we of the left, happily join our comrades the GLBT and Women under the bus
not because we like being under the bus, but because we appreciate the fine company.

:)

22. i guess for some loyalty to Obama trumps other concerns. I hear
Edited on Thu Dec-24-09 06:42 PM by jonnyblitz
your fellow teachers in the DU education forum have a different opinion. I was told the education forum and the GLBT forum are similar in their anti-Obama sentiment here at DU. of course there are exceptions to the rules such as yourself. Hell, many gays vote republican

28. You better be reading up on Obama and public education
He is extremely anti-public schools and anti-teacher.

5. How many times can they stuff me under there?
As a Wiccan, Bi-Sexual, Female, Lefty, I am just screwed.

25. That means they'll torture you.
They'll put you under there for being bi-sexual, then, take you out long enough to smack you around some.

Then, they'll put you back under the bus for being Wiccan, then take you out long enough to smack you around some more.

Then, put you back under the bus for being a woman, then they'll take you out long enough to smack you around some more.

Then, they'll put you under the bus for being a Lefty, then take you out long enough to smack you around some more.

Then they'll tell you how HARD they are fighting for you and ask for your money to get them reelected. They will want you to vote for them and if you point out they aren't really working for you, they'll laugh in your face and ask you where you think are going to go.

The minute they get re-elected again, back under the bus you go.

Rinse.

Repeat for infinity.

I think I'm starting to get the hang of their plans for those of us under the bus now. I don't like it.

9. Please tell me that thing runs on biodiesel
If I have to be under a bus, at least let it be somewhat environmentally friendly.

18. When enough of us have been thrown under the bus
