This week on Bullshit Mountain (image heavy)

The GOP hates America, that is crystal clear. They and their rich benefactors don't want to govern America, they want to own it.

Meet your new potential landlords...

They have been auditioning for the part.







Are you going to vote in 2014? Or are you staying home and pouting. Wake up America, this is one of the most important elections in our lifetime. Vote as if your life depends on it. Vote for the America you wish for your children.







Silence is not an option, voting is.

We need to keep Obama on that front line with a congress that supports the people. We need him there to continue the work of the people and for the people.

Great graphic that says it all, voting matters. It damn well matters!

because I wanna associate myself with your remarks!

I do indeed believe that Dems need pushing. To get out to vote. They also need to get out there and run on Obamacare not run from it!



In the end if we as a party do not stand up and fight like hell to destroy the Republican party then all is lost.



No reason for all to be lost, if we just stop beating up on the damn Dems trying to make life better for the poor and working and middle class, and call the GOP to account instead, for a change!!!

I don't buy that "attack from the left" bullshit. It smells too much like a ploy to divide and conquer in an election year, and I'm not having it.

for you and many more, thank you so much MADem! We are on the bench and that means we are in the game.

They are sitting in the bleachers calling foul!

"Boo, bad call that was foul ball!"

A (batted) baseball is fair if:

it stops in fair territory before it reaches first or third base (A), or
it hits a base (B), or
bouncing or rolling, it passes first or third base on or above fair territory (C), or
it passes first or third base in the air and makes its first bounce in fair territory (D), or
the baseball is hit so far that it leaves the playing field between the foul poles or hits one of them (both of which types of events are very good for the batter) (E) or
the defense touches it while it is moving on or above fair territory.

Planted by Joe Stalin 60 years ago, with a long term plan to destroy America from within. Wielding vast fortunes built with Commie dollars they are carrying out the politburo's mission; to subvert American Democracy. Gradually they have insinuated their tentacles into every nook and cranny of the American political process, even as they have poisoned our land, air and water. Their fellow travelers have infiltrated every level of electoral office and coopted or crippled regulator. That is a wonderful OP. Absolutely explosive.

The Kochs, strictly for monetary gain, impeded the response to global climate change concerns. They need to be dropped off in the middle of the Sonoran Desert with only the clothes on their backs as punishment for their betrayal to life on Earth.

Let them feel, if possible, what the vulnerable living things around the world are feeling, due, in part, to their selfishness and greed.

Extra rattlesnakes, scorpions and buzzards are on order, at least they will be with their own kind.

Normally I don't rec your posts. This one I will. There are other issues that you and I see from a different angle.

I fight the same things I hope that you do, but you sometimes come from such a conservative view point that I believe it helps enable more of the same from our own party as you are protesting in this post - You cannot fight this fight without fire in your belly and being a bit more radical than you portend and still hope to win the important battles.

More "fire in the belly" and less tolerance IMHO will help us all win.

"Tolerance" as in "believing that our party" doesn't need more pushing. I believe that it's imperative that we push the Dems as hard as we can right now, as much or more than we fight the Republican party and then the really important battles will be won.

So you think my viewpoint is at times conservative? That I have no "fire in my belly"? You don't know me very well. You may want to put me in a mold and label me, yet you are wrong.

First, seeing issues from a different angle is not a bad thing. It's called a discussion.

"Tolerance" as in "believing that our party" doesn't need more pushing. I believe that it's imperative that we push the Dems as hard as we can right now, as much or more than we fight the Republican party and then the really important battles will be won".


I do indeed believe that Dems need pushing. To get out to vote. They also need to get out there and run on Obamacare not run from it! However, your opinion of
I believe that it's imperative that we push the Dems as hard as we can right now, as much or more than we fight the Republican party"
believing that Dems need to be pushed or the "holding their feet to the fire meme" is far more important than cutting the source of the infection (the GOP) then that is wrong.

Doctors go to the source to find the root of the infection and treat it or remove it, so it no longer is a threat to the host. They most certainly do not try to destroy the anti-bodies that are trying to stabilize the infection, so that the host survives.

There are never any positive posts for this Presidents accomplishments, it is never enough for many here. When this President is called a POS on DU and is picked up on RW sites where they laughed and laughed and ridiculed saying this President has lost DU. IMHO that sure as hell is not helping. That is surely divisive!

In the end if we as a party do not stand up and fight like hell to destroy the Republican party then all is lost. IMHO, you fight the wrong people.

I wouldn't think it would be all that complicated but apparently it is. And, that's why I appreciate you and others who are taking the fight to the enemies of our country.. the republicons!

You ol "conservative" you! lol What's next? "authoritarian"?

to make Democratic values visible to our reps.

But I must strongly agree with sheshe's post number 15.

Focusing on slagging our own, particularly this president who deeply wants to accomplish more, but is hamstrung by massive forces of greed, ignorance, hate, a crap media machine and a house full of repuke idiots....doesn't help.

Working to educate on Dem efforts for the People, expose repuke malfeasance and expose the puke $$$$$$$$$$ is the more productive way to go.
