That sounds like something that a Tea Party troll would say. Recall the last year of the Bush administration? Are those the good old days that you wish to see return?

I still don't get why Larry feels the need to trash Newt. It seems like trollish behavior. Whatever

Larry's adopted a new tack: Instead of the melodramatic martyrdom of a year ago (I'm leaving, I'm out of here, no, I really mean it, I'm leaving!) when a few called him on his nonsense, we now have Tea Party trollery manifested in the production of insipid commentary intended to rankle those who don't fall in line with certain bigoted views.

Can't wait for Larry 3.0...

Yes, the last year of the Bush administration was indeed bad news. The results of Dodd/Frank came home to roost. That was the beginning of the end. GW fell for the TARP, and then BO took us much deeper into new low's, or high's if you would rather measure it in National Debt terms.

I don't see Politico leaning any which way but loose, ever since their endorsement of President Bush years ago. I enjoy reading you tell Larry he's brainwashed and basically implying ignorance to the 'truth', when you yourself take the stance of every lefty I have the so 'gracious opportunity' to converse with in Connecticut.

Don't worry Larry, we're just too simple and ignorant to see that the left wing knows whats best for us common folk. Maybe I should emulate our current President and play a round of golf in between classes and conferences. Or lend money to companies that go belly up all over the place. Or force emissions regulations that no one wants to adhere to except So Cal. Buy out an awful auto union to produce more cars no one 'wants'.

As to our ravenous appetite for power, I don't recall President Bush entering a conflict without Congressional approval or throwing fliff around like a sultan. I also only recall the slaying of one dictator under Bush's regime, and two down thus far in the Obama Presidency.
So... who's the war monger?

I don't get why anyone follows the leader boards regarding who's on top in the public vote for the Republicans. While Romney isn't the furthest right candidate we've got, he's well moderate enough to succeed appealing to ALL constituents. Plus, it's the RNCs final decision anyways. Cain is obviously a no go-- he has less foreign policy education than Obama. Gingrich is an easy kill skeleton wise, but I would thoroughly enjoy watching him mop the floor with Obama in a debate. I can hear him stutter like Dubya now.
Ah, who can argue with the voice of years of experience, watching political campaigns, personally living through various administrations, choosing and voting for presidents. How many was it again?

Four, if you count lame duck periods :D

I speak not from experience or political background. I stick by whichever policies can make America's GDP positive over debt. It just so happens that this makes me bow right.

Don't waste your breath snake. Common sense and the power of observation is something that many are incapable of understanding.

I've lived during 12 Presidential Administrations and voted in ten Presidential races, but experience means nothing in the minds of rank beginners. In your case, you're just a quick study.

You mean facts like all of the things considered to be bad by the left, that would NOT have taken place had Slick Willy had enough character to not commit adultery and purjory?

When writing the above paragraph something popped in my head. I remember very well in a debate between George HW Bush and Clinton. George pointed to Bill Clinton and pointed out that "this man has no character." Well Slick proved GHW correct!

tjts1 11-16-2011 01:08 PM
Call me when Larry is done trying to pull another character assassination on Newt. Some people have no moral compass. How do you face yourself in the mirror?

Come on TBO! You are WAY smarter than this. Did you read all the posts that led up to this?

IF, and it's a big if, the FBI did indeed drop the ball on Al Qaeda because they were chasing Lewinski's dress, and Slick had not committed adultery with her, then why in the world would they have been chasing the dress? Please don't tell me you can't understand this!

Funny how you edited out Larry's question mark and inserted a period, thus changing his question of equivalence to a statement of fact AND attributing it to him. Do you think that is fair?

Air&Road 11-16-2011 01:19 PM
Okay, it's time for me to be fair to PaulC.

I THINK that I noticed the mistake of not putting a question mark at the end of that sentence, went and corrected it, and at about the same time he made the quote.

I write in haste and revise in liesure. The liesure time often comes after I have submitted the post.

My bad and I apologize.

Yes, I would like to see those years back due to the great things done during that period by the REPUBLICAN congress of the time. Slick was in a great position to take credit for them and I've never seen him turn down an opportunity to take credit for anything.

I will give Slick credit, however, for moving to the center after his first few years once he had a Republican congress. Had he not, he would have been a one term President.

Yes, I understand your chain of events all leading back to Bill Clinton being a bad person. However, you are not separating facts from speculation. Someone mentioned it in this thread ("I read somewhere..."), certainly does not bring it out of that realm. My comment about facts, common-sense, and logic was off-the-cuff if you will, not necessarily related to this specific instance.

TBO! Stay with me here! You have always shown extreme intelligence until your inability to keep up in this thread.

Pooka 11-16-2011 02:20 PM
I don't think we will have to wait for anyone to trash Newt. It looks like Newt started doing this today.

With all the attention being paid to 'Washington Outsiders', and some Republicans claiming that is who they want, Newt proclaimed today that he is the ultimate Washington Insider and that only he knows what is necessary to change the way things are done in DC.

He was addressing this point while defending his fee of $1,600,000 for 'historical advice' he gave to Freddie Mac that folks at Freddie Mac are saying he never provided. They thought they were hiring someone to lobby Republicans for them; someone who could convince Republicans to not look at them with too close an eye.

