should peel off the last of the intact brains from that party.

GOTV 2014!!!!!!!

What was so refreshing was seeing the total lack of sexual repression, anxiety and guilt that so many of my generation and previous generations had. They actually feel free to talk and joke about sex in very frank and bold terms with no shame. Wonderful that they are actually living the dream the feminists of the '60 and 70's fought so hard for. Even better, they vote.

Democratic women really are the life of the Party!

Thanks for posting!

Or if it was at some restaurant or tavern, hopefully they asked to have the channel changed. Get. Pox. OUT!!!

The bartender gladly changed the channel and very nicely thanked us for the request. Said the owner is a Fox fan (with a weary roll of her eyes).

to what the clientele wants. And if customers like YOU and your friends start getting vocal about it, and demanding that the channel be changed, the owner will eventually have to give in. Because more than even Pox Noise, that business owner loves money and customers and profits. And if the customers keep complaining about something... that could put the money and profits parts in jeopardy.

In part because my parents have been brainwashed by it, which is really sad. Whenver I am in an establishment that has it on I request, very politely, that the channel be changed to something less hate-filled and polarizing.

Had to do it a few times. I'm a familiar face - I've been banking there for a long time. I've even used my favorite excuse (which happens to be a documented fact) that I'm a retired reporter and the way they "report" the "news" over there is quite literally, and personally, offensive to me - their LONGTIME customer. And I nicely and politely told whatever bank tellers I was dealing with, asked them to pass it on up the food chain, and also went over to the side of the room where the manager-types sit, and buttonholed the manager who was on duty there at the time. Make sure they know AND their boss knows.

Now, those monitors are on CNBC or the Weather Channel or CNN or some such "neutral" channel.

Btw - the next time I went in and noticed there was a different channel on the monitors, I thanked them - the teller and whatever manager was on duty over at the side of the room. Asked what made them do it. I was told "we've had complaints." What do I care if most or all of those complaints came from me? I don't care! It's "complaints" - PLURAL. And that's really all that matters. And I must have complained to several different tellers and managers. Farther up the food chain, they're not gonna know if it was merely one customer repeatedly complaining, and nobody in the middle is gonna care enough or take the time to note who complained or that it was the same ornery woman or whatever. All they're gonna know or care about is that they had "complaints" - PLURAL. Make their mild disinterest work for you!

Good advice for all of us who find it offensive. I see it on at so many establishments. Every time, I complain.

Just freakin' DO IT. It will help enlighten others who either inhabit that other side OR just are totally not involved and not aware and don't pay attention. ALL those types need to hear and see and feel the pushback. When we stay silent, it's awfully easy to assume that we don't exist. And that our feelings and thoughts and opinions don't exist. And all there is, that counts, is you turn on TV and it's Pox Noise and you don't even think about it.

That's one reason why I advocate for calling your rep - and somebody else's too. Don't care if your rep is one of the opposition. Don't care if that other guy/gal you call is firmly in the enemy camp. JUST FREAKIN' DO IT! If more of them heard from more of us, maybe they'd start realizing that there's more of us out there than there are of their side. The opposition, especially, needs to hear from us. We can't just be preaching to the choir. We have to take it to the bad guys too. They need to know we're here, we're increasingly militant, and we're not going to go away - NOR are we going to go backwards like they want to do. They need to get a sense of what a large opposition they face and how they're the minority and WE know that, too. We need to start impressing upon them that WE are in the minority. This crap they try to sell - that America is center-"right"? WRONG!!!!! The statistics and consistent polls prove otherwise. OUR guy got more votes BOTH TIMES than either of theirs did. OUR GUY in the White House got more votes than ANYBODY ELSE ON CAPITOL HILL DID. BOTH TIMES. MILLIONS more. And some pipsqueak Congresscritter from some little corner of Dumbfuckistan does NOT speak louder, OR have more clout, than him OR all of us who sent him into the White House. BOTH TIMES.

They need to start learning this lesson. They need to start being FORCE-FED this lesson. Whenever the ted cruzes of the world spout how they've "listened to the American People" we need to call them on that bullshit. They've listened to this little sliver of the population that acts out and throws temper tantrums like a bunch of spoiled snot-nosed five-year-olds. They have NEVER listened to "the American People" because if they did, they'd know the numbers are NOT on the side of their priorities. On women's rights. On voting rights. On climate change. On income inequality. On civil rights. On corporate overreach. On the separation of church and state. On immigration reform. On Citizens United. On marijuana. The list goes on. And that misbegotten attitude they cling to - probably because all THEY listen to is Pox Noise and the limbots on the radio - needs to be corrected. BIGTIME. The ted cruzes of the world don't pay any attention to that because they're not forced to. And even if a little bit of them IS aware that the numbers don't support his agenda, they have this wall of sound surrounding them and insulating them so they don't have to think about US - their opposition. And they need to be FORCED to be made aware of this, and be reminded of this, and be schooled about this. REPEATEDLY.

I'd bet most of the TVs on in commercial establishments where the public traffics are tuned in there because nobody really thinks about it. They're pretty well programmed. And there's nothing in their minds that would pop up to suggest that - um - hey, somebody might not like that channel. Somebody might not want to see that. They don't think about those things. Too busy thinking about opening up and did the cleaning crew finish up properly and who just called in sick and who do I call in to replace them today and shit-got-a-meeting-at-noon-that-I'm-not-ready-for and the company car needs new tires and I have to call accounts payable by ten about such-n-such and crap-I-just-remembered-tonight's-my-kid's recital and blah-blah-blah... They don't think. It's WAY low on their priorities list.

So WE should be there to enlighten and educate and broaden their minds. I'd bet that most of the businesses that have their office/store TVs on Pox Noise don't even give it a thought. Automatic pilot time. So let US step forward and show leadership, and help them broaden their narrow, unthinking outlook!

I don't think any of these gals are obsessed by politics but they have a clear understanding of who supports the freedoms they enjoy and who don't. All seem to have very liiberal views in natural and common sense way.

this is seriously good news!

Good news for us and bad news for the Republicans!

by how many former conservatives have seen the light -- over the decades. In my class I haven't heard from a single one who isn't a liberal by now; and in all the classes only one woman clearly is. (She's still pro-life but isn't an economic conservative.)

That has been my experience as well. I graduated high school in 1976 and all the old friends I've re-connected with on FB are liberals/progressives now. Some more vocal about it that others, but all have "seen the light."

Yep, the corporate media are portraying lack and lost of support for Pres O, including, Liberal support, which is total bullshit. Corporate media want you to believe that conservatism is gaining traction in the USA and progressive/liberalism is dying which again is total bullshit.

The GOP foot soldiers are alive and well on all the progressive internet sites. One thing tho, progressive sites allow the trolls to post. Progressive/Liberals who try to post on GOP and conservative sites are not allowed.

I don't know of one Obama voter, and I know plenty of them, who wishes they had voted for Romney. I don't know one liberal who suddenly supports the GOP. Who are these people they keep talking about?

I think you summed it up perfectly - " total bullshit."

that they're the future is a bonus! Thanks for reporting from on the ground, Kath!

Don't you love running into other people who think similarly? It's great.
