What happened to the left's ability to organize?

[BurtWorm]

How come the right wing got better at it than we used to be? How come when I hear a winger say they're going to organize and get wingers elected, I believe them? And how come the last time I heard a lefty say "organize" with any conviction it was at Paul Wellstone's funeral?

8. Because they lie and...

they tell voters that the President is a radical,thug and that he is changing their country and they want their country back. These people were asleep for all of the Bush years it seems and they don't realize that most of their rights were taken during the Bush years.

Now,the rightwing/media/bluedogs are trying to tell us that we can't tell anyone who really was taking their country from them. Also when they tell them that they are taking their country away from them they do a little wink,wink,to tell them that a minority is the President and the minorities are taking their country from them.

9. The Tea Baggers are funded by Corporate America

Freedom Works is a front for Corporate America to create Astro-turf groups.

The Left has real grassroots and I can tell ya, many of us are out of jobs or soon will be. Kind of hard to organize when you are looking for a job.

10. I think after the Democrats start winning, there was a lot of slacking off

We can still do it, it just seems like our side isn't motivated to do it right now.

11. It worked beautifully. And the result was a Spin administration.

I knew he was Tony Blair 2.0 the minute I saw that stupid poster, but would anyone believe me, ohhhhh, no, mutter, mutter...