But since Newt is not registered as a Lobbyist he cannot act as one. So if Newt is correct he was paid for giving historical background to Freddie. If the execs are right it appears Newt has committed a felony.

I am sure this will all be sorted out in the future.

Its not an inability to keep up, its me leaving the thread mostly alone because I don't really have any reason to trash Newt. My objections are in policy and policy alone - on the whole, I couldn't give a rats ass about what these guys do in their sexual endeavors as long as they prove good leaders. If anything, the power-hungry personalities often contribute to their infidelity. I couldn't care less what their high school grades were, who their past girlfriends were, and who may have had class with them in college. Its all simply a diversion from the true policy discussions going on (or rather, not going on). Case in point, I'd vote "slick willy" into office without much hesitation. Newt is a pretty smart guy, I'd like to see him and Obama in a debate. As far as intelligence goes, I highly doubt such a large portion of our intelligence forces were diverted to "chasing down the dress" so to speak. I would truly like to see FACTS regarding this rather than speculation. Actually IIRC we had OBL in our gun sights at one point and a military commander called it off last minute (would have been a PR nightmare).

And yes, if Bill had kept his pants zipped up, he would not have been able to have sex with anyone. The issue was blown out of proportion by media and the GOP trying to oust him. He shouldn't have lied on the stand though, I don't think anyone is arguing that point. IMO if he just admitted it, it would have been swept under the carpet a LOT sooner (obviously GOP would cling to it if they had any sense though).

Air&Road 11-16-2011 02:32 PM
All well put!

Yes, Slick and Tricky Dick both learned that the hard way. Fortunately for Slick, the morality of the US had gone through such drastic decay in those 18 years or whatever it was, that it was much easier for Slick.

The GOP didn't allow anything they had on Clinton to be swept under the rug. They began pursuing him before he even took office. Ken Starr had been investigating him for 3-1/2 years before he ever heard of Monica Lewinsky. The GOP's conduct was a disgrace.

Something they seem to do quite well.

M. Bachmann just started trashing Newt for 'Shilling' for Freddie Mac.

She said a lot of ugly things about him which I am sure you can find on line if you are really interested in her opinions.

Not so much. I'm very disappointed in the current crop of Republican presidential candidates. I'll most likely caucus for Ron Paul, even though I think he's gotten wackier since the last time he ran.

Pooka 11-17-2011 11:38 AM
More Newt trashing....

Jack Abramoff is now saying terrible things about Newt. A quick online search should turn up his comments and a bit of history on Jack and what he is currently up to.

So far I can't find any Democrats trashing Newt, but then, with the other Republicans doing such a good job of it do they really need to?

JollyRoger 11-17-2011 11:41 AM
Newt has touched the third rail of Right Wing Nut Jobbery: Freddie and Fannie. Either he's toast or they are going to be eating a lot of crow.

Don't go by me, but I would think that the best strategy is to wait to see whether Newt rises further in the polls before unloading on him. He has such a long and f-ed up record, I have little doubt that the Dems can blow him out of the water, but they should wait at least until GOP voters get invested in him. Seems like that would take some more wind out of their sails.

I have no idea what I'm talking about on this stuff, but that's the way I see it.

PaulC.... I am 54. As for Obama and his cronies, what about the racism and name calling his political cronies are doing to the Reps. Remember, that Obama has visited 57 states, maybe he is also counting Kenya and Indonesia.
Memorial Day he welcomed the dead heroes that he saw in the crowd. How about the mentioning of Marine "Corpse Men" that he repeated several times. What gives all of you the right to bash Newt? As for Freddie & Frannie; hey, they hired him and his firm. Good or bad, How's Freddie & Frannie working out with our money?

I was never Larry Bible on here. I was LarryBible then as now. edit: They removed my profile about 10 months ago at my request. When I came back my old threads still existed under guest.

After reading this thread I was surprised to see that at least one of my threads as guest is gone. It had a sticky at the top of Diesel Discussion but is now gone.

I suppose my technical contributions were determined to be worthless, or maybe the new management took some measures regarding them. Maybe they're trying to tell me something. At any rate, I am not the one that did away with them.

Pooka 11-18-2011 03:54 PM
How did thread become about Larry? Did I miss something?

I mean, if we are through trashing Newt, which, in my opinion, never gets old, then are we supposed to....what; start trashing Larry?

We could always start trashing my sentence structures.

I'm still confused. Larry likes Newt Gingrich? Larry dislikes Newt Gingrich?

Larry: you still haven't explained how Vietnam was a threat to the United States, from about 195o, when we started to fund the French, til about 1975, when Saigon "fell". Having been alive from 1962 onwards, I don't recall any Vietnamese invading the country. Is there something i missed? Or, was Ho Chi Minh really just a nationalist, trying to remove invaders from his country? One is reminded, that, in the late 1970's "red China" invaded Vietnam; the Vietnamese eventually fought back and removed the Chinese. hardly the act of a submissive "domino" of "communist" imperialism, no?

It is tragic, isn't it, the way the Bush presidency was derailed at the last minute by nefarious democrats. He was so close to immortality.
