Depressed....teabaggers in my town taking over

Our town budget was decided today. 60% of voters decided to tell schools to go fuck themselves. A petitioner budget, drawn up by a man who didn't go to any public meeting held by the various departments passed overwhelmingly. This is the second year in a row the town will be screwing itself over, and leading to more cuts and bigger increases later.

I'm just pissed. Needed to vent.......

Never give up. I would start leafletting. Make up a fact-based flyer and start leaving it all over town.

Yes, it's appalling. My favorite Democrats are taking a beating because they are shut out of the public debate on media. ALL the noise is from the RWNJs. We can't get a word in edgewise, run good liberal and progressive candidates, and the baggers run crooks and liars and get elected. They don't care about integrity. Good ideas get shouted down by the Kochroaches.
