We may be stupid, but we're going to kick your ass - again - in 2008.
"If I am president, I guarantee you, we will
never find out what they will do if they get nuclear weapons, because they are
not going to get a nuclear weapon." -- Rudy the cross-dressing,
gay-loving gun-grabber, giving his Nancy Grace Guarantee on events
that are clearly out of his control, Link
Republicans can't even bring electricity to Baghdad.
How can Rudy guarantee he can stop all nations from nuking up?
Hell, Republicans can't get fresh water to New Orleans in five
days.
How are they going to do something that's difficult?
Excerpt: "What is it about Mr. Gore that drives right-wingers
insane?" Paul Krugman asked. "Partly it's a reaction to
what happened in 2000, when voters chose Gore
but his opponent somehow ended up in the White House.
"Both the personality cult the Right tried to
build around Bush and the often hysterical denigration of Gore were,
I believe, largely motivated by the desire to
expunge the stain of illegitimacy from the Bush administration."
But the major U.S. news media, including Krugman's
own newspaper, appears to have acted with much
the same goal, protecting Bush's legitimacy at
the start of his presidency and insulating him from doubts
about his competence after the 9/11 attacks.
This favoritism toward Bush dates back even further
to early 2000 when Gore was depicted as a "delusional"
braggart and Bush was the "straight shooter"
who would bring the "adults" back to Washington.
To this day, no reporter has ever asked,
"How many felonies have you been convicted
of or pled guilty to, Sir?" Yet we know everything about every
woman whose cleavage ever got Clinton's attention.
Excerpt: Worried about antagonizing Turkish leaders, House
members from both parties have begun to withdraw
their support from a resolution backed by the
idiotic Democratic leadership that would condemn as genocide
the mass killings of Armenians nearly a century
ago. Almost a dozen lawmakers had shifted against the measure
in the last 24-hours, accelerating a sudden exodus
that has cast deep doubt over the measure's prospects.
Is there no limit to the Democrats' stupidity?
(No need to answer that...)
I heard Stenny Hoyer (Or is it Henny Stoyer?) argue this on Wolf the
Whore.
His arguments were so bad, I assumed they were written by Bill Richardson.
He we are, busy losing two wars at once, and our idiot representatives
go out of their way
to screw with the host of the main pipeline of supplies and equipment
to our soldiers?
And they do this over a 100-years gone problem?
Wolf the Whore asked, "Why now?" and
Henny said, "Why not now?"
as though
an interruption of supplies and equipment to our boys in a losing war
was a great idea.
Henny said, "I've been in congress 26 years,
and for 25 of them, the Turks have never said, 'This is a good time to condemn
us for genocide!' "
What?
Why can't Democrats think?
Why aren't they smarter than Ol' Bart's IQ of 64?
If you can't outwit Wolf the Whore in a debate, you need to leave congress.
How did this never-heard-of-this-guy get so much power?
Bart, when it comes to Hillary, you're such a
tool.
Odd that we can disagree and still I don't
insult you.
When asked about 2013, she could have said
"I'm
not going to guarantee anything that I don't have control over. However, when I assume
the office of the presidency, among my first tasks will be to start removing American troops
for a permanent withdrawal. Within three months we will have safely removed 30%. This process
will proceed until all of our troops are out".
As I write this, Dems in Congress have already
indicated that they will vote to absolve the
telecommunication companies of any liability
concerning giving Bush phone records prior to- 9-11).
Don't you get it?
These people aren't on your or my side.
They've sold us out, and that includes Hillary.

