Politicians are politicians - no matter what type of cap they wear. Democrats will just fuck up things in other ways.

We just need to get the fuck out of the clusterfuck that is iraq.

Yeah, but at least they're not the party that killed habeas corpus and tried to take away privacy. Anything is better than that party.

Post by: Van Cruncheon on November 08, 2006, 01:52:33 PM: Yes, because they aren't the fuckheads behind the two Patriot Acts and all the other "security" bullshit that's raped our personal freedoms. The War on Terror and the War on Drugs are fuckin' excuses to filch taxpayer money and abuse the Constitution. Fuck ANY party that so blatantly endorses either "War". And ANYONE that votes for torture needs to be forcibly exited from the halls of power and tossed into the clink to rot.

Post by: The Fake Shemp on November 08, 2006, 01:52:56 PM: Even if the Democrats did not get the majority, the GOP was going to back off the Bush support. They want a Republican President in office when he leaves, and supporting Bush is not going to do that.

Democrats are just a better smelling fart. I just want them to undo all the patriot act shit that could make my life Escape from LA

Post by: Van Cruncheon on November 08, 2006, 01:55:29 PM: Also, NO party has been in bed with K-Street and the elite lobbies as bad as the FORMER (lol) Republican Congress was. Not even the Reagan-era Democrats were as completely and utterly fuckall money-grubbing crooked as the House under our favorite former Texas Speaker DeLay. This is the price of those halcyon Abramoff days, fagurts!

Executing what? The GOP has noticeably backed away from Bush. The only people that really wanted his seal of approval were Republicans in the HEARTLAND, where people fear the homo AIDS and black people. Any sane Republican practically shrugged him off.

The truth is, the party manipulated and rallied behind an emotional event and strong political motivations (war! terrorism! 9/11!) to exploit voters and keep power.

I really think given a similar scenario, Democrats would probably do the same.

I don't trust politicians.

Title: Re: Do You Approve Of Our New Democrat Overlords?
Post by: The Fake Shemp on November 08, 2006, 02:04:35 PM: Yeah, Bush's administration has been a monumental failure and the Republicans are reaping the rewards of exploiting emotions and events instead of working on long-term policy.

The biggest failure, in my opinion, is the return of Reagan/Bush Sr. era foriegn policy which was incredibly short sighted and created to combat Communism. In the end, their style of play created all the problems that we're dealing with today and instead of reforming how we do business with the world, Dubya has put us in a quagmire that I have no doubt we'll be dealing with two Presidents from now.

Then I got a letter from the government, the other day. It said I couldn't get married because of homosexual tampering. Wow.

To make matters worse, I talked to three different women today who were forced to have two abortions at the same time while being temporally violated by Dixie Chicks music, which has officially replaced the national anthem.

Instead of eating chocolate candy and other assorted crap, I'll be eating dried mangos and peanuts and veggie chips.

Post by: Cheebs on November 08, 2006, 02:46:49 PM: ToxicAdam said something at GAF that needs repeating:
Quote
he only people who stand a chance in 2008 on the National stage (McCain, Guiliani) will get eaten up in the primaries by the same dumbasses who voted for Bush in 2000. They will rally behind one person (hard to see who that is now, maybe Frist) and then it's game over. Moderates don't have the ability to rally around one person like they do.

You need to start accepting one fact. Republicans have LOST the Reagan Democrats next cycle and have lost Ohio. You can't win a Presidential election without Ohio anymore

The Republicans are DEAD going into the election in 08. The primary season starts in mere MONTHS in reality, it took 12 years and the implosion of the GOP for the Democrats to reclaim the majority of the country. The primary season is coming to fast for the GOP to re-discover themselves in the next election.

The Republican party is dead for at one more election cycle.

Alaska was bought so republicans could go drill oil. It is more or less owned by the party.

Post by: APF on November 08, 2006, 02:55:24 PM: Considering the fact that Republicans haven't deserved a shot for ~three years IMO, I'm willing to see this as a definite positive. Rumsfeld leaving can hopefully signal an actual shift in Iraq policy that doesn't reduce down to "same shit, different words." My hope is that the next few years won't be dominated by non-stop hearings and obstructionism/refusal to work with the opposition.
Title: Re: Do You Approve Of Our New Democrat Overlords?
Post by: Phoenix Dark on November 08, 2006, 02:56:09 PM: No, Alaska was bought so Democrats could move closer to Soviet Russia while still benefitting from the American freedoms they so viciously hate

Post by: VALIS on November 08, 2006, 06:08:10 PM: Do I approve? I just heard Harry Reid on one of the cable news networks talking about what he/they want to do, among which was:

- Independent energy sources
- Health care reform
- Competitive pharmaceutical pricing
- Promote stem cell research

I wanted to tear my clothes off right there, slather myself with butter and hump the TV. Granted, I doubt they end up making significant strides in any of those arenas because it will likely be a gridlocked environment, but still, what an orgasmic change of events from the ass goblins who previously made up Congress who's big goals were to prevent nipple slips on TV and make sure every Ay-rab has a passport.
