you know, as a way to maybe snap them out of their stupor? being a smart ass, all i can think of is, 'i told you so you fucking idiot', or, 'so you fucking finally grew a fucking clue huh'?, neither of which gets good results.

is there possibly a way to get through to them through their republican fog, using some linguistic trickery or strategy like flattery or reason? or is it a waste of words? any suggestions?

2. No.
Waste of time.

Did you hear that "Nick" character anytime on AAR yesterday? He called just about every show (Randi, Sam, Peter on Mike Malloy) trying to spew GOP talking points.

People like that are beyond hope.

3. Not sure but it'll probably require an unflattering remark about Clinton.

4. Ask them why they support the idiot Bush? Ask for one thing he has

accomplished. They will say "made us safe" or "Moral Valises" cut thru the BS until they realize he has shit on them as much as he has shit on us.

ask them if they like being identified with the culture of Crime Cronyism and corruption the the Greedy Old Party has shown itself to be.
What crime? Billion missing in Iraq
The Chief Procurement officer for the Government BUSTED
Delay Indicted
Libby Indicted
KKKarl going down soon
and on and on and on

6. bushies are so submersed in bush-o-mania that they will never see........
the truth or accept the fact their icon has fallen from grace. To attempt to make them see or believe anything else is a waste of breath.

10. After *'s Katrina speech
I told my crazy, fundy, bush supporting land lady that I loved his speech and I couldn't believe bush could be such a liberal. I told her I thought it was a wonderful speech. She disagreed. LOL.

11. I'll leave that up to others.
I tried that for a long time, but it was useless (except for a couple of rare cases).

Now, I don't give a fuck about their feelings anymore, especially since my city was destroyed by the leader they elected. I am a lean mean fightin' machine and I take no prisoners! :D

13. I ask them "were you fooled or did you know & go along with it anyway?"

I honestly want to know whether they weren't paying attention or whether they knew Iraq was a bad idea and went along with it for ulterior motives.

Tons of Democrats too. They knew it was a bad idea but they went along with it anyway.

- they liked their tax cut
- they liked cutbacks in affirmative action
- they liked the idea of a little post 9/11 military dominance and maybe some secure (cheap) oil supplies
- they liked the idea of protecting Israel a little more
- they liked the illusion of making the world a safer place, a place where marriage was safe and kids are safe and a firm leader patriots our act to keep us in line
