For all those who have a problem with the president I suggest you don't vote for him next time

[still_one]

[Enrique]

1. if I could I would

if only for the Supreme Court

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. Don't worry

I will leave the slate at the top blank.

Not willing to participate in this quadrennial farce.

[still_one]

10. The Green Party will open their arms to you

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. Sorry, this is like voting for the PRI...not a tinkers damn of difference

I will cover it for the paper, it pays the bills, but care that much about process any longer? Nope.

Hey, look on the bright side, nothing like being 18 again.

[still_one]

18. To be 18 again

[leftynyc]

27. If you don't see a tinkers damn

of difference between justices Thomas and Sotomayor, I feel very sorry for you.

[nadinbrzezinski]

28. You might want to read this

I stand with Frank Zappa.

[leftynyc]

29. OK - I read it

There was no context but I did read it. So? Supreme Court justices can do DECADES worth of damage - I'm not leaving that in the hands of the party that extends their hands to the palins, limbaughs and cruzs of the world.

[nadinbrzezinski]

31. You buy into it

I don't.

It is that simple. To be 18 again and just vote to stay in practice cause it don't matter.

So tell me oh wise one...how will the next free trade agreement work for the former middle class? These are the issues we are talking about where both party elites agree on.

Sorry...the illusion is dead.

[leftynyc]

34. If all you care about is trade agreements

feel free to knock yourself out in your self righteousness. There are 3 decisions coming out next week - DOMA, voting rights and affirmative action. If you don't think it matters who those 9 justices are, you are incredibly naive. But like I said, if you're a one issue voter, go ahead and cut off your nose.

[nadinbrzezinski]

35. This *is* a duzy

And a whoosh all into one.

Have a good day.

[SidDithers]

47. Nailed it...nt

Sid

[leftynyc]

49. Purists are like little children

I'm weary from their tantrums. Am I happy with the administration at this moment? Not even close. Would I sit out an election and pout about it? Not on your life.

[dlwickham]

53. +1

and amen!

[DCBob]

61. ++1

[cali]

3. I'm embarrassed for you.

ack. could you have posted anything shallower, more puerile, sillier and with less substance?

The answer is no.

[RobertEarl]

5. Really is sad, isn't it?

I actually hate to kick such dumb threads but if we never tell DU that we hate such posts, the stupid might take over. As if they haven't already....

[still_one]

9. Since this is the typical lack of humor that du has become it is no surprise

I wonder how many realize a president cannot run 3 terms?

Since they believe all other conspiracy shit that comes across I am sure there are some

[Puzzledtraveller]

14. I got the joke still_one

[still_one]

23. And so are you for participating in this thread

I really sense a lot of anger and intolerance as of late for expressions that people do not agree with

For a progressive site to have such cynicism does not bode well in my view

[still_one]

33. I least you are brutally honest, you have to respect that

[still_one]

22. I agree it was not good, but the conspiracy threads got to me

specifically the hasting car crash

[treestar]

21. Well you know the spying is for purposes of suppressing political dissent

So the President can stay in for life and never run again, presumably.

I'm sure we'll see that claim made eventually.

[still_one]

8. Compared to the conspiracy nonsense spewing forth, no

[DCBob]

38. I think the OP is trying to be sarcastic.

Perhaps you missed that.

[villager]

56. No, because as one of the OP's fellow travelers in this thread said, "Purists are like...

...little children."

So it is with those whose love of the Executive is so pure, total, and all -encompassing, they can brook no discussion of a leader's policies.

[treestar]

4. They are working on 2014

Make sure Congress stays Republican so they can have another 2 years.

If they fail, then the laws the POTUS and Dem Congress pass will simply be not good enough.

They are set!

[Tarheel_Dem]

6. +1000

[RobertEarl]

7. Who is 'They'

And your way has been successful? Are you not a plant yourself, tree?

[still_one]

13. Of course I was being sarcastic because I was getting really fed up with the Hastings

Conspiracy threads

I am even surprised that some responded with such disdain at this post. Not referring to you

[Bluenorthwest]

17. The smirking sneering sarcastic patronization tactics are a big part of why I do not care for

OFA politics. Mean people suck. Mean people who smugly lord their extra double plus rights over others whom they say have 'plenty of rights' are just shitty.

[still_one]

36. Unfortunately I think you are right

[Bluenorthwest]

12. That's cute. No, it is his 'Centrist Bipartisan' crowd that gets no more votes.

Oh, they are all endorsing each other early and trying to pull off a presumptive close on the nominations but they will not be nominated, that Third Way bullshit is bullshit and smells like it, time for all who purvey it to be sent home. Liberal Democrats will replace the GOP lite, GOP loving Tea Dogs and Blue Baggers.

[still_one]

16. At least you recognized my sarcasm and actual responded with a

well thought post, though I don't agree completely with your assessment

[JackRiddler]

15. America - Love It Or Leave It!

Fuck yeah!

