiting room this week.
It was pretty clear that the people were all aware that we were being robbed so the rich can get richer. The general feeling seemed to be that while none of us had expected much from Washington, we had gotten far less than was remotely fair.

PRIMARY: All those in a primary are losers save one....So, 99% of democrats in a primary are losers....and when you primary DUmmies, they're all losers. :loser: :loser: :loser:
And that is how to use primary as a verb.
