Now, granted, I live in Denver and thus the odds are that most people you meet are DEMS, but we have our majority share of totally unaware and uninvolved folks as well. Yet today, I had a total of five strangers bring up their total disgust with what is going on in DC (though neither party was specifically named nor blamed). To have this happen--totally unsolicited--is pretty much unheard of for me. Yet, twice in Bed, Bath & Beyond the subject was brought up by sales staff and I overheard three other conversations in line at the grocery store, gas station, and in Walgreens.

People are royally pissed and unless I am totally misreading, the intransigence and overt arrogance of the RETHUGS is not going to be forgotten.

I can only hope my experience is consistent with the national tone and temper...

Well gee, if a bunch of democrats don't like the republicans, that has to mean the whole country thinks that way, right?

1. I hope so. The nation was founded on people trying to work together for
   
a democracy and some sense of fairness. Yep, it did not occur for everyone and some pretty outrageous events occurred, but what we have now is a party trying to bring the entire nation down. These republicans are not fit to hold office.

No they worked for a Republic, not a democracy. I'm certain the founders would tell you DUmp monkeys to put the bong down, get out of the basement and get a job.

7. GOP = DMFWs.
   
Dead. Mother. ****ers. Walking.

Sounds like hate speech to me.

I hate to break it to you goons, ok I lied, I'm quite happy to break it to you goons that you are not in the majority. Most people have enough common sense to realize that we can not spend our way out of this. The GOP submitted a bill, Reid shit canned that bill and now is trying to blame the GOP for their inaction.

Ooooo I'm real scared now.

What you gonna do ***** ? Send me a sternly worded letter ? Hold a sit-in-bongathon ? Post pictures of your hands ?

Bring it or shut your cock holster.

[Mr Mannn]

I work in a predominately liberal workplace. No one is talking about this. Not even the political nuts. Most liberals do not care. They do not tune in Obama addresses to the nation, nor do they follow up the next day on line.

Point of my post: there is NO outrage. No upset feelings or worry. No one expects to be impacted at all. No one is worried about SS stopping.

This little spat is not an issue in the lives of people. The only ones seemingly aware of the details of whats going on in DC are the few Conservatives.

2012 is going to be another Reagan landslide, and the DUmmies will be utterly unprepared for it.

Three random places or three common places DUmmies claim that their bouncies occur?

Ya, right. Five total strangers walked up and vented their political views.

So, I was in Bed, Bath & Beyond the other day. I think I remember this word for word, I've been working on my verbatim memory skills and this wasn't a long conversation. Anyway, they were having a sale on bath towels so I figure I might as well help the economy. Well, I'm standing there deciding what color I want and this sales person comes up and says, "Can I help you?"

I said, "I'm just trying to decide what color I want, it's a great sale."

So she says, "Isn't it? It's a good thing too because the stupid RETHUGS won't sign off on President Obama's plan to save the country and no one can afford anything."

And I said, "Do you really think it's a good idea to talk about politics when you don't know me? For all you know, I could be a Republican. You might lose a sale and I might have to tell your manager you're harassing me with your political bullshit. Who the hell comes up to someone buying towels and talks politics!"

She says, "Well, you're wearing a gauzy dress and Birkenstock's. You shouldn't dress like a liberal. I'm just trying to make friendly conversation!"

So I go, "Next time talk thread counts, plushness, or the weather. Speaking of which, it's hot, this dress is comfortable and comfy shoes are better for power shopping. After this, I'm going to Macy's. I need some Republican high heels."

I was going to ask her what color towels she'd buy so I wouldn't the buy moonbat color of the month. I'm painting my bathroom a really cool gold that has just a touch of green tint. I got it at Home Depot. It's called Grain & it's totally gorgeous.  And I'm doing my trim in white and cabinets in smoky slate. I thought I'd buy a couple of deep aqua towels and a couple of gray ones. I thought the aqua would look good for an accent and if not I'd just give them to my son since he steals them every time he's home.

Anyway, I didn't get a chance to ask because right then a cop jumped out from behind a shower curtain display and wanted to find a bath pillow and candles for his girlfriend. She wandered off muttering something about how happy she'd be to help a union member

I told the checkout lady she better have a talk with her associate as it might be best to keep politics out of the bath section.

It's a good thing we weren't in the kitchen section because I would've stabbed her with a sterling silver pickle fork.

a democracy and some sense of fairness.

Can anybody tell me where this is in the founding documents.

I remember the Preamble to the Constitution from Schoolhouse Rock a little:

We the people,
In order to form a more perfect union,
Establish justice, insure domestic tranquility,
Provide for the common defense,
Promote the general welfare and
Secure the blessings of liberty
To ourselves and our posterity
Do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Nothing about fairness. Justice, but not social justice (whatever that is). Promote the general welfare but not hand out welfare checks.

I see bouncy season has started.  Nadin told a whopper and now this DUmmie has to add his.  It's something to look forward to as summer winds down.

  IDK if I wanna laugh of cry...that was insane, but it happens a lot..btw I didn't know that comfortable clothes meant you were a liberal?  If so, I'm a liberal fashionista, but when I put on my can of whoop ass and go enter the moonbat cave...I'm donning my leathers and boots since the shit's waist high.

wow talk about strange coincidences, i was in bed bath and beyond as well, I had just finally managed to extricate myself from a shower unit (I had difficulty as my gun belt kept getting stuck) and the young lady who was helping me told me she was glad to be helping a union member after her bad experience of a few moments ago with some guy in a flowery dress and sandals.  Unfortunately for her i was there to serve papers on her and she is now in a small rubber room and wearing a cuddle jacket.

[Skul]

What happened to the adoring crowd chuckling and applauding?
Zero bong for you, young lady!
Go fix it.

   It's almost scarey that you can write a bouncy that well.

[Wineslob]

Judging from what I'm seeing on CNN, Fox and even PMSNBC (holy crap!) the 'Rethugs" are getting out the word that your Golden Boy is screwing the pooch.

A lot of us have been reading them for so long that we have the template down pat so it makes them easier to write.

[delilahmused]

Exactly! But the DU ones have all gone down in quality since bouncie ball. I wish some of them would go back and read hers so they know the formula as well as we do. We've provided the template. And they always forget the cop. That's one of my favorite parts.

I agree. No cop and bushes just sinks a bouncy. Skinner gotta start getting a better quality of dummies.

Hey, nadin had an admiring crowd gather in a parking lot. What's that? Chopped liver?
