IDBillzFan Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 The [very predictable] GOP reaction to this makes them look even more like idiots. First, it's clear they were blindsided. THEN they start with the attacks. I agree. The liberals were much better with Lieberman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erynthered Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I agree. The liberals were much better with Lieberman. I can almost see RE telling obama that if this swine flu takes hold that they could use it to advance their agenda: Hey bam? ummm ah, what? just think if this flu thing takes hold! ummm ahh umm what? Yeah, there will be nobody left to oppose are agenda! umm ahh umm, Yeah? Ok! Are you listening? Yeah, people dieing is a good thing, I like it. Well, Cheney and Bush did it, why cant we? can I still play basketball? are you listening? No you're an idiot. Where's Pelosi? Who? No one, you're her B word, remember? What? Oh yeah, sorry. How bout that Spector dude, eh? Who? The PA Sen, switching sides. Oh great another Barney Frank on the team. No No No. God you're an idiot. What? Nothing, good night TOTUS. <satire> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erynthered Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 He voted against the Rep party line 33% of the time but often, the Dems and Repubs agree and therefore he probably will still be against the Dems 1/3 of the time. (The odds of me caring enough to figure out how often he voted against the Repubs on issues where the Dems and Repubs had opposite stances is nil.) OBTW. Get out the legal pad for your notes tonight. The Rat pack songs are tonight (just heard it on the tele). Thats more important then this, thats for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keukasmallies Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 All the very best to Arlen do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do Specter. I'm thinkin' the people of PA are just pissed....how to waste a vote. Of course, there is the arguement that any time you vote for a politician you waste a vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_fan Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Case and point bills_fan Point taken. Wait till the dems lose big in 2010. The uber-libs telling people what a republican should be The republican party hasn't been conservative enough since 1988. Yes, I think Bush was too moderate. By conservative do you mean social conservative or fiscal conservative? Cause Bush spent like a drunken sailor, he was horrific to small gov't advocates. If you mean social conservative...well that will only further marginalize and regionalize the party and you will see very little gains in 2010. If the Republican party wants to turn it around they MUST embrace small gov't and balance the budget. That has to be their message; anything else is far too divisive. Many Republicans (except maybe the defense industry NeoCons), some Blue Dog Dems and a ton of Independents can agree on smaller gov't. Once the tax hikes from Obama hit, the Republicans will have a chance to position themselves as the party of lower taxes and smaller gov't. If they can draw off some Obama independents (due to the size of the tax increase and the profligate spending), they have a chance to make a comeback. Embracing social conservativism or NeoCon foreign policy will kill the party, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erynthered Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Oh BS! Ive been here too long for that to be remotely true. I'll disagree. Don't you think that some, including myself try to push the buttons? Its a freakin message board Dude. I really don't think the left here is as far left as they purport themselves to be, nor the right for that matter. If you think that way you're an idiot.
