appropriate response to these lunatics. Pretending that Palin, or Bachman, or Trump or any of the other emotionally stunted morons in the clown bus are qualified to run the country is a dangerous game.

themselves. They intentionally try to shape our thinking, manipulating us in a myriad of ways. When we take back control over our government we will need to address them early. They are the most dangerous thing to our movement.

from more than thirty years ago, with whom I just reconnected, is convinced that the media represents "mostly the Democrats" and that she believes that Bush did what he had to do to take down Saddam Hussein. She thinks she has become a "military mom," but she doesn't see the irony in the fact that her son "fought" in a war that occurred so that a handful of people could get richer.

Given a choice between spending a lot of time with her, or trying to help sympatico voters out to the polls, I probably would not spend much time on her.

The Right Wing echo chamber is incredibly effective for convincing so many voters.

They have the advantage because they are willing to lie, misconstrue, and as Mark Twain said, a lie can get twice around the world before truth can get its shoes tied.

but maybe don't think they could keep Trump under control. So they are using him to scare people into voting for their other favorite, H. Clinton.
