We understand the need for protesters to stand out, to get noticed by being different. But what’s key is being different without being stupid. That’s the part of the equation that these morons in Florida overlooked.
MyFoxOrlando.com has the overview of the overzealous:
A group of “zombies” gathered outside 8th District Republican Congressman Daniel Webster’s office on Thursday. They weren’t looking for “brains” to eat though. The protesters wore heavy make-up to get in character. They’re members of a group called “Organize Now.”
They describe themselves as an issue-based, community action group. They’re upset that Webster’s supporting Wisconsin Republican Paul Ryan’s budget plan. It includes deep cuts to social security, Medicare and Medicaid. The group says they dressed as zombies to dramatize their message for Webster.
“Organize Now” member Mike Cantone says, “We’re saying don’t work us ’til we die under the Ryan budget, which Congressman Webster did vote for. This budget would eliminate Medicare as we know it and turn it into a voucher system. It would slash Medicaid benefits to seniors, children and people with disabilities who depend on it. And it threatens the future of social security that we all pay into.”
Don’t look now, kids, but the social security that we all pay into is already broke. Politicians have been raiding it for decades. It’s dead as the zombies you’re pretending to be. And it ain’t coming back to life without Ryan’s plan.
We suggest that Republicans stage a counter protest dressed as vampires, symbolizing the government’s on-going effort to suck the lifeblood out of every tax paying citizen.

I think many Democrats are comfortable with the idea of zombies, Dems are already brain dead so it's just a small step to complete zombiedom. Too, the idea of staggering mindlessly through life and living parasitically off the productive living probably appeals to them.
They already don't do anything for the paycheck they're getting. Being a zombie isn't much of a stretch.
They've been drinking the kool-aid for sometime now. Until the money is not there and they wonder where in the hell it went you will never convince most of the liberals that social security 1 is broke and 2 will not survive with out some type of reform.
As for me, just let me take the portion that is being taken out of my check now for social security and invest it. I know that I can do much better than the feds are doing now.
I was actually hoping some true small-government people would do something like this since it looks like a whole lot of Obama/Dem haters are jumping on the Paul Ryan budget bandwagon for the simple reason it's better than the status quo, despite spending a higher % of GDP than Bill Clinton did. Meanwhile, true change like with Rand Paul's plan gets left behind. It's like people don't want Big Government via Obama, but they're happy to push Big Government Lite via Paul Ryan.
True enough. I'll take this reduction in spending, but I want more. I figure that politicians are like dogs -- you have to train them not to crap on the carpet before you can let them in the house.
Finally! Naked Marxists have taken off their masks and we can see them for who they really are.
What next? Marxists in Godzilla suits to protest nuclear power expansion?
A quote from "The Night of the Living Dead"; "If you have a gun, shoot 'em in the head. That's a sure way to kill 'em. If you don't, get yourself a club or a torch. Beat 'em or burn 'em. They go up pretty easy."
The main difference between Zombies and leftists is that a Zomby wants brains.
How dare they to politicize the honest brain-eaters zombies this way! Everybody's talking about an imminent zombie apocalypse, but not this way, not this way, please. With this, progs are up to derail an entire beloved franchise.
Next, vampires care about health care.
