I am the first to admit, I have finally lost my marbles over the idiocy of the male gender of (my gender) our species. To wit, Bush and the few millions of U.S educated - supposedly - Americans.
Sign the damn petition if only to show these criminally stupid people that WE are many more in number than they. Show them once again, that we can generate a THOUSAND times more signers on our petitions than any petition "they" can come up with.
Poke out THEIR EYES, with your finger tips. Humiliate them with our numbers.
Do non-progressive, non-liberal people even hold petition drives? What would they petition? What the hell, lets take a look:
Failed Republic Petitions:
Screw Mexicans ( 9821 signed)
Screw Climate Science (unverified claim of almost 40 scienists)
Screw Poor People (no kidding)
Screw Black People (MO, NE, KS - "Michael Jordan signed five times")
Screw Gay People (Florida4Marriage.org)
Here's whole very weird site for right-wing petitions. Hey its a free market.
If "political correctness weren't still hanging be a thread, I am quite sure we would be seeing more petitions like: "Kill Poor People", "Ban Science", "Nuke Iran", "Nuke Islam, "Allow Slavery", "Ban Shoes on Women."
Think I'm kidding? Then you are a nice person. Stand aside.
Since they can't actually get anyone beyond a few sheople to sign their shit, they have to use dirty tactics. One of their biggest problems is, most of cattle who do respond to fear, do not use the Internet EXCEPT for pornography, so they never see the petitions.
And how's that "individual responsiblity" thing working for ya? I'm still looking for that one in the bible.
Which reminds me. I should point out that ActBlue's counterpart, SlateCard is an abysmal failure. ActBlue has raised $40 million for Democrats. SlateCard won't tell you how much they've raised for GOP candidates dispite their claim of tranparency. I'm guessing it's under $200,000.
Why? Greed maybe? Slate is not a Foundation run by voluteers, like ActBlue. Its a PAC run by highly paid money grubbing political consultants from the Ann Coulter Fan Club.
Or maybe its the individual acountability thing. "Spend you own goddamn money if you wanna git elected. If ya ain't rich, then ya ain't too smart is ya?"
Its two thousand and eight (2008) for Christ sake, and some of us are behaving as if it were one thousand and eight (1008). No difference. The name of our commander in chief is now synonymous with all the other bully tyrants in the world.
Here's the latest news on Tibet.
Good luck.
