Do you notice less smugness in repug polititions lately?
For the better part of three years now
we have been forced to watch repug
polititions strutting their over
confidence, sitting back to show a
lack of need to put energy into debate.
Smirking facial expressions, verbally
belittling all dems as insignificant.

Today I am noticing how Tucker Carlson
has lost his smirk, his guest republican
has that worried look of man who thinks
his job is endangered.

Is anyone else noticing that repugs are
a little less arrogant?

1. YES
and I've noticed the media whores spinning like f***ing TOPS trying to put positive spins on everything. All too often they're not very convincing, if not downright silly.

2. No, I see them being even MORE obnoxious
You know, like "trying too hard." They are starting to remind me of a cornered possum or raccoon -- which can be VERY dangerous.

I think the only thing that will take them down is being rejected at the ballot box. And given their desire to control the black boxes, it's going to take a landslide of epic proportions.

3. Paul Begala exploded their myth
about American soldiers dying in Nazi Germany and Japan after the fighting was over. It was zero, as were a number of other conflicts including Haiti. Zero. I just saw that NY Post "reporter" Deborah Orin on Faux repeating the myth.

4. No
I just spent 12 days in LA.

Oh, how I want to see Ahnuhl get his ass handed to him on a plate...

6. Yes and No
More dissatisfaction among the younger voters who have to work for a living and less in the older set who are reliving WWII and living off of their retirement/Social Security.

It might be a good idea if the Democratic Party reminds the people in general that it was FDR and Kennedy/Johnson that gave them Social Security and Medicare.
