No they don't. They go for the loud shiny object. As in: CONS who throw hissy fits and

talk smack and break as many rules as they can find.

I'm SICK AND TIRED of being nice, and playing nice, and following rules. This isn't tea time with Aunt Tilly. This is WWF. And the sooner we all recognize AND embrace that, the sooner we'll start winning where it counts, again. Give me ruthless ANY day of the week. Any thing less simply guarantees we'll be run over. Again.

Welcome to DU, minstrel76.

On a day like this, I'm kinda at a loss for words. But NOT at a loss for resolve.

I love this country too much to give up on it. But I've noticed I have to tell myself that - even have to start DEMANDING that mindset of and to and from myself - a lot more often these days - to keep my spine in place. This place helps me avoid becoming completely discouraged, because it reminds me that I'm not alone in my thinking.

Take a number.

FUCK everyone who still thinks "both sides the same! The SAME! NO Difference!"

HOW anybody can still believe that, by now, is beyond me. But The Stupid is strong with too many of our fellow citizens.

I've got a few.

Despicable. Deplorable. Disgusting. Disgraceful. Detestable. Dismal.

Six for starters. But I sure can keep going... That's just the D's.

I Love Your Work, Nance.

YOU are a DU treasure.

WAY too many chances.

WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY too many chances.

I've run outta chances, myself. Did so long ago, actually.

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.
