      That's really clever.  Tip over a trash can, take a picture of it for the web, blame it on union thugs, and pretend you are going to 'clean' the mess you made. It's a metaphor, just like the title 'teabagger'.
      
      Moving from fantasy to reality, police in Madison estimate that up to 100,000 people showed up to protest the law that Walker signed which curbs the work rights of public school teachers, in advance of deep cuts to education funding. This follows tax CUTS for the rich by Walker and his teabagger buddies.
      
      Bear two facts in mind. This record-setting rally happened AFTER democrats lost. Second, the rally in Madison, Wisconson was bigger than any teabagger rally anywhere, including DC. This is the energy we have after a defeat.
      
      Watch the Recall Elections. Independents working with democrats are going to recall eight republicans and reverse this tragedy. Walker can't be recalled until he has been in office a year. He's a gonner in his second year.
      
      Gloat while you can. Moderates are seeing your movement for what it is - a front for the rich who want the benefits of getting rich in his this country, but aren't willing to pay their share of taxes.

                  "DOA now estimate Capitol damage as low as $350,000
                  Mar 04, 2011 4:46 PM CST
                  
                  MADISON (WKOW) --The Department of Administration now says the damage estimate at the state Capitol could be $350,000. At a court hearing Thursday over access to the Capitol, the DOA estimated the cost to be about $7.5 million. The DOA says that was a "high-end" estimate. They say the $350,000 would cover a crew to perform "very limited" restoration on the marble as well as landscape restoration, according to an AP report. DOA originally said it could cost between $60,000 and $500,000 just to assess the building's condition. "
                  
                  So the progression of teabaggers lies goes from 7.5 MILLION to 350,000. After someone gets the real numbers, it will be 10% of the low number,  utter teabaggers will quote 7 million forever.

                     Hey LMC, I know the Gun itself doesn't kill people. The person pulling the damn trigger does. You want to split hairs about it, then make sure you understand that alone.
                     
                     The fact that you cannot see past the issue on Guns and the fact it is a inanimate object(meaning it is NOT a life form}, is beyond all comprehension.
                     
                     So, let me put it this way for you, as a woman, if you have an abortion- YOU are in fact KILLING a human organism which would turn out a be a child. So, in essence, abortion kills children.
                     
                     That is a precise example that you rail for the right to do, yet fail to see it with guns.
                     
                     As for who am I, to judge- I judge actions. Once I see an action, I am able to describe what it looks like. Which is apparently you have trouble doing.

                  "If people ignore the pathetic posts of those who claim to spouting truth about politics, it would show them that they and their pathetic claims are of no value."
                  
                  I used to believe this, but after witnessing how easily people are swayed into believing lies that are repeated over and over in the media and elsewhere, I've come to believe that the lies must be challenged each and every time.  This was a sad truth learned after the swiftboating of John Kerry and the character assassination of Max Cleland.

                     Hey Pretty Panther, always a pleasure to see you. I hope you're doing well.
                     
                     It's fine to dismiss lies, when lies are blatantly told. The only problem is that there are so few sources that are actually creditable anymore, because of the misinformation from politicians on both sides.
                     
                     Still getting into an argument with idiot still isn't worth the trouble, because it's a complete waste of time, and takes away from good people, going on to do good things.
                     
                     If a good person is constantly debating specific points or dealing with hatred filled speech, then how do they help others to better their lives?
                     
                     I understand what you are saying, but the continued berating that goes on in the forums....there has to a be point when you begin to realize the truth of the matter- they are only distracting you.

                        Hey to you too, Cagsil. 
                        
                        Oh, I completely agree that it is a waste of time to continue prolonged debates with certain people here, and you won't find me doing much of that.  But I do have a hard time letting blatant misstatements go unchallenged, and liberal Pollyanna that I am, I'm eternally hopeful that some day, a rational conversation might be had with a conservative here.
