While I totally support you in your disgust with Baio’s rhetoric, you’re going over the line when you post addresses for the purpose of harassment. When you bring it to that level, you’re just losing credibility for your side of the debate.

Well, I guess I was wrong.
I'm kind of over going to bars.
Maybe I am getting old but the idea of spending a night at a bar doesn’t appeal to me quite as much as it used to. I hate yelling in order to try to have a conversation with someone. I hate dealing with the crowds. Sure, I don’t mind it once and awhile but certainly not three times a week or more like I used to.
I much prefer having dinner with a group of friends, it’s a lot...

God bless Kucinich. And the progressive caucus. I couldn’t be more grateful to them for pushing the conversation and the legislation from the left. I agree with this sentiment.

azspot:
Now, we could be spending our time decrying the fact that Americans seem to have a strong preference for opinionated editorializing (be it Obermann or O’Reilly) over real solid news. Except of course that CNN hasn’t offered real solid news in a long time. Or we could bemoan the fact that a vitriolic ideologue like O’Really totals almost three times more viewers than the equally ideological...

Now, Sen. Joe Lieberman, what exactly is your problem again? Cost? Your argument is invalid.
This is so incredibly wrong and inaccurate. Stop spreading false propaganda. Look at the newly updated information rather then the OLD inaccurate facts. Also, the “new” updated version of the Healthcare Reform bill came out today. Don’t worry,...

I know most folks on Tumblr are against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But there are thousands of Americans stuck over there and they’re not coming home any time soon.
Help me help some US soldiers call home. I currently have 282 Tumblr followers. For every new follower I get until 300, I will donate $15 which equals a 45 minute pre-paid phone card.