So what are you going to do - shoot up a Post Office?
Send snippy e-mails to blogs?
Vote for a 2 percent candidate like the last two times?
Like many dreamers, you're ignoring the reality in front of you.
Your answer is to ask, "Why aren't things
different?" which solves nothing.
"You're frowning in there and you're distracting
me. This is supposed to be the happiest three hours of your day!
Oh, your arm is in pain? Oh, okay. Well, I won't ask what you've been

clock, waiting to masturbate again,

"We had a story about a woman who hosts a talk
show on Err America... I'm not going to mention her
name to protect her. She is literally insane, and the more people find out about
her the more people will know that she's -- you know -- ready for the funny
farm." -- the poor Pigboy, who lost in

"Gasoline prices are ...in some places coming
down. How can this be? You know what the answer is? The economy
is growing!" -- Poor Rush, getting it wrong,

Butt Rush, a growing economy means factories
are humming and deliveries are being made.
How do we use less gas in a booming economy?
As a matter of fact, YOU GUYS always
cite the booming economy in India and China
for the reason oil went from $19 to $88 under Bush
Excerpt: Check this out: An aide to GOP leader Mitch "The
Bitch" McConnell has acknowledged that he sought
to alert reporters to the wingnut smearing of
12-year-old SCHIP posterkid Graeme Frost...It has been
reported already that an email from a McConnell
aide went out to reporters telling them of the winger attack.
But this appears to be the first time that McConnell's
people are publicly acknowledging their role in trying to
push mainstream reporters into joining the attack
on young Graeme. Stewart acknowledged to the paper that
he'd done this as "part of regular conversation
with reporters."
What makes this story even better is that after
McConnell's aide tried to get reporters to push the story,
he quickly realized a few hours later that the
whole thing was a big sham and tried to call reporters off.
..and again, they don't have to pay a price
for fucking up this bad?
They tried to screw this poor coma kid and don't have to pay a penalty?
Did Howard Dean die?
Put me in charge of the DNC for 30 days - how bad a job could I do?
Could I screw things up more than our dorks have screwed things so far?
I would administer discipline. I would make these bastards pay - again
and again and again.
If you don't make them pay a price, they'll just keep on with their
bad behavior.
Have you even been in a store where some kid was just being an obnoxious
little bastard?
And the Mom keeps saying, "If I count to ten and
you're still doing that, you're in trouble."
So the idiot Mom counts - "1, 2, 3, 4, 5"
and the whole time her obnoxious little Damien
is slamming shit and knocking stuff over and Mom's all, "6,
7, 8, 9" and just before she
gets to ten, Damien stops being a prick long enough for Mom to stop
counting.
But then 3 minutes later, the little obnoxious bastard is at it again,
so our Democratic Mom,
like the pink-tutu fool she is, probably on the advice of Bob Shrum,
starts counting again.
If *I* was that kid's parent, I'd count a different way.
"That's one slap you've earned," "That's two slaps you've earned," "That's three slaps you've earned," ...and when we are alone, I'd administer justice and the little bastard
would learn
that when you fuck up, you have to pay a price - but our Democrats
aren't that smart!
Seriously, they need me sooooooooooo badly in Washington.
How can these "successful" politicians be so lame, meek and stupid?
They need an infusion of Bartcop-ism and they need it f-ing yesterday.
Excerpts: Crude oil prices continued a months-long bullish
run with another record-setting day: On Oct. 16, the price
for a barrel of light sweet crude surged $1.48,
to settle at $87.61 on the New York Mercantile Exchange,
the highest mark recorded since contracts started
trading on the exchange.
What's driving the latest bull run? Many analysts
point to growing global demand amid tightening supplies.
In the latest, Turkey says it's considering sending
troops into northern Iraq to pursue Kurdish guerrillas.
Concerns that such actions could disrupt oil
supplies in the Middle East drove prices higher yet again,
capping a $9 rally that started last week."
Remember how you always wanted a little scooter? Maybe now's the
time.
> I failed to grasp why they went to such lengths
to smear Gore.
Smearing Gore has been the MSM's fall-back occupation
since he first announced for the presidency in 1999.
Why? My simplified answer is that they don't
like him because he's so much smarter than they are.
It's the same reason they've hated Hillary from
the get-go. They're insecure around people they feel inferior to.
It's why they were so comfortable accepting Bush.
He makes them all feel like geniuses.
They're small, petty and mean, and it's a shame
they rule our discourse.

