But you forget - the election was the accountability moment. The slate is clean. Like the ecclesiastical white-out of being born again, the bullshit meter is reset to zero. Never mind that conservatives have been on the wrong side of just about everything for the past four to five years, the fact that they won several elections gives **Scylla** the right to spew invective. Even better, he can deny allegience to the current Republicans while deriding the Democrats and liberals. Sure, a naive person might call that just being a pussy, but hey. They just don’t understand politics. ---

A “dick”? That’s like saying Gibralter is “a rock”. ---

> [@Ukulele Ike](#): > > S, I don’t see my opinion of you bearing more of a “personal grudge” than any of the several other posters currently calling you out for being a dick. Bullshit. Look at the title of the thread. Look at what’s in it. It starts off with some of the worst knee-jerk hatemongering and goes downhill from there. You conveniently ignore all that to “tut-tut,” at me, and you’re a big enough scumbag to brink my kid into it after you apologized (I thought sincerely) for doing it before. > [@](#): > > As a fellow poster, I’m entitled to my opinion, including seeing you as being more than capable of defending yourself against others who don’t go about their business with their keyboards stapled to their chests and find it disheartening to keep up with your endless cataracts of watery bilge. Tough shit. Don’t read it, then. > [@](#): > > As a moderator, I’ll hand out warnings to those who break board rules in their tauntings of you – not merely because Your Lordship decrees it. You draw a distinction that doesn’t work. You’re a moderator all the time. You represent the staff and administration all the time. You set the tone for other posters to follow. Indulging yourself in such fashion makes you a shitty moderator. If you want to do it, you should quit and pay your fifteen bucks. > [@](#): > > Is this enough of a not-drive-by for you?

Can’t we all just get along? Look, lets say this: GeeDubya is an utter incompetent, a collossal failure as a President and a leader, in every respect dimwitted, hamfisted and arrogantly stubborn.

> [@SteveG1](#): > > Works for me! 😃 > Anyone who questions that incompetent, lying, cowardly, sneaky, irresponsible, borderline insane, AND FUCKING UGLY sumbitch are just not nice people. Stupid bastard couldn’t walk and chew gum at the same time. Considering the level of competence and intelligence shown around here, I trust one of you defenders of the truth will be on the ballot in 2008? If Bush was smart enough to surround himself with the people that would be able to get him elected, I have to assume you few enlightened ones could do the same. Shit, if just the members in this thread that avoid bacon based on the Bush comparison got together you’d be an obvious shoe-in. (Or is it shoo-in? Never really occured to me to ask which is correct.) And his looks? Seriously? I hope you’re whooshing. But I know you’re not. Every Bush thread I’ve seen mentioned his looks, as if that’s somehow relevant. Shows the latent shallowness of some. And **Uke**. What the **FUCK** are you doing bringing up **Scylla** ’s child?!? I was hoping you’d clarify when I asked the reason you brought it up. _crickets_ I’m left to understand that as a fucking moderator you get _carte blanche_ to get the deepest, most personal insults hurled to a member without impunity. An insult that would easily result in an official warning among us lessers. And the fact nobody else calls you on it is very, very telling. I asked if there was some history I didn’t know of that would explain it was some cheap shot that wasn’t taken seriously. Based on the response (from **Scylla** only) I can’t see it as anything other than the lowest and cheapest shot a punk could take. I know you don’t like me. I know if you have some list I’m on it. I don’t give a fuck. Why not just stop by his house tonight, shoot his dog and punch his wife in the tit? You’d be as big a man as calling out his kid. ---

Every Bush thread I’ve seen mentioned his looks, as if that’s somehow relevant. Shows the latent shallowness of some. Naaah, can’t do it. I didn’t get born into the right family, didn’t go to the right schools, wasn’t in with the Skull n Bones guys, and don’t have the right business contacts. I didn’t have a rich and powerful family to carry my weight for me all my life, or a legion of devoted flunkies to bury all my traffic tickets (I’m a lead foot), drinking “adventures” etc. As a member of the middle class, I had to eventually do for myself. I did not have th option of failing my way to the top. Besides, I’m vested and don’t want to throw away whatever pension I’m gonna get in a few years. Finally, if I’m gonna whore myself out, I may as well do it honestly and stake out a street corner. I never mentioned his looks before (at least I don’t think I ever did). For the record though, I love Bush beans n bacon. It’s da shiznit. While we’re on it though, damn straight I could have done a better job than Bush has done. I could do **absolutely nothing** and it would be a better job. I’m also a better"speechifier". I would not have turned that scripted and pre-arranged “interview” with the troops into such a Saturday Night Live episode. I would have brought more than “freedom stay the course terror hater we’re all gonna die” bullshit to the debates. Hell, even I would have shredded Kerry, and probably could have destroyed Bush, Cheney, and never raise a sweat. In office, I would have sent the oil boys, the Enron boys, the theocrats, etc packing. I would bring back the old “The buck stops here” philosophy. AND, we would not have gone to war over bullshit. AND, I would have never allowed Osama to escape at Tora Bora. And Heckuva Job Brownie the fashio god would never have been in charge of FEMA. And all the neocons would be in deep shit, if they tried to pull their crap. And on and on and on and on and on. ---
