Midterm WHAM, COCK IN THE ASS!!!
November 9th 2006, 12:33 CET by Jibble Will there be even more political scandals? Will the Democrats take advantage of the wind in their sails? Will we finally see an investigation on Iraq, Diebold, Delay, Abramoff, Hastert, 9/11, or detainee torture? Yes, no, and no. Of course, it's always fun to talk about it. What's up for grabs in your local election? Do you support any candidate in particular? Why or why not? Been a while since we had an actual factual political topic around here, and it's time to get the discussion out of the damned Kerry Wins! thread. |

I still can't believe that Jefferson got the most votes in Louisiana. I know he'll probably lose in the run-off, but man. $100,000 in bribe money in your freezer and you still got voted back into office? I understand the anti-Republican sentiment in the state, but that's a bit too far to go. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

Alot of Republicans are reacting to the election in a surprisingly mature way. I was expecting everyoe to be yelling and screaming about how Pelosi was going to try to legalize sex with children and pull out of Iraq by November 10th. Instead many seem to be taking it as sign that Bush has ruined the party and they need to return to their focus on small government and less spending. I'm also hoping that the election causes them to love the Christian Right a little less. In short, thanks for not being crybabies.

I think they all realize that there's no point to that kind of display. They only bother to put on the "DEMOCRATS ARE TERRAR!" mask when the elections are coming up. They know what the last two years of a lame duck presidency looks like from the other side, so they're trying to avoid a repeat. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

Yeah, for all the shit that was going on before the election (from all sides), things have been pretty calm since, it seems. |^^^^^^^^^^^^ |||__

Just don't listen to talk radio if you want to continue with the idea that republicans are reacting nicely. :D I love me some me. | "Aren't I on record as loving trannies?" - McBain

You know why guys like Rush don't mind when Dems win? It gives him more cannon fodder. I watched Aliens, and I didn't even get a lousy t-shirt.

Just don't listen to talk radio if you want to continue with the idea that republicans are reacting nicely. :D I read an article about Rush's first day back aftr the election. It was saying he was doing the asme thing, going on about how the GOP needed to return to being conservative, etc. Maybe that was only one day though.

They're too busy in a back room somewhere with Rove and Cheney, going over the genius evil plan they set in motion last year to lose Congress and turn America into a dictatorship! Karl Rove is a genius! The Republicans are going to win! Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

Rush is right. The Republicans need to go back to their true conservative roots if they really want to win people back. Problem is that the Democrats may beat them to it if they can use the next two years to dismantle the ridiculous overreaches of the Federal government that the 'pubs have worked so hard to put in place over the last few years. The first 100 hours are going to be very telling. If they can lop lobbyists off the teat of floor votes and earmarks (surprising that there's no mention of changing campaign finance laws), they'll win an awful lot of favor with voters. Also, people will vote for them in droves if they raise the minimum wage, cut student loan interest rates in half, and lower prescription costs. That really needs to be the direction they go. They could spend the next two years locked in a prosecution nightmare, or they can help the vast majority of this country that works their asses off trying to pay off their student loans and deal with rising health care costs. The latter seems better to me. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

#21 by Jibble I think they all realize that there's no point to that kind of display. I think it's less of seeing no point in it and more of seeing it as a strategy mistake. Acting like bitter crybabies won't make 08 any easier, nor will acting like vengeful crybabies. Right now the smart move is playing it moderate while getting some potential presidential candidates out there to spin it as their parties doing. |

That's kind of what I meant, None. Regardless of how we paint these guys as a bunch of children, they know what they're doing and they know what it means if they start having bitch sessions in view of the public. Bush's 180 is a good indicator of approximately how things are going to go for the next two years. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards.

Heh. I love Bush's optimism. "I'm open to any idea or suggestion that will help us achieve our goals of defeating the terrorists and ensuring that Iraq's democratic government succeeds." In other words, I'm open to anything that achieves my previously stated unrealistic goals. Good luck with that, buddy. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards.

The next 2 years are going to be great. I can't wait to watch Bush flail. |
|
I loved the clip from question period last night where the reporter quoted Nancy Pelosi as calling Bush incompetent "as recently as an hour ago", and Bush had to eat it and smile and say "you can't hold grudges in this business." It takes a community to abandon a child.

It is? You're basing that one what? On how the independent vote went, and how it always goes. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" — "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

I spent election night in a Philadelphia bar surrounded by a bunch of liberal wackos (Planned Parenthood, radical enviromentalists, etc). Happiest bunch of hippies I've seen in a long time. They didn't even notice that the big-screen they were watching was cutting off Wolf Blitzer's head. Game Developers: Don't forget the zombie monkeys.

I've been taking great pleasure in reading the comments at various batshit insane right-wing sites like Captain's Quarters, Little Green Footballs and National Review Online. Reactions range from "the MSM lost us this election" to "Bush not being conservative enough lost us this election" to "Howard Dean lost us this election" to "don't worry, the Democrats being incompetent will win us the next election" to "conservatism won this election so... um... yay!" to "yeah... but what's THEIR plan for victory?" to "OMG Democrats are going to surrender in Iraq and give illegal aliens amnesty and kill babies and raise taxes and exhume Reagan's corpse for a necromantic gangbang!" to "We need a new Reagan... um, how about just a new Newt?" to "Pelosi is the Antichrist" to "I don't care what happens now as long as Hillary doesn't win in '08". It's highly enjoyable to watch. |

