An open letter to all of our lurking Republicans Updated at 5:53 PM
Dear Republicans,
It has been really interesting to watch these past few months as your party is suddenly very concerned about bi-partisanship. After eight long years of listening to you scream at us with your “you are either with us or you are with the terrorists†rhetoric you suddenly are acting as if you want to play nicely with us. You complain that Obama is not willing to reach across the aisle to you because the fact that he just gave you one of the largest tax cuts in American history is just not enough as far as you are concerned. You want more, and you stomp your feet insisting that we aren’t willing to listen to your ideas and give you what you want.
Well here is the problem, we have listened to your ideas for the past eight years. Not only have we listened to your ideas, but we have had to endure the consequences of your ideas. You told us that tax cuts for the rich and doing away with regulations on corporations would spur economic growth, but instead of spurring that growth you insisted was going to happen your policies lead us to the brink of another Great Depression.
Of course you will all insist that you are not responsible for George Bush’s actions, the fact that you cheered everything he did and questioned the patriotism of all his critics is suddenly supposed to be irrelevant. We are supposed to ignore the fact that virtually every Republican member of Congress voted the way George Bush wanted them to vote over 90% of the time and pretend that you were always as critical of Bush as you are now that the public has figured out what your policies have done to this nation. That is right, your policies. George Bush would have never made it to the oval office if it had not been for your enthusiastic support for him and the agenda he wanted to push forward, his policies would have never been implemented had you not cheered them on and therefore his policies are your policies and you can not escape that simple fact.
Don’t tell us about the “new faces of the GOP†because there is nothing new about what you are offering us. Your solution is tax cuts for the rich despite the fact that your previous tax cuts for the rich not only failed to stimulate the economy, but instead brought this nation further in to debt and placed it on the edge of economic collapse. This failed “solution†is the only solution you are offering, and yet you scream at us about bipartisanship because we don’t want to see your idea fail yet another time.
Whether it is the economy, health care, national security, or any of the other issues facing our nation the Bush policies that you have enthusiastically supported have all proven to be failures. Despite your so-called “war on terrorism†there is more violence in this world than at any other time in decades. The Middle East is in flames, and the only thing you have to say is “well there hasn’t been a terrorist attack since 9/11â€. Of course there have been a few terrorist attacks since 9/11, but you don’t like to count abortion clinic bombings so you just conveniently ignore them. Now you will say that you are referring to international terrorism and you will brag about how Bush got through his past seven years without seeing yet another terrorist attack, but you will ignore the fact that terrorist attacks were not exactly common before Bush took office. When the best argument you can come up with is “Hey we may have seen the biggest terrorist attack in our nation’s history under our watch, but at least we didn’t get hit after that†then it is a sign that you really do know that your party did not accomplish anything of value during the past eight years you were in power.
But now you insist we should listen to your ideas. Well I have listened to your ideas, we have all listened to your ideas and we have all seen the consequences of those ideas. We have all seen our friends and family have to go through foreclosure, we have all seen people we know being sent off to war, we have all being worrying about whether our jobs will be part of the next set of layoffs because your party put Wall Street investors above ordinary citizens. We know what your ideas have done, and we are not going to seriously consider adopting your ideas ever again. You had your chance and you blew it, your ideas got us into this mess and there is no way in hell that we are going to use your ideas to get us out.
Sincerely,
A Citizen

As there is no chance of responding to this over there I thought it only "fair" that it be brought over.

Oh, I get it. Bjorn mistakenly believes there are people out in cyberspace who care what he thinks.
I love it when the dummies are so self-delusional that they think an "open" letter to a person or a group is actually going to make any difference. I've never seen a closed letter from them - why is that?
:rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

Well Bjorn,your letter is posted here and unlike the DUmp you are more then welcome to sign up and try to argue your positions here.
Got the sack to do it?

