    I now have a better understanding, Thanks. The oil companies need a more effective way to obtain more crude oil.

    I reject the hypothesis in the latter portion of this quotation! Most people don't have that good sense.

    Snowe retiring in Maine. Solid chance for a Dem pickup.

    I don't get it.

    After the Republicans have virtually shutdown Congress with the Tea Party House and the filibustering Senate, why would the public vote more Republicans into office?

    because it's far better than having King Urkel of Mombasa pass his agenda

    Racist?

    He reminds me of Urkel

    He was likely born in Mombasa

    your point?

    Exactly. I hope the public isn't stupid enough to not realize who has been stalling what over the past few years.

    I made my point, and the post I'm responding to now only helps to show what a fool you are. Worse than a fool, because you should know better. After all, you claim to go to Rice. I've never doubted that before, but I'm beginning to now. More than a fool... a racist fool.

    Olympia Snowe has decided not to run for reelection, which is huge. Hopes for the Democratic Party to hold the Senate just went up, folks. Snowe would have easily won another term. I'm now predicting that the seat will go Democratic.

    Typical hate rhetoric with absolutely no substance. You really wonder why the GOP has no chance in the election this year?

    no ideas
    no solutions

    no class

    no wonder the GOP is the laughing stock of the country

    'Racist' is a misnomer and propaganda weapon. It is used to deflect legitimate criticism and questions about Black people.

    Keep note of that next time you fall into the trap of using this term.

    /end tangent :)

    In all seriousness, this type of rhetoric runs rampant in many GOP circles and commentators (ie Rush, Coulter, Beck, Levin, etc).

    What makes it challenging is that this type of rhetoric has really become the nature of politics. There were numerous attacks on Bush and Cheney's appearance, intelligence, and the like, so it's somewhat expected that the GOP would adopt a similar posture against Obama.....

    If it wasnt clear, I wasnt attempting to defend bigtexxx as much as I was placing him as a microcosm of the GOP establishment, and to a certain extent, political rhetoric as a whole.

    And I dont remember anyone calling Jr a whitey, but I certainly remember many sexist remarks directed against Sarah Palin that went largely uncontested....
