GOPers -- Clinton says you chumps run on Ideology and Resentment!

[The_Ace_of_Swords]

Top dog, GOP omega man, Rhodes Scholar, and best reason to repeal the 22nd amendment, Bill Clinton, fundraising in Arkansas, spoke with characteristic directness about the intellectual bankruptcy of the GOP.

The Republicans campaign on ideology and resentment," he told about 400 people at the West Memphis Civic Auditorium. "They’re good and the rest of us are bad. They spent $70 million of your money to prove I was a sinner, and you could have told 'em that for free.

Ouch! You mean like a platform of Tax Cuts and Attack Saddam? I think he meant to say hatred, not resentment, but close enough. Clinton on the tax cut:

I’m making a lot of money now. You know what my sacrifice is? They want me to expend the energy necessary to open the envelope containing my tax cut. They want to give me a tax break cut with your Social Security money and your Medicare money - and it’s wrong. It’s not right.

Ha ha! I feel energized already. I can only hope they give the Big Dog his own talk show. It’d be like Paul Krugman, every day! Give Mary Matlin her own show, and it’d be the Axis of Good!

Hopefully, we’ll get a few Democrats emerging from their blanket forts and speaking out.

Somebody’s been watching too many ‘West Wing’ reruns this summer …

[Revtim]

That’s ridiculous. The GOP clearly doesn’t run resentment, they run on making money for big business, and pandering to the religious right!

Ace, you’re funny as shit. The Republican party needs more people like you.

Thanks for telling us how we feel and think. I wasn’t sure myself.

If it helps you to think of us that way, go for it.

Any time Bill Clinton would like to send in more of his money to the government to help them fund Medicare and SS, he’s welcome to. Nobody’s stopping him.

And, of course, he still sidesteps his own responsibility for lying about the Lewinsky blowjob in the first place. No lying, no impeachment.

As a conservative fat cat, why should I have resentment? I’m the one in the driver’s seat.

OTOH I plead guilty to the charge of ideology. I am driven by political ideology, such:[ul][]Not discriminating on the basis of gender, race, sex, or sexual preference.[]Freedom of speech[]Integrity in government.[]Freedom of association[/ul]Clinton has dead to rights on that charge. :wally

[capacitor]

december, the GOP has no monopoly in any of those points.

!!

We’re supposed to care what HummerMan thinks?

Did I miss a memo?

[Coldfire]

Still, this: “They spent $70 million of your money to prove I was a sinner, and you could have told 'em that for free” shows good humour.

[The_Ace_of_Swords]

Integrity in government.

[Ace falls off his chair laughing…]

December, ya yutz, Conservatives are to Integrity in Government as Firefighter are to Fire. What is you think Grover Norquist, The Heritage Foundation, and the Federalist Society were all about?! Doesn’t ring a bell? The indefinite war-power grab of the executive branch? No? Ah well, as always, thanks for the laugh :wally

JuanitaTech: I quite agree. Not for your reasons, I’m sure.

Now I am confused. I thought Republicans were bad and Democrats were stupid. So what is it?

[Scylla]

Ace:

I’ve been trying to treat you lately as if your posts were not wholly without merit.

Does it occur to you that maybe you’re projecting?

Your view seems pretty simplistic:

Conservatives/Republicans are bad guys, and Liberals/Democrats are good guys.

You seem quite willing to write people off as bad and evil if they don’t conform to your every standard, as you did me in the SUV thread.

So let me ask you seriously. I really want to know.

Do you really believe this stuff?

Is life this simple for you?

“They spent $70 million of your money to prove I was a sinner, and you could have told 'em that for free.”

“Note that I didn’t say that I could have told you that for free, because rather than tell you that (for free), I chose to lie my ass off.”

Basically, I can’t get worked up over the opinions of people for whom I have no respect.

[The_Ace_of_Swords]

Scylla, what on god’s green earth are you going on about? Were you not just posting to my Bill O’Reilly, Gay Rights Advocate thread? And I threw in Mary Matlin, another GOPer, which y’all took no notice, so don’t give me that black/white nonsense, ok?

While I believe in what Bill Clinton said, I didn’t see Scylla is a bad man because anywhere in the the quote or the OP – must you take everything personally? This thread is clearly for fun, have some, why not.

“They’re good and the rest of us are bad. They spent $70 million of your money to prove I was a sinner, and you could have told 'em that for free.”

It took him eight years to figure this out?
