In the face of withering fire, 11 Bravo takes the hill.

Oh wait, it was just a phone call. Nevermind.

Funny, the things DUmmies get so ecstatic over.

I just lit up a Republican phone banker.

Wingnut/Teabagger Keith Fimian is running against my Congressman, Gerry Connolly, in Virginia's 11th district. His caller started off with the usual boiler plate crap, and then lapsed into the regular Teabagger mantra ... "Isn't it time for "career politician" Gerry Connolly to go?" I answered, "Yeah, let's get rid of all those career politicians. And while we're at it, let's dump all those damned career brain surgeons and airline pilots. Hell, let's make sure that everybody who actually knows what the **** they're doing gets shit-canned!" There followed about five seconds of complete silence, and then a very soft "click" as they disconnected.
I doubt I'll be hearing from them again.

If this actually happened, who wants to bet it was a pre-recorded message? :rotf:

14. OK, blushing furiously here.
   
I always had myself pegged as just another amorphous DU A-hole, one who occasionally makes a cogent point, but while passionate, is too offensive to make many friends. I also curse too much (but **** it, I was a combat infantryman, that's how we talked). Yet now I find out that one of my all-time favorite DUers doesn't think I suck? I think I'll have a beer.


I don't normally question anyone's military service, but I do get suspicious of "veterans" who feel the constant need to give their military resume'. Especially at DU.

I wish the founding fathers had included a way to keep anyone from being a career politician.  Seriously, the worlld's second oldest profession bears a striking resemblance to the first.

But the "john" with the first generally walks away with a smile while the "john" with the second limps away with a grimace and a sore behind.

I actually got a live call Thursday.  It asked me if I would vote for the Republican NYS Assembly candidate running against the idiot currently in that slot (D, and MSB provided a good video clip of him in a debate).  I said yes.  They were happy and hung up.

He was kinder than I was when I received a call urging me to vote for the Dim Senate candidate.

My reply was "**** off and die".

Of course the Dems are trying to use that same 'career politician' thing in any race with a Republican incumbent, but I guess it's okay when they say it.

I wonder what movie he took that scene from.  :confused:

BTW. I got a call from the democrat arty last week asking for my vote for one of obama's lap dogs (Gary Peters). I told her that in 38 years of voting that I have never voted for a democrat. She hung up without comment.

I guess because my County is heavily Republican they don't have any worries how it's going to go.
