    It’s hard to believe there are Americans who STILL vote for Republicans. I’m convinced this phenomenon is mass insanity caused by psychological warfare. AM Radio Free Conservative and that terrorist cell at FOX News perpetrated the most successful brainwashing of a target population in the history of ideological buzz. The FBI and Homeland Security really let the American PEOPLE down on this case of seditious UN-AMERICAN activities. See actspo.blogspot.com

    EXAMPLE:
    The Tea Party has all but disappeared because of SHAME! These Conservative rubes realized they got played for fools by a bunch of silver spoon trust fund babies. Can you imagine? After the Bush/Cheney catastrophe, Tea Baggers still believed the GOP was working for their best interests. The Republican Corporate Ho Party used Conservative voters like a $10.00 meth whore. (right Ted Haggard) lol

    Not only that, but you pathetic morons wanted Democrats/Progressives to believe if only Conservatism had one more chance it can work? The very definition of insanity, isn’t IT? Over and over AGAIN! Just separate yourselves from the Bush/Cheney DISASTER… bull$#!~ MISINFORMED people into believing they’re part of a NEW Conservative Movement. In reality right wing imbeciles never learned the new boss is same as the old boss… The 2010 election was an affront to GOD and everything the USA stands for.

    In OTHER WORDS Republican Party talking points are based on the ignorance of their constituents. They revise history and LIE because they CAN… because morons who vote for Republicans DON’T KNOW THEIR OWN HISTORY! This ain’t NO Tea Party… it’s a full scale CLASS WAR and all the silver spoon, trust fund babies like Mitt Romney are kicking the American PEOPLE’s @$$.

    The Billionaire Aristocrats and their Republican Party flunkies have a LOT TO ANSWER FOR! These vain, self-serving, power-mad, greed stricken silver spoon con artists have turned the USA into the United Suckers of America.

    Reagan/Bush killed ANTI-TRUST and any regulation that kept industry HONEST. When Reagan/Bush came to power, the USA was #1 on the planet in exporting goods and importing raw materials. This is the very definition of a prosperous economy. By 2006, it is the exact opposite. Why? Years of Republicans selling out the American middle class, that’s why. The Bush’s and a Republican Controlled Congress (1994-2006) gave it up for a very few wealthy families.

    And what did these elitists DO? Stall new technology, steal pension funds, move to China, India, Mexico. THIS while paying for those high priced, patriotic commercials, WE LOVE THE USA, THIS IS OUR COUNTRY, etc. BS! (when I snap my fingers you‘ll wake happy and refreshed… lol)

    I think we need to focus on those in the TOP 1% Koch Bros, Sheldon Adelson, Bob Perry, Diane Hendricks, Rich Devos, Foster Friess, Louis Moore, Trevor Rees-Jones, and those rich @$$holes on the Council for National Policy. Let’s not forget the Neo-Con, War Profiteering, banking scandal, Bush Crime Family types along with their flunkies such as the Mitt Romney, Scott Walker, Rick Scott types.

    An American Aristocracy, who made their fortunes on the backs of American workers… The water, air and wealth of resources used to manufacture the goods. The brain power and innovation, with American ingenuity, technology, ideas… using infrastructure paid for by the American taxpayer… And how did they repay us? The silver spoon, trust fund baby m’f***er’s moved all our jobs to Asia/Mexico, fouled our environment with stuff that would make a bill goat puke and turned our politicians into a stable of high priced prostitutes.

    It used to be called bribery, collusion and all those crimes covered by the RICO Act. How come they can get away with a white bred corporate crime wave of epic proportions but our jails are filled by pot smokers? WHY IS THAT? These Wall Street guys ruined our economy with their ALEC, reckless policies, deregulation and “Citizens United” so why aren’t the American PEOPLE standing up to them? WHY AREN’T THE FED’S PROSECUTING? WHERE’S THE IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATIVE NEWS REPORTS documenting the outrage?

    It’s up to the PEOPLE to focus on those billionaires at their meetings such as the Koch Bros, rich @$$hole Convention in San Diego. These are the true enemies of the our beloved USA who want to do a “Citizens United”, hostile takeover of everything Americans hold dear about our great country and turn the average American into a low wage, debt slave. Ask Mitt Romney why he’s meeting with scandal laden bankers, hedge fund swindlers and other crafty special interests IN LONDON?

    Conservatives are insane, you pathetic bunch of brainwashed fools! Here’s the thing Conservatives/Republicans have yet to grasp. Sure we’re fighting war on terror (allegedly) at the front door but you people left the back door open to economic terrorists. Remember the COLD WAR? Remember our former enemy those Red Commie pukes? How much did we spend to fight them, TRILLIONS? AND WHAT BECAME OF THAT? The rich guys decided to sell the American worker out to the Commies. Communist China now owns a third of our national debt. Thanks for NOTHING m’#*@/r’s!

    AMERICANS WHO VOTE FOR REPUBLICANS WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR POOR VOTING CHOICES!

    And there is a growing number of sane, moderate Republicans on the American scene. Progressives must help the other poor dumb neo-con *****’s along at consciousmc.blogspot.com

    “All these tough guy Conservatives and NOT ONE of these lugheads figured out that the propaganda that brainwashed them is paid for by foreign agents who want to divide and conquer the USA. Look at the evidence - Mark Steyn, Dinesh D’Souza, John Sununu, Rupert Murdoch… ALL FOREIGN AGENTS! Ohhhh and lets’a not forget how George W. Bush was like smitten school girl every time the Saudi Royals came to the Crawford, TX ranch? Even Joe McCarthy would have been disgusted by you pathetic right-wing pussies ” Charlie Stunats

    ^ Liberals will always vilify those who stand up for our nation's founding principles. Congrats Mr. Cruz. It will be an honor to have you in the Senate next year.

    Boy are we lucky -- as fellow Princetonians and as Americans -- to get to call Cruz one of our own. Governor Romney is going to need all the help he can get in the Senate to fix the mess that Reid, Pelosi, and Obama are leaving behind.

    An unbelievable embarrassment for Texas and Princeton both -- as a native of the former and a graduate of the latter, I am pretty well horrified ...
