"Gracious" "Work together"
"olive branch"


Okay...enough.

Is this political maneuvering, with a war criminal, going to end anytime soon?

God damn it!

1. Meanwhile........Bush will try to push through as much crap as possible.
He's gonna demand his spying bill be passed and god knows what else before all his republican buddies go home. He's a liar; means not what he says.

5. WRITE your Congress NOW!
I intend to send emails to mine demanding they listen to the people and provide a thorough investigatory process against the Repukes.

8. I agree...
a bazillion percent!

BIPARTISANSHIP

SHOULD

BE

OFF

THE

TABLE.


Remember how much goodwill and "bipartisanship" they showed us. They picked up an olive branch and beat us bloody with it. NO BIPARTISANSHIP! NONE!

And, I say that as someone who has "turned the cheek" many, many times.

9. That should be: "Gracious! Work together?"
"Where'd I put that olive branch? Someone needs a good switching."

10. See this from Maher yet????
Republicans = Scientologists

One of the tenets of Scientology is that anyone who criticizes the religion is fair game for any and all kinds of retribution. You can file lawsuits against them, you can harass them, you can spread lies about them, and it's OK because the critic is fundamentally evil.

This is the same reason Republicans have no problem running push polls, or handing out leaflets with false accusations, or calling Dems and telling them that their polling place has been changed... all this dishonest, sleazy stuff is OK because it's in the service of a greater good..... And when the Democrats do win, the impetus isn't to work with them, it's to destroy them - that was how Bill Clinton was received.

>snip

For a good chunk of the GOP base, the Democrats are literally in league with the Devil, so any means of keeping them out of power is legitimate.

In fact, this attitude is only a matter of degrees away from the belief radical Muslims have that any wrong perpetrated against the "infidels" is justified.

I repeat: "And when the Democrats do win, the impetus isn't to work with them, it's to destroy them - that was how Bill Clinton was received."

I say, here and now, turnabout is fair play.

11. The Dems were elected for one reason...
...to throw these sons-of-bitches in prison.
