To the haters, trolls and the rest of the flotsam of fear and......
Edited on Sun Mar-16-08 12:13 AM by ThatBozGuy
ANTI supporters, "Ill back anything but" supporters, couching your fear and impotence in commentary, but now its like cockroaches and the lights been flipped on and many of you scurry to hide and run away, and the ones left out are getting stepped on daily and you will eventually be squished.

Its an entropy cycle and your desperation as well as your inelegance and vulgarity are the only things a few of you bond under.

I challenge you to write a paragraph of the positive for your candidate, as in string together a large block of your own words, not cut and paste, because I believe you will show yourself for what you are, not Ms Clinton's supporters, not Mr Obama's supporters, many of whom I think are very smart and educated about their candidate on both sides, but simply anti-social haters taking out the perceived failure of what ever source of your pain and your life failures under the guise of fake support and you just revel in inflicting pain.

To Ms Clinton's true supporters continue your success of pointing out your candidates positive contributions and good luck in seeking her nomination.

To Mr Obama's true supporters continue your success of pointing out your candidates positive contributions and good luck in seeking his nomination.

To the bottom feeder one sentence anti support trolls and haters of anything and anyone, enough is enough.

Good day, we have a Democratic presidency to fight for and you are no longer welcome to waste our time or energy.

DU for the Democratic President 08

1. "The change it had to come, we knew it all along"
Lyrical Meaning

"Won't Get Fooled Again" is sung in first person, and describes the role of a reluctant revolutionary who goes along with the crowd, but secretly hides his indifference and/or distaste towards the change.
"We'll be fighting in the streets", refers to the revolution, which the main character is participating. "And the men who spurred us on; Sit in judgment of all wrong; They decide and the shotgun sings the song", shows the main character's hidden animosity towards the leaders of the revolt and their use of violence to carry out their motives. "I'll tip my hat to the new constitution; Take a bow for the new revolution; Smile and grin at the change all around me", shows the main character's apparent approval of the revolution in the public eye. “Pick up my guitar and play; Just like yesterday”, conveys the character’s feelings that nothing has actually changed despite the revolution, and that life is still as it was before the change. “Then I'll get on my knees and pray; We don't get fooled again”, is the subject of the song. The main character realizes that his fears and reluctance were correct, and that the revolution was not the glorious, just, and liberating idea that it was made out to be. Because of this, the character prays that a new revolutionary won’t come along and ‘fool’ the people once more into starting a revolt.
Various lyrics within the song allude to political and religious topics. “And the morals that they worship will be gone”; The “they” is referring to the counter-revolution, and suggests that part of the reason for the revolution was the moral convictions of the previous regime, possibly referring to their religious motivation. “Then I'll get on my knees and pray”, alludes to the main characters renewed faith as a result of seeing the failure of the revolution to change the status quo. “And the parting on the left; Is now the parting on the right”, makes reference to the “left” and “right” in politics, and suggests that the revolution (the left) has now become the “right”, and another “left” wing group has stepped in to take its place.

4. I far prefer to hear what's right about your candidate...
...then what's wrong with mine.

I make a habit of only being critical of the candidate - not her supporters. We need each other to kick puke ass this fall and I'll never understand why some get off own eating their own.

Good post ThatBozGuy :hi:
