Anger
 When the right gets angry, we get more Republicans, and further right Republicans, elected to office.

When the middle gets angry, we get more of whoever isn't in power at the moment.

When the left gets angry, we get more Republicans, and further right Republicans, elected to office.


Something doesn't balance here very well.

5. That's because the right hasn't perfected the technique...
 ...of cutting off their nose to spite their face. Something that leftists do as a badge of honor.

8. I've been hoping that the Tea Party insanity...
 ....would be enough to drive Republicans into a dangerous (for them) divisiveness, but somehow (if current polls are to be believed) the Republicans are more than happy to rally around the Tea Party nuts, mainstreaming opinions and agendas that should land people in mental wards, while obviously oblivious independents are happy enough to shift allegiance to these crazies too, blaming Democrats for not having fixed eight years of Republican damage in two years, and not having long enough memories to remember who made the mess in the first place.

7. Yep.  
 Dems get angry about pet causes, which all too often translates into a circular firing squad.

 

 :lmao:

That is about the whole thing, but man, it made me laugh.

In as much as YOU DUmmys do when you "slice-and-dice" your own child while in your womb, suck it out with a vacuum, then toss it in the trash.

Reference 0bama's knee-jerk reaction to the racist bitch Shirley Sherrod, then tossed her boss under the bus.
Of course, we principles of the VRWC 'snarkeled'.

  That's because we don't think of the ideas as nutty at all, and certainly not mental ward material.  Pretty common-sense stuff, to us.

9. Because when the Right gets angry.. they UNITE.... when the left gets angry, they DIVIDE
   

"I don't belong to any organized party, I'm a Democrat." -- Will Rogers


Republicans know how to get all their factions in line.



Our left-most faction, the so called "netroots", works as hard as they can to keep our factions from getting together. They accept *NO* compromise at all. Either 100% purity, or we're taking our ball and going home.

The devious one is describing the Troop of primitives that live on the island.  :lmao:
Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

It's FAR too early in the morning here to read this much stoopid.   :thatsright:
“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

Examples of Tea Party Craziness:

1. Living within our means---THE HORROR!!

2. Personal Responsibility---THE HORROR!!

3. Those working pay enough taxes---THE HORROR!!

4. Those not working get enough tax money---THE HORROR!!

5. 2000 page unread laws are corrupt and hurt the average American---THE HORROR!!

6. The Constitution should be followed less we slip into totalitarianism---THE HORROR!!

 
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
