    The gap between the wealthy and the middle class has kept expanding and it seems that those few who benefit just aren???t ever satisfied, always wanting more. They look at the poor and the declining status of the middle class and accuse anyone wanting help as promoting liberalism and they offer that their own success doesn???t have anything to do with their abuse of power but rather is the natural result of conservative philosophies. When checking the facts, we see something different as is clearly demonstrated by what has happened on Wall Street, in the financial industry, so many times in corporate America and in general, where those with power and influence take advantage in arrogantly flaunting unchecked greed, self-indulgence and gross dishonesty. The real problem is that they have been encouraged, condoned, excused and even helped by politicians who they then support, contribute to and promise after office compensation (kickbacks) to. It doesn???t have anything to do with conservatism versus liberalism, which is the subterfuge they hide behind, but rather it is a blatant abuse of power always for money with the politicians being co-conspirators. They simply treat the American people as if they think everyone is stupid and easily manipulated.

    Right now we are hearing a lot of rhetoric from many Republicans who strongly tout conservatism, rationalize all of what the Bush-Cheney administration did and try to fault the Obama team as being too liberal. Their actions, in contrast to the deception they offer, really tell a different story. In remembering the last eight years we recall their lying about: the value of tax cuts for the wealthy; privatizing Social Security; bringing drugs back into the USA as being unsafe; Global Warming as not being a problem; the value of unchecked deregulation; the allowing of massive exportation of American jobs and taxes; and on and on always benefiting Special Interests and a select few. We saw their deception in saying they were keeping America safe while actually focusing on Iraq and ignoring pre-9/11 warnings, in taking resources from Afghanistan to initiate the falsely justified Iraq War, in manipulating reporting on both wars, in unchecked spending with favored vendors for the wars and for Homeland Security, often providing limited value, in departing from American values and Geneva convention to authorize abuse and torture of prisoners, thereby putting our troops more at risk, in trying to sell our port security to Dubai Ports, and again on and on significantly benefiting a few and always with arrogance and an unconscionable, self-serving sociopathic mentality. All of these actions were totally and stubbornly supported by the Republican Party who now offer no apology or any promise to correct but rather only rhetoric to disguise and justify a return to more of the same.

      (continuing above with last paragraph)

      As an ex-registered Republican, a moderate conservative, I think we really need a strong and responsible Republican Party to provide choice, balance and honest competition. This is not possible with their current mentality and focus, with their loyalty only to a small segment of the American people who greatly benefit from their actions as the majority gets only apathy, the costs and an abundance of subterfuge. It isn???t about conservative versus liberal; it isn???t about single issues used to excite passion and manipulate while they quietly pursue their own agenda; it is about having honesty and a sincere and responsible focus on benefit for all of the people. It is now really up to the voters to diligently see through the deception and to demand better, to never accept the rhetoric offered only to cover the self-indulgence and the rationalized drastic neglect!

    Well Kool-Aid Kids...The numbers are coming...I guess, once again...I get to say...I TOLD Y"ALL SO!!!!

    An estimated 1 million Americans participated in at least 1,000 tea parties, according to reports by organizers tabulating the nationwide numbers, with documented protests held in 50 states.

    Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform told WND, "The Obama administration has awakened a sleeping giant."

    Tax Day Tea Party national event coordinator Amy Kremer told WND she has confirmed that more than 850 parties took place. She has at least 100 more reports in her e-mail inbox that have not been posted.

    Asked how many people attended the events, she responded, "I would estimate it at over 1 million. I'm waiting on more numbers to come in from organizers right now. I can tell you it is absolutely over 750,000 right now."

    The largest protests occurred in Atlanta, Ga., with 15,000 participants. As many as 10,000 protesters participating in Sacramento, Calif., and Overland Park, Kan., according to data compiled by Americans for Tax Reform on more than 207 tea parties.

    And Kids...this is just the beginning...I can hardly wait till July 4th...Gonna be some fireworks...

