The dogs do bark

Sure it is, although to DeMint the definition of radical right might be a bit idiosyncratic.

says a large sign approximating a Ben Franklin quote that would have been very much appropriate for the previous administration: so appropriate to the gang who gave us the Patriot Act, ignored the law and told us blowing up Iraq was necessary to preserve "our freedoms."
In fact, the fact that not only were these marionettes not in display in Washington a year ago but also that the Bush administration routinely bussed protesters out to remote and fenced-in enclosures while Bill O'Reilly called them "loonies" certainly speaks better for Obama and worse for Republicans than anything else. It certainly doesn't speak well of the silly people, the stupid people, the petty people who see these choreographed parades as anything but bought and payed for advertising: bought and payed for with our country's future.

Just say no to Chicago Style Politics,

Obama's nuts, that's why he's involved with ACORN

Trade freedom for security... you will have neither,

You are one, tedious, old, boring, and ultimately record. As if the "right" has a corner on "looniness" while the "left" never has "bought and paid for" rallies. Only the "right" exagerrates its numbers while the left, of course, approached 1 milliuon antiwar protesters in 2003. Give it up. It's all just a fucking game with the political pendulum swinging back and forth, back and forth, back and forth . . . .

That should be ultimate BROKEN record, in case you mistake my typing carelessness for illiteracy, a Rule 5 tactic you love!

keep telling yourself that...whatever gives you comfort to soothe the fact that "tea party beck" can't draw a crowd.

Well obviously I've hit some sore spots. Good to hear the old pre-emptive accusations kick in too - I'm sure somebody can attach a number to it like Plan 9 from Outer Space so that you can have more than one trope to obsess about and bring up for weeks and weeks.
sure, I'm putting a spin on it! As I said, the dogs do bark and you wouldn't be barking if you didn't know you and your party were fringe element losers.
It's easy to mock and in fact empty mockery and false equivalence is all you have since the facts themselves are mocking you. You lost and your numbers are shrinking and your extremist antics are turning people away.
No, I won't attempt to correct your incomplete sentences or childish writing or dishonest context. You don't expect dogs to write well or think well or do anything but bark and shit on the rug until someone gets tired of it and puts them outside on a chain.

Do you know what percent of the white male vote Obama received in Mississippi according to exit polls? The answer would be 9%. You would call that racism, and I'm sure some of it is attributable to that. I call it "certain states cannot be won" by Democrats and it doesn't take much pendulum swinging in a few states to put a Republican back in the White House. As Bob Dole used to say, "I know you it, you know, and the American people know it."

Sure, Mississippi is the bottom of the barrel in education and literacy. The stupid are always in the majority everywhere though and only 1 or 2 per cent of the population are really intelligent. (my opinion, of course) Racism is just another symptom of the same malady.
It's tried and true that if you convince the dull that they are intelligent, you can sell them anything including things that keep them in their place. If it's not history's rule number one, it's close.
Think about Germany, at one time the best educated, technologically advanced and civilized country in Europe, but still with enough resentful "lumpen" to bring it all down when someone told them they were victims, that they were really the smart ones.

Are you sure you're not Lenin's great grandson?
I guess the same applies for the lumpen in Venezuela who follow Chavez around.

Unless you've brought your own audience, everyone here is laughing at you.
It doesn't seem you really have any concept of what Lenin was about and it's a bit of a WTF moment for a retired and wealthy capitalist to be accused of some affiliation with the workers revolution; but whatever, you never did make any sense. When all else fails, call 'em a communist, right?
