How would you respond to this post?
This arrogant SOB is always putting Democrats down in another forum. I am not a so eloquent writer. Could you please give me some ideas on how to respond to this idiot?

Date: 7/18/03 6:58 PM
From: Shadow

Once upon a time a political party led by a profiteer in a now bankrupct firm spent considerable time claiming that the front runner of the opposing party was a moron.

Cries were heard down the assembled throngs of intellectual misfits and miscreants of "He's a moron". This party offered a candidate who alternated between an Alpha Male and A black Preacher and then to a potted tree. He was a masterful inventor who singlehandedly invented the Earned Income Tax Credit, the Internet, and who was the subject of "Love Story" along with his mental halfwit, Tippermental.

And so the battle between the Nothing Man and the Moron raged across the country. The Nothing Man had all the trappings of a winner....an economy that was just starting to tank, a President using the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to temporarily lower energy prices for that Tuesday in November, and a charisma that eliminated the need to purchase "No Doze".

Against him was running a Son of a Bush who had born again sobriety, a nack for fumbling with words exceeding 'a', 'and', and 'the' and who seemed proud that he couldn't name the foreign leader of some goat-herding country.

The Nothing Man morphing so many times that it could no longer be ascertained he was a man went head to head with the moron and looked as shrill and outclassed by a man missing his dunce cap. Debate after Debate, the Nothing man went back to the drawing board and tried something, anything, that would make him look....human. The dunce was well prepared and had a fabulous memory for material and a less than stellar way of regurgetating the syllables back to the audience. Nevermind. The Nothing Man managed to not only shoot himself in the foot, but he cut it off and stuck it in his own mouth during the debates.

Election day happened and the Nothing Man cuddled up to his rubber room wife and watched as the states were going Red and blue in a pace that was far too close for the Nothing Man's bark. Anticipating that there might be problems in Florida (afterall, in the prior two elections, there were problems with Florida's ballots but no one seemed to care then), the Nothing Man's committee hired a Texas Telemarketing firm to start calling the Blue Hairs in the 'hot zone' where idiots would have trouble figuring out a ballot which had been both mailed to them for review and prominently displayed for them at the polling places. Once it became obvious that the problems known were in fact starting to sprout like filled burial plots in a Palm Beach Cemetary, The Nothing Man's plan went into action.

And so started the first of many battles between the cause of evil, the left, and the cause of idiocy, the Compassionate Conservative, the Moron.

Fast forward several years and the battle for the impending war with Iraq.

The party of the Nothing Man consented with the case that presented to them and granted vast powers of military deployment to the man they named a moron. These Congressman and Senators all but said "Do Me" and allowed the man they considered a moron to have their power and his too.

And then, when the battles starting looking less than easy, the party of the Nothing Man started to whine that they had been deceived by the Moron.

"How can this be?" cried one of the Senators from the party of the Nothing Man. "We gave the moron all this power and he had the nerve to lie to us!"

And so goes the story about the moron who managed to expand his empire in the Congress and reclaimed the Senate and had two tax cuts passed.

I suppose I'd cry too if I kept getting my ass kicked by a moron.

problem with repubes is, there is NOTHING good that their boy has done, so they have to continue attacking their old demons in order to give the appearance of positivity...


I'm not fooled


there's an old saying...

4. Easy
Moron Man has the corporate media and rightwing radio on his side. People are just now learning the truth and the polls will reflect that.

Also ask him to rewrite this sentence:

And so goes the story about the moron who managed to expand his empire in the Congress and reclaimed the Senate and put America 450 billion dollars in debt.

6. Don't bother. ~ The best thing for people like this is to ignore them
The whole post is incendiary and designed to get your goat. Everyone knows virtually everything in his post is lies. That is what they do. They LIE It is their MO. It isn't worth your time. Write this bum off.

7. I guess he's really proud
It sounds like your correspondent is really proud of all the dead bodies Mr. Bush has made out of live bodies. We aren't any safer for it, to be sure, but there's no disputing Lil George's kill totals.

If that's what he's proud of, you can safely ignore this buffoon. He's not worth your time.

12. Concede ...
that Bush is a moron and that our party consider(ed) him one from the word go! But point out that no one on the left side of the fence concluded that his stupidity was the only problem; to the contrary, most of us recognize(d) that he's as duplicitous and malicious as he moronic.

You can use the example of statements he made during the campaign against nation-building and imperialism with his recent attempts to appear compassionate towards the Iraqi people by insisting we're there to not only "liberate" them, but to help them "rebuild" their country's infrastructure using ours as the blueprint for success as a rebuttal to the egregious lie that Gore repeatedly changed his image. (That's the weakest, albeit widespread, and infuriating media-perpetuated attack against the rightful President of these united states.)

9. Don't Castrate Me For This
Edited on Fri Jul-18-03 06:54 PM by sparosnare
The Repugs have found a way to appeal to those in this country who are of average/below average intelligence. A moron has done the trick - he does as told. I am firmly convinced, the older I get, that most of the people in this country are sheep, if you will - unable to think for themselves. They don't rank too high up on the IQ scale. The repugs have found a way to manipulate this population with emotional 3 minute talking points. Questions aren't asked, depth is not expected.

10. Hey Ari! You're free!!! You don't have to stick your nose
way up Moron's ass anymore. You don't need to believe all that stupid propaganda spoon fed to you by Moron's Brain anymore. Go smell the flowers in the campground you will be living in soon, when all those jobs in the private sector don't materialize because grandpa can't retire as soon as he wanted to.

I wouldn't drink the water from the stream either. There is too much arsenic and other nasties from unregulated industries seeping in their from the erosion and from the temporary meadows created by the lumber industry and the paved over developments of the construction industries.

Well, Ari I could go on and on, but you go ahead and live in your little bubble and enjoy it as long as you can because when this one bursts you are going to find yourself in one big heap of trouble. Don't say we libruls never warned you.

13. My virtual response.
The form of the fairy tale, which you chose, perfectly fits the content. And the content itself perfectly fits the deficient orthography. Thank you for the entertainment.

15. I have written words for a living.
I have edited others' words for a living.
This is one of the most convoluted, blathering pieces of crap I've ever tried to decipher.
And you can tell him I said so!
