If we subpoena Rove and keep persecuting Gonzales, it's gonna make us

[Jackpine Radical]

Look Bad.

Just thuoght I'd say it first to save the Concern Trolls the wear & tear on their little tentacles.

[LostinVA]

1. I was about to alert on this -- good one!

[Junkdrawer]

2. But, But, We....Might....Loooose....

Concern Trolls Motto: "It is better to roll over and play dead than to have fought and lost." (tm)

[marylanddem]

3. Thank you! I am so sick of hearing about how things make us

"look bad" . I don't give a damn about appealing to some idiot who doesn't know his/her ass from a hole in the wall. I never thought of it as trolls but that would explain it.

[DCKit]

4. I would have said "free and happy" n/t

[madfloridian]

5. I am not good at snark....so I don't attempt it.

Who are you referring to? Is this part of the battle against those of us who supported Conyers as being one of the good guys?

As I say, I don't get some snark.

[Lerkfish]

6. well, since you bring it up, the whole problem is making the topic of impeachment about

one idividual or another, and trashing either individual.

[madfloridian]

11. Am I consiidered a "concern troll" now? Because I support Conyers..

and think Cindy overreached?

So be it.

This whole board hinges on Cindy Cindy Cindy. A lot of good people have been insulted here for days now because we are not perfect.

[Jackpine Radical]

17. Good God, no.

I keep telling people that Conyers is playing chess & being criticized for making bad checkers moves.

[madfloridian]

22. Thanks for clarifying.

A lot of us here have paid dearly for supporting Conyers and the party on this.

[mzmolly]

33. Love that analogy!

:toast:

[Lerkfish]

20. wow. did you even read my post?

really, just try reading it, ok, before you go off half cocked like that...

stop putting words in my mouth. MY POINT is that making the impeachment debate about EITHER Sheehan or Conyers is wrong. That's being critical of BOTH SIDES.

I've never used the term "concern troll" to my knowledge, and I was not accusing YOU of anything, I was speaking to the situation in general....mmmkay?

[madfloridian]

21. I was speaking in general terms.......

I am pretty straightforward about things, and this post went over my head.

I know what concern trolls are, but since up is down and in is out now...you just never know if you are one.

[AntiFascist]

38. Binary thinking (it seems to be rampant lately)...

some of us stayed out of the Cindy/Conyers controversy.

[Jackpine Radical]

15. It was nothing more than a light-hearted jab at the idiots or worse who

deplore our "partisanship" whenever we say something bad about, or act against, a Bushie.

BTW, I pretty much like & agree with your writing.

[madfloridian]

26. Thanks.

:hi:

[bigtree]

7. NO one has used that complaint about the committee investigations

I haven't seen that

[Time for change]

37. Here's one I believe

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=1342394#1346202

[Fovea]

8. Thank you Jackpine for your valuble

public service. Now we can all fart on the idea, and the concern trolls can go trolling on to something even more laughable.

The Repugs have become the poster boys for crony capitalism, contempt for the rule of law, deviant moralists, election fraud, conspiracy in furtherance of election fraud, illegal wars of occupation and theft, war and oil profiteering, contract fraud, warrantless surveillance, domestic use of mercenaries post Katrina, and efforts to create a one party system, a political crime that well exceeds the bar to impeach. But this will make Dems look *bad*?

And let's face it, we need a good laugh.

[Benhurst]

9. Oh, poor Karl Rove. He looks just like a cherub. And that darling, Gonzalez.

He reminds me of Tattoo on Fantasy Island.

:puke:

Throw 'em both in jail and throw away the key.

[driver8]

16. Ha Ha -- Tattoo on Fantasy Island!!

I was trying to think of who (or what) Gonzo reminded me of...

"It's da' Plame, bossth, da' Plame!" (Sorry...it's early.).

[AndreaCG]

28. Funniest thing I've read in days!

[radfringe]

10. grumble grumble no underlying crime.....

grumble grumble partisan politics

grumble grumble pathetic

grumble grumble political stunt

grumble grumble if the dems hold bush/cheney/loyal bushies accountable it might cost us the SELECTION

grumble grumble ummmm ummmm grumble grumble IT'S CLINTON's FAULT!

on edit: did I miss any?

[Jackpine Radical]

23. Yeah. "It's Clintons penis's fault."

[radfringe]

31. I humbly beg your forgiveness

but I'm a lesbian - what do I know about penises? :rofl:

[Jackpine Radical]

46. Jackpine bites tongue, beats head against wall

in effort to suppress a smartass reply that would not be a good thing to...insert...into the conversation just now--

[Norquist Nemesis]

12. "Bad" is the new good...isn't it?

