I heard that figure by one of our activists after working the polls last Tuesday.

We surely settled for the worst. I'm just disgusted.

1. Just goes to show that fear and hate
Are powerful emotions. And the Tea bagger party and republicans are pros at keeping the agitation up.

They're already targeting Obama with their lies about his trip to India costing $200/million a day. It's not true, but they're repeating it so much on Fucked News shows that the entire right wing base already believes it.

And this is going to continue from now on.

Reality based reporting is just not as exciting for profit based news channels. They want the controversy and lies and Fucked News has pretty much turned all of America into a "reality based show" where there is absolutely no truth on their news show.

But why Americans want fear and anger and hatred as their main course of political discourse is beyond me. :crazy:

3. There was another fine young lad who was a master at keeping his people agitated with fear and hate
Now what was his name... I'm thinking it starts with.... Oh, yeah now I remember:

ADOLPH HITLER

5. "those who refuse to learn from history are DOOMED to repeat it"
Ain't that the truth!

I feel like we're in the groundhog day movie. And the people of this country are actually considering Perry for national office knowing he's as bad, as stupid and as wrong for this country as bush. Yet they are listening to his mouth full of Texas sized bullshit! :mad:

that bringing in the Greens accomplished just what the republicans wanted.

4. Thanks for the post and a sad reminder of how the people lost

"67% of Texans voted for someone else besides Perry in the primaries"

And just look at the hole he has dug for our Grand KS
