1. I'd love to know

As I've said here and elsewhere, I.just.don't.get.them. They make absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. They basically appear to be distrught and infuriated about a bunch of things that aren't going on right now that WERE going on during the last eight years of Bushco but, as I recall, they were NOWHERE to be found on a TV dial (though I suspect a lot of them were proud supporters of Buscho and could be found at the RNC). The "teabaggers" or their previous incarnations as "angry white men" and/or "Perotistas" only ever seem to come out of the woodwork and get all kinds of media publicity during Democratic administrations by blaming Democrats for what are largely (if not entirely) the excesses of the previous REPUBLICAN (mis-)administrations with the apparent result of electing more Republicans. Wash.rinse.repeat. :crazy: :banghead:

2. I know, I know. I heard a poltical ad today about the debt the gov't.s stacking up and couldn't

help but remembering hearing a news report about how many millions of dollars we were spending PER DAY in Afghanistan and Iraq during the Bush administration and becoming sick to my stomach. Where were those people then?
