GWB, Lyndon LaRouche, and Social Security
On my way to work this morning, the LaRouche followers were out in droves. One of them tried to give me their litter du jour, and said "George Bush is going to raid your pension fund." At first not realizing they were LaRouchites, I contemplated taking the info. Then saw LaRouche's name on it. I told the guy, "The only bigger asshole in politics than Bush is LaRouche." I got a blank stare.

That's all.

3. Yeah, that's the sense I got from the guy.
If the light hadn't changed, I wonder what he would've said. :shrug:

2. IMHO you are wrong in this case
The more ppl talk down about * plans, the better it is for everybody.

We know Wall St is planning a big ad buy, and we need all the help we can get.

4. You may be right, but MY reading the guy's litter
wasn't going to do us any good. A lot of other people DID take it.

5. I once told a Larouche
I once told a Larouche outside the DMV in Tysons "Sorry, not interested, I'M SANE!!" I felt smug while he sputtered,


then I tried to open a door by pulling that was clearly marked "PUSH."

OOPS.

DOH!

6. if our Democratic "leaders" were doing half as much as Larouche is
We'd all be better off. It would be much easier to write off Larouche as a wingnut if anyone else bothered to pass out litertature to middle class people about how their Social Security is being stolen. But no, we can't do that obviously.
