2. A load of nauseating bullshit (your OP)

Mon May 13, 2013, 04:15 AM

May 2013

There has been an increasingly visible meme from some of the more right-leaning posters that attempt to link Kucinich and the Tea Party.

It is time to end this charade.

Kucinich is a true Democrat and does not deserve the asinine quotation marks you put on that title.

Let this post, whether it stands or not, be the first to challenge you to name ONE ISSUE where Kucinich can be claimed to be representing either Republican interests or Teabagger interests.

If you cannot name a real issue (and no, criticizing the IRS is not one) then you will prove your OP to be as bereft of meaning as I already know it is.

Those of us who know still remember what it means to be a Democrat. We have memories. We have political compasses that still work and this BULLSHIT OP will not do a thing to throw off our clear vision.
