You Find This Surprising?

The continuos round the clock coverage of Sarah Palin’s insanity?

Let’s take a moment to remind ourselves...

That almost 60 million Republican Voters thought she should be elected to the Vice Presidency..

More importantly?.. She should be only a heartbeat away from being President of the United States!!

So why are we pissed.. It is good for the Country to be reminded of what Republicans
stand for..

RW blog forum or news cite. Yes I know you have to have a strong stomach.
It is one thing to hear teapublican insanity after it has been predigested by things like Daily Kos, MSNBC or Jon Stewart.
Doing so may fall under the cloud of he said she said. At best it is pre-filtered sewage.
It makes it all too easy simply to dismiss the blither as teapublican insanity.

Occasionally reading a few RW articles and checking out a few forums to watch the echo chamber at work gives proof positive that these people are not just comically insane. They are dangerously hateful misinformed fools hell bent on the destruction of anything they have been told to dislike.

Long story, but I live with a couple of them. Faux Noise goes on as soon as they get up, hell, she leaves the TV on in her room all night. I can hear it through the door when I prepare for work at zero dark thirty. He's like a bizarre caricature of Archie Bunker, sitting on the couch, screaming about OBAMA! add nauseum, whenever the Faux hosts tell him what to be outraged about.

Life sucks.

Like taking the trash out when it's raining, reminds you that rain is wet. This sounds more like being locked in the cabin of a sinking boat.
Hope you have a decent, or at least likable job and do remember to take Uncle Jack fishing now and again.

but I'm just holding on for retirement, which looks like November of this year for me. Current job is OK, but strenuous, and tenuous. I'm working through a temp agency, so a simple phone call ends that gig and puts me on the skids again. Pays OK, but not lucrative.

Oh, and I can't consult with Uncle Jack...I got a little too good at drinking a few years back and had to give it up.

Especially with your thoughts about how it is filtered.. We almost take it for granted and simply pass it off as entertaining lunacy..

However, I think the Dem. Party as whole does a crappy job of pointing out to the electorate, just how serious all this is.... These freaking nuts(Tbaggers) may end up having a huge part in running our country after the Nov. Elections.. Start running Ads God Damn it, which illustrate what these crazed nuts are proposing all over the country... So just because you are running for a position in North Carolina, run some ads of T/Bagger Republicans who are obviously insane from other states.

Show people who vote in the middle just how crazy Republicans have become... Brand them all as extremists who hold dangerous ideas and connect them with Republicans running for office all over the country!!! After all Mainstream Republicans have done a wonderful job nesting with these crazed birds all over the country..

As a matter of fact the nesting concept I just mentioned would be a good place to start..
The Professional advisors for the Dems..should hire an agency to put this kind of an Ad out there.
