Yes. MAN I was bewildered by this one middle-aged woman who was interviewed.

She was getting on in age and, at her age was un-hireable. Not quite old enough yet to collect Social Security. She'd just gotten laid off. She was utterly pathetic, sitting there being interviewed on camera. She was overweight, and wasn't in the best of health, either. So of course, she also lost her health insurance when she lost her job. And even with all of that, she actually said she couldn't possibly vote for any candidate who wasn't wearing a flag pin.



GO FRICKIN' FIGURE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah. Let's stand on that American Flag. SCHMUCK.

And Mrs. Schmuck there with him.

Yeah, I remember that, too. That one was just revolting! What an ASSHOLE!!! Poor Barney!!!

bush was probably drunk or hung over or on something. I never put it past him. And for all the slurred speech I had to suffer through whenever he tried to put two or more sentences together at one sitting, you could not convince me that he wasn't still drinking. Either that or he wasn't drinking anymore by then, but was manifesting the brain damage it caused.

Food Network dude. Earned the "Iron Chef" title during one long competition series on that show.

And he frequently judges another cooking competition show on there - "Chopped." I thought he was pretty cool. Now I'm outraged! I used to like him and his cooking tips. Now he makes me sick to my stomach.

Welcome to DU, ncjustice80!

Glad you're here! How cool is it for me! I get to kick another Elizabeth Warren thread AND say hello and welcome to YOU! And I couldn't agree more with what you posted. The GOP needs to be shoved OUT of power. Locally, Regionally, and CERTAINLY Nationally!

I keep thinking back to a schmuck named justin dart. He was a Southern California industrialist/robber baron, and served under the radar in ronald reagan's Godforsaken administration. justin dart was a member of the infamous "Kitchen Cabinet," this cutesy, VERY exclusive, off-the-books, unofficial, just-ronnie's-pals-at-play gathering of L.A.-based tycoons and business big-shots and other high-rollers and economic predators that advised him on his merry way taking America down the road to Hell. justin dart is the fiend who suggested that, for the sake of the lumber and strip-mining and oil drilling industries and other grand-scale polluters and rapists of our natural wild lands and forests and national parks and other such treasures, we should set aside a mere 100 acres of redwoods - "for the kids." Well, I've got a good corollary to that: we should spare about a 100 acres of republi-CONS. And maybe put them on display. You know, like the man said. For the kids.

It is your right and your civic duty, your obligation as one of the "fees" you pay for citizenship.

It's part of your civic obligation as a loyal patriotic American. It's a right - at least as long as the GOP does NOT hold all the cards - either locally, regionally, OR nationally. If they ever do, many of us will no longer enjoy that right. And I say that as a white woman slowly moving into the older demos. I have two counts against me - advancing age and my gender. Oops - make that THREE. I always vote Dem. I wouldn't put it past them to be looking at a voter like me and trying to figure out how to keep ME from voting in the future. Hell, there ALREADY ARE people on their side of the aisle NOW (including GOP women, forcryingoutloud!!!!) who think women don't deserve, and shouldn't have, the right to vote.

Dementia must be having its effects.

Your taste is in your mouth, mccain. Or maybe up your ass. And we all remember how you hugged up that fucker after his campaign smeared AND slandered you, your WIFE, and your ADOPTED DAUGHTER, who was under-age at the time, and happens to have darker skin than you do. I believe that innocent young girl was from Bangladesh. And what they said about her on behalf of the bush/cheney campaign, was utterly criminal. Even worse was the idiot voters who swallowed that shit whole!

And, btw, HOW MANY fighter jets did you crash with your recklessness back in the day? HOW MUCH have you cost the taxpayers?

LOVE this!!!

"When you see the reactions of the passengers, that really is amazing." That's so cool!