    NOBAMA!!!

      If it was a million participating in this tea thing, it was the same million who did not vote for Obama. Bunch of naggers! How do you think we will pay for this mess we're in anyway?

                  HR-1) I'm not a "Liberal" as you keep labeling me. I have posted many times before that I am not. 2) This Chipmunk name calling, you started it with Alvy because of his name. It's demeaning to him and you refer to anyone who supported Obama as one. Think about that. 3) What valuable discussions have you been a part of of late? Chipmunk, NoBama, freakygeek? The big Tea party "a million attendance" that wasn't? Your latest valuable info is the new one you posted that Obama is covering up even more and that someone has been murdered to make certain the truth about his birth cert. never becomes known. Your earlier discussions have been of faux birth certificate, calling the President of this great country, "a crook and a fraud" and of course the old Larry Sinclair smear. So, yes I can see your contribution to valuable discussions. You say my discussions are boring, too sweet, and I dodge and avoid your questions. I may not contribute much to the valuable discussions but at least I don't post lies. HR- you really need to stop believing everything Rush and Hannity say!

                    Well if you aren't a liberal...then you need to do some soul searching...PrezBo-Zo is a leftist ,as his newest buddy, Hugo...PrezBo-Zo is a classically trained Communist...if you don't know this...then you are very ill-informed...Birth-Certificate issue?? Very valid issue, that is getting bigger, not going away...If you would ever debate instead of dodge...you might learn something......Sinclair "smear"?...Still an ongoing accusation...Sinclair is still sticking to his guns...and has a book that is due for release soon....Larry is the one who was smeared...and Donald Young is still DEAD.....As for the "cover-up" you mentioned...The story is from the Washington Times...The deceased was the Feds, "key witness"...Coincidence??? Very doubtful...The Rezko deal is still not over...Blago deal still not over....Tea Party's attendance was in excess of 800,000...Your "posse" is using early preliminary figures...There were over 800 protests...and y'alls numbers reflect a small fraction of the events...but why so upset...Isn't the right to protest an American right???...II guess only if your a liberal....

                    've said long ago...I'll discuss anything...but...at the other persons level....Chipmunk poop gets Chipmunk poop back.

                    AND...the bottom line is this....It isn't just me your Chipmunks attack...it is EVERY dissenting voice...many who try to be non-confrontational...BUT...Immediately, The Chipmunks intimidate, threaten, mock, and try to trivialize them all.....I level the playing field...Don't agree...I have quite a few "posts" saved....I'll be more than happy to "jog your memory" if you need it....

                    Want to discuss ISSUES? Don't lie...No you don't cause then PrezBo-Zo's commie nature is in full view....He is going to do more deficit spending in 6 months...than every prior POTUS COMBINED...He plays kiss-kiss with our sworn enemies...he goes to Europe and APOLIGIZES for the U.S....and where is that stimulus??? or the Transparency??? Bills pushed through before the Legislation can even read them.... Y'all are AFRAID of issues...hence... they the Kids instead throw CHIPMUNK POOP and discuss sweet nothings among yourselves.....emphasis on NOTHINGS...

                    BTW...PrezBo-Zo is PLUMMETING in approval...By fall he will be in the negative....GUARANTEED...cause...he is a CROOK and a FRAUD....

                  Sorry, HR, that's the consequence of the printed word. Now, stop bothering Pia - who has facts and book knowledge and big words that always rile your drawers.

      • Posted By: paproudmom @ 04/21/2009 2:32:41 PM

        Actually Pia there was 571/2 million who did not vote for Obama give or take a few hundred thousand. Anyone of which who has the right to protest if they disagree with the current regime. Just as those who protested Bush were within their rights. I don't see why people get so upset with American Citizens disagreeing with Obama. It is still a free country, at least so far.

