Liberal feminism at its best. You people are such pathetic losers, you can't adhere to your own standards for even the simplest test or the briefest of periods. These comments prove that liberals only "love, tolerate, and support" those who think exactly as they do. Bigots, all of you.
P.S. I read an article here recently that stated that the only way the republican party would survive would be if it became democrat. Well, now it looks like BO is becoming republican. Ha Ha.
You are assuming that minds that matter were changed by the critics in the first place. You should not assume that everyone thinks like you. It is the mark of a very poor journalist(?)
Not yours. Can't have it. Make up your own thing. Period.
Karl Rove was the republican a--hole, and Salonistas claimed it proved that the repubs were the party of satan. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, it's ok if your party employs one. How charming. How utterly predictable.
BO has already picked a conservative bulldog as his chief of staff.
Mortgage and gas paid for, everything will be oooooo kkkkkkk. But he better hurry. I got no time for political scuses.
The other thing liberals excel at is jumping to conclusions that support their biases. You assume that because I critique a democrat that I am somehow a supporter of republicans. If you do even the most cursory of research, you will find that I support neither, but then, that would not fit with your world view that anyone who disagrees with you is somehow your mortal enemy.
So much for the liberal credo. I have found the love/peace/tolerance line to be the biggest lie of all. The evidence that I have collected here and at other public forums is that liberals can be the most hateful, biased people I have ever encountered.
Spread the love, spread the wealth.
Remember Kathy Sierra.
I can always count on a liberal for my daily dose of profanity. Doesn't that strike you as odd? Does liberal=profane? Seems so. Just rile em up a little and out it comes. So civilized, so impressive. So adult.
"Given their angst and frustration, it is no surprise that liberals have been enjoying the loudest (and last?) laughs during our current, pioneering age of dark, ironic humor."
What, don't you remember all those SNL skits about Billy Boy? Or how about Clinton's closing remark to Lisa Simpson when she complained about his bad example: "Well I’m a pretty bad president".
If Obama wins, you can count on the laughter dying, as the realization sets in that he will be no more effective than Pelosi, Reed, Murtha, et al have been. Stop living in a fantasy world.
Yes, Stuart's ratings will fade as Michael Savage's soar. You see, conservatives welcome criticism of the republicans far more than liberals tolerate criticism of the democrats. Savage will rail and Stuart will be in a lose/lose situation. He won't be allowed to slam BO, and with a dem majority, won't be able to blame repubs. He will go the way of Air America. It's shaping up to be a boring (though Savagely manic) four years.
Looking forward to being equally poor? Spread the wealth around BO, baby (as long as it's your wealth, not mine).
of Pelosi, Reed, Murtha, etc. Obama is sure to inspire and please. Just kidding. He will be as big a disappointment to his supporters as the aforementioned "100 days" crusaders. If you have not figured out that the oligarchy runs the show by now, then you're just plain stupid. 700 billion dollars (so far) stupid. And remember the dems voted for that little pat-on-the-back to the bankers, just like the repubs.
The only real effect that BO may have is to shame the republicans into becoming a tiny bit more conservative, but not really enough to matter. I don't know why you loving, tolerant liberals seethe with so much hatred for Bush (or anyone/anything else for that matter - Doesn't that go against your central values of love/peace/tolerance... Ha, ha, never mind. Just ignore this parenthetical digression), after all, he presided over the most liberal government to date. Remember, the biggest entitlement program in many, many years is the Medicare drug program. You should love the guy. He has spent more of your tax dollars than just about anyone, and you know how liberals love the government spending programs.
Equality for all! Whether they actually deserve it or not. Two cars in every driveway, and a big screen TV in every living room! SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND, BABY.
but that does not negate the fact that Obama is one too. It has been my contention that the Federal government started its slide to socialism long ago.
It is a pretty pathetic argument to sugest that because someone might be construed as "as bad" as someone else that it somehow excuses the actions of another.
Murderer: "I'm not that bad, other people have murdered too."
Me: Ok, so you're a murderer.
Obama: "By your standards Nixon, McCain, etc. is a socialist too."
Me: Ok, so you're a socialist.
BTW, I do not recall Reagan ever campaigning for socialized medicine, and I am old enough to remember.
