A year from the election...

Meh, you're kidding right? This isn't OD's first election cycle for either president or midterms. As often said, the republic shall survive.

Anyone ,Opting for Generic "Canned" Rants

Really doesn't have their Heart in it!

"R" s want Amerika restored to the land of Milk and Honey ruled by Rich,White
people.
[NoBody BUT the Uber Rich White Protestants and their Guatemalan Gardeners]

"D"s just want a choice of flavor of Cat food the "R"s will allow them to consume
in the New World Order.

If you REALLY believe that, it is sad, indeed.

Time to put away the bumper sticker mentality.

Seriously.

I mean you may believe that Rs are all evil and Ds are as pure as the driven snow, but ....really?

I'm fascinated by the disparate views people have about the country, how it runs and who runs it.

I have taken a page out of my warehouse guys' book and moved more or less towards blissful ignorance, politically speaking. My focus is now on the two things I can impart some effect, my family and my business.

Apparently that is exactly what "the other side" wants, regardless of which side one stands.

Evil V.S. Pure as Driven Snow. NOOOOOOOO!

MS Fowler,

It Matters Not what I BELIEVE.ONLY what occurs in reality,without spin.

All entities "R" are not EVIL,
[The Elected ones Certainly Are,as well as captive of and working for their Corporate Masters rather than "Their" Constituents]
just "Challenged" in that they enable Corporate Crooks to do us all harm.
Think of someone ,misdirected enough to vote "R",as Mentally Repeatedly Hammering their big toe with a Ball Peen Hammer and expecting the Pain to go away.(Is that not the Classic Definition of...?)

I've NEVER Met,Heard of ,Envisioned anyone "D" who could be described as
Pure (As The Driven Snow). Remember in CONUS legal voting age is 18.
Lots and Lots and Lots of "D"s ,Elected and espousing of, should be "Thrown
Under the Bus" and Backed over a few times for good measure.

Cripes, you're not kidding. It reminds me of taking road trips with my kids when they were a little younger.

Kid A: (sticking hand in face of Kid B)
Kid B: Get your hand out of my face.
Kid A: (keeps hand in front of Kid B's face)
Kid B: Move your hand you poop head (while swatting A's hand away from his face).
Kid A: MOM! B said a bad word and hit me!
-----------------------------------------

Kid D: Dad, why do sharks have so many teeth?
Kid A: Hah, hah. B, did you hear D? He said "teef." It's teeth.
Kid B: I know, what a baby.
Kid D: Stop calling me a baby.
Kid A: No, baby. You don't even know how to say teeth (pokes D with finger).
Kid B: Hah, hah!
Kid D: Stop picking on me you fart heads (while smacking A's finger out of his face and kicking the back of B's seat).
Kid A: MOM! D called me a bad name and hit me!
Kid B: And he keeps kicking my seat!
Kid C: (Oblivious, just enjoying his Wiggles videos with headset on.)
