Craigslist posting to teabaggers:

An entertaining read. But it’s pretty apparent what the teabagger response to this would be. I know, because I have had this very conversation with one who happens to be very close to me. And their response would focus very keenly on Point #3.
Teabagger: “If this government takeover of health care goes through, the everyone’s taxes will have to go through the roof in order to pay for it. That’s a fact!!!”
Nothing else matters because that is the belief. It is etched into their brains. Burned in daily by their ideological leaders. No CBO numbers or fancy explaining by those elitist economists from those liberal universities is going to change the mind of anyone who even leans toward the teabagger mentality.
In their minds- Health Care For All Deadbeats=More Money Out Of The Pockets Of Real Americans. It is their mantra.
Seriously, I doubt that any of them made it past the first couple of lines anyway. But it was a satisfying read.
I flagged it for “Best of” Craigslist. It’s worthy.
The “Black Panthers” were part of a performance art piece.
Speaking of wankers and idiots, anyone read about Colorado Springs? It seems like it is heading towards Mad Max territory now.