        • Posted By: Pia1981 @ 04/21/2009 2:53:09 PM

          Paproudmom-In my comment, I was not referring to the millions of Americans who did not vote Obama.My reference was to the one million who supposedly attended the Tax Tea Party..turned out, it was not a million..from the info I've seen, it was not even 100 hundred thousand. If you are interested, 40YearR posted here a list of the attendance number by state. List is posted twice for your to find.

          American citizens have every right to protest against Obama or any other president. I never said we didn't. I never said I was upset about the Tax Tea party. In return, I have the right to protest the lies and made up numbers of the Tea Party show that are posted here against Obama. One good protest deserves another!

          Regime? Is this what you feel is the Obama Administration? Just asking.

            Hi Pia, You only saw the first half of my post because the thread got broken. The realistic number is around 300,000,
            many in groups of less than 500. Wowie!

            The only places you will see exaggerations like a million are the self-promoting kinds of sites.

            Realistic numbers can be found at FiveThirtyEight.com, the group that hit the presidential and all Congressional elections amazingly accurately. They keep updating.

          paproudmom-

          The discussion has been about the exaggeration of the numbers at those 'protests'. No one is upset. It is the delusion that these events were somehow significant that is amusing to us. It is the delusionals who have been posting their exaggerated numbers, and we have been laughing at them. No one should take themselves or this pathetic sideshow so seriously as to think that it 'upsets' anyone.

      • Posted By: 40YearR @ 04/18/2009 10:48:07 PM

        There were big trumpets about how many participated in Sacramento, but typical exaggerations. And you're right, they're just the remnants of that shrinking, election losing minority anyway. It's really driving them buggy.

        • Posted By: HolyRoller @ 04/19/2009 2:03:15 AM

          For example, in Sacramento, Calif., a sea of red, white and blue U.S. flags waved above a large crowd that surrounded the Capitol and spilled into city streets. Visitors arrived in yellow school buses from surrounding cities.

          Guests at the Sacramento rally included Michael Reagan, Rep. Tom McClintock, singer Lloyd Marcus and Fox News' Neil Cavuto.

          "In the 27 years since I came to this building, I have never seen a protest this large," McClintock said. "The silent majority is no longer silent."

          "It's unreal. It's beyond my imagination," Sacramento event planner Mark Meckler told WND. "I can't imagine anything better than this."

            Here is what FiveThiryEight had to say about those 'massive' crowds. These are the guys who correctly called the presidential campaign and every Congressional campaign as well.

            http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2009/04/how-many-attended-tea-parties.html



            Below is a VERY long (but far from comprehensive) list of crowd size estimates at today's Tea Party protests across the country. I've tried to take estimates provided by reporters or police officials only, rather than estimates provided by the organizers or attendees themselves, although surely this is an imperfect science. I've also tried to avoid taking any data from explicitly partisan (including left-leaning partisan) news sources. Collectively, these reports account for an attendance of 111,899.

            Denver, CO - 5,000
            Olympia, WA - 4,500 (average of two estimates)

            Naples, FL - 3,000 (two events)

              You are posting "early returns"...I missed Atlanta on your numbers...they had 20,000...but for your reading pleasure...here are some other sources....

              ---Pajamas TV has been tabulating attendance data for the tax day tea parties since they began. By the evening of Thursday, April 16 that number had reached 541,568. The latest numbers are available at www.pjtv.com along with breakouts of the top events, top states, and a map view (http://www.pjtv.com/?cmd=map) of attendance by state. A PDF file detailing tea party attendance by location is available at http://tinyurl.com/teapartyattendance.

              The numbers are based on 40 percent or 350 of the 879 events registered in the PJTV database. The numbers came to Pajamas TV directly from the field and include accounts from organizers, police, and citizen reporters. "The top 40 events represent about 257,000 attendees and our last 20 reports average about 1,000 per event. It's highly possible that the total attendance number is between 800,000 and 1 million,""Simon noted.