What's the general opinion on instant withdrawal of troops from Iraq on pc? For? Against? it's been raining all night, your grass is still wet
too bad you're not the one I need to forget one each for walks and for talks, you're miss attraction-distraction a desperate interaction until I see some other plan of action |
|
Sounds like a great idea! Things are going so great there the troops aren't needed. Sarcasm aside, Iraq is a dangerous place now, without any US troops I figure it will be a far more perilous place. Somehow I don't see the insurgents stopping just because the troops leave. |^^^^^^^^^^^^ |||__

We should pump all the oil out of Iraq into a giant space balloon, and then leave them to their civil war and pseudo-ethnic cleansing. The hose from the space balloon can be moved around the world (or there could be multiple hoses) delivering the oil where it's needed, and it would be gravity fed. It takes a community to abandon a child.
|
|
I'm sure Iraq will sort itself out fine, it's just a matter of getting everyone on the same page. And killing everyone else. Today Officer Coon, Officer Nigger-hater, and Officer Keep-darky-down were acquitted of all racist charges.
|

Instant pull out is impractical. A staged withdrawal is best. Funk. |

What's all this 'pulling out' talk? Onward to victory I say! Item Number Fuck on my agenda? Swoop home like a fuck-falcon and fuck my old lady like I love her.

Monty I've been taking great pleasure in reading the comments at various batshit insane right-wing sites like Captain's Quarters, Little Green Footballs and National Review Online. I don't know if that Little Green Footballs site is funny so much as fascinating, like observing some kind of strange social experiment. Well some bits are funny, like I saw a comment saying that some Democrat list of things to investigate was "the beginning of the end... like the French Revolution" and that "instead of executioners and guillotines we'll have lawyers and paperwork". It amused me that they'd choose a parallel where people overthrew a government comprised of out-of-touch elite and is also something that's traditionally bonded the US and France. But then, from all the other comments it looks like they really hate the French, and not in a good way either. MP3 Of The Week: The Undertones - Soul Seven.mp3 (?)

My favourite commenter is this guy called Svolich, who hasn't quite been singing the Happy Happy Joy Joy song. The dems have made three things clear - Talk talk with Iran Talk talk with North Korea Withdraw from Iraq. With those in place, we don't have to worry about the election in 2008. Washington won't be there in 2008, along with most of our port cities. Rightwingers are so optimistic at the moment! |
|
well, that really ain't all that different from the gloom and doom that happened on this board 2 years ago. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" — "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

I'm still pretty disappointed in the American public, as a whole. The number of people who voted for Republicans in spite of everything is depressing. It takes a community to abandon a child.
|
|
Well, no it's not, but would you say that with the wiretapping, and the torture, and all the other things that have actualy happened since then, it wasn't justified? It isn't a Fallout game unless I use my pickpocketing skill to place a ticking dynamite bomb into the pockets of an 8 year old boy.

I'm still pretty disappointed in the American public, as a whole. The number of people who voted for Republicans in spite of everything is depressing. That's the whole party loyalty thing, which I hate. I never understood being loyal to a party because they sound like they represent you. On the other side of that though, this was a serious of local elections, and not all those repubs that were re-upped were evil baby killing bastards. Then you see someone like Chaffee, who really was R in name only, and had of all things a 60 percent approval rating, get tossed because of that R. I mean, I'm sure you have people in your country that just vote the same over and over again. Anything people can do to give up thinking, they will. Well, no it's not, but would you say that with the wiretapping, and the torture, and all the other things that have actualy happened since then, it wasn't justified? Sure it is. The other side always bitches and whines and goes on about the worst case scenario. Just because this time it actually was worse than that doesn't mean it's different, it just means this time it was correct. And if taxes go up even a penny, you'll have repubs going, "See! See!" Doesn't change that the bitching will happen. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" — "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

To be fair, while the Republicans deserve to be voted out, the Democrats kind of lurked their way through the campaign. It will be interesting to see what their policies will actually be. |
|
That's exactly the campaign the Conservatives ran here in Canada, and it worked for them too. When you're running against a party that's riddled with scandal and corruption, you talk about yourself as little as possible and them as much as possible. It takes a community to abandon a child.
|
|
I'm also seeing increasingly more of this sort of thing in the rightwing comments: Starting to look like the only guaranteed way that the country would swing sufficiently right again is if we're attacked ala 9/11. These fuckos are actually barracking for another attack because it would suit their domestic political agenda. Amazing. |

To be fair, while the Republicans deserve to be voted out, the Democrats kind of lurked their way through the campaign. It will be interesting to see what their policies will actually be. It only looks like lurking when the MSM won't bother to cover you at all because they have a love affair with the party in power. Pelosi had a 100 hour agenda a month ago, but only now does it make front page. Though I do agree with you on that second part. I want to see what they actually do. That's what I was saying before ... how was this even close? How was this even a question or a race? People are retarded. Look at the ratings for Fox News. "Well, my dad's a republican and Bill O'Reilly said and..." As for the war opinion, I'll just be happy to have people in control that understand the clusterfuck that it is. After that, I'm against an immediate withdrawl. Work with others in the region to try and reach stability, but stop wasting soldiers on policing a civil war. Slow and steady withdrawl, let the Iraqis become responsible. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

I don't think there is a way to withdraw from Iraq gracefully. There are too many militarised forces holed up there who are armed to the teeth, ready to Vietnam the place up as soon as the occupiers leave. It was a terrible decision to invade in the first place, and nothing good can come of it. Something that isn't getting any coverage is the role of Halliburton and other American contractors. If the troops withdraw and things go to shit, won't Bush's cronies lose a hell of a lot of money in reconstruction contracts? |
