> [@Updike](#): > > “Just shy” only works in horseshoes and handgrenades. How do you figure? Seriously. If just under half of the people that bothered to vote feel one way, while they may not have gotten their way in the short term, are you willing to dismiss that as irrelevant? Isn’t that rather arrogant? Wouldn’t a more productive way to look at this be to think that there may be some value in what they have to say? Wouldn’t that be the path of, say, a uniter and not a divider? ---

> [@Weirddave](#): > > The operative word being “shy”. How fucking stupid do you have to be not to figure that out? “We’re #2!” Great slogan, why don’t you shout it out some more? :rolleyes: My point is really a simple one. I, and most Liberals I would suspect, do get that we lost. Hell, the loyal opposition has let no opportunity to grind that in our face pass. Really, all that I am saying is that this wasn’t a landslide and that if we all have a sincere desire to form a more perfect union, well I think that the time may be coming that it would be a good idea for you folks to listen to what we have to say and to give it honest and open minded consideration. Why is that so difficult? ---

Telling reporters that you’re going to have a competency hearing for your famous-journalist dad because he said something you disagree with politically is just about as low as somebody can go. Holy shit, that’s fucking low. So much for the “family values crowd.” I guess “Honor thy mother and thy father” doesn’t count if your father disagrees with Bush. What a tool. ---

Sheesh. I don’t watch television. (And I’m not saying that in a holier-than-thou manner. I just have no interest. I spend entirely too much time in front of this monitor, however.) I have no idea what “Family Guy” is. Family Guy is more important to me than anything the current President of the United States has to say. And I am so deeply sorry that that mush mouthed idiot with delisions of intelligence has caused me to feel that way about an office I used to have a great amount of respect for. The only thing I want to hear that asshole say is “We’re pulling our troops out of Iraq.” Anything else is more of his self-serving bullshit and I have had all I can stand of it. ---

> [@Binarydrone](#): > > OK. While you enjoy your party over country, keep me posted on just where that is getting us. The party over country argument is wearing thin. Did you make the same argument when Jane Fonda was sitting on Vietnamese cannons? Was she supporting her country, or her party? ---

> [@Updike](#): > > The party over country argument is wearing thin. Did you make the same argument when Jane Fonda was sitting on Vietnamese cannons? Was she supporting her country, or her party? Because…Fonda was a…policy-maker? Congressperson? Government official? Fonda wasn’t even representing the Democrats. She was representing her own viewpoints. Besides which, you’re going to be hard-pressed to find ANYONE who thinks that allowing her photo to be taken sitting on that AA gun was a good idea. Even SHE admits that it was a stupid thing to do. Your post is a complete non-sequitur. Not that we’re not used to that by now. ---

> [@TheLoadedDog](#): > > Can we just have _one_ Bush-bashing thread, ya reckon? Not trying to shut you guys down - hey, make it a sticky. Put it in neon if you like. But there’s only so much you can do with “Bush is an idiot” and “Bush is wrong about Iraq”. It amazes me how this can continue to generate new threads at the same high rate after all this time. My guess is that the lefties on this board never played competitive sports. When you’re on a sports team, you learn to lose, dislike it, but move on with your life. These whiners are gonna keep going until at least the 2008 elections. On behalf of the American people, I apologize. > [@Binarydrone](#): > > Wouldn’t a more productive way to look at this be to think that there may be some value in what they have to say? Wouldn’t that be the path of, say, a uniter and not a divider? Yes, if they have something valuable to say, which _some_ of them do. It’s hard to find value in what’s probably the 10,000th thread with a title similar to “Eat my shit George W. Bush”. Fuckin’ sore losers won’t let it go and develop some positive messages. Keep wasting time and energy on the “Eat my shit GWB” stuff and the pubbies will win again in '08. ---
