Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Re: If I were a Dem

Edwards has proven that he can trash corporate interests to squeaze out working class's product.

He'd draft the children and get them to finally, stand up straight and stand in line AND properly salute.

He'd make sure grandpa gets his $500 bucks, too.

That link to American Exceptionalism is indeed exceptional. It excepts me from using it, or even understanding it. Perhaps if it were a clickable link...

Fred ain't a liar or crazy but that doesn't mean he isn't havin' a good kick-ass time campaigning.

John McCain is too, me thinks.

MorMitt liar that he is isn't having a good time for that reason. Everytime I've seen him he squirms , fearing those few who see him behind his holier than thou persona.

Is there an exorcist in his diocese?

Ol' Huck is a tad crazy, showing campaign videos that he isn't really, and crossing picket lines to stand up for gay rights.

Excuse me, gay writer's rights.

But he's not really enjoying the ride, anymore.