Excerpt: Stephen Colbert has announced his candidacy for
president on "The Colbert Report,"
tossing his satirical hat into the ring of an
already crowded race.
"I shall seek the office of the president of the
United States," Colbert said Tuesday on his show
as red, white and blue balloons fell around him.
Colbert, 43, had recently satirized the coyness
of would-be presidential candidates by refusing
to disclose whether he would seek the country's
highest office a refusal that often came without
any prompting.
Shortly before making the announcement, Colbert
appeared on "The Daily Show" and played cagey,
claiming he was only ready to consider a White
House bid. He quickly pulled out a bale of hay
and a bottle of beer to show that he was "an
Average Joe."
"Hillary now has 51 percent of Democrats with
8 other candidates in the race.... Meanwhile, Giuliani is struggling at
26 percent of the Republican vote." -- CNN (Yet their headline
was "Hillary faces many pitfalls")
"Bush's approval rating has fallen from a low
of 29 percent to a new low of 24..." -- MSNBC
This call to arms for Democratic investors from the cofounders of Blue
Investment Management,
an ethical investment fund. The Blue Index-the companies in the S&P
500 that are socially
responsible and have also supported Democrats over the last five election
cycles outperform
the market by nearly 20%, and outperform red S&P 500 companies
by 23%, they assert.
Excerpt: Even if the trading in futures markets were benign,
the trades themselves add to price. Every trade has a
cost built in, and every gallon of oil is being
traded multiple times. From the NY Mercantile Exchange website:
"Crude oil is the world's most actively traded
physical commodity. ...The futures contract is the most liquid
trading instrument for crude oil, with daily
trading volume averaging the equivalent of 230 million barrels
of crude, approximately three times physical
daily output."
It's easy to over-think why a barrel of oil is so expensive.
The bottom line is, each time Bush engages in saber-rattling, oil goes
up.
Each time Bush makes a mistake, (He makes a lot of them) oil goes up.
IF
you took your ten year old son to Disney World every time he came home
with
an "F" on his report card, why would you expect him to do any better
than an "F?"
Every time Bush screws up, the average American family pays an extra
$5 a week to fill the car.
At last count, Exxon - just Exxon - was making $75,000
profit per minute. Since Bush
continues to screw up everything he touches, soon they'll make $100,000
profit per minute.
The oil companies keep saying, "All we're doing
is passing on higher costs," but that's a lie.
If they just passed on higher costs, their profits wouldn't keep rising,
but the Democrats are
too stupid and too sacless to state the facts - so get ready for $100
a tank.
I may not be very smart, but I know human nature.
Bush and his oil buddies get richer every time he screws up.
Why steal oil that's worth $40 a barrel when you can steal oil at $100?
"This is a limited program designed to prevent
attacks on us. And I repeat, limited. And it's limited to calls from outside the

making a call, but all the people that customer called, as well as the people those people called." --Think Progress,

Here we go again - Bush doesn't have to pay a price for that?
The press whores never even asked
Bush about that today and the damn press conference lasted an
hour or so. The whore press was joking
with this war criminal nstead of asking him why he was breaking
the law and raping the Constitution.
Hell, that could be our motto next year:
"Make them pay a price for their crimes. Make them pay a price for 5000 dead
soldiers. Make them pay a price for $100 tanks
of gas. Make them pay a price for looting the
Treasury. Make them pay a price for making us
a torture nation. Make them pay a price for kidnapping
the innocent. Make them pay a price for torturing
the innocent. Make them pay a price for "Free Speech
Zones" Make them pay a price for arresting
a guy wearing a t-shirt. Make them pay a price for covering
up Pat Tillman's murder. Make them pay a price for murdering
the city of New Orleans. Make them pay a price for outing Valerie
Plame. Make them pay a price for drunk Cheney
shooting that guy. Make them pay a price for the Libby
pardon. Make them pay a price for Enron writing
energy legislation. Make them pay a price for pushing blacks
off the voter rolls.. Make them pay a price for every lie
they told and every crime they committed."
At least Hillary has been a Senator and spent
many years in the White House
- not as a librarian like Pickles, but as a someone
actually involved, and with
a law degree, and a husband with whom she's been
involved in world affairs.
You were right to ask how chimpy qualified.
Let's not forget Harriet Miers.
Who made her Supreme Court Justice?
At least the electorate was awake enough to call
"bullshit" on that one.

