Interesting.

 

Republicans break promises, like how much they intend to cut from the budget, and their constituents tell them to stick to their word or they're gone.

 

Democrats break promises, like closing Gitmo or allowing five days of public comments before signing a bill, and their constituents point out the Republican's broken promises.

 

 

My god, the hypocrisy!!! When did the Democrats start stooping this low? :rolleyes:

Right, I should start a grass roots movement and kick the old lying bums out so we can vote some new lying bums in. I'll call it the Cappuccino Party because I'm a fancy elitist and Cappuccino is fancy. :D

 

In all seriousness, I appreciate your sentiment. I just find myself growing cynical.

Hard not to become cynical but people are trying things - like we know congress will probably never pass campaign finance reform legislation but people are starting up a movement that basically is going to attempt to make large amounts of special interest money, more a detriment and less a benefit- making websites and phone apps where you can find out where any candidate is getting his money. Starting a Meme that disqualifies any candidate who is seen on a TV ad or heard on a radio ad from getting your vote. Setting up sites that where media is cheap like YT where candidates can legitimately dissemination information.

Dude I'm so cynical I check my wife's ID before we have sex. But I'm tired of the status quo and I've got to do something. We can't keep electing the same pieces of crap.

 

Well, if you had checked my wife's I.D. first you might not have ended up sleeping in the wet spot you and Frank created together. :oops:

 

Oh, and BTW you should probably go and get checked out. :oops::oops::oops:

I'm not a tea party member but I will tell you those people are pissed and that's what we need. We don't need people shruggng their shoulders and saying "oh well, we tried." The tea party members are paying attention and if the people they elected don't follow what they want they'll keep trying until the get what they want. That is exactly what this country needs. Good for them.

 

 

Maybe this will make you smile:

Hearing that Kucinich may try to push for Obama impeachment. He may be the "nut-job" element of the Democratic party, as Bachman and the likes are, to the Republican party.

I suppose none of you have considered the fact that regardless of whether these planned protests are real, or contrived(<--um, reality), the Republicans have exactly 0 motivation to respond to them. In fact, the Republicans have every reason to welcome them because regardless of whether they are real or contrived, they can negotiate based on "the will of the people...look at them in the streets"!

 

Democrats don't seem to realize that:

dissension on the right is a good thing for the right, because it energizes the TEA party, and they scare the crap out of the moderates, which in turns makes them less likely to sign up for a weak deal.

however, dissension on the left is a terrible thing, because, it demoralizes both the moderates and the far-left, because a Democrat is in the WH. Obama was set up as a Messiah, and he isn't. "Green Jobs" and "Shovel-Ready Jobs" and Obamacare were sold as "not the same old theoretical liberal intellectual, wishful thinking, but practical solutions to problems", and they aren't. There are still the socialist-type Dems who won't admit they were wrong, and, the moderate-type Dems that are pissed at them for that, and for being duped into buying the stupid far-left ideas of professors from Berkley, again.

 

The little, "turtle-without-a-shell" types like Kucinich only serve to exacerbate these divisions, so if he or another easily squishable candidate like Feingold runs, Obama is done. Hillary is the only real chance the Dems have of keeping the Whitehouse. Otherwise, "not Obama" will get elected, just like "not Bush" did.

 

McCain/Palin was the much better choice, right?

No. Hillary Clinton/Bill Richardson was the much better choice, and a choice that would have guaranteed a second term.

 

Unfortunately, Democrats decided to let the far-left be in charge of picking their nominee, and you know what happens Gene, when you let the far left be in charge, right?

Dear Obsolete-Cuntservative you don't really kill threads just make them lose the will to live.

No, it's simple really: when you can't argue with the content, you have to try to argue about process instead. It's an old trick.

 

Unfortunately for you, and Gene, neither of you are ever able to argue with me on content, so the only thing you ever have is process.

 

Which is why nobody takes what you post seriously, ever. Gene to a lesser extent.

Dear Only Crap, your name defines your content, no one is paid enough to wade through your "content".

Lyrbob, you are an unmitigated moron, professing to actually have some merit or purpose in life. When you know you're caught or trapped you run away. You made some statements awhile back re the housing crisis and the real estate and mortgage industries. I asked you what expertise you had in the fields. In fact, after asking you numerous times I still haven't received an answer. Another poster asked you why you hadn't answered me and you told them you had me on "ignore". Well, you must have taken me off "ignore" because you responded to me in the Tea Party thread that I started. Now that I'm off "ignore" will you answer the question? What is your expertise in the real estate and mortgage industries?

The deal is done and I am right, again.

 

 

Too bad Gene (says he) doesn't read my posts: he might have learned something.

Too bad Democrats in general don't read my posts: they might stop getting their asses kicked.

Too bad for ...lybob in general, because he has no concept of: what I wrote, what happened, why it's significant, or why I was right.

 

(Edit: looks like I was right about my perpetual onwing of ...lybob as well :D)

Dear On Crack,

Please put me down.

Sincerely Yours,

The Pipe