              TOTAL U.S.-278 events attendence-475,820

              ---http://libertarianrepublican.blogspot.com/2009/04/near-final-count-for-tea-party.html
              FiveThirtyEight Political Blog has taken on the gigantic job of tallying up all the numbers of all the Tea Party Protests all over the country. Revised number 311,000 from 350 "parties" reports still coming in.

              ---Michelle Malkin is reporting "over 800 Protests" nationwide.

              ---World Net Daily is now reporting well over 1 million Tea Party Protesters nationwide at 850 different rallies. And this is before a final count is in. Tea Party central reports at least over 100 outstanding reports from smaller rallies across the country still waiting to be tallied.

              ---http://www.dailyuprising.com/blog/dailydissent/numbers-game/
              (Last Update on April 18, 2009):
              Overall Tax Day Tea Party attendance reports range from 500,000 to 1 Million.

              I could go on...but...like it or not...this is the beginning of a massive protest movement....MSM will cover these...They are not going to have any choice.....

                "20 reports average about 1,000 per event." And then the numbers drop to a few hundred and less.

                Your own self-trumpeting sources start at 311,000.

                Kind of like Rush claiming he had 20,000,000 listeners as early as '95.

                Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the museum of recent repig history. Please see just below an example of the paranoid hate relic " CornHolyO ", an excellent example of the typical conspiracy theorist, end is near type. This breed found themselves all too often disappointed. as NOTHING they ever "predicted" came to be, their delusional state brought forth some of the most "creative" fantasies about what would happen if the Democrat Obama won. The utter desperation with which this common relic of the past tries to spread fear is at best pathetic, on average tragic. The common paranoid repig relic will continue to try an undermine through false accusations and outright lies, in a desperate attempt to CLING to the politics of the past, politics of fear and hate. Don't be alarmed however, nearly ALL repigs have been rendered harmless as of 11/04/08. The Democrat Obama essentially neutered them by running a campaign of honesty, character, dignity, virtue, hope, and optimism. All these things are like poison to the common repig and as a result the repig party has been shaken to it's core, and now forced to either redefine it's self or forever remain a party of the past.

                Next we'll see "The Hall of Hannity" be sure and hold your nose as this place reeks of fear, hate, lies, racism, and propaganda.

              True. Your list does not include, to just use one state, Nevadas Las Vegas [ 1000-1200 protesters], Elko Nv.[ 200-300 protesters], Reno[ between 700-800 protesters], Wendover [ 60-100 protesters],Winnemucca[ 50-75 protesters], and so on. [figures culled from the Las Vegas Sun-Journal, Elko Daily Free Press, and Reno Gazette-Journal all for Apr.16,2009]

              Thus over 2,000 protesters were missed in just one state. Factoids must be based on total reports by all state press agencies. It is laborious, but if one takes ''April 15-16,2009'' and goes to every single last newspaper in America at 2,388 dailies, a more comprehensive number of protesters reveals itself. And it will clearly show that no,FOX cannot be in three to five thousand locations on a nationwide basis at once, Hannity settling for Atlantas protest and Beck with Austins.

              Are these figures impressive? I'd say they're reasonably impressive. Then again, 111,899 isn't much more than the number who attend a typical University of Michigan football game or who attended a single Barack Obama rally in Portland, Oregon last year.

              But, the list is far from complete. This covers 126 rallies, whereas the most common figure I've seen is that there were about 750 such protests nationwide -- about six times more than we've accounted for.

              So, can we simply multiply the estimate by six to estimate the overall number of attendees across the country, which would imply that about 670,000 tea-baggers?

              That strikes me as pretty bad idea, because there is a statistical bias in which rallies are reported upon -- more successful rallies in larger areas are liable to draw more reporters, and thereby show up in news feeds, etc. Although there are a few large rallies (Atlanta, for example) where there aren't yet hard numbers to account for, I'd imagine that most of the "missing" protests in the long tail drew relatively small numbers -- 20, 50, 100, 200 people. My hunch is that the overall attendance figure nationwide is probably something like 250,000, but that's just a guess.

