It is outrageous to me that trillions can be thrown out and burnt on destroying lives in wars and then penny pinching nose holding goes on with the needs of health care that would heal and bring people into a place of being able to live fully and contribute to society.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695598.post-86514419134584871252009-08-26T23:01:08.609-07:002009-08-26T23:01:08.609-07:00Yes.

Some things, like gay-baiting, are pretty reliable across a broad spectrum of society. Things like the Schiavo affair...not so much. They've lost a fair amount of ground on a number of issues, and I think they'll lose more in years to come.<br /><br />Riling up the terminally ignorant and angry is child's play, but how much does it really accomplish? If your goal is to spark off a few more massacres, fine...but that's not a reliable path to regaining political power. (Quite the opposite, really.) And they got the base <i>extremely</i> worked up about Obama prior to the election, but it didn't do them all that much good. So politically speaking...yeah, I do think it's pointless, which makes it twice as sick and infuriating. <br /><br />Of course you're quite right that they don't seem to see it. Or at least, not enough of them do, yet. I suspect they'll be forced to back away from the base eventually, though I shudder to think what kind of radical violence it'd take to serve as a wake-up call....Philahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849261651028725772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695598.post-44340138817727965842009-08-26T19:28:51.584-07:002009-08-26T19:28:51.584-07:00I guess they must not see or believe in the pointl...I guess they must not see or believe in the pointlessness of it. There is a base that hangs on every word these lying bastards utter. <br /><br />And, they want very much to influence the ignorant among us. <br /><br />http://jazzbumpa.blogspot.com/2009/08/partisanship-and-wealth.html<br /><br />Having done so with distressing success over the last 30 years, I don't think they're going to quit any time soon.Jazzbumpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337490817307473659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695598.post-78900909238000022142009-08-26T11:10:13.968-07:002009-08-26T11:10:13.968-07:00Thanks, Erin!Thanks, Erin!Philahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849261651028725772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695598.post-75620181538543839472009-08-26T10:13:43.837-07:002009-08-26T10:13:43.837-07:00Great post.Great post.ErinPDXnoreply@blogger.com
