[QUOTE=if6was9] I have no problem at all with **BG** posts. He scours the web looking for the latest atrocities. _And these are atrocities!_ They’re no blow jobs and “I did not have sex with that woman.” These involve thousands of American lives, and 100’s of thousands of Iraqi lives, and the administration wiping their ass with the constitution. I haven’t seen the GD snipes, but if **John Mace** has a problem with **BG** ’s posts, maybe John should like _change_ the Pub party. Or offer a factual rebuttal. Or open his fucking eyes. Instead of spouting that days talking points. You know, put up or shut up. This crap isn’t working and the Dems and the vast majority of the people see that. [/QUOTE] With all due respect, you’re an idiot. ---

[QUOTE=John Mace] With all due respect, you’re an idiot. [/QUOTE] I don’t know you from Adam. Except that you’re a mod. Have never noticed any of you posts. But I’ve noticed Brian’s. And inevitably, his posts result in bringing out all the Pub apologists, harping on some miniscule debate point, instead of the original issue. Have you done anything to stop this? Or do you just sit back and let the mouths speak for you? Nice insightful post, btw. :dubious: ---

[QUOTE=Jackmannii] Wouldn’t that be a “snippier snipe”? And presumably such a retort would be doled out by a snipy snip, though I have no firm opinion on the subject at this time. [/QUOTE] please repost when you have a firm opinion. 😉 ---

[QUOTE=John Mace] Nope. [/QUOTE] My bad there. Thought you were a mod. > [@](#): > > Congress needs to end the war. They need to revoke the AUMF, and get us out of there. Unless they don that, they pretty much have to give Bush (the Commander in Chief) what he needs. If they don’t, it’s the men and women fighting over there who will suffer. So you reason that Congress is at fault. Bush started it, continued it, ad nauseum, but it is Congress’ fault for not stopping it. Elsewise they should suck dick and give Bush what he wants. That’s a position… ---

The Dem congress that has been in less than a year is at fault. Not the Pub congress that enabled this crap for 6 years. ---

He wasn’t playing the blame game, just stating a fact. If the congress is too chicken shit to actually take away George’s war powers, cutting the funding is fucking over the troops. And just to re-iterate: I did not just say Republicans good, Dems bad. Read it again if you don’t believe me. ---

[QUOTE=elucidator] Jimson [/QUOTE] Gracias. But old-timer that I am, does that have anything to do with _Loco-weed_? Tried some in Boca years ago, and I’d rather not repeat the experience, if that’s all right by you. Scariest pot ever. ---

Someone thinks JM is pussyfooting around in GD and should just let loose and Pit him. I like **BG**. Agree with him 90% of the time. Granted, I’m stretching, looking at this thread as a free invitation for JM to wail on BG. So I quickly sided with BG. I don’t know JM, so I take the OP’s word that he has a problem with BG. You have a problem with BG, then you have a problem with me. Simple as that. And all I get in response is “lay off the bong, dude.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/john-mace-just-pit-him-already/417392.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/john-mace-just-pit-him-already/417392.md?page=3)
