Any guess from which cable news network this segment of Wilson’s district gets its news?
So much for the li-bur-al MSM.
FORTY-TWO Fucking percent? It ain’t such a long drop from lying to pollsters to re-electing the “keep it churning” bigots.
The smug dickwad obstructionist rethugs who cough-talked throughout the President’s speech knew their performance would be key to their 2010 campaigns. As much as I’d like to believe we’ve turned a corner,
it sure looks like just another dark alley. Unless/Until we start exposing this criminal enterprise for what it is with criminal indictments, prosecutions and convictions for their actions, we’ll never see them without that smug smirk and blowhole cockiness.
It’s still their game we’re playing. BADLY. We got game. Just not that game. Time to quit playing their game and just MOVE THE BALL up and down the field, right over their faces using the big cleats.
and our friends the media have already made him a martyr and the new champion of the wingnuts –
