Video of Americans for Prosperity cheering when Chicago lost Olympics
This is just sad.

For a party that is willing to blindlessly throw billions upon billions of dollars into two wars, yet simultaneously negating the expanding deficit until a point of recession is reached? These people call themselves "patriots"? As I said in a blog a month ago "The Republican party would rather watch this country burn to the ground, so they can say HA! to Barack Obama, then help fix it in any way." That there has been talk of a "bloodless military coo" is beyond me. If anybody needs to stage a coo in this country, it's the conservatives who have had their party hi-jacked by the racist, bigoted, hate mongerers like Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, and Savage. Now I find more hang-ups and hypocricy in the conservative view point then most, but for a small minority of fringe extremist who sure like to bring attention to other peoples mistakes and failures, you'd expect them to acknowledge the insane deterioration of their own base. As a Progressive, I look to the Democratic Party to do what's right for the majority of the country I love. I see the errors in the ways of those I support as well as those I don't. What it comes down to for me is ironically values. Not Christian values, not conservative values, and not even so much as family values. The value of life. The value of your common wo/man. The value that stops at birth in the Republican party. The value of the less fortunate. Teddy Kennedy once said "We are giving assurance to the American families that help is on its way."

4. The "Corporate" between "Americans" and "Prosperity" was always implied.

Americans for {Corporate} Prosperity.

That's who they represent and that's who they're fighting for.

2. They are so irrelevant. And a majority of Americans know it. There will always be a 30% winger wing
Unfortunately, that 30% captures 65% of the TeeVee time.

3. They're cheering their fellow racists at the IOC..
When was the last time Africa hosted an Olympics? I rest my case.

5. A disgusting vile showing from these domestic threats
How are these people not deemed anti-American? If you said anything about the previous President you were called all kinds of names. Now with an African-American in charge it is okay to be against the country. We are living in Bizarro World.
