		<description>Of course, what is good for the goose is good for the gander. He doesn’t realize that we aren’t outraged that the Republicans dared to dig up dirt on the Democrats. We’re outraged that they got these principles to block Ethics Reform, because they didn’t want to be exposed. Sure, let’s let &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.batterylaptoppower.com/asus/a42-m6.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;asus a42-m6 battery&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.batterylaptoppower.com/asus/silver-m6n.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;asus silver m6n battery&lt;/a&gt; the Dems who have their hands in the cookie jar get burned too. I betcha that there’ll be three Republicans for every Democrat net in this trap.

		<description>Well, I do have to say, you have a point.

The Democrats should start to emulate the tactics of the Repubâ€™s and draw up a list of right-whiners to target!

Comment by Democrat Soldier â€” February 28, 2008 @ 3:46 pm

For the list to be useful list in Republitard-ville, it would have to be a list of those Goopers WISHING to support this ethics bill. This is their currency, if it can help government govern itself, they are against it, so therefore, they would rally to beat anyone of themselves looking to make this bill a reality. 
Thinking Republitard is ward hork. ;-)</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Absolutely! If theyâ€™re corrupt, GOOPer or Dem, they GOTTA GO!

Comment by The Republic of Stupidity â€” February 28, 2008 @ 3:42 pm&lt;/em&gt;

Jeez, I don&#039;t remember clicking that Post button.  You took the thoughts right out of my mind!  

See, that&#039;s something goopers don&#039;t get...they think liberals just want corrupt goopers gone, when we want ALL corrupt officials gone.  But they can&#039;t think outside of their own world views.

What a fantastic insight into the sick fu(k mind of a gooper.</description>

		<description>Napier tries to smirk his answer out, but fails miserably.   Of course, what is good for the goose is good for the gander.  He doesn&#039;t realize that we aren&#039;t outraged that the Republicans dared to dig up dirt on the Democrats.   We&#039;re outraged that they got these principles to &lt;strong&gt;block Ethics Reform&lt;/strong&gt;, because they didn&#039;t want to be exposed.

I betcha that there&#039;ll be &lt;strong&gt;three Republicans&lt;/strong&gt; for every Democrat net in this trap.

Hehe.

So, does Napier have anything to say about the block of Ethics Reform by the &#039;lilly white Republicans&#039;?   No?   I didn&#039;t think so.  Flagged for off topic troll-baiting.</description>

Wow, another troll who is correct.  Nancy Pelosi removed Jefferson from his committee assignments when he came under investigation.  Funny thing, I don&#039;t remember her Republiscum counterpart doing the same with Renzi.</description>
