This poster is no professor, he&#039;s a Petri dish puke cloned to be a mindless and a vacuous idiot. They seem to have perfected the model to the point that it is self sufficient, and self reliant on its abilities to survive in any kind of situation.
When it needs nutreints it tunes into the Drug Crazed limpbaugh, to fat to get a natural rise, it needs inducements,tincture of Vicodin seems to promote growth and froth.
Or they can tune into the Bull OlieLY show for training on rants and obfusicating Bull S ! ht
For the ones that are inclined towards toe tapping there&#039;s the Larry Craig Institute of Perpetual Airport Stall Haunting, Its something they are particularly good at. see the funny paper&#039;s for clairification.
Or they&#039;ll tune into the Hannity Happy loon hour to refresh their abilities to flap their lips, wiggle their large floppy ears and make weird noises, like an  ass does when its farting from to much consumption, hmmmm perhaps I have hit on something here, the petri dish ass full of nutrients proceeds to omit gaseous comments all over these forums.

Professor of what? Ignorance!</description>

		<description>Below this post is an example of why this country is in dire straights, their voting for one of the most incompetent President the country has ever had to suffer through, it&#039;s not enough that he has to post his ignorance, its incredible that he practices it every time he post&#039;s &quot;his ignorance&quot;.
There really is no salutation to eradicate him from here so he can practice his ignorance while all the rest of you just talk around him.

		<description>Couldn&#039;t take time to read every post, packing to go 
live in a national forest (not kidding) and I suggest
everyone come up with a way to live this mess out for 
the next year or two.  I honestly am going to camp in
a national forest for two weeks - time limit - and 
then another one close by for 2 more until next month
when I can start a business on the wireless netbook I
am about to purchase.  Or Blackberry or something.  
Feel free to email me at cherokeerose@yahoo.com with
suggestions on how to be online with no telephone line.

I&#039;m buying a small generator for electricity.  In case 
I need it.

For the record, I have contacted both my senators, 
Harry Reid and the other one and asked them to vote
for the stimulus bill.  Now we&#039;ll see.

Meanwhile, back at the national forest...the ones I&#039;m
going to are in southwest NM and there is cheap land 
for sale in east AZ, around Show Low.  Back to the
land, comrades.  And keep it simple. All of it.  

I have yet to hear those &quot;banned by the Repukes&quot; words
&quot;class war&quot; but that is what it looks like to me.  Re-
publicans, as far as I can see, care nothing for anyone
not white, rich and male.  Let&#039;s us progressives stick
together, shall we?  BRING ON 2010!</description>

According to Senate rules, the only way a filibuster in progress can be broken is if a super-majority of three-fifths of the Senate (60 Senators when all 100 seats are filled) vote to file cloture on the bill in question and bring it to the floor for debate. (Cloture is a parliamentary term, meaning to end debate by calling for a vote.)

I think the filibuster will not happen because of liberal RINOS like Snowe and Collins from Maine will vote N and therefore no filibuster

BUt with 99% of the Senate Rs and all of the House Rs voting NO,…….you liberal socialists alinskyites OWN THIS PACKAGE that will create about 100K new jobs and give money to ACORN AND ABORTIONISTS 

HERE IS YOUR NEW COUTNRY,THE NEW UNITED SOVIET STATES OF AMERICA&gt;

THANKS FOR DESTROYING MY COUNTRY

suzysmom,

You are pathetically ignorant.  You truly are.  And you prove this by bringing up that tired, debunked, lie put forth by the GOP that tis stimulus package includes money specifically for ACORN.  I bet you don&#039;t even know what ACORN stands for, let alone what they do.  You&#039;re just parroting talking points, just like the good little demented gooper you are.

You&#039;re desperate.  You know your party&#039;s ideas are destructive, but you want to do them anyway, so you lash out and lie about what the Dems are doing.

