The better predictor for what will happen to this new money is what already happened, not what's supposed to happen.steevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12620735494191381865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-50515509838213266032016-04-18T16:54:59.719-05:002016-04-18T16:54:59.719-05:00Gorgon Matalin & her Eel-Headed Husband have m...Gorgon Matalin & her Eel-Headed Husband have made quite a tidy sum, haven't they, being the self-declared Queen & King of Both Siderism. I guess they get a gold star from the 1% or something.<br /><br />Here's something though:<br /><i>The party is going to blow up anyway. It's been blowing up for a long time, because it's not representing -- has not been representing conservatives. So, all the conservatives are angry -- not all the angry people are conservatives....</i><br /><br />I can't be bothered to read the rest of it, but OTOH, Matalin is right. The R party really has NOT been representing so-called "conservatives" in a very long time. Mainly Rs just toss lots of red meat at their authoritarian base, who respond like little Pavlov dogs and get all excited about being racist bigoted sexist douchebags. But I digress. Neither party is doing anything close to a good or competent job in terms of really working for the common good of all concerned.<br /><br />But let's face it, the R Team does the worst job. It's simply: we're here to be obstructionist assholes and keep kicking the Blah in the White House. Where has it gotten anyone? Nowhere fast.<br /><br />No the R party isn't really representing "conservatives," but it's highly likely that the Gorgon didn't mean it that way.

The rest go to the DNC and 32 state parties across the country to help elect Democrats up and down the ballot, including local and statewide candidates."</i><br /><br />Not to say that's the normal case, but Clooney was absolutely telling the truth about this one.Yastreblyanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335868257729063363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-31399714640813816782016-04-18T15:26:01.176-05:002016-04-18T15:26:01.176-05:00By the way, if Hugh Hewitt is indicted for sodomy ...By the way, if Hugh Hewitt is indicted for sodomy with a non-consenting juvenile goat, do you think he should be fired?Yastreblyanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335868257729063363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-41068961951427289892016-04-18T07:25:17.249-05:002016-04-18T07:25:17.249-05:00When it comes to funding even a basic, bare-bones ...<i>When it comes to funding even a basic, bare-bones Liberal media infrastructure to push back against the Hate Machine behemoth it's Mainstream media enablers, there are no George Clooney fundraisers.</i><br /><br />"I am not a member of any organized political party.
