Uh, may I say, if I havent said this lately conservative means criminal, Republicans are primitive tribalistic incompetent throwbacks who have to cheat to survive (damn that Darwin!), and President Mitt Romney means the End Times are fucking here, buddy.
Let me know if I missed anything, if anybody else actually watches that putrid shitstorm of hatred, misogyny, racism, and mean/cruel Mean Cruelty.
Why do they hate Amercia so much? Because it says We in the fucking founding documents. And to them, you know what that means.

(40,416 posts)I appreciate your opinion, and understand it. I undoubtedly will be dog whistle central. But I, for one, think it's important on a know thy enemy sense. This is the Repubs big show. Ours comes next week, thank goodness.
But to watch one without the other is a mistake, IMHO.
Obviously you don't see it that way, and that's okay. Some DUers will be here with me, and others won't. That's okay, too.
That's the strength of a community. We build it together.

Randi Rhodes listens to Rush -- she'll be watching for me. I can handle the pre-digested stuff, so it's important that somebody watches. And for that, I am truly grateful.
Still, I guarantee it's going to be pretty much that exact list of events. Always has been, always will be.
Like watching the orcs getting a pep talk from Sauron.
