4. They are trusting on anger
but by blaming the unemployed for being modern-day welfare queens they are making sure some of their followers go... no, NOT me. I will vote fer them damn lib'ruls this time.

Hell Rush calling them a new Welfare Class and Entitlement class might have just had his Father Coughlin moment. At least I can hope.

10. You know, I'm "unemployed"
oh sure, I got a shitty "part-" time job after being edged out of my degreed career of 20+ years. No benefits. "Part-time salaried" which really means I work for less than minimum wage. Respect from my employer? Hah.

Yeah, repugs. Unemployment is great. No benefits - health coverage (individual plan), retirement, vacation. Spend all day trying to sell my 55 year old self to people who aren't interested. Sure. I chose this, and I'm lovin' it...

6. I am so P**D off about --
the fact that (and we KNOW this is intentional) on a day when the jobless extension passed AND Obama signed Wall St. reform, guess what is taking the headlines? Yah. The Sherrod debacle. I for one am 100% certain this was the plan. I am livid.
