Please. You can't seem to accept the fact that there are many people in this country who do not share in your ideologies and values. Anybody who has different ideologies seem to be disregarded by your type (please, correct me if I am wrong, not trying to assume here, just calling it how I see it) as stupid unenlightened sheep who only hold these views because they are always listening to the "talking heads", or alternatively they are just ignorant uneducated hicks who don't really know any better or because they are indoctrinated in various forms of intolerance, religion being the biggest form.
I think it is pretty clear a lot of the people who voted for Obama have no idea who the hell he is or what he really stands for.
Bravo, dude! Thanks for the unintended example ::clap::
And Tiptup.....dude...... You're going to give yourself an aneurysm.
And what's up with the myriad of manufactured memories of me? They are as interesting to read as they are self-serving for you. You're pretty good at playing the shame game.
Yes, I know "trickle-down" economics isn't the official name, but it's the name that was used to sell it to the public, and the description of the intent is apt, even if it doesn't work. I know a great deal more than I'm putting in my posts, but I'm not going to write an eff'ing essay on this stuff for a Star Wars board.
I did want to address this, though, because I thought it was very funny.
I seriously can't believe that you're such a brainless drone that you'd actually believe Democrats have done nothing dirty to help them win any recent elections or win current debates. What a skewed, upside-down world you must live in. :)
See, the problem is, I didn't say that! What I DID do was contrast your little offhand remark to an actual event.
Allow me to break it down for you:
"Yes, a few, rare, low-level Republicans"
Elizabeth Dole is not "low-level".
"do shitty things when nobody's looking."
She aired 3 state-wide TV ads that were blasted by everyone nationwide. She later publicly stated that she stood by her ads.
"But, does MeBeJedi believe that every last low-level Democrat is a perfect little Sunday school student by comparison?"
The opponent against whom she created these ads for was a Sunday School teacher.
Now, whether you honestly didn't get it, or chose not to get it for the sake of your argument, I couldn't help but find humor in the old line that "Truth can be stranger than fiction". At no time whatsoever, however, did I use this one event to draw a sweeping conclusion about Republicans or Democrats in general.
But then again, considering how high the flames are rising in this thread, what I was REALLY trying to do clearly isn't all that important to the folks in this thread of a different political belief, so subtle humor goes out the window, which means my interest in it is lost.
Furthermore, it really doesn't matter much anymore, because:
Bad news: The nation's in a shambles (Which apparently Bush had nothing to do with. I guess the only thing worse than a complicit president is an ignorant one, like when he claimed to he hadn't heard anything about $4-a-gallon gas just before gas mysteriously hit $4.) Still, whether by accident or design, the cumulative effect of his administration has led to....
Good news: Obama won. I can sleep well at night, knowing that a very intelligent and driven man will be taking the reins pretty soon. If this gives you nightmares, then that's just too bad. I'm pleased as punch.
And with that, I'm out.
