Just got a call from the LaRouche campaign......
I answered and she asked for me personally. I asked why she was calling ME (I have been a registered Dem for more than 30 years. She asked if I knew our economy was "blowing up before our very eyes". I said "yes, I was aware that it was before, but I am sure Obama is on the right track that's why I voted for him and will again if he runs, thank you good bye."

3. I see those LaRouche crackpots outsidet the post office occasionally
They set up their card tables and beckon P.O. customers in order to spew their "impeach Obama" venom.

Thanks for your snappy comeback -- I'll keep it in mind for the next time I am accosted.

4. Good God, how old is LaRouche? I have a feeling he's in a
home someplace drooling all over himself.

10. Based on the "platform" paper he wrote in 2004, I'd say he's been there a while. n/t

5. The LaRouchies need to give it up.
It's time to draft George Noory and Jeff Rense for 2012.

9. Noory and Rense are Larouchies (or LaRouche-like)?
I guess I'm not that familiar with them.

11. I don't know if they are LaRouchies or not,
but they are definitely crackpots. Just give them a Google, you'll see.

6. Ask them where they were...
...when Glass-Steagle was repealed...or when Bushie handed out his ginormous tax breaks for "his base"...or when Bushie started his "avenge my father" war in Iraq...or when Dick and his Army unleashed the derivatives monster?

Why no hyperbolic phone calls then?

Crickets...

7. I got robo-called from Dick Morris
Polite young man comes on, asks if I will listen to a 45 second recording and then answer one question. The recording was Dick Morris, reaching out to me as a "leading conservative in your community" and saying he had written the most important book of his life, explaining why 2010 was America's last chance, and that if "we" could regain control of Congress there were 157 Obama laws that would be overturned such as the death panels, illegal takeover of the banks, etc. He asked me to answer the one question poll and receive a free, signed copy of his book. When the guy comes back on, he asks if I strongly agreed, agreed, etc with the message. I told him it was the biggest bunch of lies and hysteria I had ever heard. He thanked me and hung up.
I'm sure the free book came with a pitch to donate to his organization.

8. LaRouche has predicted economic disaster for 40 years
So they are like a stopped clock.
