C'mon up for the rising (of liberalism)

POSTED: Monday, September 10, 2012, 3:32 PM

This dude is awesome -- guitar player for the Boss, ex-"Soprano," and now Little Steven is here with some big marching orders for the Democratic Party:

Then the next two years ambitions were thwarted by the Tea Party and that was that.

The Dems needed to lay out in detail what their thwarted plans would have meant for the American economy, jobs, social safety net, the future, etc. What they needed to say was THESE are the guys who voted against all this good stuff and if you don't get up off your ass and VOTE THE BAGGERS OUT -- NOTHING WILL GET DONE FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS!

But nobody said that.

I also love his laundry list of policy ideas, although I'm not so sure about the sugar part (see photo at top of blog). Loosely related, does anyone else also remember that Steven Van Zandt had a great side project in the '80s called Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul? You can hear them at the bottom. Programming note: I'm a little jammed up today but I'll have more "content" tonight -- including what they're not telling you about the Chicago teachers' strike.

    This nimrod wants to "Eliminate all air and water pollution".
    Since he also certainly advocates treating CO2 as air pollution, he can get us all started with the elimination of CO2 production by stopping breathing.

    Oh, grow up. You know what is meant by CO2 pollution. If you don't, then you're probably too stupid to breath and we'll be rid of you soon enough.

    Here is what they are not telling you about the Chicago teachers strike-it's a set-up by mayor Deadfish not to waste a crises and make Obummer the hero. The ONE steps in and settles it.

    First, would you like to share a couple of yours? Second, let's wait and see. I'll be expecting an apology.

    I was just wondering about the effects all these hormones we are putting in foods are having on our younger generations' attention span. we've got these kids pumped up on hormones. no wonder they are having difficulty sitting still.

    The size of a child's attention span is directly proportional to the amount of actual parenting that goes on in the house. I submit that it is the lack of parenting (as opposed to being your kid's BFF) that is the 'cause' of ADD and the rest of the alphabet soup of behavior diagnoses, rather than anything in the food...

    I remember when Steve left the band in '84 and then decided he would never play again in South Africa, no one ever cared and he was back with Bruce as soon as E Street regrouped...whats the point??? You LIBS forget, LOL, Barry had two years of total control to get what he said we needed...Stimulus-failure, auto bail out- failure, Health Care- more than 50% of the folks want it repealed...SO WHAT'S YOUR POINT????
    When are we going to see "content" about the lies regarding the platform vote on "God" from that cheatin' Mayor of LA at the Demo Love Fest last week??? ....Oh yeah, that never happened..LOL!!, too bad..it's on YouTube like the rest of your LIBBY lies for all to see!!!

    Last time I saw Bruce was at the Linc. I think it was '04. I resented paying for music and getting a political lecture. Some things never change.
    You're a musician; I choose to pay you to entertain me. Want to lecture me? You've lost my interest.

    Calling people who disagree with you insulting names -- that's the kind of guy Will loves.

    "The Dems needed to lay out in detail what their thwarted plans would have meant for the American economy"

    Can he also look into his crystal ball and tell me the lottery numbers this weekend?

    If he really knows what would have happened, and not just what he HOPES would have happened, he should at least be able to tell me who will win the super bowl right.

    Do people really fall for that or do these types of ideologues just think the base is really really stupid.

    Little Stevie writing that he's "speaking as an Independent", is like a white person saying they're not racist because they have black friends. Stevie, you're a liberal Democrat, just admit it.
