Did the man expect Obama was going to drink it or something?

It shows you the intellect of his enemies, or lack there of.

You Republicans must be so proud of your big tent.

23 percent big!

I'll bet the return address is CPAC.

I heard John Bolton wants to Nuke Chicago.

Bible thumpin extreme right nutbags!

It doesn't say anything in the article about him being a Republican. But when have facts ever mattered to the Democrats and especially the ones on this board?

Again Trixter shows his hatred for anybody that believes the Bible, ALSO with no substantiation from the article. Another one where facts don't matter.

If any one of the very few Republicans on this board had made any of the statements about this being a Democrat every one of you would have come completely unglued.

It just shows the Democrats true colors and intent.

On that note, I'll share what I received in an email today.

One
Big
Ass
Mistake
America

It could be worse, had the GOP won, there would be this:

Palin
PAlin
PaLin

Well, the Republicans are the ones that opened their tent to the 23 percenters, and haven't exactly been model citizens. Those 23 percenters are a serious problem. Good voting bloc, but not a winning one the way things are right now.

The true colors of the Democrats are to run the nation better and step up for ordinary Americans. That is what it is always about.

The intent is to take no shit from obstructionists, who haven't brought new ideas to the table.

If that happens, they will be considered, just like all the other ideas are.

There is lots to be fixed, and there are probably good, conservative solutions to be considered. If so, they need to be brought to the table.

Haven't seen that yet.

Sorry Skybill, the Republican brand is pretty lousy given what has happened. You know, it's perfectly ok to be a conservative and NOT be a Republican.

I sure would consider it!

Was bad enough for me in 2003, I switched. Just having the (R) is a no-vote, even if they are otherwise good people.

Why?

I can't support the 23 percenters, and voting or supporting Republicans, in their current state, does exactly that.

This country needs to break up the two major parties that only seek to serve themselves into something that provides for all of the ideas that are out there an opportunity to be discussed. There needs to be an opportunity for the absolutely smallest government possible folks (Libretarians) to the largest government possible folks (Socialists) and everyone in-between to debate policy choices so that our public policy creation is a deliberate choice rather than posturing between two parties who only want to preserve the status quo of mediocrity. Both of the major parties only want to continue their existence rather than the creation of good public policy.

I believe that for some public policy issues greater government intervention would be the best public policy; on the other hand, for other public policy issues the private sector could provide the needed service much more effectively. The only way we will ever get to that rational evaluation is to allow a broader debate than the current "Nah-Nah-Ne-Nah-Nah, my way is better!" "Says who?" "Says me!" ...school-yard fight that is a poor execuse for rational debate.

I am curious - Skybill? Trixter? -- do either of you see value in my proposition? I am truly interested in knowing if others from apparently different ends of spectrum are seeing anything attrractive in this idea.

Anybody see Obama at the Bulls game tonight? The crowd actually cheered for him. Had it been Bush, there would have been boos. Nuff said.

Just boos? Nope, they'd be throwing their Jordan headbands.

Nice!!

No I didn't see him, but that's cool.

I don't see a third party happening anytime soon.

Where it's at is primary politics. We can and absolutely should be running challengers against marginal politicians. The Internet and how Obama used it has changed the game considerably.

IMHO, the options are to deal, not vote, vote one or the other, waste a vote on a third party, or change one of the existing parties.

A viable third party has to get some seats first, so they can build and be relevant. Even 10 seats would change the game enough to matter. Lobbing one in for the Presidency is just a spoiler, and we pay huge for that.

Not my kind of game. Life is too short to spend that length of time hearing people basically say, "see? If more of you voted, things wouldn't suck right now." It's negative and it hurts people.

Running the challengers really doesn't do that, or at least does it to a much lesser degree, and it serves the dual purpose of putting established members of Congress on notice (always good), and providing a means for other parties or movements to gestate and grow.

Anyone see the two blocks of people protesting Obama yesterday in downtown? No idea what they were chanting, just something about money and Obama.

The guy who sent his HIV infected blood To obama is an idiot!

Now I've read two different stories, and they might have been two different incidents.

One guy sent his Hiv infected blood in a vile, and another guy sliced his hand with a razor blade, dripping his HIV blood all over a letter sent to the president.

These guys are both idiots, for starters, HIV can't live for very long outside the human body. Second, The president does not open his own mail.

Probably 23 percenters.

