yes, astroturf, take some time and dig a little deeper into the people that are dragging you poor saps into their fight. You are a drone for ultra wealthy forces that are bent on destroying this country to prove they are right. Bush allowed them to loot the US Treasury at the end of his term, but that wasn't enough, they want more...

They are intentionally with-holding themselves from participating in America's economy. Refusing to invest, bring their hordes of off-shore capital back into this economy and to hire the people they need. example; the robo-signing scandal, why didn't the big banks hire the staff they needed to do the foreclosure paperwork? Why did the banks pocket the TARP funds instead of adding it into the credit market as it was intended, because those things would have started a "Main Street" recovery they didn't want to see too soon. A full recovery would have soothed the teabaggers and their drones would have drifted off. The need the middle class fighting itself.

Why buzzards27, would you make such a statement?

You know that liberals are a minority in this country.

I do realize though that your leg is tingling ---- as your President takes us into a third war.


Way to go left wing.


And by the way, what the hell do you want us taxpayers to take care of?


Jeffery Immelt is part of Obama Hussein's jobs council.

As head of GE, he managed to keep his company, which profited $14,000,000,000 from paying taxes.

I know .... Obama is great, Obama is good.

T'would do you good to look at your own party. With eyes wide open.


I know, as long as you can sock it to all the taxpayers, and all the big evil corporations, ( except GE ), then life is good. Steal, steal, steal and steal.



The way your sentence was worded proves that kids don't get smarter - just by throwing more money at the NEA.


By the way, I got laid off from work three weeks ago. Your happy Obama world is crashing in on America. He hasn't done one thing to help most of us real Americans. $3.70 for a gallon of gas....and I'm out of work.

You can call me astroturf, velcro, non-organic chicken, someone who hasn't taken his carbon footprint seriously, a not real American, an extremist (as a taxpayer) because I'd like to slow government spending,
careful what you ask for, the governments perform a vital function, unless you are prepare to repair the roads you drive on, and forgo most other forms of transportation you better hope that this "smaller" government you want is still able to provide the services you have grown to expect.

and a homophobe.

But I will Never Ever Ever vote for a $&^%!ing Democrat for President.
real American are patriotic and support their country no matter who is leading it. They do everything they can to make the home a better place. you teabaggers are Extremely unpatriotic, you are putting your beliefs, your wishes and your desires ahead of what is best for this country. The government is not the enemy, at times it is the only thing between civilization and chaos.

Well,.. at least captain america was there.



I don't exactly know what you mean by "major media attention". As I live in the Metro DC area I can tell you that none of the 4 DC network stations mentioned it as happening nor did the Baltimore stations I receive (3 of them).

Maybe there is a communication problem.

That's funny, I didn't see ANY promotion for the rally. Can the OP link to the "heavily promoted" sites?

We are tired, used a lot of energy that resulted in the HISTORIC drubbing of the democrats in Nov, won back the House, won a record number of seats across this great land. We are just waiting for the politicians we elected to get to work.

It alternates.

On uneven dates, Fox is the victim - the beleaguered bastion of conservative news, a small but brave contingent still holding out, surrounded by the hordes of the leftie PC mainstream media.

On even dates, Fox News is the champion - the station that has the viewer numbers to prove that they're number one, they're the people's choice, the voice of the common man, unlike the liberal elitists in their ivory towers.

Sometimes their fans forget what date it is, and try to adapt both personas at once, changing mid-paragraph or even mid-sentence. The results are rarely pretty.

That's unfair. The Repubs have been super-busy, investigating American Muslims, affirming "In God We Trust" as the official US motto, drafting legislation to make English the official language - hard work!

I guess the Middle East has already solved that problem.
