Oh, I t...<i>The public may find out they are loosers.</i><br /><br />Oh, I think that's been made pretty clear by now. <br /><br />When the Teabaggers swept into power last year I expected the sort of catastrophically short-sighted, "screw the middle class," Gilded Age policies that have been the Republican stock-in-trade since 1980, and if that were all that happened nobody would care much.<br /><br />I didn't expect the lawlessness. I didn't expect the blatant assaults on the rule of of law, the Constitution, or democracy in principle. I don't think I was alone in that. And for that we are paying dearly.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463621516644789183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977625681756554695.post-51553567442612888602011-06-12T16:36:28.049-05:002011-06-12T16:36:28.049-05:00they have filed suit, saying that a public figure ...they have filed suit, saying that a public figure at a public meeting in a public place should not have their words recorded and disseminated to the public, on the grounds that it is bad for the Teabagger image...<br /><br />Kind of reminds me of the reasoning to stop the vote counting in FL in 2000.

"No person may knowingly make or publish, or cause to be made or published, a false representation pertaining to a candidate or referendum which is intended or tends to affect voting at an election."<br /><br />Can we just arrest the Teabaggers now and move on with our lives?Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463621516644789183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977625681756554695.post-7938513004025505782011-06-09T13:35:02.784-05:002011-06-09T13:35:02.784-05:00Thanks!