              The other weird thing about these numbers is how little correlation there seems to be between the size of the rally and the size of that city's population -- the Olympia, Washington event drew about 20 times more people than Philadelphia's; twice as many showed up in Baxter, Arkansas as in Boston. These rallies appear to be drawing disproportionately from rural areas, which is one reason why, although the cumulative attendance figure is impressive, there doesn't appear to have been any one single place where the protesters gathered (say) 15,000 people together.

              WHOOPIE!!!!!! WE ARE SO MANY!!!!!!

        For example, in Sacramento, Calif., a sea of red, white and blue U.S. flags waved above a large crowd that surrounded the Capitol and spilled into city streets. Visitors arrived in yellow school buses from surrounding cities.

        Guests at the Sacramento rally included Michael Reagan, Rep. Tom McClintock, singer Lloyd Marcus and Fox News' Neil Cavuto.

        "In the 27 years since I came to this building, I have never seen a protest this large," McClintock said. "The silent majority is no longer silent."

        "It's unreal. It's beyond my imagination," Sacramento event planner Mark Meckler told WND. "I can't imagine anything better than this."

    Political Wire: Many Republicans Would Vote for Obama Over Palin

    A new Public Policy Polling survey has some interesting findings concerning Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R): While 76% of Republican voters have a favorable opinion of her, 21% say they would rather vote for President Obama if she became the Republican party presidential nominee in 2012.

    In a head-to-head match up, Obama would beat Palin, 53% to 41%.

    The survey also shows Obama beating Mike Huckabee, 49% to 42%, Newt Gingrich, 52% to 39%, and Mitt Romney, 50% to 39%.

    BOOK YOU, HOLYROLLER! AND THE REST OF YOUR RIGHT-WING SELF-RIGHTEOUS IGNORANT BUFFOONS. You call yourself a holyroller and yet can't stop putting other people down. In the book of James,(in the Bible, holyroller), God clearly states that if any man claims to have religion, yet does not control his/her tongue, that religion is worthless....it's in the Bible....but you definitely aren't as "holy" as you wish people to believe. According to the Bible, your religion is worthless. Evidently, you have a very low self-esteem and only find self-worth by cutting at people. We Democrats are not playing the victim card; NO USA CITIZEN, whether Dem or Repub, asked to have their livable wage jobs outsourced because of the worthless deregulation/anti-worker policies if the Bush regime. In fact, the GOP is notorious for licking grass with corporate-greed, letting the working class USA citizens be drove down to a poverty level wage, and then FALSELY blaming the Democrats for their own insidious agenda that flushed the USA economy down the sewer. None of us wanted to be Bush-wacked, dickhead!

  • Posted By: NWDickG @ 04/24/2009 5:56:30 PM

    Dishonesty is the infection that is a pre-cursor to all the other sickness. Dishonesty simply allows easy rationalizing of all the other evils and when there is the belligerent and gross dishonesty that has been arrogantly demonstrated by Bush-Cheney, then, as we have seen, the rest becomes extreme too. There are some who now offer that Bush-Cheney kept America safer and that the Obama administration should refrain from disclosing information that directly criticizes them. The answer is that position simply ignores the facts and attempts to suppress the truth which then serves only the dishonest and their deceptive efforts.

    Some of the facts: Bush-Cheney ignored warnings before 9/11; they falsely justified attacking Iraq greatly benefiting Special Interests and a select few; they took the needed resources from the unfinished effort in Afghanistan; they advocated selling America???s port security to Dubai Ports; they over spent with favored vendors for minimal return in the Wars and with Homeland Security; they jeopardized our troops when authorizing mal-treatment of prisoners and departure from Geneva Convention rules; they falsely stated that the Iraq War would be paid for with Iraqi oil money; they repeatedly and boldly lied to the American people, to the world and criminally to congress ??? regarding the status of the ongoing wars, Global Warming, bringing American drugs back into the country, privatizing Social Security, that squelching the ???wiretapping without warrant??? story in an election year was done for national security, and really on and on always benefiting the few. It should be obvious from any rational and objective viewing that Bush-Cheney used their offices and America???s resources in the pursuit of a private agenda to benefit Special Interests and a select few, who returned overt and covert support, substantial contributions and promises for after office (kickback) compensation, all while the average American was given only apathy, the costs and an abundance of subterfuge.

    To those who wish to condone, ignore and cover over all of that, I say that in their own dishonesty they are co-responsible and co-conspirators, setting the stage for it to happen again. The value gained in exposing and condemning all of it isn???t only in having a justified apology to the American people and to the world but even more importantly in declaring that it will never happen again. To forgive is Godly but to ignore and encourage corruption is stupid and even criminal.

    The Republican Party really needs to purge itself (if they don???t, the voters should) of the people and mentality that hide behind conservative rhetoric while deceptively pursuing self-indulgent goals that benefit only the few and then they need to become honestly, diligently and conscientiously concerned for and representative of all of the people. Maybe then what they have to say will once again have some credibility.

    There is something that concerns me, it isn't the taxes so much as it is the out of control deficit. Yeah, I know it started under Bush. Bush was hardly an ally for limited government. Then Obama comes in and exacerbates the problem even more. Obama talked repeatedly during the campaign about "no earmarks." Then when the omnibus budget is passed it has thousands of earmarks. The Dems and Repubs are both guilty in this. I have made it no secret that I do not like Obama. Primarily because he campaigned on all of these lofty virtues that were impossible to live up to. And like I thought, Obama is a typical politician who lives up to the status quo. What infuriates me more is how the idiotic network "MSNBC" with their rabid pit bulls in Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow attack the "teabaggers." Olbermann, as usual, spends half his time attacking Fox for fanning the flames of the teabaggers. Granted there may be some truth in waht Olbermann says, but it is so obvious that since Olbermann gets his tail kicked around in the ratings this is why he rants on about Fox. If Olbermann had any credibility, he would quit looking like a jealous 6-year-old and worry more about the massive deficit. Not that Bill O'Reilly is always so great. O'Reilly spends so much time hawking books it is ridiculous. But as long as two morons such as Olbermann and Maddow are on the Obama side, that gives me more reason to dislike Obama.

    And no mention of the near absent media hype we saw with ANY protest against Bush. Shocking. Cindy Sheehan had cameras rolling 24/7 for months despite the "low turnout" (i.e. one). I also found it ironic and bemusing to see who the naysayers were...yes, the usual suspects of pro-Obama media pundits. Perhaps conservatives and libertarians and alike are not the type to organize well, given their underlying nature to want to go it alone. But when any hodgepodge amount of anarchists, professional protesters, and rabid environmentalists gather, it never fails to capture "everyone's" attention if there's a Republican in the White House. Yet, when thousands of fairly middle-of-the-road-but angry taxpayers wish to vent their frustration with a government hell-bent on spending us into oblivion, no, apparently that's not newsworthy; or just too lame to cover. When Bush exploded the budget, it was the responsibility of "journalists" to remain vigilant; now, when the budget is in the stratosphere, we only hear of stories of the down-trodden and how more help (i.e. government intervention/spending) is needed.
    And folks still doubt the media bias...amazing.

    HOLYROLLER=IDIOT. MEANINGFUL, INTELLECTUALLY STIMULATING CONVERSATION, OR TRYING TO REASON WITH RIGHT-WING IDIOT=0. EVEN THOUGH 95% OF RIGHT-WING LOONIGANS WILL GET TAX BREAKS WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA'S TAX PLAN....IDIOTS STILL CAN'T COMPREHEND THE IDEA THAT THE WEALTHY HAVE TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAX AND NOW WE FINALLY GET SOME JUSTICE WITH TAX BREAKS. IGNORING IDIOTS, PRICELESS.

