It will DEFINITELY happen if too many of us get discouraged and stay home on Election Day.

THAT'S how you let the koch brothers win. You LET them win that way. Without even a fight. Once again, they don't even have to get their hands dirty.

Um.... VOTING, anyone?????

THERE ARE MORE OF US. Yeah, okay, they have all the money. But WE have all the NUMBERS. The NUMBERS OF VOTERS. And WE trump them EVERY TIME...

IF WE JUST SHOW THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!

Dang, that's a good one - dick cheney in a yarmulke!

Sorry about being a dingbat. I usually have something pop up on the computer that tells me it's already been written, but I didn't see any such thing.

Guess it means you're simply welcome welcome welcome!

Ahh reagan. Makes me harken back to some wise words from the late great Bette Davis.

"My mother said you should never say bad things about the dead, you should only say good. Joan Crawford is dead. Good." Joan Crawford was her rival in Tinseltown. Instead of the name Joan Crawford, I would substitute the name ronald reagan. That's really the only thing I can think of that's good about him.

Yes, thank goodness it's a gentle rain. Less of a chance of mudslides this way!

We need that moisture to soak down in, deep, so the dirt doesn't get washed away!

Here in SoCal our weather doesn't seem to have figured out what it wants to do.

Rainy off 'n' on all day today (which for us is a rarity), but it's oddly kinda warm. Windy yesterday (Sunday), and last week it was cold sometimes and warm sometimes. I wore both sleeveless tops and thermal tops last week.

Really lovely!

Thanks for finding this, SummerSnow!

Sorta renews one's hope.

Welcome to DU, Jeff Murdoch!

Glad you're here. I wonder how many times he wants to spit into the wind, thinking nothing will splash back on him? REALLY he seems to be acting rather recklessly. Regardless how he feels about who's in the White House at any given moment, THIS is who the President is. Hell, we had to stomach his preference in the last decade. Show respect, and not grandstanding, Mr. Prime Minister. Try being a little more statesman-like. You've been around long enough to know the proper protocol. MUST you alienate people to make your point? Some of those people are loyal and ardent supporters.

Well, of course it is! "...to step on any living breathing thing that would be an obstacle."

OF COURSE it is! That's the definition of their world-view. That's what they do, or try to do, every day they're in power - anywhere, from Capitol Hill all the way down to Assistant Cowpie Inspector in the "Heart"land.

She never fooled me.

But then again, I'm automatically suspicious of all things republi-CON. Male AND female. Regardless what they might say or portray. They're ALWAYS suspect. I don't trust any of them farther than I can throw my house.

Piddly. It has to hurt pretty bad to get them to change - or even merely think twice.

I knew one attorney who went after police settlements because "if it costs them a police car, it might make 'em think."

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