Hey! I'm down with that! *high five*

[shadowknows69]

13. But being bad feels soooooo good

[Catherine Vincent]

14. LOL!

Your concern is duly noted! :)

[onenote]

18. You building a house with that straw, man?

I'd love to see a link to a post that has expressed concern about the "persecution" of Gonzo or about the conduct of any of the investigatory/oversight hearings into the US Atty's or the Ashcroft bedside visit, etc.

[Jackpine Radical]

24. That's because I cleverly & courageously headed them off.

[trof]

19. It's a WITCH-HUNT! I tell ya. Nuthin' but a WITCH-HUNT!

So sayeth c-span callers this a.m.

[Jackpine Radical]

25. Yup. A witch hunt.

[LanternWaste]

27. I was actually asked by a co-worker...

I was actually asked by a co-worker on Tues., "Do you think all these endless investigations can actually be good for the country? It's nothing more than a fishing expedition!"

To which I replied, "Did you proclaim, with this same amount of righteous indignation when precious time was taken up by the tax-payer supported investigation of Pres. Clinton's? Or the tax-payer supported investigation of his Christmas card list?"

He hasn't answered me... nor has he talked to me since then.

[spanone]

29. i hope we keep looking real bad

[Bluebear]

30. Um, now is the time to keep our powder dry.

:crazy:

[billyoc]

32. Yeah, I don't want to be the bad guy.

Oh, wait, yes I do.

[smiley_glad_hands]

34. "Concern Trolls"

So because I don't care for CS's tactics (i do support democrats), I am now a concern troll. Thankyou, I've been here for a long time and this is a first.

I dont have a problem with protesting the war. I like it. But CS protesting dems is a not going to work to the collective benefit of the left. Its only going to get repugs elected.

[Bluebear]

39. Hos is this about Cindy Sheehan all of a sudden?

Or "CS"?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

35. Alberto Gonzalez --- Poor Man!

ORGON
(To Dorine)
Has everything gone well these last two days?
What's happening? And how is everybody?

DORINE
Madam had fever, and a splitting headache
Day before yesterday, all day and evening.

ORGON
And how about Tartuffe?

DORINE
Tartuffe? He's well;
He's mighty well; stout, fat, fair, rosy-lipped.

ORGON
Poor man!

DORINE
At evening she had nausea
And could't touch a single thing for supper,
Her headache still was so severe.

ORGON
And how
About Tartuffe?

DORINE
He supped alone, before her,
And unctuously ate up two partridges,
As well as half a leg o' mutton, deviled.

ORGON
Poor man!

DORINE
All night she couldn't get a wink
Of sleep, the fever racked her so; and we
Had to sit up with her till daylight.

ORGON
How
About Tartuffe?

DORINE
Gently inclined to slumber,
He left the table, went into his room,
Got himself straight into a good warm bed,
And slept quite undisturbed until next morning.

ORGON
Poor man!

DORINE
At last she let us all persuade her,
And got up courage to be bled; and then
She was relieved at once.

ORGON
And how about
Tartuffe?

DORINE
He plucked up courage properly,
Bravely entrenched his soul against all evils,
And to replace the blood that she had lost,
He drank at breakfast four huge draughts of wine.

ORGON
Poor man!

[The Count]

36. I'm sure I'll look fat because of it, but so be it!

:rofl:

[proud patriot]

40. The question to be asked is .. Look bad to whom?

:think:

[eppur_se_muova]

41. Leahy just peed on our powder! nt

[guitar man]

42. who gives a shit

If we risk looking bad to the great mass of uninformed and undecideds to inform them of how rotten things have gotten, so be it. Winning takes RISK, not kegs and kegs of dry powder.

And as far as the unmoving, kool-aid drinking, bu$h-loving RW moonbats, who really gives a shit about them???? To them, whether we do anything or not, we're still a bunch of 'Murka hatin,left wing, pinko, bed-wettin' birkenstock wearin' latte drinkin'....damn....LIBRULS!!..to them anyway. Because Rush, Bu$h and Jesus told them so by god!!

So if we're going to be damned, let's be damned for doing something and burn some of that powder we've been keeping dry!!!

[guitar man]

43. dupe-delete

[damntexdem]

44. Worse than that -- it might start to make Democrats look ...

effective!

Just think of the consequences!

;-)

[Gelliebeans]

45. Caught me

I should of known better sorry for the thoughts I didn't type. ;)
