Yes, I know the right is utterly disgusting when it comes to dragging in family members, and I know they'll never stop -- cruelty is in their DNA. But this is something we just need to turn the other cheek on. Minors are off limits, always.

      The funny thing is I had the same thought, "wait -- is he making a Patriots statement"? :-)

        As far as I can tell, getting people active and interested is STEP ONE in fixing the problem. Thanks to the protests, there are many more people who will likely be more active in the upcoming elections.


        It worked for the Tea Party. They started with [much smaller] protests and then they got people elected into local politics all over the country in the 'Tea Party Wave', including our wonderful Governor Paul LePage.

          what is the deal with Baron? I haven't seen/heard anything about him other than the peekaboo and then people posting about how he should be off limits. I've always assumed he would be left alone.

            I assume somebody somewhere said something mean once, which in the RWNJ mind means every liberal is always doing it.

            BTW, Trump is a wonderful reflection of the right media when it comes to those hypergeneralizations. He's the quintessence of that knee-jerk, thoughtless broad-brush painting which the righty media has been using on their captives for 30 years.

              No one likes hearing the truth about why a loss happened, especially when they're in denial about it. But the first step to fixing a problem is admitting it.
              No, essentially, what you doing is no deeper than simply stating THAT the loss happened.

                If you haven't read it, this is a great guide for co-opting the Tea Party strategy (which itself was co-opted from the 60s anti-war and civil rights movements).

                Literally every liberal should read it.

                  Nah, LePage won because of who his opponents were. I think even after Baldacchi's disastrous tenure a decent democrat beats him.

                          Trump was right. Marco Rubio is a *****.

                          Senator Marco Rubio will support Rex W. Tillerson for secretary of state, ending the threat to his confirmation.

                            How the heck did he win re-election, though?

                            That's the thing I don't get about LePage, Snyder, and Brownback. They've all been exposed as morons who are tanking their states, yet IINM they all won re-elections. What the actual f-ck?

                                The irony is both sides' activists consider Alinsky their spiritual father. He essentially wrote The Prince for grassroots activism. It's a rule set that any player can use.
