2nd Term Part 4: Donkeys, Elephants, and Porcupines

Re: 2nd Term Part 4: Donkeys, Elephants, and Porcupines

For the 37th time, the House tried to repeal Obama Care. The House of Representatives has now spent more than 15% of its time since it became law trying to repeal it. Good use of time.

You'd think after this many times that there might be something to it. Oh but no, it's absolutely perfect just the way it is.

Another major IRS official resigns.

Oh, but I forgot, Scooby said this is all nothing, so I guess this is just another crazy coincidence.

They're not going to say where the cover-up is because there is no cover-up. They will get around this by saying "You aren't worth the time" or "You're just a troll" or some other hogwash...then they will carry on as though there is a cover-up just so they can feel good. I say let them. They can say whatever they want to, it won't change the political reality in Washington or the rest of the country. If it makes them feel better, let them ramble on with their foolishness. It's a shame so many of them lack the same "live and let live" philosophy when it comes to things like <s>interracial</s> gay marriage.

We have a winner for Non Sequitor of the month. Looks like a strong contender for the big annual prize, too.

nice that you can finally refer to yourself with an accurate self-assessment!

For people who have no partisan stake in the situation one way or the other, it is obvious that the story about a spontaneous protest in response to a youtube video was a deliberate deception. The people closest to the situation immediately described it as an organized terrorist attack. Why was Susan Rice saying anything different than that a week later?

we await for your half-brained answer to that question, which amidst all your bluster has never been adequately answered. Why the deliberate deception spuriously referring to a youtube video six weeks before the election, if on the evening of the attack itself it was described accurately?


I do agree that the Republicans' attempt at high dudgeon is a bit hard to swallow. Both sides look bad here; the Republicans for trivializing something to score points when it is really a lot more serious, and the Democrats for knowingly putting forth information that they knew was untrue.

And why did El Supremo falsely claim he characterized the event as a terror attack in the Rose Garden? Even the reliably pro-Sun King WaPo gave him four Pinocchios for that whopper. And why did he make multiple TV appearances, claiming not to know whether it was a terror attack or not? And why did he, in that pathetic speech before the UN, not mention terror attack once. He did, however, find time to mention an "offensive" You Tube video 6 times. It's not possible all of this bull slinging was related to his campaign, is it?

He's one of those "Independents" who just happened to have voted for GWB in 2004 but mysteriously never supported his policies.

We don't have a parliamentary system, where there are political parties for every taste. With occasional exceptions, we make our choice for president as between nominees of our two major parties. Third party candidates can sometimes affect the outcome (Ross Perot) but aren't elected president. So many people wind up voting for the "lesser of two evils." Notwithstanding your simpering snark, it's been in all the papers.

It's far from perfect so maybe they should focus on making the law better rather than try to score political points taking useless votes.

Maybe if they tried legislating instead of grandstanding they'd find some common ground on improvements to be made.

That's not going to happen until Prince Harry gets replaced (I don't care which party just replace him). Because I think Pelosi is a total (censored), the Dems can't get control of the House until she gets replaced.

There is nothing Little Dick (as opposed to Big Dick Nixon) can do these days, no matter how trivial, to avoid criticism. But this business about breaking Marine Corps uniform regs by having a jar head hold an umbrella for him is silly. Anyone who has ever served is well familiar with the phrase: RHIP. Besides, who would complain if the jar head was holding an umbrella for a handicapped Medal of Honor winner?

If you're asking the GOP to be productive, you're going to have a long wait. The GOP has not produced anything substantial & successful as a majority party since 1995 when they teamed with Clinton to balance the budget. Soon afterwards they responded immediately to his overwhelming re-election victory by ramping up even more idiotic investigations that the public thoroughly rejected...hey wait a minute, does that sound famiilar?

Incorrect. I am a libertarian, and although I did cast a vote for Dubya in 2004, I did not blindly support his decisions.

So you voted to re-elect, quite possibly the worst President of all time. Why didn't you vote for your party candidate in 2004?

Did it ever occur to you that I might not vote straight ticket and actually vote based upon the issues?

Plus, Carter was worse. And so is Obummer.

It doesn't seem to occur to a lot of people that such a result can happen.

Carter was a bummer yes, but worse than Bush, very debatable. Obama is not even in the discussion for worst President. Have you ever voted for a Libertarian candidate?

Because you seem to have this need to press the issue about party lines, yes, I have. May I ask the reason behind your obsession over party lines, and resentment of your recent employer who actually gave you work, seeing as how you tout "USAF" in your title?

Just trying to figure out what makes you tick. Have been reading the thread, and laughing my *** off for a while. I have no idea what you mean by your last statement on my recent employer who actually gave me work. I served in the Air Force from 1987 to 1991. I have been out of the service for 22 years.

I just think it is extremely amusing to watch you crap all over Obama, yet you actually voted to re-elect Dubya. What possible issue could have made you do that. Republican agenda does not seem to be remotely close to the Libertarian principles.

Fair enough. As people get older, they become wiser to the world that is happening around them. Truth be told, when I cast my vote in 2004, which incidentally was the first vote I ever cast, I had no idea that the libertarian party even existed. In fact, it wasn't even recognized as a party in this state until fairly recently. I voted for GWB, and not against Kerry, because of his fiscal policy to encourage investment and growth, as well as his actions to go after our enemies abroad (needless to say, after 9/11, I was ****ED). Are there some things that I wasn't too crazy about? Sure, but we all have that with every politician, otherwise you're either brainless or a hired troll.

Fair enough as well. I can agree, there has never been a candidate that I agree with on all of their positions. I try to pick the lesser of the two evils, sometimes that is just impossible to do though. I have been an independent since my first time voting in 1986. I am no fan of either party and personnaly think our political system is so broken, it can never be fixed.
