1. Where the hell are these people when we are in the streets twice a week protesting the EXPENSIVE war
This newfound outrage from the right really pisses me off. Spending money on a war is okay but spending on health care, jobs and education is bad?

I drove by Dennis Moore's office on Sat and caught their protest there. An overwhelming theme was apparent in their signs:

WHERE IS MY PLANE, MS PELOSI

I WANT A BAILOUT

WHAT IF I DIDN'T PAY MY MORTGAGE

Then I heard a woman on TV saying 'I can't afford this. My kids can't afford this. My grandkids can't afford this.'



Note the 'my', 'I', 'me'

These are selfish bastards who are concerned about themselves and no one else. How much more fucking transparent can they be?

2. KC Star article on that protest
Hundreds (sic) rally outside Moore’s office in tax protest

Someone dared them to show up at Rev. Cleaver's office. :rofl:

3. No doubt they will target 'Claever' too
The organizers are a bunch of Ron Paul freaks who support Turk who runs against Claever every 2 years (that's how they spelled Cleaver's name on their signs.)
