Coffee party may be winding down ( Colorado )
Craig Daily ^ | April 26, 2010 | Andy Bockelman

The Craig chapter of the coffee party political movement has lost some momentum.

At the coffee party’s Saturday afternoon meeting, organizer Jim Blevins announced that the group might not have any more meetings. His decision was based on attendance, which was limited to three people other than himself.

“It seems like there’s just not enough interest,” he said. “I did what I could to promote it, but almost no one is interested in understanding what’s going on.”

I am looking for a Bill Clinton picture from September or October of 2001.

It was on a day that they announced the suspension of his law license.

It was a picture of him playing his saxaphone with the smoke from 9/11 positioned in the background to make it appear as if it was coming out of his sax.

Anybody?

“I did what I could to promote it, but almost no one is interested in understanding what’s going on.”

Probably he meant that people understood what was going on and aren’t interested in understanding self imposed communism.

Poor puddy.

Yeah, fads are like that. The Pop crowd found something that flashes and pings more than that coffee-thingy. Hey, maybe they should rename it the "Starbucks Party"!

Lost some momentum? What does that mean? They started the coffee car in reverse and backed into a tree?

(Actually, that happened to someone I know last summer.)

Not even government-strength bovine excrement could make this astroturf grow.

"Morgan said he wanted to keep the Coffee party going and encouraged more involvement to combat disinterest.

“We really listen to other people’s comments, and there’s a lot of diversity involved,” Morgan said. “It can be quite an education.”


All four people spanned a vast variety of ethnicities. The picture in the article only showed that they had 50% White Devils. Not shown is the tall imaginary pink rabbit. And of course, the Tooth Fairy. (He was back in his home state, pushing for low-cost Liar Mortgages.)

I imagine they are all out looking for a job or standing in line at the unemployment office.

Applying the MSM filter sets this number at 300,000.

All the pictures of them I’ve seen show a really odd looking bunch of people, not very robust. They were likely there just trying to get picked up!

Nobody likes recycled, bitter coffee grounds.

At least he got one thing correct.

They have no interest in what is actually going on. People of his ilk only care about what they're told to think and feel about it.

They don't need to attend his meetings to get that. They just have to turn on NBC, CBS, CNN MSNBC, NPR, etc, etc, etc.

He's no doubt one of the "enlightened" Left who comes up all manner of twisted explanations for the popularity of Limbaugh, FOX News, etc except the obvious: They offer something different from what all the talking heads pretending to be journalists do, so it's worth the effort.

Even the self-righteous hatred that drives the Left is limited in it's ability to fill rooms when there are so many places available for people to get their fill of the Kool-Aid.

Perhaps it was just a cheap “instant coffee party”?

I would imagine there isn’t a lot of depth to talk about in their agenda of free stuff being their right.

“Lost some momentum.” LOL

That would be like a tenured Hooker claiming that she lost her virginity, again.
