Small City. North Georgia. Conservative. Tea Partying.
Can't drive down Main Street. Traffic jammed with freepers standing around. Doing nothing. Protesting nothing. Nobody listening. Still can't figure out what they're protesting.

Tomorrow morning. Neal Boortz. FOX News. Rush Limbaugh. Sean Hannity. Raging success they will say.

Five years from now. Cartoonish memory. Dispassionate protesters, protesting to protest. My God these people are easy to mock.

2. Gainesville.
It's hard being a progressive surrounded by these disillusioned Republicans.

Thank you for your kind words.

3. Sean Hannity will be at the Capitol in Atlanta tonight at 7 PM,
as will Newt Gingrich. That strikes me as a bigger event. Of course, there is a Braves game going on that evening as well, so there is a big worry about bad traffic. Traffic is really the #1 concern in Atlanta and trumps everything else.

Where are you?

7. North of Atlanta about 50 Miles.
Pretty town. Filled with Republicans. If I even mentioned my political bent, I would be run out of town on a rail. Thank God for DU. It gives me a place to vent.

5. It won't be a cartoonish memory unless we actually DO something about them
otherwise they'll still be around, trying to bring down the country.
