What's odd is that it seems to me not to be acting. He must be convinced that he is better than a common grifter or con man, but he's really worse. People die because of his lies. We could kill the planet because of his lies. <br /><br />We all sometimes have to stretch the truth in our jobs. But I couldn't accept one where I had to do what he does. I'd rather starve and keep my pride.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05630222099564418320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-78396607971126280972014-10-20T10:22:56.508-05:002014-10-20T10:22:56.508-05:00@Driftie Nice touch about the Great White toupee ...@Driftie Nice touch about the Great White toupee adhesive, but don't look down your nose at the good inbred pod-people of Sisterfuck, Vermont. People out west in Ohio think it's all lattes and Volvos, but some weird sh*t goes down up in these mountains-so-green.<br /><br />@Marc As a Christian I am a big fan of facts and evidence and reason and logic, so it has been some weeks since I made my peace with the polling data and accepted that the Senate is almost certain to flip (gotta' hedge like an elwior as there is a slight possibility that everything will line up and we manage to hold on.)<br /><br />Like you I am moving beyond clawing my eyes out with frustration to actively selecting a baseball bat with which to knock heads and teach some people the finer points of political reality. Sabotaging the election in order to force the perfidious Democrats to the left did not work in 2010, did not work in 2000 (thanks a lot, Ralph), did not work in 1980, did not work in 1968, did not work in 1944 (FDR was not in fact the cryptosocialist that ideologues on the left as well as the right pretend him to have been, he won the '44 election on the backs left Republicans and southern racists), did not work in 1800's Russia when it was Czars and Anarchists, did not work in 12th century Florence when it was guelphs and ghibellines, hell it didn't work in early iron age Athens. So tell me why it is going to work this time.<br /><br />The Iron Law of Politics is that the Democrats move left when they win and they move right when they loose. The elwiors want to move the party left? Then make a big show of leftie power by winning elections with your army of loyal volunteers. And f*ck Russell Brand, with a wire brush. Anyone enthused by his what-passes-for-thinking has Moon cheese between his ears.Horace Boothroyd IIInoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-26251934499900255852014-10-20T10:12:29.894-05:002014-10-20T10:12:29.894-05:00Good news!

I'm already seething at the posts now saying, "Well, Democrats deserve to lose!" and the rising BS from some on the Left declaring that we once again should not vote to "send a message". Yeah....that worked so f***ing well in 2010.<br /><br />(Apologies for the cussing, DG. It's just that I'm also frustrated at seeing the Voter ID nonsense not being given the critical attention it deserves.)Marc McKenziehttp://redshoulder.deviantart.com/gallery/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-24374539053593654172014-10-19T20:47:41.144-05:002014-10-19T20:47:41.144-05:00god, does it horrify me to have to, even in small ...god, does it horrify me to have to, even in small measure, agree with Will, especially on a subject where fear mongering from the assholes on the right is rampant!
