GOD DAMN IT!!! i'm watching republicans on the steps of my...

[bridgit]

government; on a c-span replay, yaking fucking on & fucking on about cutting spending while these assholes have already spent the entire u.s. treasury into bankruptcy suggesting now that we cut the likes pbs & sell the rest of federally held lands all together to pay for katrina; this is an utter outrage, when will we vote these moronic idiots the hell out!!!

1. Not until you fix the rigged electronic voting systems. n/t

5. my sense is that we do not need to concur deibold...

to alter the way in which elections are conducted, it clearly takes a slim majority to sway the means by which contracts are dispensed; black boxes do not scare me so much as the donors who make them possible, vote the bully puppets out by narrow margins if need be & our chances are greatly increased in time...and it will take time imo

11. Swamp them in 2006 so they are out, rigged or not.

They can only get away with rigging it a few times in borderline districts. Swamp them with votes so either they can rig it or they are caught in the act.

14. Exactly. Fix the figgin election systems. Until then, we are no

democracy.

4. I know. Not even Salvador Dali could paint something so surreal.

6. surrealism i could exalt to some extent...

republicanism as it exists today is not worthy of a 10ct novel sold by the pound

7. Its all about profit.

What really gets me is that the conservative ideas of "smaller government" are so obviously just a tool they use to justify this shit. Sell the federally owned land and give the money to Halliburton to rebuild. IF they really wanted smaller government they could start by spending less. But what they are trying to do is to DESTROY the financial bases that democrats could use to run an effective government. This is huge.

9. friend, that's the biggest HOOT of all...

these fuckers have doubled & tripled the size of government, HLS doubled it alone with the stroke of one fucking pen :thumbsdown:

[lvx35]

16. I know, its all spending, no taxing

therefore all deficit building. The thing is I don't know how they even plan to PAY for DHS in a few years...MAybe that's the point where Halliburton will official become the government or something. Crazy shit.

8. we're a third world country now...

Cronyism, Nepotism, Plutocracy, Oligarchy, Fascism...these are not mere terms, they are what defines our lives nowadays.

15. We have always been

Look at indicators like the gulf between rich and poor, and infant mortality rates among the poor.

12. Go to freerepubic and you will see it is all sane----to them

One million more poor people evey year since Bush got in and they love him. Odd, as they get poor we all get poorer. It always works like that. You would think they would see that but they do not. Odd as my dear old GOP father understood that. A better town makes every one better off.Why is it that these people do not understand that no one makes much money if I buy my clothing at Good Will and buy day old bread or go to a free food place? Where is Charles Dickens when we need him?

13. and the beat goes on...