[still_one]

46. Wow, haven't heard that since the Viet Nam war /nt

[JackRiddler]

57. You haven't only heard it, you SAID it in the OP.

No distinction in the logic and attitude. Equally obnoxious and brainless. Atavistic us-and-them thinking, nothing more.

[still_one]

58. No I didn't Voldemort, I was being sarcastic

[JackRiddler]

62. Oh. And here I am always complaining...

About people who don't get sarcasm when I do it.

But it's hard, don't you think?

I mean, how is your ironic version distinguishable from the current DU atmosphere, where if you have a problem with longstanding US government policies of war, imperialism, surveillance, authoritarianism, casually murdering brown people around the world, etc., you are promptly told you're a .... racist!

[dawg]

20. It isn't just about the President.

Lots of people are accusing others of being anti-Obama, but that isn't it at all.

What we are, is anti-austerity, anti-chained CPI, anti-surveillance, anti-NDAA, anti-Patriot Act, anti-drone, anti-Gitmo, anti-Third-Way bullshit.

And believe you me, *that* agenda will very much be on the ballot in 2016.

[still_one]

37. I don't know if it will be as clear as you are putting it

[dawg]

39. It never is, but I'm going to be way more skeptical from now on.

I'm tired of candidates who campaign to the left of me and then govern to the right.

[whatchamacallit]

24. I'll go one better

I won't vote for anyone like him next time. No more go-along-to-get-along corporate centrists for moi.

[magellan]

25. Wow. You know, at this point I'm grateful

...that Skinner is nothing like RimJob.

[DinahMoeHum]

30. Heh heh. Damn right.

Skinner,

[FBaggins]

32. Pretty stupid

As if a midterm election isn't about the sitting president.

[still_one]

40. my post was not referring to that, it was being nonsensical about a 3rd term for

the president.

Obviously, some on the thread took it with much more seriousness then it was meant

In fact this thread has gotten much responses from the thread I usually start which kid of amazes me

[Dash87]

51. It is now... Ohhhh snap!

According to Glenn Beck, Obama will be elected again by the reptilian moot, and he would absolutely never lie.

[TheKentuckian]

41. Right on, I won't be voting for Ronnie Ray Gun's 10th term no matter what

his race, gender, party, or rhetoric is and if I get tricked then I'll turn with extreme prejudice.

[still_one]

43. To republicans he is their diety

[99Forever]

42. Golly, are you so very clever?

What "clever people" such as yourself, aren't quite "clever" enough to comprehend, is that the price for this Corporate Lackey/Police State Shill act, will be paid for by the Democratic Party, in general. The beatdown coming in 2014 and 2016, will make 2010 look like a buffjob.

WTG, Personality Adoration Society, you've managed to resurrect The Republican Party from the grave.

Yee haw.

[still_one]

44. oh no, the republicans are digging their own grave quite successfully. I doubt very much they will

get much support from women, Hispanics, minorities, and even many independents since they have moved so far right

Regardless, if the Democrats want more progressive leadership, they need to run candidates to challenge those that do not represent progressive views.

In Texas their are boots on the ground to try to take back some of those seats. While the republicans are busy exposing their Hispanic racism, the demographic is turning in Texas that will put that position as a losing one

[99Forever]

50. You keep telling yourself that.

I've heard it all before, including during the runup to the 2010 big Democratic "victory."

Many, will not be played again. I am among that number. I will vote my principles for however long I am still breathing, never again will someones party affiliation qualify them as "the only choice." Ever.

I am not alone.

[still_one]

59. and I heard how we were going to lose the house, senate, and executive branch in 2012

The reason we didn't was because of the demographic I just referred to

In fact the republicans are even moving further to the right in those positions

[99Forever]

60. I don't know "what you heard"....

... and don't see that as relevant. What I do see as relevant, is that this is the same game the lying liars have played in the last 3 elections. Treating people as stupid, isn't exactly a brilliant strategy. The Dems will get their asses handed to them in 2014 and 2016, that much is a given.

Worst of all, it DIDN'T have to be this way.

[Dash87]

45. O'Doyle rules!

[still_one]

48. YES, O'Doyle Rules!!!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

52. are you serious? is there an award people are giving out for dumb posts?

[City Lights]

54. Ok.

[Pholus]

55. Haha! That makes me think of my old Soviet jokes...

The DLC candidate sees a man carrying a watermelon while riding a car on his way home. He asks the driver to stop the car and approaches the man. He tells him that the watermelon is looking nice and asks him to sell it to him. The man replies "Sure, pick the one you want" and the DLC candidate asks "How can I pick? There is only one". The man replies "Just how we elected you."

[nadinbrzezinski]

64. I am far more partial for the newborn kittens joke.

It applies, in spades.

[Pholus]

65. I almost forgot that one.

They opened their eyes...

[nadinbrzezinski]

66. I even posted it the other day

[Pholus]

67. Be careful when you fight the monsters, lest you become one.

I guess we missed that warning.

Cheers!

[Rex]

63. Pretty good, did it take long to come up with that?
