That's like asking what kind of Tea the Tea Party is representing.

I get a laugh out of the line "SB5 is an attack on the middle and working classes". Not really. It is only affecting the public sector which makes up a small percentage of the middle and working classes.

I don't much care who makes fun of what, but the idea that comparing a group that draws tens of thousands and a group that can barely form a game of Bridge makes one look more than a little silly. Unless I'm mistaken, your lack of an actual answer to my question can only lead on to infer that the answer is no, no one showed up. Am I incorrect?
I suggest if you do not support the cause don't post on the thread.
Well, that's certainly the right attitude for a "Defender of Democracy". If you're going to be consistent with this, you would not post on, much less start threads about office-holders you don't support.
I doubt if many care on here about this group,
Not quite. The correct answer is NO ONE cares, other than a handful of empty-headed blowhards.
but I was curious how many of you are Hippocrates.
As Hippocrates was a Greek physician who has been dead for nearly 24 centuries, I'm guessing none of us are. If the term for which you were scanning both brain cells was "hypocrites", the answer is every single human being on the face of the Earth, to varying degrees. What's your point?

[bold]Thanks for the correction, I beg to differ with you. You seem to be one of the better "hypocrites" on here.[bold]

Well, I'd have to question your judgment on that, as you didn't know what the word was until two minutes ago. I'd welcome an example of anything I've posted here which is an example of actual hypocrisy.

Did you actually state on post #28 that "every single human being on the face of the Earth" is a hypocrite then ask me to prove you are a hypocrite? Now you have me perplexed!

I'm surprised no one pointed out the irony that the "Defenders of Democracy" are against a bill that was passed by a group elected by Democracy.

The term you used was "better hypocrites". Attempting to use my statement against me fails as it doesn't prove the adjective. I'll wait for the example that will never come.

Sounds like they're a bunch of Hippocrates (sic). :)

Unless their guy wins or issue is passed, it is NOT Democracy.

Haven't you figured that out yet? :)

Sleeper, don't try. It's just not worth the effort.

Just SOP from those who think democracy means "it's their way or the highway."
