gratuitous
(82,849 posts)Because I'm going to express that very sentiment this summer at our denomination's annual get-together. I'm working it over in my mind just how to go about doing it in the politest possible manner, although the folks on the other side of the issues are already all primed to show up with their most pained butt-hurt faces.

(5 posts)I am always so surprised about the number of people on here bitching about their red state teabaggery and yet, why don't they just LEAVE then?

(14,854 posts)last summer, after seven long years. My husband would have been laid off in 2004 if he hadn't transferred. For the family, it was the right move to go there temporarily. I still reserved the right to bitch about my fundie Repuke neighbors. We lived in Grapevine, Texas - one of the ten teabagger strongholds where they ran that Sarah Palin worship flick in the theater.

(25,023 posts)Who is a tax whiner, not in Grover's ballpark but frets about them when politics are discussed and otherwise a regular kat.
I guess I don't have right wing friends of any weight. I do know/associate with a few but I doubt they'd care either other than to make fun of the folks in the picture.
