Maybe its my age.. but I am getting so tired of the leeches..

People who bash 24/7 everything that Democrats and Liberals stand for.. or our organizations.. are the first there with a "save me save me" when the going gets tough.

Rush Limbaugh comes to mind right from the get go.. He has bashed the ACLU unmercifully.. and who was on their doorstep with his hat in his hand when things got tough ..

When the stimulus package was debated.. we did not get one republican supporter.. yet there they are.. standing up taking credit for something they voted against.

In my own state, Chuck Grassly bashed HCR unmercifully and then tries to take credit for it

I am just so sick and tired of it.

1. I couldn't agree more!

They lie through their teeth about things, and the idiots that listen to them believe all of what they say and never question their hypocrisy. When you point out the hypocrisy to them, the get mad and defend their "hero's" no matter what the facts show. It's just amazing how insane some people in this country really are.

3. thankfully, many people see what these people do, and that's why we have mostly Dems in power.

I know there's an 'angry' tide of anti-gov nuts out there that make it look like they're the majority, but if the liberals and mods actually vote in Nov - the wave of teaklanners will be pushed back from gaining too many seats.

It's so sad to see them yell about govt then turn around and scream for help when disaster strikes them... whatta joke.

7. Well you know, it's different when they do it.

After all, they deserve it because they're "producers". Everyone else is a moocher sucking at the government teat. Or something like that.

8. No matter what they do there are no consequences for them

I don't care if they try to take credit for the success of something they fought tooth and nail to destroy. What bugs me is that they're able to do it.
