Dedicated to exposing Conservative/Republican hypocrisy and dickishness. C'mon, join the fun!

The following quotations are excerpted from the widely acclaimed book, "What's The Matter With Kansas? How Conservatives Won The Heart Of America" (2004), by former New York Times and Wall Street Journal columnist (now with Harper's) and best-selling author, Thomas Frank.
[pp. 6-7:] "The leaders of the [Conservative] backlash may talk Christ, but they walk corporate. Values may "matter most" to voters, but they always take a backseat to the needs of money once the elections are won ... This is vexing for observers, and one might expect it to vex the movement's true believers even more. Their grandstanding leaders never deliver, their fury mounts and mounts, and nevertheless they turn out every two years to return their right-wing heroes to office for a second, a third, a twentieth try. The trick never ages; the illusion never wears off. Vote to stop abortion; receive a rollback in capital gains taxes. Vote to make our country strong again; receive deindustrialization. Vote to screw those politically correct college professors; receive electricity deregulation [Enron]. Vote to get government off our backs; receive conglomeration and monopoly everywhere from media to meat- packing. Vote to stand tall against terrorists; receive Social Security privatization. Vote to strike a blow against elitism; receive a social order in which wealth is more concentrated than ever before in our lifetimes, in which workers have been stripped of power and CEOs are rewarded in a manner beyond imagining."
[p. 109:] "In Kansas we merely see an extreme version of this mysterious situation [populism benefiting the rich — think Tea Party]. The angry workers, mighty in their numbers, are marching irreverently against the arrogant. They are laughing at the dainty affectations of the [elite]. They are massing at the gates of Mission Hills, hoisting the black flag, and while the millionaires tremble in their mansions, they are bellowing out their terrifying demands. 'WE ARE HERE,' they scream, 'TO CUT YOUR TAXES.'"

THE LAST THING WE NEED IS A NEOCON REPUBLIKKKAN COMING IN AND DESTROYING THINGS AGAIN LIKE THE LAST TIME. OPEN UR EYES PPL THIS IS REAL.
OBAMA 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The GIFT that Keeps on Giving + Making Comedians WEALTHY = RepubliCON DEBATES
Whatever makes you happy dear. I love you as always.
Just because you yourself are a close-minded buffoon and follow solely along 1 party and are a direct reflection of the Moonbats Spouting Nothing But Crap network doesn't necessarily mean that your opposition is the direct opposite, IE Republitard & FOX watcher. It could mean that there's actually someone out there who realizes that there's useful idiots from both sides of the spectrum, and that's fed up with the "MSDNC vs. FAUX" and "R vs. D" poppycock, and the morons like yourself who keep that shit alive and wonder why our country is so fucked up right now.
Love you.
And you're right. You never used the term "fat". I believe the term used was "girth"; which in your obvious rush to prove what an educated pompous ass you are, probably forgot means pretty much the same thing as, fat? So if I say "Ed Shitz has enormous girth", will you then attempt to agree, rather than making up a lame hypocritical excuse saying that he has a right to be fat because he used to play football? lol, that's amazing.
Apparently, your memory ain't so hot either. Yes, I had Weiner's picture up for quite awhile, but with the caption, "Let me tell you about the Battle of the Bulge -- I lost!" No surprise that level of deft, sophisticated (oh, OK, high-school-level) humor was lost on you, but I think it's directly comparable to my Herman Cain, "If you knew where my hand was ..." word-bubble classic. And hey, if you're looking for "equal time" on my site, go whine/complain to the FCC or Fox, or better yet, post your own stuff, doofus.
Oh, but Ed Schultz, girl look at that body. He works out!
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR
You're this "master exposer of *Republican* hypocrisy & dickishness"? So you go after an innocent cancer survivor like Herman Cain with unproven hearsay, simply because he's an "R", but yet promote a doucher like Anthony Weiner, who if I remember correctly was a member of your "Wall of Shame" not that long ago? What about the other winners in your "party", like John Edwards and Bill Clinton? Don't they deserve a chance in the spot light as well?
Nothing like a first class hypocrite claiming to *expose* hypocrites. Merry Christmas, friend.
