I don’t think the Democrats will waste time courting their votes with compromise either. Fool me once shame on you, fool me…You can’t get fooled again! <townsend riff>
Was this the plan, then? Did Obama “rope-a-dope” them by constantly reaching out for cooperation, and they slapped him down because they figured with all that money out there pimping their view, they were bound to win? So they painted themselves into a corner and don’t even win the consolation prize?
Is he one smart SOB, or just really lucky?
For over a year now, Andrew Sullivan has had one phrase to describe it:
Oh, is Bill Clinton coming back? I’m not sure who else could fit the bill of “returning”.
Sadly, I think you’re 100% correct on this.
I’m not much for grave dancing. If Rand Rover’s thread on this subject was worthless and stupid partisan baiting, and it most assuredly was, how is this any different?
That said, thank Christ, or whoever, that this thing appears to be over. It will be good to see the army of political shills that infest this board go on bore us to tears over the next teapot tempest.
Yes. Nice OP by the way. Quite graphic.
Correct. Nor will we refuse them treatment for their pre-existing wounds.
Even if the OP had nothing to do with politics or healthcare reform, I would have still enjoyed it. Dante Alighieri would be proud.
I’m conflicted. David Frum is a lying sack of shit. Yet he’s saying something I agree with.
I… Uh…
Fuck.
If anything the rhetoric will increase. However, the Republicans now find themselves in the unique position of having to campaign on the promise to take healthcare away.

Wait - these guys are threatening violence to affect political change? Isn’t that terrorism?
Depends on which side of the fence you live. If they win, then they’re patriots like Washington et al.
Ok, enough with the splooge-encrusted fangs already!
Yay! We win! Let’s legalize pot!
[blows into pillow and looks sheepishly around…] we didnt?! Shit, hang on a second…
They’re not threatening to use a gun to shoot someone. They’re just pointing out that guns shoot people. Particularly people they don’t like.
Which is odd, considering how often I hear that “guns don’t shoot people, people do”.

Gotta love those plausible deniability dog whistles. :rolleyes:
Or, my personal favorite, “Guns don’t kill people. Bullets do.”
Great. Let’s control bullets, then.
Bullets don’t kill people, momentum transfer kills people.
Got a car battery, a stove and some clay?
If so you can make bullets.
How would you control that?
