The 1 undeniable TRUTH - (debate with raving Tea-Party lunatic)
Had a Sit Down / Knock Down Drag Out debate with a Frothing at the Mouth Tea-Party Lunatic yesterday. It was amazing how much he was readily able to concede and able to agree with me 100% on.

Why Tax Breaks for the Rich don't create jobs

Going into Iraq was EXACTLY what Osama Bin Laudin wanted the USA to do

Obama is not a Muslim, and is in fact a U.S. Citizen

But at the same time there were undeniable truths that apply to BOTH parties in Washington.

Both parties have been horribly corrupted by Big Money, Wall St Lobbiest and have stopped working in the best interest of the people they were elected to represent - a very long time ago. Trickle Down Economics was Bull Shit designed destroy the working class in America and export our country's industries and wealth out of this country for the betterment of a select few on Wall St.

At the end it was clear - Anger is what drives the Tea-party - not logic

Not unlike the anger at the present state of affairs that exist in the Democratic party

1. Yep, but we're not ready to throw the party under the bus
Hopefully we will continue to progress this party. I hope, still.

4. We had a plan it was called "CHANGE"
and yet Health Insurance Corps watered down HCR

and then Wall St. destroyed all hopes of Financial Services Reform

Are you beginning to see the pattern here.

We elect them to bring about change and then they blame the other side of the isle for blocking change. The common denominator are the 2 sides of the isle bickering back and forth while Wall St. and Multinational Corporations are handed the Keys to the Kingdom. The Little Guy gets screwed while Big Business gets handed a pay check

Deny That !!!

5. My money's on 'complain,' although it's much too generous of a word
for posting blatantly divisive rhetoric. It's more of the same 'both parties are exactly the same' horseshit that proliferates like magic mushrooms growing out of cow-flops - especially on a Sunday, as predicted earlier this week by a wise DUer who follows these trends.

I find the message contained in that specious OP to be especially sinister - insinuating that once you really get to know them, the fucking teabaggers are more reasonable than a large segment of DUers. I've already called bullshit - in more ways than one.

7. Enter Diane Feinstien - stage left - your aguement is BS
Oh ya - I'm just sinister, evil Tea-Bagger in Dem's clothing

Your argument nor logic hold any merit what so ever. We have repeatedly been betrayed by the leadership of our own party time and time again as DU is ample witness of. Yet as the election looms closer we'll have the never ending crys of "Keep your Powder Dry" from the leadership and "They may be pieces of Shit but they are our Pieces of Shit" from the ensuing loyal electorit.

Mean while - Every thing is just Peachy for a select few of Wall St. while Main St loses their job and their home is foreclosed

Just how bad does it have to get before you wake up and realize the error of your argument.

wait for it.....

wait for it .....

wait for it ......

Here comes the But but but ... the RATpubliCONs did xyz.... and Bush did xyz .... and and and ect ect

I'm asking what have the Dems done for the Working Class of America

6. Tomorrow he'll revert to disagreeing with you 100%.
Their anger is their addiction. They need it to survive in a world that's just too full of gray tones for their comfort. Black and white is their only understanding.

9. Exactly!
They're not exactly deep thinkers... to put it mildly. Just like Christine O'Donnell, telling a lie to save a Jew from the Nazis is something they cannot comprehend. Have you noticed that they can explain nothing about their beliefs when questioned? They spout the same old tired platitudes. Intellectual curiosity is an unknown quality in this group.

8. The anger is misdirected for the ones that aren't racist.
The anger needs to be directed toward those behind the curtain (the money power) and that is where they get it all wrong. They have become stooges for the brokers behind the curtain.
