Just heard Sarah Palin say “Democrat Party” three times in roughly four seconds.

    I kept hearing that too before my brain threatened to shut down my ears if I didn’t mute it. It’s like either she doesn’t want the word “democratic” being snagged by the other party or she’s too stupid–okay, maybe door number two is the obvious one.

    I was arguing with a republican who said months ago that she was for barack, now she says she’s not. I used all the usual facts that she conveniently ignored, and when I explained that unlike me, Barack Obama hasn’t reviled Republicans for the state of the country, considering that they controlled all three branches of government for 6 of the past 8 years. I explained that he, unlike me, had the vision not to attack the opposing party because he truly believes in bridging the divide in this country. Her response was, “Well, that’s his way of attacking the Republican party.” Hah? How about that lack of basic reasoning, polemic, and verbal skills? How about it? Hah?!What’s your worst/best anecdote for dealing with the Zombie 40? (It has been estimated that appx. 40% of the voting population will never vote Democratic).

    BTW, for those of you in the PA region, I’m in town for a wedding (Phillies fans? Interesting bunch…), and had to pick up a copy of the City Paper. The cover alone is worth a look:http://www.citypaper.net

    I can’t even talk my own second born into voting, so I’m hopeless. Maybe I should remind him of the fact that I’ve always been pro-choice. He’s apathetic but smart enough to catch that implication, a slight variation on the “I brought you into this world and I can take you back out” threat.Groobie, I had the first kid in a gazillion generations of my mother’s family to not only NOT graduate college but to drop out of HS and get a GED. I am a failure or he was switched at birth. Or both. My first kid is brilliant AND votes. Number two’s got the smarts but doesn’t know how to use them. Or doesn’t want to.Sorry, rambling rant. I feel like it will all hinge on that one stupid non-vote of his. And I’ll have to live with being the creator of that Epic Fail spawn.

    I believe I will only refer to them as the Repub Party from now on.

    Has anyone else seen a decline in weekend activities? Halloween falling on a Friday, I expected loads of kids, but we only got one set of door knockers. Today I’m out with my son and his younger half sister to see High School Musical III. We are in Times Square. The theatre is empty.It feels like everyone is waiting and otherwise volunteering for the election…QT

    QT: I did. I live in a fairly densly packed neighborhood (for Kenai, Alaska).I had a Halloween Party to attend, but before I left my house at 7:30, I’d had a total of 7 trick-or-treaters… and 3 of them were my own grandsons.The party was poorly attended as well, I was home by 9:30.

    Packy, I used to hang out on a freaking Football board that couldn’t even keep the wingnuts from talking politics. One guy kept referring to democrats as “dims”. I told him for every time he did that I was going to answer calling his party the “pubes”. He soon stopped.

    Yes, I heard Palin say that, too. Standard-issue Republican schoolyard trollery: they know it bothers us, so they do it every chance they get. The Palin wing of the GOP is pretty much operating at the elementary-school bully level. Shit, even that’s probably giving them too much credit, but I’m in a generous mood today. On a more serious note, I think the misconstruction “Democrat Party” reveals one of the right-wingers’ advantages: they know most progressives like to think of themselves as grounded in reason and civility, so it’s difficult to offer an effective comeback to juvenile taunts. But our winning this election big might just wipe the idiot-grins off their faces for a while. Not long, but a while.
