^ Pachidermophiles. They love mud baths but also slinging mud, and spraying spittle on each other and especially others. As a herd (for individualists, they are surprisingly communitarian.) they can devastate entire town-hall meetings.
Mock charges are a favourite.
When Rush speaks, the Right listens…wonder how many have their concealed weapon(s)… The gun lobbyists should love President O, he’s sold more guns than the NRA machine…lol
The cartoon beautifully illustrates a growing problem for the ObamaCare advocates. People listen, don’t believe and reject the plans. The left has had the 15 years since Clinton and the 50 years since FDR/Truman to get the details right and they can’t. Draw your own conclusions.
How much time has the Repubs had? Have they introduced anything at all that doesn’t deny care due to pre-existing conditions? So far, the righties have only denigrated…not very hard to put down something you didn’t think up yourself
Where is it?? Why isn’t the minority leader pasting it on every talk show/news wire??? Maybe that’s why they wanted to “kill this bill and start from scratch”?
Found an old clipping in my mom’s cedar chest. Same old whining from the Republicans in the “teabagger movement”, same “selling us out to the communists” rhetoric- same xenophobia, it was a Republican advertisement posted in the paper—- in November, 1936!!!!
70,000 people at a protest in Washington. 70,000,000 people voted for Obama. As long as the GOP keeps dreaming that they are the majority, the will remain asleep. The teabaggers have a lot of work to do; the biggest protest the could muster would not make the top 10 in protests against Bush, and for all the whining they do about the media, coverage of the teabaggers greatly exceeded the coverage anti-war protests got over the past 8 years, despite the numbers.
Mama Trout - That newspaper clipping would be wonderful to see. The start of FDR and welfare, an entirely new concept that sounded good in theory, but sounded much like the end of self dependance. Communism as an actual practice was first-generation then, and I would think considered a viable threat as to a violent overthrow of a national government. The difference now is that it refers to an economic philosophy, not a potential violent overthrow. It is hard to imagine how such extreme philosophies did unite briefly to defeat the common enemy of Germany. I have a copy of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette from Dec 8, 1941 that my mother saved for me that I pull out occationally. Despite what you say, life was tremendously different then.
Bush in 2000 won 47.9% of voters (less than Gore’s 48.4%)
Bush in 2004 won 50.7% of voters
Obama in 2008 won 52.9 % of voters
so whatever mandate you think Obama doesn’t have, Bush had even less, and it sure didn’t slow him down trying to enact his version of giving to the wealthy and corporate America.

So, if that one guy is the press, who are the other guys? An angry mob? Elephant enthusiasts?
Elephant erotica enthusiasts?

charlie555, and of that number, less than half —59,934,814 –– voted for McCain
believecommonsense over 14 years ago
charlie, 70 million Americans who voted for Obama did not vote for MCain; that would leave, using your figures, 80 million Americans who did not vote.
Is it better? don’t know, just more factual in context
