Seven positives to one moosepoop dodge is impressive.

Yes. That's what I told you. You should brag about it a lot somewhere else.

Yes, but a pie extremist might not appreciate perceptual joys of Pie à la Mode if they are too focused on pie alone...

cognitive and perceptual traits? hmm, i guess it's possible. still, i think the role of pie has been overlooked as a direction for future research...

The articles refer to big money as a causation.

A causation not THE causation. That is an important distinction.

But go ahead and keep digging. The way out of the hole you made for yourself has got to be down there somewhere.

Projecting again? Remind me how many people have signed up for your movement? How many times has your site been hacked? Explain how for years you have not been even able to change the link in your user name?

You act as though the reason the commenters here spew their moosepoop instead of making rational arguments is because I do not respond correctly to their moosepoop.

Ah no. You do not respond coherently. You do not back up your idea. You resort to school yard push back. Pathetic really.

Whether or not that is true doesn't explain why they first posted their moosepoop in response to my rational arguments.

Labeling your blather as "rational arguments" does not make it so.

That is you believing what you need to believe.

Belief has nothing to do with it.

Pretty much every article on every other issue contains a part about how big money corrupting our political process is a major factor in why we can't implement affordable, available solutions to the problems.

Correlation does not automatically prove causation. That is what you need to do. Why. How. Where. When. Then back it up with data and/or examples. This is called an argument. Instead of whining about no one taking up your cause, convincing them with a coherent argument would be a good first step.

When I comment at Commondreams I always get more likes and positive comments than the occasional negative comment- and the negative comments are the same nonsense dodges that the commenters here use.

Yes, preaching to the choir is easy, but preaching to everyone else is required to push an idea beyond the choir and that can be difficult.

CW once asked me to provide just ONE person that agreed with me.

More recently he labeled you troll and indicated you were close to getting banned. Where do you think you really stand?

It clearly exposes that YOU are not accepting reality.

You really love the "push it back on them" school yard stuff. Try this: read an article/comment with an opinion you don't automatically agree with. Toss in this quoted line. Did it help you to agree or did it push you further away from that opinion? Would anyone reading comments here or anywhere else be more likely or less likely to be interested in what you are pushing after reading comments like these? Most of us here are not marketing an idea. We can type whatever we want. You do not have that convenience. Words matter.

RE FTP 3

Did Rush really transform the Republican Party or did he just surf the radio waves? He never held office and his philosophy was John Birch.

Seven positive likes! Impressive. What percentage of that seven fell for your little money racket?

And people do agree with me.

The reality is that the way you feebly mimic Big Money Al Franken's Stuart Smalley routine is boring and repetitive.

Count me in the former group - we have much more fun!

But, y'all don't really care for music, do ya? :)

I suppose that Terd Cruz is a novel virus on Planet Dore, but here on Planet Earth, we've heard of him before. His comic book villain evildoing is transparently obvious even to his fans. Nobody has to seek.

The schadenfreude is good shit and it has nothing to do with Florida Man (or his absence).

I'm sorry but I won't be able to host the CW Sunday Night Music Festival and Dance Party this week. Maybe next week ... why don't you do the honours-I would be grateful.

But you will believe what you need to believe in order to not have to face reality.

Says the poster boy of ignoring reality.

We all know you have have found your boogeyman and then anointed it the one boogeyman to rule them all. Your main problem is few agree with you. They may find big money in politics a problem but the one problem to rule them all? That is purely your escape from reality...

It was L8 80's, or early 90's, a full-blown 'Ugly American' and family came into the restaurant I was working at, he was sent to me to voice a complaint about something.(at the time I was just a wheel in a cog, but had the reputation of taking no shit from Indians*) Stood before me was this man, six and a half foot-tall, greased back hair looking all the moment like someone in charge, he went on to whine about something, I didn't care what, and told him so...All I noticed was the hundred dollar bill, fashioned into a peace symbol, pinned to his chest. I asked him about it, he said Rush Limbaugh said all Americans could wear this as a symbol of some kind, to show their support...Of what, I asked... Of American solidarity...Solidarity for what, I asked...Of our nation and President, he claimed...Regardless of who it may be, I obviously ventured... Yep, so long as HE'S white and a republican.

It was at that moment I realized I was one and never going to be the other, I was living with a black woman at the time.

I threw him out.

Umm, New York's last vestige is Gov.Cuomo.

Biden was right, America isn't divided, in the same way, Dems should now realize their foe and not be acting like pussies. They can do as they please, (barring the Man-Chin)they can quietly go about the business of governing by popular demand, like all democracies seem to manage, and let the fruit of their loins be their truth.

Ted Cruz...Didn't his father kill JFK?

...in fucking Texas.

Yesterday's five were especially tasty! Drawing the connection between Repug anti-government, er, governing and the Texas catastrophe seems something that should happen in every competitive race across the country, not just in Texas.

And has also been pointed out, they have elected a string of hard right Republican governors multiple times in a row, from Rick Perry to Greg Abbott, over at least the last 10 years.

It kind of reinforces the old cliches: You get the government you deserve; and you reap what you sow.

If only so many innocents didn't have to pay the price. Let's all learn the lesson of putting compassion and competence before party label.