They are NOT going anywhere soon. Too much of their self worth is tied up in their ideology. Count on them making consistent noise the entire time.

Probably 23 percenters.

Nope. The guy was from Chicago. Therefore he "probably" was a Democrat.

Hey, it makes as much sense as your statement.

Well, I was responding to Mc's post.

That was probably 23 percenters. You know, the Rush Limbaugh power base. Those guys.

Conservatives are still in denial about their failure, aren't they?
Let's all have a little sympathy, shall we ...

"Court documents said Hussein, who takes drugs to treat a mental illness........"

Note his name-Hussein.
Not to stereotype or anything,but...yeah.

He needs different meds,the ones he's on aren't working too great.

Andy, while I don't particularly care for the Democrats, I don't, as the song suggests, relate them to the devil.

And no, I have NO sympathy for the devil.

Nixon: "I am not a crook."

Reagan: "trees cause more pollution than automobiles do,"

Reagan: "we did not, repeat, did not, trade weapons or anything else for hostages, nor will we."

Bush43: “The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.”

Cheney: “Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction.”

"Mission Accomplished"

Bush43: "Brownie, you're doin' a heckuva job!"

"I plot your rubric scarab,
I steal your satellite
I want your wife to be my
Baby tonight, baby tonight

I choose to steal what you chose to show
And you know I will not apologize
You're mine for the taking
I'm making a career of evil

Pay me I'll be your surgeon
I'd like to pick your brain
Capture you inject you
Leave you kneeling in the rain
Kneeling in the rain

I choose to steal what you chose to show
And you know I will not apologize
You're mine for the taking
I'm making a career of evil

I'd like your blue eyed horseshoe,
I'd like your emerald horny toad
I'd like to do it to your daughter on a dirt road

And then I'd spend your ransom money,
But still I'd keep your sheep
I'd peel the mask you're wearing,
And then rob you of your sleep
Rob you of your sleep

I choose to steal what you chose to show
And you know I will not apologize
You're mine for the taking
I'm making a career of evil"

I'm making a career of evil"

Obama's theme song? Or just his mission statement?

Easy fodder!

Well, you forgot the actual evil!

Reagan's Secy of Agriculture James Watt: "an undesirable element [fans of The Beach Boys]"

In 1983, Watt banned The Beach Boys from playing a Fourth of July concert on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., saying that rock concerts drew "an undesirable element";

In 1995, Watt was indicted on 25 counts of felony perjury and obstruction of justice . . . On March 12, 1996 he was sentenced to five years probation . . .

In a 2001 interview, Watt applauded the Bush administration energy strategy and said their prioritization of oil drilling and coal mining above conservation is just what he recommended in the early 1980s. "Everything Cheney's saying, everything the president's saying - they're saying exactly what we were saying 20 years ago, precisely ...

Man, people never learn. Conservatives and thugs, over and over again.

(from wiki)

It could be worse, had the GOP won, there would be this:

PAINlin would have been roasted over an open fire by now.....

"'m making a career of evil"
Obama's theme song? Or just his mission statement?
Easy fodder!"

Clearly, you don't understand what the song is about.
Look up rubric, then reread this entire thread.

It is not the lyric that is easy fodder.

Reading the stories about the guy who sent the HIV-infected blood, I don't see any evidence that this was a partisan act. It sounds more like the guy is just crazy. Was he hoping that the person who opened the envelope would get a paper cut?

He did succeed in one thing: the office where the letters were opened were shut down for two hours and a hazmat team was called in. Thus, taxpayer money was wasted both in containing the potential HIV contamination and in the form of lost productivity. Gee, thanks!

It's an act of terrorism. If I was the president I would be more worried about someone sticking me with an HIV infected needle.
Although I don't think anyone could get close enough to the president to stick him.

Although I don't think anyone could get close enough to the president to stick him.

Did you even watch his speech on Thursday? After the speech he cozied up to enough pages that would make Michelle jealous.

Isn't that a bit dangerous? There are plenty of people out there that want him dead.

Perhaps, but I think Obama has put his love for his country above his own safety.

COULD BE A FAR-LEFT LOONEY LIKE OSWALD IN 1963 NOT SATISFIIED WITH THINGS!!?CUBA THEN, IRAQ NOW???

Again Trixter shows his hatred for anybody that believes the Bible.

Hey IDIOT! I've said time and time again that I'm a believer so you've shown that YOU DON'T Fin READ!
