1. If you are a Dem, post it/your views, and screw anyone else;
Bottom line now; regardless of what you are valued at and whether you are rich or poor,
time will tell, very shortly. Can we turn this scary world around or not?
I think it's possible.

2. The definition of insanity is
doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

3. Hmmm...I wonder...
What would happen if we sent copies of that article to our alleged Dem representatives with the accompanying question
"Well? What about it?"
:evilgrin:

4. UNFORTUNATELY, this says it all.......
......House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said. "If we play our cards right, we will be intimidated to the point of total paralysis."

Ifanyone can do it it's the mainstream Democrats!! :grr:

This is one reason I think Americans - not Democrats and certainly not neocons- but Americans need a third party that truly reflects their beliefs. :applause:

BTW, thanks for the link to The Onion. I lost it and hadn't gotten around to finding another link for my favorites. :toast:

5. Anyone..

7. Asteroid-sized grain of truth.
That's an awesome phrase. I'm going to have to find someplace to use that in conversation today.

6. Satire at it's finest.
I hope party leaders are reading the onion today.

9. The difference between us and them....
No self-serving/self-righteous rethug forum would allow a self-deprecating, satirical post.

11. We do have a host of issues nobody dares to talk about..
Amazing how the tyranny of secrecy can effectively keep all the central, burning and most critical issues completely obscured and taboo to even suggest staking out a position on.

Guess we'll have to try to win by supporting sugar warnings on toothpaste.

10. Ugh- We should email this to our congress-critters.
There is painful truth in this satire. :-(
