That should catch me up to speed.

For a number of the posters in this forum, that is apparently what passes for debate and discussion.

It is like watching a couple of punk kids that are mad at each other screaming F.U. at each other again and again in lieu of an actual fight.

In fact, some of these posters truly may not have anything else to add to the conversation. So they have a choice between name calling and personal attacks, or quietly lurking out of site.

That makes me think of a poster I rember seeing quite a few years ago:

"Better to keep you mouth closed and appear stupid,
Than to open your mouth and remove the doubt."

In any case, this is obviously not how a person who has class and intellect behaves. Quite the opposite.

I don't think there is too much to be taken away from yesterday's elections. Voter turnout was down and Republicans capitalized in Virginia, Corzine, saddled with a bad economy and a corruption, lost a narrow election and in NY 23 disunity among Republicans led to a Democrat winning.

None of these, other than low voter turnout, strike me as much of a sign of a trend and even the low voter turnout would be indicative of an odd year election.

I think my post stands in spite of your lame-o attempt at trying to pass off a bizarre post as some wry play on a viral youtube clip.

it was a playful jeu de mot, mais, je ne suis pas surpris que tu ne comprends pas.

Everybody understands what you were trying to do, you dandy. They just all agree you failed at it.

	It cracks me up how basso's favorite Republicans are among the most unpopular, failed politicians around: He still likes Palin best of all, he was all over endorsing Steele, he's acting like Hoffman won and he's one of the few R's around that hasn't disowned Bush/Cheney. Talk about a fantasy world. __________________ "What is the difference between founding a bank and robbing a bank?" - Bertolt Brecht

Well, he's got nothing else left to hold on to, right?

Oh, it sure does piss me off to see basso line up with a nitwit empty suit who got pushed to the forefront of the republican ticket of some upstate craphole because Rush, Palin etc didn't like the moderate republican's stance on gay marriage/abortion etc - who then promptly got spanked in the general election in a district that has been solid republican for the 137 straight years since Ulysses S. Grant was re-elected.

let me tell you that I am really rankled. I just came back from vacation yesterday, and now I am rankled to the core. All of it has been undone.

:D

I am glad to see that you referred to the bill as "healthcare legislation" rather than "healthcare reform". It is an important distinction that you got exactly right.
