    I suspect many Dems were once saying similar things about the Repubs in the early-mid 60's.

    Last 70+ years:

    FDR
    FDR
    FDR
    FDR
    Truman
    Ike
    Ike
    JFK
    LBJ
    Dick
    Dick
    Carter
    RR
    RR
    41
    Big Dog
    Big Dog
    W*
    W

    10 D's to 9 R's and Ike's 2 weren't exactly in keeping with what the current GOP base believes or wants. I seriously doubt he would choose to become a Republican today.

    batman won't let me. he knows i'm addicted cc.net and is always there for me...giving me other things to do. I posted here partially just to spite him and his controlling influence over me for these past 3 years. but that's childish of me. i should at least respond to his post...

    ok, here's my input....there are 3 types of lies. surely we can name them. the last is "statistics".

    so, bj quit trying to think you can lie better than republicans. that's the whole problem with dems.

    it's like trying to stop Phoenix when they have Yao's number. You can't do it.

    i'm done. I know bj's going to be pissed. but, in those immortale words in "All Along the Watchtower" by Andy Partridge...

    "I can't get no r e l e a s e!"

    HP's being funny. I wish he would post in the GARM. It's lacking in high quality posters and he's out of his league here. Let me see if I got the syllogism right though...

    Mark Twain made a joke about statistics being lies. I posted some polling numbers. Ergo, I'm a liar. Syllogisms are awesome. Here are a couple of my favorites, paraphrased, with apologies to Ionesco.

    All cats have four legs. My dog has four legs. Therefore, he is a cat.

    All cats die. Hitler died. Therefore Hitler was a cat. ("That's so true! I had a cat named Hitler!")

    I hung out with HP last weekend and you wouldn't believe the lies he told! He cited Kenny Thomas's numbers with the Rockets, the Sixers AND the Kings! All lies. What a lying liar.

    hey, i'm not lying. i would just rather twist the facts than be called a gay libbypig. Plus, i just think it's wrong to call someone a gay libbypig unless you're one, too.

    oh, and here's another syllogism...

    Hunters have licenses to kill. Poacher's don't. Cheney had no license, so he's a poacher.

    and another...

    The Constitution gives the President a license to kill. FISA somewhat obstructs that. ergo, FISA is unconstitional.

    am i lying?

    well, anyhow...here's a GARM truism. Don't ever sucker punch K9. You might get your jaw broken by an old teammate and end up sitting on the bench watching K9 for the rest of your career.

    The strongest supporters also happen to be the strongest Jazz fans.

    Oh crispee, you're so much better in the GARM. If you're going to unban yourself, do it somewhere where you have something to say. You're not making any sense here.

    p.s. I know you're just funning, but I'd love to see where in the Constitution the president's given an unchecked license to kill.

    and, oh, if you're going to be a drama queen about this...i like to refer to it as coming out, rather than unbanning myself...but i can understand why you look at it as me unbanning myself, since you love to watch me unban myself so much.

    So, even though Bush was asleep at the wheel in 2001, was completely wrong about Iraq, (creating the greatest strategic error in US history), bankrupted the country, ruined Medicaid and Medicare and nearly lost a US city through incompetence you are still happy with this guy? I will argue you on your grounds. I think his moral character is the lowest we've ever had in our White House. Svpernaut, George W. Bush lies everyday to you and me. He lied about 9-11, he lied about Iraq, he lied about the Plame investigation, he lied about Katrina and lied about spying on Americans. Let me make something clear to you: he's not just out of touch, or out of his depth. Your president is a liar. Worse than LBJ, Nixon, or Clinton. He calls environmental laws that reward polluters "The Clears Skies Initiative." He sells off our once protected national forests under the guise of "The Healthy Forests Inititive." He promotes the Patriot Act as he does away with the 4th Ammendment of our constitution. These people are the stuff Orwell's nightmares. This is a guy who got up in the middle of the night to play politics with Terry Schiavo's death and couldn't hardly be bothered to come off vacation when a category 4 hurricane was bearing down in New Orleans. Moral character? No way.

    thats so funny how you say "forbes" b/c kerry has alot of money! he's rich and stuff.

    what cracked me up so much was that the conservapigs derided kerry for being wealthy elite when bush and his family has more money than john forbes kerry could ever dream of marrying into.

    we had such "choice" in 04 - two prep-school ivy league educated, extremely wealthy white guys who both just happened to belong to skull and bones.
