Back in the 70's when phone companies were monopolies.

Had the Bell telephone logo and that phrase.

"We don't care, we don't have to. We're the phone company"

This was on SNL:

could ever reach those communities. I think a lot of his supporters feel poorer than they should be, but that is not quite the same as being impoverished.

He kept most of the Bush tax cuts - and almost nobody cares. That includes most Democrats and most DUers. That is, permanent tax cuts that favor the rich, and very few see that as a major betrayal.

Ya know.... maybe the Iraq invasion was not all that bad? Maybe we can do another one?

The drug wars and imprisonment? Well, not me.

Global Warming? I live way above sea level.

As long as we fight them over there, we don't gave to fight them here. Get your kids ready to sign up.

And maybe Obama was wrong about big money influencing elections? We sure voted for the big money candidate again.

And, ya know, maybe we really don't need all that extra stuff like free education for all, hometown jobs, and a clean energy future?

The people have spoken, dammit, all 25% of democrats and most of them said "No progress, the same old same old is fine."

Not to gloat too much but my county voted 8 to 5 for Bernie. That's why I live here. Duh!
