Poll question: Is it just me, or...

Does the term "prosperity" automatically make you want to puke?

I mean, really, who ever says "prosperity" except some Repuke who is trying to tell you how liberals want to steal all of yours and give it to the "undeserving?" Is the term ever used by anybody else?

Prosperity... lol... f--k you. Take your precious money to the coffin with you and rot in it.

8. As some of us asked Clinton haters: 'What part of 8 years of peace and prosperity didn't you like?'

WASHINGTON, DC–Mere days from assuming the presidency and closing the door on eight years of Bill Clinton, president-elect George W. Bush assured the nation in a televised address Tuesday that "our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over."

6. The word doesn't bother me

In fact, it reminds me of the Vulcan greeting, "Live long and prosper." Nothing reich-wing about that!

11. Prosperity gospel.

For all their bitching about government entitlements, repukes sure have a notion that they are entitled to be wealthy by the mere fact that they are Americans.
