The Party of Morals Learns a Moral (4 comments )


Here's the response that I like:


You guys won. We lost! Congradulations!(sic)

Yuk it up for the next 3-4 months! Poke Republicans in the eye. Threaten them with dire warnings of "get even". Ridicule their honesty and integrity. Denounce their policies and their parentage.

When this Spring arrives, however, let's move beyond teh playground, and get down to governing. The American populace did not vote you into office to watch a two-year end-zone dance. They expect you to govern! They expect you to make changes that improve America. You rand (sic) on issues like: Iraq, the environment, energy policy, corruption, immigration reform, tax reform, medicare reform, social security reform, improvement in homeland security (100% train and shipping inspections), ending "wiretapping" and "financial tracking" of terrorists, capturing Bin Laden, and several other important policies! That is a big agenda. You need to begin soon!

I gotta admit I just love the way this guy put this line: "The American populace did not vote you into office to watch a two-year end-zone dance.They expect you to govern! They expect you to make changes that improve America."

Trust me busted, I feel the same way. There's a LOT of work to be done (a hell of a lot of damage to undo) and that means there can't be more than 15 minutes allocated for dancing in the end-zone.

P.S. But in the meantime, watch me do my moonwalk! Here I go with the "robot". Now a backflip! w00t! Here's me "stirring the pot" womp womp. Now the "John Travolta". How about a little "ride the pony"? (Better make that "ride the elephant"!) Yeah baby! I'm a little rusty (haven't been in the end-zone in a long time) but I still REMEMBER HOW TO DAN-AAAANCE!

1. Howzabout a waltz?

Followed by a rousing swing routine, or a flirty cha-cha-cha? I'll try not to step on your toes...

[Turn CO Blue]

3. Yes, Waltz across the whole end-zone...but if

we're couples dancing, I like the swing or the triple step.

[bluerum]

2. Yeah - still lecturing and trying to look relevant. See the finger nail

marks in the stone as they slide hopelessly into oblivion.

[MGD]

10. Wait until the dust settles before you make assumptions about sliding hopelessly into oblivion

There are only two political parties in America and we have caught our share of waves in the past (as have they) and I would imagine we'll catch one again some day...as will they. The only question is how long can we stave off that wave?

[bluerum]

11. The repub majority has been broken. As far as I am concerned,

that should mean that they are marginalized in congress and the senate for the next two years. Two years is oblivion in politics.

[MGD]

15. They're down but they're hardly out. Political parties don't die easily in America.

[bluerum]

19. They are not dead. But what they did to the dems for the past six years,

blocking them out of any meaningful legislative discussions and actions, is now their fate. This is political oblivion. There but not there.

The squatter in chief will have a harder time ramming through his insane appointments, and if there is any justice in the world there will be far greater oversight and control over his reckless international policy. His insane policies will be forced into oblivion.

No one said anything about the republikaner party literally dieing. They are, in an allegorical sense, in oblivion.

[Bitwit1234]

4. But but But

Didn't the American people expect the republicans to run this country FOR EVERYONE AND NOT THE RICH...can anybody explain to this guy that his party didn't exactly practice what they are now preaching.

They will see a more cooperative and honest and working for ALL AMERICANS GOVERNMENT. Something republicans did not and do not know how to do.

[Parche]

5. govern

Yes we have to start soon, because as Democrats we can get things done.
unlike you constipated conservative republicans who did absolutely nothing
while in power...............

[Turn CO Blue]

6. make that gangrenous constipated conservative republicans

[AZBlue]

7. Yeah, he's right.

We can take the time now to celebrate, but if we want to keep this momentum going, we need to get back to work quickly. Otherwise, the pendulum will swing even further right next time.

[Milo_Bloom]

8. Here's a victory song!

[Turn CO Blue]

9. My son sang "Shipoopi" in his high school's Music Man!

[alcibiades_mystery]

12. Walking the Dog, Walking the Dog. Shopping Cart. Shopping Cart.

Who's got the....vroom vroom...Vaaaaaacccccuuuuuummmmmm, biiiitch? Yo Daddy got it, that's who! Yo Daddy got the vroom vroom, baby!

:rofl:

[Iris]

13. so what kind of dance were the Republicans doing the past few years?

We just put an end to one of the biggest do-nothing congresses in history.

And did the Democrats really run on all those issues? I don't remember hearing anything about social security reform.

[GOPFighter]

14. I'm with busted

Except I don't think we have the luxery of celebrating for 3-4 months. Our kids are dying in Iraq because there is no coherent plan for securing the country or withdrawing. We must devise a workable plan NOW and have it ready to go the day we take over.

[MGD]

16. The Republicans have limited America's options to two choices

1.) fight
2.) withdraw
We must listen intently to the findings of the Iraq Study Group and make bi-partisan choices based on what is learned. This problem can not and will not be solved without bi-partisan cooperation. I will say, for the record, that this Democrat is not automatically on board with with drawl from this fight and; furthermore, I am not ready to create another Khmer Rouge in Iraq without a very good reason. What's more, I for one do not want to leave Iraq such that Iran becomes the dominant power in the region. Furthermore, I think we all need to agree that oil is a major factor in this war and that we need to make ourselves energy independent and soon (big oil be damned). Energy policy reform needs to be a major priority for this party or our withdrawl from volatile middle-eastern affairs will be impossible.

[bluerum]

20. Right. So the mid eastern regional players need help?

In particular they need our help? Like military help? Economic help?

Iran is arguably already a dominant power in the area. What is wrong with letting them determine their national policies and be the dominant power in the area? Let them have the whole fucking mess. If Iraq is a financial albatross on our neck, surely it would much more so on theirs. Why is it our business what they do with their country?

And what gives us the right to project military force into their affairs? Is it because we are too lazy and arrogant to deal with them diplomatically? Or because we just don't like the way they do things.

[GOPFighter]

21. "Energy policy reform needs to be a major priority..."

Ab-so-lutely! I'm so happy the Democrats finally have a voice in solving our country's many problems again!!

[AJ9000]

17. His post has an obvious mistake:

"You rand (sic) on issues like: Iraq, the environment, energy policy, corruption, immigration reform, tax reform, medicare reform, social security reform, improvement in homeland security (100% train and shipping inspections), ending "wiretapping" and "financial tracking" of terrorists..."

Non-sense!

We opposed unconstitutional WARRENTLESS wiretapping. We're all for tracking terrorists, but doing so without handing the government unlimited powers.

[truthisfreedom]

24. hear, hear. we need oversight, AND protection of the country.

warrantless needs to be replaced by warranted.

[argyl]

18. You want serious,busted? Wait until our new majorities are sworn

in. For now, I'm savoring a moment I feared would never come.

[PBass]

23. We all DESERVE to take a victory lap, and do a little end-zone dance.

We don't control anything yet.

But a little celebration is WELL-DESERVED.

When the time comes, we will ALL be watching the Dems in Congress like hawks!!!! We're not putting up with any crap, just because somebody has a (D) after their name!
