You're getting a bit one-note here, Mort. <br>
<br>
Why don't you tell me why you think that there are more anti-war
Democrats than anti-war teapartiers <br>
<br>
- and where they are...<br>

My favorite answer would be how BHO sang "The Ballad of
Rich Richman" for his supper last month. Jane Hamsher
wrote, "I still can’t quite wrap my head around it the
fact that Obama thought it was a good idea, in midst of
9.6% unemployment, and on the day after the census bureau
announces that 1 in 7 Americans are living in poverty, to
show up at the gated Connecticut mansion of a guy named
Rich Richman and tell a privileged few at a private
$30,000 a plate [sic] fundraiser [the following:]<br>
<br>
"...after being in this job for two years, I have
never been more optimistic about America. I am optimistic
partly because we did some really tough things that aren't
always popular but were the right things to do. Democrats,
just congenitally, tend to get -- to see the glass as half
empty. [Laughter.] If we get an historic health care bill
passed -- oh, well, the public option wasn't there. If you
get the financial reform bill passed -- then, well, I
don't know about this particularly derivatives rule, I'm
not sure that I'm satisfied with that. And gosh, we
haven't yet brought about world peace and -- [laughter.] I
thought that was going to happen quicker. [Laughter.] You

We should treat that remark with the contempt it deserves

<div>Ask Carl where he gets his data (re. his first line

biggest contributors, and where most of the PR for the
Tea party comes from. And so what conclusion may one

Obama's co-option of the anti-war movement meant
that there is no parallel among the Democrats to
Ron Paul's movement of principled opposition to
the war, nor to that of libertarians and
paleoconservatives around the website <a

As an (actual) socialist, I deplore that fact. <br>

<pre wrap="">I did notice that there were very few "constitutionalists" around
before the scare tactic of "they are going to give health care to
undocumented immigrants" became popular.
Very few of the tea-partiers are in the anti-war movement.
All I am saying is that it is easy to count the ones that are consistent.
With the ones that are inconsistent, it is harder to count them, but
it is easy to tell if they have read the constitution.
