re: #198 Wendell Zurkowitz (slave to the waffle light)

This is what happened when the GOP handed the podium over to the TP. These guys are ideologues, not politicians, they have no sense of when to hold back and concentrate on a single goal or policy: they seek ideological purity at all costs. Christ, even Marco Rubio’s high-heeled boots are not safe from derisive comments.

I’m just waiting to see who my Tea Bag neighbor will endorse since he took his Ben Carson magnet off his ride. He enjoys a public pension, which no one in the future should have. And Social Security, which we cannot afford. And is as dense as a wall. Come off as a nice guy, got along with him for years, decades. When his crackhead VA guy from down the street interrupted a mailbox conversation last year or so, and went on like Rush on meth, I finally couldn’t take any more and spoke out. It’s put some distance between us. Told him last month or so I liked the ACA, completely unsolicited, as he would do to me, and I could see the jaw muscles contract. He would never consider the life he has now is owed to a pension and SS. He should be a nice guy. Hell I hugged him years back when he had prostate cancer and was welling up, feeling his mortality. I do not dislike him pre se, but for the life of me cannot figure out why he acts this way. Who drilled into his head? Told me the Tea Party was people “just like me and you.” I told him, “No. Not like me.” And there are a lot like him all around me. When a conversation starts off with “I was watching Hannity last night, and…” I just try and point out the hypocrisy when I get an opening. I still hear Sharon Angle sneering “You’re a man. Why do you need to pay for maternity?” And the crowd cheers. Not like me.