Excerpt: James Carville predicted that Jeb Bush will be
the Republican nominee in 2008.
Carville bolstered his prediction, highlighting
Jeb Bush's career:
He was a successful governor of a large state,
he enjoys the support of social conservatives,
he speaks Spanish, and "he's somebody the party
could rally around," Carville said.
"There is nobody in this field who can rally the
Republican Party; he's the only person
in America that can do it," he added.
It was shocked the day I realized I was smarter
than the president of the United States.
Now, I learn I know more about the 2008 race
than Carville, because Jeb ain't getting shit.
James, did you lose a bet?
What in the Wide Wide World of Sports makes you
think that this country would
even remotely consider a Republican in 2008,
much less one of those Bush bastards?
James, maybe it's time you took your victories and retired because you're
"off your ball."
Maybe you're just having a bad week or whatever, but you're crazy-wrong
about Jeb.

Just so you know, people in this country get far
less than the $860 promised to veterans.
I have 2 friends on Social Security Disability
who earn less than $620 a month. The battle begins here.
But, I am not knocking vets or their pay.
I am a vet of the Cold War era, and my pay started
at around $250 a month. Vets have NEVER
gotten a fair break as far as pay and "retirement",
and NEVER will. That is part of the sacrifice
one makes for the privilege of serving one's country.
That's just the way it is in our 'free' nation.

Excerpt: Let the following serve as a lesson to organizers
of the current snoozers that pass for presidential debates:
First, take a controversial learning institution.
Say, Regents University in Virginia, founded by con man Pat Robertson.
Pick two pairs of debaters. Put Max Cleland and
pot-wrangler Barry McCaffery on one side.
Set up Fascist dog Karl Rove and not-going-to-be-president
Jeb Bush on the other.
This will happen on Oct. 26. Witnesses will be
charged $40.
Splatter sheets will be provided to occupants
of the first three rows.
So far as we know, this will be the first time
Rove and Cleland have met. Rove was the un-American slut.whore
who ran the TV ad that paired the triple-amputeed,
Vietnam veteran with an image of Osama bin Laden.
You can't get any lower than that, yet Cleland and the Democrats failed
to make him pay a price.
If I ran the DNC, that son of a bitch would still
be paying on that mother-effer.
> "You merge the departments of Energy and
EPA (elevated to cabinet level) > and THAT is where you put Gore.Phase
out the power of Big Oil."
Gore is an atomic power guy. The major money in
atomic power is big oil. The big plus for Big Oil
with atomic power is a) NO accountablity, every
government in the world gives atomic power
immunity from consequences, and b) LOTS
of subsidies - the oil industry has to pay for itself.
And before the Greenhouse Gas story blows up again:
More CO2 is created per KW with atomic energy
than with natural gas power stations if you
include mining, shipping and processing of the nuclear power
source; less than with brown coal, though.
The minus is, what do we do with the deadly wastes?
Start a war and dump them in a foreign country?
I bet some of those wastes are MUCh better than DU for that.
Or use them as landfill in places like
New Orleans? And Osama bin Laden would LOVE a country with
potential A-Bombs all over the countryside, just
waiting to be used...
Excerpt: In my somewhat lengthy time watching presidents,
I have never seen any president whine as much as Bush does.
Bush looked like the school yard bully that no
body is afraid of anymore. Most of you didn't see this because
Bush always holds his press conferences in the
middle of the day when most Americans are working. Today it was
held when most businesses across the country
are in full working mode. Bush holds these news conferences during
the day because he and his handlers know very
few of us are able to watch him and therefore don't get to see live
and up close what a complete buffoon he is.
Our motto for
this year is - "No Anti-Bush Site Left Behind".
