Shodan, that was pretty damn funny.
I don’t see how. You voted for Bush, and thus you voted for his homophobic agenda.
Yeah, I hope he keeps doing what he’s been doing, too.
Well, honestly, I’d prefer if he’d act more responsibly conservative at home. For one, our domestic spending needs drastic curtailing.
“Unacceptable”…? Geez, what rate would make you happy? Right now it’s at the same rate as it was in '96 and that rate was cited as one reason for Clinton’s re-election. It’s acceptable when a Dem’s in the driver’s seat, but not a 'Pub?
Also sorry to see that Puffy’s gonna have to put out a hit on all those 18-24 year-olds he registered. “Vote or Die”, and apparently most of 'em didn’t.
Shame this thread weren’t able to do like '02s and stay mostly civil & in MPSIMS. Ah, well…
::waltzes off humming:: “The times, they are a-changin’…”
Bravo! for that post.
Except in '96, the rate been in decline from a peak of 7.8% in the summer of '92. First time it had peaked that high in eight years.
You kicked our butts.
I am so glad I don’t have kids. There are no words for the horror I’d feel at having to raise them in the world you are making.
You’re going to have to live in it, too. Enjoy.
Thanks. Brutus inspired me, and I am posting in hopes his heart will bend in my direction, my hopeless affections from afar will find their reward, and he will discard that faithless trollop gobear and we can ride off into the sunset together.
Plus I enjoy laughing at people who misspell their own user name.

You think the problem in Iraq is the press? How many people have been killed by reporters?
Enjoy,
Steven
Not to put words in anybody’s mouth, but it sounded more like he was talking about the poor ‘press’ that comes out of Iraq. That is, endless reports of American GI’s killed, insurgents running wild, no-go zones, etc…
Surely the actual killings, running wild, no-go zones, etc. are the actual problem then. The “press” isn’t creating those events. If they were reporting events which did not happen(like reports Iraqi troops pulling babies out of incubators in Kuwait in GWI) then the press would be the problem, but I don’t see that here. I could see being happy at a president avoiding negative blowback from a false report, but the deaths and instability are not false reports. The handling of Iraq’s reconstruction is a serious strike against Bush and it was not fabricated by “the press”. Bad press on Iraq is reflective of a bad situation in Iraq. It is a symptom of a problem, not the problem itself.
Enjoy,
Steven
That’s so much horseshit. Sign a living will and execute a power of attorney for medical treatment naming your partner as the decision maker. That’s all you have ever needed to do; you damn sure didn’t need a marriage ceremony for that.
I wouldn’t disagree.
There are some who might make the point that the press should be focusing on all the ‘sucesses’ that Shrub et al seem to believe are occuring… but I wouldn’t be one of them.
You know, I hear in Canada they have different laws about that sort of stuff. Maybe we could give Sam a call… 
You know, I haven’t had this much fun jumping from board to board in a long time. The DU boards melted down, but not before I laughed like I haven’t laughed in ages. Well, days, since I just watched Not Another Teen Movie*, but you get the idea. The Donut Lord’s website crashed a while ago.
To those of my fellow tighty-Righties who think the SDMB Grim Association of Hysterical and Not-So Bright Lefties is overreacting, you are right. But HOLY CRAP there are some fucking nutcase lefties out there! It’s like if Dave Barry and PJ O’Rourke were given a task by God to go forth and populate the internet with the most ridiculous and over-the-top Lefty rants. Pure. Comedy. Gold. 
But let me reach out to the board Left here. I make the following promise: As long as you guys keep posting your amazing little ‘ITS TEH END OF THE WORLD!#@!@’ bits, I promise to keep laughing at you, interspersed with a touch of ridicule.
Ah, yes. The well remembered Republican Voice of Uniting, rather than . . . yeah. Never mind.
Hope you all have fun in your next invasion.
Tris
Thank you!
Well, it’s all yours now, tighty righties. You bought it, you own it, its all yours.
So far, we’ve lost about a thousand of our best and brightest in Iraq. Have you any reason, any reason at all, to believe it won’t be 2,000? 5,000? 10?
Will you still be happy-dancing?
Wow.
You’re a Bush supporter, correct?

Perhaps you could use your obvious ‘knowledge of history’ :rolleyes: to explain how the ‘advantages of WW2’ justify the above.
Words fail me.
Finally! Someone understands me! 
Well, actually it is kinda funny. 'Specially if you are all “shakey” and wet yourself. 
“Panic Attack” :rolleyes:
UNless they’'re gay, in which case they should just go swallow a bullet and do the world a favor, right you right wing reactionary shithead?
Fuck Bush.
I draw the line at three-ways.
I was seriously disappointed when Democratic Underground dumped. Don’t know about the Donut Lord.
Word.
