Who was it who said something along the lines of having more to fear from friends than enemies?

That said, don't get too proud about repubs saying stupid things. Joe Biden is still the VP ( currently under protective custody, I believe.) and Maxine Waters, and ......

Be careful playing that 'Your guy said something even dumber' card....

You guys got Palin and Bachmann.....

"There's nothing good about drug use. We know it. It destroys individuals. It destroys families. Drug use destroys societies. Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up.

"What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug use. Too many whites are getting away with drug sales. Too many whites are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we're not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too."

Rush? He's all theatrics and propaganda. And scumbag. Entertainment purposes only. If you look there for wisdom, oh wait, you did.

Pooka · #22 08-20-2012, 03:44 PM

I was struggling to understand the meaning of all of this, so of course I turned to Rush to do my thinking for me.

But he took the day off and there was a guest host. A 'Guest Host'? What is that? How can I make it through the day, walking a tightrope between losing even more advertisers or losing listeners?

I mean, just because Rush did.......

Pooka · #23 08-20-2012, 03:45 PM

And.....

Akin just announced he is staying in the race!

So now the only question is how long will it be before he quits due to 'family problems'?

Pooka · #24 08-20-2012, 03:48 PM

Being bored I decided to cruse a few right wing sites. They are all furious with this guy Akin.

They all agree with him, but they are furious he let people know where he really stands and why. I could not find one that called him less than an idiot, which I think is rather harsh.

I would just call him a Conservative.

In all reality I am not proud of Republicans saying dumb things. I am also not proud of Republicans for thinking dumb things and even less proud of Republicans that introduce into law dumb things.

I can remember when I disagreed with Republicans and Democrats over their policies; not because they were fools that thought they could run my life.

I can still remember a conversation I had with a Republican Senator who bragged to me that he would make me live by his rules, that he would make everyone live by his rules.

I told him good luck with that. I think this was in 1985, so I am glad to see the Republicans are still trying to live up to his high standards.

Pooka, I am guessing this is old news to you but, here, the latest shame of our state.

But in the end I really don't think this is matter to most Republicans. As one of them told me last night: It is more important to make Libs upset than it is to run the country correctly.

And who can argue with logic like that?

I had a dipshidiot tell me something idiotic last night and I'm sure somehow I could put them in a group- so now I can disagree with all of that groups views. I can also say with certainty that all members of the group feel exactly the same as that person. ???

We'd have to define "can" in order to start a valid conversation.

Many republican views are silly. Many democratic views are silly. I think the nation and society is better off with a combination leaning slightly right of center with many libertarian stances mixed in. The only perfect candidate is yourself.

And yes, there are a lot of stupid people out there that say stupid thing. But I have been hearing this comment over and over for the last two years, so it is not something Conservatives have just come up with. It is just a way to justify not thinking for themselves and not having to deal with the far right wing of their party.

One of the Founding Fathers put it much better than I can: Arguing with one who has abandoned logic is like giving medicine to the dead.

Conservatives are the ones who have let these people get out of control. If you are ashamed of their views you should say so and not try to defend them.

GOP Senate candidate says he ‘misspoke’ with ‘legitimate rape’ comment

Fools like that (and the Teabags) helped make my decision to leave the GOP.

I volunteered for them as a youte (as Rush says) and was on their payroll for a few years while working in DC. CYA GOP, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out of my life.

Heheee.....
