On second thought, no, they should cheer him on because as their representative, he is making them all look like the jackasses they are.

Actually, the Arco station by my house has dropped their prices, about a dime a gallon in the past week. Don’t you hate when facts intrude? Your lame propaganda embarrasses you.

Never start a sentence with a conjunction.

Hi! Thanks.

Good post from you, too (I agree with McWars).

:)

Let’s cover some basics:

Every single one of you that harps, as you continually do, on a campaign slogan as if it should be the solid foundation of governing policy and the ultimate benchmark of political success is a complete and utter retarded and brainwashed fool of epic proportions and of unlimited credulity when offered some simple (and simple minded) means to mindlessly launch partisan attacks with no regard for reality. A campaign slogan is NOT actionable policy. How’s that “comapssionate conservativism” workin’ out for ya? Or “it’s morning again in America — very prescient policy there. Or should we consider “A kinder, gentler nation”? “A chicken in every pot”? You expose not only your ignorance and your ability to be led around without question when you equate a campaign slogan with policy, you also expose your own unwillingness to actually review the conditions and policies that actually do exist.

Next, to expect ANY president to make ANY major changes within the first YEAR (much less the first 5 months) is a mistake that only the truly naiive would make. And that is not considering the political atmosphere that does exist where the minority party has openly and repeatedly declared that it will do everything in its power to obsruct the president on every and any issue he brings forward. That is not being bi-partisan. That is interfering with the governing of the country. To the trolls crying and whining, perhaps you would like to share the great and noteable accomplishments of any republican presidents within their first 5 months of office? Every one complaining about the pace of the president’s actions were complaining about him being president on November 4, 2008. I guaruntee it, and I don’t need any “proof” — we all know it is true.

Not only are the republican politicians being willfully obstructive and disruptive (several wanting to deny stimulus money, and then wanting to spend that money on things other than what it was intended for — thus interfering with the policy: it can’t work if the alloted money is not sent to the appropriate places), you also have all of the major corporate world in bed with the republicans, and thus they are also seeking the failure of any presidential policy (which, for the record, is defined as treason). How can a corporation do that? By putting more people out of work. By not hiring new workers, running as streamlined as possible, which has the added benefit of adding to profits, assuming tha plan does not backfire.

Conspiracy theory? Well, first off, the concept of “conspiracy” is not in and of itself something belonging to the lunatic fringe: people have, and always have, engaged in conspiracies of many kinds. It is an actual, really-real world, legal term. You can be tried on conspiracy charges. Conspiracies do exist, and to think otherwise is to be one of the uneducated and unintelligent follower types who enable conspirators to, well, conspire. So, labelling something as a “conspiracy theory” is NOT to automatically discredit it. And one’s estimation of something being a “conspiracy theory” is not enough to make it even that. In other words YOUR label is not sufficient.

And evidence? Lots of trolls cry and whine to see evidence. Funny, not much forthcoming FROM the trolls (it is an oft-used distraction to deflect from the fact that they themselves have no proof — or, even more telling, that their “proof” is from a single and highly partisan source). One troll here is offering a lot of numbers and such, and in turn demanding “proof” from the other posters here, but said troll is not offering links to this “proof” of his own, which means that the source cannot be verified. In short, if you are going to demand proof from others, then you should be providing the same for everyone else — and proof does require links so that sources can be identified (many “sources” automatically discredit the supposed “proof”). Mind you, I am staunchly a supporter of discussion without links, but then I do not demand proof from others either, unless they make outrageous claims that can only be substantiated through proof.

Finally, for this post, it is extremely disgusting how completely unAmerican the right has become. Every post that tries to ‘dig’ with comments about campaign slogans, every post noting the things that have not come around back to ‘normal’ in 5 months, they are all filled with glee, often undisguised exuberant glee, that America is suffering. You people would rather see America collapse and fail completely as a nation that to see a “non-republican” president accomplish anything at all. That you all giggle, audibly, over the unemployment rate (and other such things), shows how self-centered, self-serving, self-righteous, egotistical, cold-hearted, morally corrupt, greedy, and competely partisan you all are in your crusade to hate America for as long as America is not ruled completely by republicans only. You fail at being Americans. You fail at being humans.

I don’t think it’s worth the risk, Doc.

I mean, it’s not like the effort will ever result in Tracist ever learning anything or experiencing growth of any kind.

“War is messy”
Really?
“during Saddam’s regime’s reign which would have continued under his sons.”
How so?
“hold out hope that Obama is going to do anything but make things worse.”
Such as?
