They are Tea Party operatives. Everyone needs to take a hard look at what is happening in their local election procedures and work for open, clean fair elections.

We're really going to have to come out in force to support that which we believe in. Channel our fear into action in whatever way we can, I guess.

They won't read those facts because they have their own set of 'truths' and to that set of 'mistruths' they will remain most true. <br /><br />George Carlin is much missed, but we do have Bill Maher and Jon Stewart to help fill in the hole. And Carlin's words are at least still out there. <br /><br />The words I wish they would most read were said by Jesus Christ who most of them claim to follow... <br /><br />I might add I hate those captchas as they are impossible to read sometimes even with several tries.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342692190188505824.post-77471356830154809142012-08-23T07:40:11.808-07:002012-08-23T07:40:11.808-07:00*Hattie - It just gets more frightening every year...*Hattie - It just gets more frightening every year.

Carlin really gets to the point and I've enjoyed his insights through humor. Some I know can't get past his "dirty words" reputation to listen to what else he has to say, unfortunately. I've liked Maher, but at times he has a manner about him that causes me to tire of listening to him. Jon Stewart and his cohort with his own program, whose name escapes me at the moment, give me lots of laughs and seem to appeal to more of those people with whom I come in contact. <br /><br />Glad you get some facts out there to which those wavering or others can refer. Now if I could just get some of those to read here -- those with whom I'm intrigued over who and what appeals to those whose views differ from mine in order to best reach them for thought consideration of perspectives different than their own. I think those are the individuals we have to reach in order to motivate them to reconsider their vote, or even to vote. joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342692190188505824.post-24338657918558429842012-08-21T07:57:14.226-07:002012-08-21T07:57:14.226-07:00How I loved George and his wit and wisdom....he wa...How I loved George and his wit and wisdom....he was the best.
