I've gone from checking into msnbc, cnn, fox a coupla times a day - and then my head could not take it any longer! I want to know what's going on but being subjected to that anus masquerading as a pie hole is really too much!

And so, I offer some relief to my fellow exploding heads

Just tell us... is it sadly funny, embarrassingly funny, ironically funny or just predictably stupid?

Hillary and company, Barney Frank, Ed Rendell, DWS, et al, will get their way and corporate america will win big.
I am not sure even caring about down ticket elections will matter. The whole party has gone to hell.

There is no Republican/Democrat divide, only a corporatist/democracy divide. You can very, very easily tell which "Democrats" on this board are corporatists and which are pro-democracy. If I hadn't already paid through the nose to be photographing wildlife in Africa this coming July, I would cancel that trip and be outside the convention. I hope tens of thousands show up for that. I can imagine the day when we'll all have to be weighed and measured twice a year so that the corpo-state knows how much to charge us for oxygen rental. Most of us just slog along through life in a foggy, depressed haze, pretending that things are other than they are. Dystopia come to life.

I posted this in another forum and was "tut-tutted" by a member of the DWS Fan Club. But anyone with open eyes can see the truth behind it.

Hey Debbie, if you love them so much, change your fucking registration!
