Dems really ought to respond in-kind. For example – nominate Martin Sheen to be secretary of defense. Appoint a lesbian to chair the joint chiefs of staff; Ralph Nader as head of the SEC; Howard Stern the shock jock to chair the FCC. Make Michael Moore the librarian of Congress. Let’s have Gloria Steinem as the head of men’s health at the National Institutes of Health.

If they can get away with it – so can we.

“Morans.” All of them.

Any other appointee suggestions?

Why are presidents allowed to appoint anyone.

From what I understand, the position of the president was not as it is today….it was almost like the “queen” of England today, not irrelevant, but not as powerful as we have allowed him to be.

Point in case, this woman who was clearly born in the wrong century. She could have a booth between the bearded lady and the fire-eating man.

Not to mention I am always suspicious of a conservative woman who has a career, no visible husband, and is not pregnant most of the time.

Speaking of which, I am also suspicious of conservatives who speak out against contraception but have few or no children. How many children does this woman have? Oh right, she abstains… riiiight…

I don’t claim, just read the statistics. And I will denigrate anyone too lazy to read a history of this awol phoney cowboy and family before voting in 2006.

Where was your voice when Mr. awol started sending our people to Iraq ? Were you reading how convenient 9/11 was for Cheney and Bush? Have you read the PNAC papers which place Cheney agreeing
America should control Middle East oil ?

Bottom line what are you disagreeing with ? My comment was most people will be so sick of the carnage this administration has done to America they will be cautious before allowing to happen again.

Umm , How could anyone from Texas denigrate anyone else in the country voting for the Chimpster for president , when half the voters in Texas itself voted for the guy that you claim was a horrible governor for the highest office in the land ?

I tend to be a bit more lenient towards those who weren’t all that familiar with the turd than those who lived/shared the same backyard and witnessed his idiocy 1st-hand , and on a daily basis…………

Mr. Dumbass Bush was a dumbass as a governor, half of Texas couldn’t believe the rest of the country voting for this jackass. We had a surplus when he got the office and he left a deficit just now clearing up. Our environment went totally to hell, we had more pollution than California.

We couldn’t believe everyone fawning over this rotten to the core, simpleton. I still can’t believe when his crowd wants to shake his hand, when I happen to flip to a channel and he is on, I want to take a shower. I can’t even imagine being married to this slimebucket.

I will hang a sign in my yard when he reaches 5% approval !!!

I’m sorry for any of you foolish enough to “believe” or even want to in a life-long failure and imbecile ; perhaps everyone should have thought of that before ever even considering that phoney cowboy as being capable of anything ………

I know I did ; I have always disliked him , and he has given me no reason to ever regret feeling that way about him from the outset.

How could anyone believe that someone so incapable of even the most basic thing(s) , would be capable of turning that around in their 50’s and 60’s ?

If you or anyone else needs to see anything more than the video of Sir Chimpalot on the morning of 9/11 in front of those kids , and frozen in position for a FULL 7 MINUTES AFTER BEING TOLD THE COUNTRY IS UNDER ATTACK WITHOUT EVEN ASKING A QUESTION , LET ALONE MOVING , perhaps you need to re-think or renounce your voting privilege/rights ………………

Send her back to the Dark Ages – where she belongs!!!!

We allowed the Supreme Court to appoint a President, we allowed the second election to go unquestioned even tho there were so many fraudulent happenings. We allow cowards and religous leaders to smear anyone with dissenting opinions.

The balance is ; the world, no Americans are waking up and questioning what has happened and beginning to say NO MORE !
Commentators like Keith Olbermann didn’t have a large audience, he does now and his commentaries speak for many of us. It would not have happened in 2003.

Many of us did write, march and beg for a voice but many more wanted to believe in the guy they could have a beer with. The phoney cowboy.

hang in, hang around… we all need each other…

i enjoy your posts…

To Katy, et al. You don’t consider this a statement by a troll?

not his best bit, but i got it anyway…

you can tell he’s a youngun’… i’d like to check in with him in 5 years…
that will be rewarding… he’ll probably make a good prize for someone…
.

Don’t you see how insane the arguments from the Rightwingers are becoming which means they know they have nothing to argue with.
Smearing children, for Gods sake !

I feel more hopeful now than ever before that we will return to a balance. It breaks my heart that so many young in our country and Iraq had to die but hopefully mankind overall will learn something from our loss.

1st off , you’re working off a false premise/assumption……

Why is Chimpy the Wonder Monkey’s approval rating at even 24 % ??

That is entirely WAY TOO HIGH ; it remains jaw-droppingly obvious to me that there are way too many of those that willingly remaining hard-hearted and selfish , and will never change.

As for the wrong wingnuts and their lack of a coherent argument ; that has been on-going since Ronnie Retard’s garbage presidency.
Doubtful those type of fools will ever have anything remotely relevant and/or tangible to say or write ; almost 30 years of spewing propogandist bullshit and made-up myths to further an individual’s so-called legacy is so completely devoid of anything that could be considered honorable or desirable , it borders on the psychotic.

In ending

There is no such thing as “balance” when it’s a question between right and wrong ; there’s either one or the other.
And their is nothing “right” about the loss of human life having to be used as a ‘teaching tool’ for those that are imbeciles ; if they can’t understand the worthlessness of that on any and every level , they are unreachable no matter what method is used.

I am extremely happy that I’m wrong in this instance. You do snark extremely well, and I’m looking forward to more of your posts.

The reason you fooled me is that I know people who seriously believe what you posted. I apologize for my rant in response.

I’m also sad that you have been personally screwed by what’s wrong with our society. I long for the day when doing the right thing takes precedence over the “what’s in it for me?” mindset of corporate and fat cat interests. But I find that as I get older, I get more jaded and less idealistic.

I’m encouraged that the election of 2008 will be a start to renewing hope.
