of course the chances of me ever growing up are close to nil.

... it only applies when one of the criminals (AKA, repigs) is sleeping in the Oval Office.

When anybody to the left of Hitler/Attilla is president, they spew their hatred for everything related to government (except for their gov't checks that allow the Red states to stay afloat)

They love the latter and hate the former.

Franken nailed it about mommy love versus grown-up love. Especially the part about "helping your loved one grow."

It used to be that Republicans would talk about "knee jerk Liberals". It is so ironic that the unthinking automatic reflexive responders these days are the hard conservatives and the tea party sheep and the right wing authoritarian followers.

May be the Senator who most frequently reflects/supports my issue support profile, or whatever the heck you would call it.

We are lucky to have him on our side.

Earlier this week, Senator Al Franken of Minnesota joined Vice President Joe Biden for a campaign event in Minnesota.

"Biden got plenty of support from Minnesota Democrats," PostBulletin.com reports. "Sen. Al Franken praised Obama for pushing the health care law, saying it will help more seniors get help paying for prescriptions and will ensure Medicare's solvency for an additional eight years."

But before Franken was a senator he was a writer on the TV show Saturday Night Live. Then, he famously joked about raping CBS reporter Lesley Stahl.

As New York magazine reported in 1995, from a writing session that the reporter sat in on:

Franken: “And, ‘I give the pills to Lesley Stahl. Then, when Lesley’s passed out, I take her to the closet and rape her.’ Or, ‘That’s why you never see Lesley until February.’ Or, ‘When she passes out, I put her in various positions and take pictures of her.’”

I love Al Franken and supported his campaign financially -- but where is he as a public advocate?

He's completely vanished from the media -- at least outside Minnesota.

I bet they all still wet the bed too.

Not in any way, shape or form. They love the flag, the national anthem, and the word, but hate the people, the environment, the laws, and the government.

Dood, really???

Government was great back in 2001-2007 because they called all the shots. The minute the Democrats won back Congress, government was evil again.

.... they DON"T GOVERN.

I don't know what you'd call what they do when they're in power. But it ain't taking care of business.

They deregulate business, regulate ladies privates, start wars.

Oh, they're busy little beavers, those Republicans.

and the rich ones hate paying taxes.

[center][/center]

are good at throwing tantrums. Just mention the Clintons or paying a fair share of the taxes and let the screaming and foot stamping ensue.

--and who don't want to pay for them either.

I love this man.

I used to listen to him almost every day when he was on Air America. That's when I learned he knew a lot about a lot of things. He's a really intelligent guy with a feel and love for the working class.

Thanks for the thread, Tennessee Gal.

should i know who he is?


just kidding.

If only he would run for president and his vp choice would have the last name 'stein'. Just a thought....

That Liberals Love America the way you love a little sister. You might point out her faults and even criticize her friends but you would never let anything bad happen to her.

Conservatives Love America the way you love half price night at a strip club. All they want is the fantasy and care nothing about what is real and what is a lie. Also they don't want to pay a lot for that lap dance.
