I've ditched all but basic cable so was watching C-span during the
votes. They were killing time during the votes, asking
supporters,
those against and those undecided to call and weigh in with their
thoughts.

Most of the supporters were well-spoken, reasonable, with a couple
of
exceptions who were obviously upset about the Republican's use of
the
abortion funding issue to scuttle the bill.

Likewise, the undecideds were pretty reasonable if a little dense.

When it came to those against, OMG, they were off the friggin'
charts.
Many had convinced themselves this was a government takeover and
soon
they'd be telling us when we could go to bed (the well-trodden
nanny
state metaphor).

They really sounded like complete idiots, I was embarassed for
them.
But none of them sounded as ignorant or racist as Jim or Canuck.

I think we have a rare opportunity in rec.boats, the good fortune
you
might consider, to witness some of the darkest ugliness in
evidence in
our country.

Our own, sick, deluded, racist Teabaggers, right here in
rec.boats.

Awesome.
You know... I think some of the teabaggers, even most of them,
truly believe that gov't officials don't really listen, and I tend
to agree with them. The problem is that there's a significant
number who are nothing more than race-baiting, KKKer types who
would use any excuse to be part of a group of people who would
normally shun them. There's also a large number in their ranks that
were lied to by Faux News and Friends, and they are either too
gullible or too dumb to actually look at the plethora of facts
available. They would prefer to believe that Obama is a Marxist
from Kenya, because it justifies their fears, fears that have been
played to by a group of politicians and pundits.

Yawn
I know. The truth is boring sometimes.

I don't know if you speak any truths but you are definitely boring and
repetitive.

Feel free to ignore me.

I will when I'm finished with you.


So, basically, you can't. Why don't you become a stalker.

In your dreams. Are you here to troll for stalkers? I really don't think
you've got the bait.



Yet, you've got to reply to my posts... yep, another stalker, afraid of an
actual thinking person. Got it.


Expect he's a member of his local Moose Lodge.

The kind that sports burting veins on Karl Mauldin-type nose.