If you don&#039;t like what we have to say, fine, but you should appreciate that if I went to a site like RedState or FreeRepublic (home of insane conservatives like you) and I posted the kinds of things there that you posted about me and my wife, I would have been banned by the second comment, if not he first.  But you are free to say shit like that here and are more likely to get away with it.  But demented conservative minds like yours can&#039;t understand that important distinction.  

I have called you offensive and ignorant, and I will continue to do so as long as TP (foolishly) allows you to post your hate-filled comments here.  You&#039;re worried about the destruction of our country?  Then why do you support the Republican Party, which could not possibly care less about you. (You have already admitted that you are not among the super rich.)  In fact, you should be their enemy, if you really are a college professor, as you claim.</description>

Better yet, when the Democrats surpass their 60 seat majority, introduce legislation to outlaw the republican party once and for all. &lt;/em&gt;

That&#039;s not Democracy.  That&#039;s really, really un-American.

Besides, they&#039;d just come back under a different party name, or infiltrate the Democratic party, or whatever.  &quot;You can&#039;t fix stupid&quot; applies to legislation as well.

.

&lt;em&gt;suzysmom Says: 

I think the filibuster will not happen because of liberal RINOS like Snowe and Collins from Maine will vote N and therefore no filibuster&lt;/em&gt;

I agree.  Even if McConnell was lying and intended secretly to push for a filibuster, he probably couldn&#039;t get it in the Senate.

.

&lt;em&gt;suzysmom Says: 

...that will create about 100K new jobs and give money to ACORN AND ABORTIONISTS &lt;/em&gt;

That&#039;s all made-up talk.  You so crazy.</description>

		<description>Protest and boycott the corporate entities that these republican senators represent. They certainly have no concerns for their constituencies or the nation as a whole.
Better yet, when the Democrats surpass their 60 seat majority, introduce legislation to outlaw the republican party once and for all. It&#039;s 40 years past time for that action. The Democrats have a duty and an obligation to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign AND domestic.
So keep your friends close and your enemies six feet beneath you.</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;Judd won’t take the Commerce post. No way. But Obama will still get bipartisanship points for offering it.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I’m not so sure about that. It will all depend on whether or not he wants to be unemployed in 2010. I understand that he is not expected to win re-election...&lt;/em&gt;

Maybe.  But I wouldn&#039;t put it past the R&#039;s to have some well-heeled friends offer him a cushy corporate, legal or lobbying job for 2010.  No quid-pro-quo, just let him know that his employment application would be welcome.

&lt;em&gt;sectionop92 Says: 

Not if you scribble “Surge” all over it.&lt;/em&gt;

Rename it the &quot;defense of patriotism, women, babies and apple pie act&quot; and they&#039;ll be all over it.  Eedjits every one.

.

&lt;em&gt;sectionop92 Says: 

In that case, the minorities who work and handle money on Wall St. will be at fault for it. &lt;/em&gt;

They&#039;re already blaming uppity minorities who had the gall to think they got to own a house.  The economy would have been just fine if they would know their place.

Not.  He hasn&#039;t said anything about anything since he got let off the hook.  That was problably the deal.</description>

		<description>A little sample from the Rude Pundit regarding President Obama and the republicans: 

&quot;Obama better know a simple fact: they phucking hate him. Right now, Obama represents the fact that everything they believed was a complete failure. For making that clear to the American people, they phucking despise him. They hate his majority, they hate his coattails, they hate that all over the country people are supporting his ideas. Republicans have nothing right now, which means they have nothing to lose by trying to drag Obama into their pit of sh*t. They&#039;ll smile and say it was a good conversation, but they&#039;re waiting in the back halls of the Capitol to phuckin&#039; shiv Obama and laugh while he bleeds. And try to force Americans back into their crooked arms.

		<description>Surprised the Republicans will filibuster - seems to me like the better strategy would be to not filibuster, let the bill pass and then have the Democrats own the whole thing.  Then, if it succeeds, they lose - but they wouldn&#039;t have gained anything from the passage.  But if it fails, then the Dems own it.

This filibuster will be the equivalent of shutting down the government - leaves them open for a huge backlash.</description>
