8. Just calm down. Don't go overboard.
(I like sugar cookies with sparkles, if you care to share the finished product.......)

7. Rec. See, I TOLD YOU it had some good stuff - we are doing something right
if we are pissing off the republicans this much....I think the GOP is really scared that some of Obama's policies are actually going to WORK. And, since they voted against them all despite repeated attempts at bipartisanship.....

If more of the TARP and bailout money is repaid and if unemployment starts to rise, they are seriously fucked. If the health care reform has ANY widespread positive impact, they are REALLY seriously fucked.

Merry christmas, RW jerks - take your trees down, dress in black. You deserve all the depression we can give you.

9. That's why I always watch Cspan instead of MSNBC, especially when there are callers.
They have some of the funniest old people in the world calling that show.

10. God hates helping sick people. Right?
Okay, not really sure of her message. She seems very confused. I think that she is so focused on why she should hate any healthcare program passed that she did not listen to the radio to find out how she should feel regarding questions that are not the typical ones. If anything, the Democrats are the ones tha should feel Christmas to be ruined. She should be happy because her people helped produce crap, but made sure that the insurance companies are still makng ooodles of money. Little does she realize, but she actually needs the healthcare that she helped to sacrifice so some guys in washington can get into office next yet. I hope they send her a thank you letter.

11. Ladies and Gentlemen, the war on Christmas has been won.
The surge worked. I can faintly hear the cries of little children as their inbred RW parents cancel Christmas. Happy Solstice. Christmas for all.

18. 'THEY HAVE RUINED CHRISTMAS!!!'

Uh, I think she'd have something there if in fact, it was THEY who took down her tree, pulled down her lights and had a fight with her son.

Bwahahahahahaha

Unfortunately, it was SHE... that's right SHE who ruined Christmas!
I hope she's happy.

20. Why are you opposed? "...because it is so divisive between my son...who is younger...and myself"
What the fuck??? What the hell does she mean??? "My son who is younger..." Of course he's "younger"...HE'S YOUR SON!!!

Why the fuck do we have to listen to these morons? Why the fuck do we give them airtime?

She's fucking nuts and belongs in an asylum!!!

Don't give them publicity!!! Put them away...NOW!!!

21. Someone needs to tell her we've only been a country "under God" since 1954.
I was born in 1953 so I was born in a country with a pledge that doesn't state "under God" so I'll go with that pledge (written by a Christan socialist) and she can go to Hell...

DON'T GET THESE LOONS ANY AIRTIME!!!

26. Can I find peace there?
Edited on Thu Dec-24-09 05:00 PM by KansDem
Sorry for my rant of unpleasant verbiage but I sometimes find that I simply can't take anymore of this!

It's like they're wearing us down with stupidity.

I sometimes feel like a mound of salt and these imbeciles are the water and the media are the bucket...

28. I hear you. Your rant is appropriate.
Just when I think the Dems can't be any more infuriating, I come across a wingnut like this CSPAN caller and I realize we need to stay in the Democratic party and continue pulling it to the left so we can be a united front against idiots like this woman.

I think Parsons is in one of the counties where there is no active Democratic party presence. And that can be fixed.

Hang in there and have a wonderful holiday.

31. This one sounded like a paid right wing comment to me.
Didn't ring true.

My brother, however, says there are people who are spontaneously deluded.
