Can we have that guy who was running around saying "The rent's too damn high!" give a rebuttal as well?
The SOTU has really just become a freak show where everyone who doesn't have anything to contribute gets a soap box. And I checked; the only person who is supposed to make a statement is the President of the United States. The constitution makes no provision for everyone else to have a rebuttal.
I look forward to hearing Capitalist Obama's State of the Union because Ansel said that's how it has to be. Plus, we all know that The Stranger is only stirring up rivalries by insinuating that Sawant is in control of the union of socialism.
The Chicken Little Brigade is certainly out in force tonight. What a bunch of weenies. Oh No! A Socialist is going to talk! Where's the smelling salts????
Will all the TeaBaggy/LaRouchie/Wingnuts, when faced with an actual Socialist's statement, demonstrate any recognition at all that Obama is no "socialist"?
Probably not, but the rhetorical question had to be asked.
I hope with going to districts for the city council we can get a Republican elected to the city council:NOT THAT I LIKE REPUBLICANS! But rather, it would be fun to see the same people whining about us who criticize the statist-uthoritarian whining twice as much as we do about the Republican. So it's wrong to be against someone who wants to put small businesses out of business with a $15 an hour unpayable wage, who wants to kick people out of their homes if they're too big and turn them into public housing...but its okay to be against a run-of-the-mill moderate republican, because they're subhuman evil Nazis. Man, the Stranger makes me think leaving Seattle for Houston, Denver or some other anti-statist city is pretty good idea.
