Those are all union protests, and could be people from either party.
When the teachers were protesting in Albany, they weren't party affiliated.

My signs were of teabaggers, and as we know, anybody stupid enough to call themselves a teabagger HAS GOT to be a republican.

Yeah, because Obama himself printed that out HIMSELF, and not some douche bag neocon, who thinks their non-stop innocent little Obama/Osama "slips" are cute. Not unlike your hero Rush Limbaugh.

Talking about Douchebags, you're speaking like one when you assume that Limbaugh is anything to me.
You are so f**king clueless you don't realize that this was a WELL publicized misprint made by Rensselaer county and it made NATIONAL news. BTW, the two election commissioners, one Democrat and one 'pub said it was an honest mistake.
I thought you Dems had a sense of humor....

Give me a break...two were official union signs, two were against the banks, one was pro-everything marriage, and one was civil rights. If you think the vast majority of them don't vote democratic, you're fooling yourself.
Show some objectivity and take your head out of your a**.

Not to get off topic, but I was in a large union for a number of years.  About half ( as near as I can remember)
were Republicans.  Many supported Reagan.  Some were Union Officials, and voted Republican most of the time.

Being a union member is no guarantee that you're a democrat.

philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

In Wisconsin it is...But take those away, you still have other pictures that definitely vote majority democratic.
The point I was making is there are illiterates on both sides of the aisle, but two minute Tommy went ballistic when I dared to bring it up.

The "Ditto Heads" (the name says alot doesn't it?) are the only ones that keep trotting that one out, because it's one of Rush's favorite "slips".

The spelling, grammatical, and typographic errors that republicans make on a regular basis are encyclopedic, making them almost impossible to keep track of.
It's gotten to the point where it is akin to poking fun at the disabled.

Then again, I expect little else from a party that reviles education, and has an I.Q level that is so closely commensurate with that of a house plant, that they continue (with great amounts of relish, and glee) to vote contrarily to their own best interests, at the behest of those that consider them to be very little more than "useful idiots".

Spoken like a true elitist collectivist.  The belief you have the full understanding of what is in the best interest of everybody else.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah... my guy has a higher IQ than your guy, yadda yadda...grammatical errors? I've got one word for you...Ubonics.
Useful idiots? What do you call 50 years worth of Great Society programs that have done NOTHING to improve poverty? 14 million more receiving food stamps than in 2008...who do you think those people are going to vote for? The ones that want to increase the handouts maybe? Human nature says yes.. who cares where the money comes from, as long as its not ours. I laugh at the increase the tax on the rich polls.. The evening news actors are surprised that the poll numbers are that high...Well, of course they are, most of us aren't rich and it's the new American way to pass the buck and blame someone else.

"Ubonics"? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, breathe HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
YOU CAN'T EVEN PRONOUNCE OR SPELL THE DAMN THING!
That is PRICELESS!!!

More people receiving food stamps than in 2008? I guess not as much of that republican money "trickled down" as they promised.




Yup, it's the new American way to pass the buck all right.

The government does a great job solving all problems, and they do so efficiently. Right.


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

The democrat rhetoric is that they are the party of the working person...The working person that for the most part completed few years of formal schooling, and if they did attend school, if most likely was public. So they communicated with a less sophisticated vocabulary. If you look at the study, the democrats used a lower grade level of words in their rhetoric to communicate with their constituency than republicans did between 1996 and 2005.  It looks like that working class demographic may be moving away from the big labor democrats to the right and supporting the non-traditional "tea party" conservatives.  This study should be a wakeup call to the Democrat Party because it looks like the Republican Party is making inroads into a traditional democrat voting bloc.

This thread may be meant to be disparaging toward “tea party” voters…The fact is, many of these tea party voters were independents that traditionally voted for democrats and the Republicans are connecting with them and are now voting Republican.

Maybe so but how many of the poor would even have jobs if it wasn't for the rich, how many poor people do you know that are hiring thousands of workers today.
