    ...and 73% are wacked out lib-pigs...lol...The estimates are 221 thus far to attend the free liberal comedyfest.

    O it's Halloween, why not have fun. Please dress up and post pics fellow members! I'd love to see the pics from yall. Laughter is a good thing no matter what...I'm moderate so relax,

    what I like from the left:
    Healthcare
    tax credits for rain barrels, and such (gotta keep the bunker self-sufficient) and a better mindset to "green" projects

    what I like from the right:
    the tea-party spirit
    gun rights
    Palin...j/k
    religious views

    There are things I am very apathetic to on both sides but I'm highlighting what I like especially from each party...
    crazy combination, but that's me...

    You're talking gibberish ROX. I don't understand what you are saying. As a matter of fact, I went to a Tea Party rally Labor Day weekend. Nice folks, but dumb as a box of ROX. Not what I would call playing with a full deck if you get my meaning.

    Really, Did you hold up sings like the rest of 'em? The reality is the tea party spirit is not about their full deck or lack thereof to some on the other side. It is about the pure American can-do spirit, and it's growing mc mark. O yea...The people have had enough of whatever they have enough with, and one by one your leaders are going down.

    It's funny that he gets threatened by this. It's funny that Stewart/Colbert's critics (mostly, if not exclusively, of the far right) yap about how small the rallies will be, yet talking heads like Glenn Beck appear to be afraid of how large it will be. There's a sharp disconnect between the messages.

    Stewart's target audience for this rally is very hard to muster, however. He (and to a lesser degree Colbert) obviously has a gigantic fan base, but as he's said, they're mostly normal people who work, raise kids, and generally don't have the time to parade around and shout about vague ideas such as "limited government". I really hope he can muster up enough to make it a significant rally... which I think he might just be able to do.

    The morans are just so damned angry, it's each to punch all the way through.

    Stewart had yet another appearance on O'Reilly (who, again, didn't listen to him at all):