    The other, bigger problem for Republicans with this bout of shenanigans was that this was a Libertarian grass roots movement that the Republicans tried to steal to show off their strength. The people jeering the Republicans for being a part of the problem were those same Libertarians. The people causing haziness in messaging at the rallies waving gun and abortion signs at a tax protest are the 'low-information' (read: ignorant) voters that follow Republicans around like sheep.

      John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama all die and go to heaven. God looks down from his throne and asks McCain, John, Do you think you deserve to be in heaven?"

      McCain takes a breath and then replies, Well, Lord I think so because I was a great leader and tried to follow the words in your great book." God looks down and then says, "John, "ou can sit to my left side."

      So, McCain takes his seat and then God asks the same question to Hillary, "Hillary, do you think you deserve to be in heaven?" Hillary thinks for a second and then replies, Well Lord,I think so because I have been fighting for the rights of so many people for so long." God again looks down says, "You can sit to my right side."

      Finally God turns to Barack Obama and asks, "Barry, do you think you deserve to be in heaven?"
      Obama smiled and replies, "Hey, I think you???re in my seat."

      NOBAMA!!!

    After completing his prescripted "interview" with Dick Cheney, Sean Hanniteabagger asked the former VP if he like to enjoy some teabagging courtesy of Sean Hanniteabagger, FORMER VP Cheney accepted and reciprocated...LMAO!
    OO enjoy teabaggers.

    Yea, seems like the Republicans blew their chance to organize a decent size of people and use them to create a widespread movement for 2012. Too bad for them, I guess. Right now, we've got more important issues to deal with.
    Hopefully we can turn this economy around and actually focus on solving the deeper, systemic issues for why we're in this situation. Obviously bad banking's a good place to start, but there are other issues, like global poverty, that have huge economic and geopolitical ramifications.

    The Borgen Project (www.borgenproject.org) has some interesting insight into addressing the issues of global poverty, something we can remedy easily and sustainably.

    Some interesting figures to ponder:
    $30 billion USD: The annual shortfall to end global poverty.
    $550 billion USD: The annual US defense budget.

    Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the museum of recent repig history. Please see just below an example of the paranoid hate relic " CornHolyO ", an excellent example of the typical conspiracy theorist, end is near type. This breed found themselves all too often disappointed. as NOTHING they ever "predicted" came to be, their delusional state brought forth some of the most "creative" fantasies about what would happen if the Democrat Obama won. The utter desperation with which this common relic of the past tries to spread fear is at best pathetic, on average tragic. The common paranoid repig relic will continue to try an undermine through false accusations and outright lies, in a desperate attempt to CLING to the politics of the past, politics of fear and hate. Don't be alarmed however, nearly ALL repigs have been rendered harmless as of 11/04/08. The Democrat Obama essentially neutered them by running a campaign of honesty, character, dignity, virtue, hope, and optimism. All these things are like poison to the common repig and as a result the repig party has been shaken to it's core, and now forced to either redefine it's self or forever remain a party of the past.

    Next we'll see "The Hall of Hanniteabagger" be sure and hold your nose as this place reeks of fear, hate, lies, racism, and propaganda.

    It is painfully obvious that "Paul" is Florida Dave.

    Why the name change, "Paul"?

    • Posted By: 40YearR @ 04/21/2009 3:22:59 PM

      No. Floridave now calls himself ToTheRight. Busted him a couple days after he showed up a few days after all Floridave posts were deleted; he made a sex post to another woman poster. Same 'Your Pal' this and that, same words, same claim to 'humor', same style of stalking of Pia, with an 'instituional' memory. If you want to get to know paulejb, check him out at the link in my post about Ace of Spades.

        The writing style is the same, the propensity to derail topics, the endless strawman arguments.

        It's him.