They only post these silly letters when they want adulation from the circlejerk. They're just too inane and pointless to be worth responding too. Yet the dummies think they have reached their intellectual and literary peak by posting them

An open letter to all of our lurking Republicans
Dear Republicans,

Concerned about bi-partisanship? Nope, haven't noticed the R's being concerned about it. I've seen a few who've pointed out that B. Hussein claimed he wanted bi-partisanship as a reminder to the public what a liar he is, but I'm not aware of anyone who wanted bi-partisanship, except for B. Hussein who wanted to use it as cover for his stupid policies for when they eventually fall apart.
Here's a little hint for you, Bjorn Against primitive; if you wish to address an open letter, you've got to a least make your opening statement one that doesn't fall apart immediately.

Truth shall be no barrier when a DUmbass needs to feel big.

All those words in such neat little paragraphs and not a damn thing worth reading in any of it.

I didn't read it, of course.
It still baffles me how the Little Goons think they can have an "open letter" in a closed forum. A letter is meant to be answered. That ain't happenin' at Little Goons Isolated Island.

Let's compromise and do things my way.

I dunno.
I'm a nice guy, one of the nicest guys one can hope to meet.
But if I ever ran into this primitive in real life, I wouldn't even give him the time of the day; it wouldn't be worth the depreciation on the eyeballs and the wristwatch.

Coach, I meant his screed. Whoops! :o

Bjorn,
Well I got through the first 2 sentences. I don't need to read the whole thing because I know exactly what it says. It's another of those long-winded screeds you guys write when you want to sound all intellectual like and get a pat on the back from your fellow DUmmies. If you were really interested in communicating with Republicans you'd come to one of the websites where they hang out (like the open invitation that's been issued here). But, like most DUmmies you're probably too big of a ***** for that.
Oh, and for the record, I don't want bi-partisanship. Obama's trying to get Republicans to sign on to his "stimulus" to give himself cover. Thankfully, MOST are smart enough to "just say no" to borrow a phrase from a brilliant and elegant lady. YOU own all this debt. You can't blame it on the Republicans because WE didn't participate in this fiasco (well except for some northeastern Republicans and they don't count). YOUR guy and his sycophants in the congress are racking up more debt than we ever thought possible. Frankly, I'm looking forward to watching you guys go down. The peanut farmer gave us Reagan. I can't wait to see who Obama gives us. I didn't think it was possible to have a worse president than Carter, but as usual you guys managed to find one.

Aren't they cute when they think they have a say in something?
We should pat their little heads!

Open letters like this are an obvious attempt to keep their dilusional rheteric up. As well as a means to keep trying to cram down the throats of America what they WISH reality is, not what it really is. Most republicans couldn't care less about bi-partisanship. They didn't before and they don't know. True conservatives know that there is no such thing. Fundamentally conservatives are financially for the citizen and Dems are for the Govt. So there is NO way of compromise. So that is just an example of how blindly they follow their leader into thinking that what he says conservatives and republicans want.
As for the rest, well, it is just more of the same. This is a very poor attempt at A. getting accolades from fellow koolaid drinkers over there, B. wanting to just spout off thinking you sound intelligent when in reality you only sound like a poorly written article in the New York Times, C. Thinking that you have a clue at what true politics is about when you really have no understanding about the ideology of your own party let alone the conservative republican party, D. wanting to appear as if you actually have something important or original to say that would actually make any republican do anything more than laugh in your face and walk away shaking their head.
Seriously, some people need to not try so hard...it only makes them look like the lemming they truly are.
Next.... :mental:

Well DUmmie Bkorn,
I rarely waste my time reading your ridiculous little mind masturbations, but I did skim over it and will give you two very simple rebuttals
1.) The Economy. Take a lok at where unemployment, the Dow and gas prices were prior to the Dems taking over in Nov. 2006 and then get back to me.
2. Terror attacks against U.S. targets. Hint: Google is your friend.
Please don't waste anybody else's time with your garbage until you get an education in the real world.

PISS OFF Bjorn
Yeah, that works for me too. :-)

"Cute" only in the same sense a little baby mouse is cute when drowned.

I could've sworn it was McCain's bi-partisanship--both past and future promised--that cost him the election.
Bjorn must be imagining things. We don't want bi-partisanship we want Obama to stop doing it his way.
