Is anyone else tired of the Pollyanna routine?

I sure as hell am...
So much for everyone that blew excuses from their asses about how Obama shouldn't go to Wisconsin - how it was a local issue and that the local Dems can do just fine, thank you.
Well done. Well done to you, and to Obama.
Barrett did worse this round than he did before. How is that worth praise?
Repuke Govs around the country will be eager to copy Walker's tactics. Thank you!
Your "ground game" was weak, your candidate was sleepwalking, and you blew the biggest ****ing chance this country had to slap corporate money to the ground. People power? Really? You have no idea what we ALL lost because YOU all took a knife to a gunfight. A plastic picnic knife.
What power do your people have now? Yet so many here want to give each other a high five for trying so hard.
**** that. **** that. **** THAT.
We are in a war, people. Guns have not yet been pulled, and lives have not lost, but today brought us a giant step closer to having such a violent path stand as the only remaining endgame in the struggle to preserve democracy.
I am more convinced than ever that the folks at DU who make excuses for Obama, who can never see any wrong in his actions regardless of how completely he abandons you, are nothing less than political Pollyannas - and should remain silent henceforth.
Or not, go ahead and talk all you damn well want. Free country, for now.
But your words have lost whatever measure of validity they once held, so don't expect anyone outside of the echo chamber to listen.
Never again.

11. I like Obama just fine
Handsome dude, great smile, class act, and clearly a gentleman and a scholar. I wish I knew him personally.
But he is no longer the candidate he represented himself to be in 2008, if he ever was that candidate to begin with.
Do you believe that unions are the backbone of the middle class? Do you believe that our economic and social strengths were built on their sacrifices? Do you believe that the destruction of Unions in this country is a death blow to the Democratic party?
I do.
Does Obama?
Oh wait...he twittered you all some hope. I thought he might put on his walking shoes and hit the ground with your state, but he must have meant something else, right?
Right?

36. But you want him to put on his flying cape right?
By all means blame him. Don't blame the billionaires who flooded Wisconsin with millions or the Republican legislature who decimated the unions with their laws or who redrew the districts or who cut every program they could in Walker's one year and a half as governor. Don't blame the media who conveniently had other things to do rather than investigate the lies and who turned a blind eye to the corruption going on.
If you think he could fix that you're really deluded. It's obvious today that the fix was already in as soon as the money started flowing in. If you want to come away with a real lesson, then get real with your expectations and look at the facts. Obama isn't some super hero who is letting us down. He's not perfect no matter how much any of us would like that.
Contrast this with every other policy fight where Obama is stymied.
In all those topics it's always, "Why won't thye fight harder?!?!?!"
Not this time.
Obama is gravely--perhaps not mortally--but gravely wounded for the GE.
They know it.

2. Actually, I've recently adopted a new political philosophy
called fatalism. You won't see any Pollyanna coming from me. I think this country is headed for out and out facsism.

24. Or a brawl
if anyone has the intestinal fortitude to fight the fascists.
I've lost my son, my wife, my home, my job, and my god damned car. What are the gonna take if I fight? My birthday?
Being fatalistic can be liberating, I encourage you to give up on giving a shit. People with nothing to lose are quite valuable.

14. I have no desire to improve things here
that's been your job. Congrats, and well done.
My goal is to stir up the shit you don't want to touch, because SOMEONE has to do it. Someone has to get dirty, because it's a dirty damned game.
But keep on playing it your way...it has worked so well for everyone, who am I to stop you?

16. You're not 'stirring shit up,' though
You're screaming and blowing snot bubbles about how pissed you are that Obama is still president. Your contributions are pretty minimal; hell, there are other posters who are doing the anti-Obama frothing far better than you, even.
Now. Answer the ****ing question, oh agitator-of-dung, what are your recommendations?

So long as you enjoy yourself. I'm sure it will continue to be very effective at achieving tangible results for you.

21. No, just purposefully disrespectful to you
what now?

22. You assume that disrespect from you...
Matters to a man wearing a My Little Pony avatar.

If he were a soldier I'd have him sent for eval. Once people start isolating their peer group and backing away from their moral principles they tend to spin out rather quickly.

Handsome? I guess.
Great smile? Looks more like a smirk.
Gentleman? A Chicago thug is more like it.
Scholar? Have you seen his college transcripts or articles he wrote for the Harvard Law Review? No? No one else has either.

OH NOES, that sounds even more awfuller than the terrifying 'Facism' they are always posting about!!!111!!!
And demwing - there won't be any violence or lives lost as long as you comply with the relocation order. Pack warm clothing, the 'Re-education' labor camps tend to be in places like Michigan's UP or Alaska.

Hey, shithead, did you have to worry about crap like that when Bush was President? I thought your boy wonder was supposed to end all of this misery back in January 09, what happened? Maybe you should think a little harder about who has increased your misery before you shoot your mouth off.
Additionally, maybe you should shut your mouth before law enforcement decides to ****-start your head. Stupid shit like this will get you a visit from the men wearing the shiny stars on their shirts.

He was never the candidate he represented himself to be... or more honestly what the media represented him to be. I flat out thought it was hilarious when the media was portraying him as the liberal Ronald Reagan. And like the lemmings you libbie idiots are you believed them. We tried to tell you, but noooooooo!!! We were evil fundie rethugs!!!!

If Obumbles is re-elected, I fear you are correct.

Sorry about your drug/booze addiction. Gotta hit rock bottom first before you can overcome it. Or you can just off yourself. Either way, don't matter to me, loser. :loser: :loser:

This is the problem right here, I even said this back in 08, it's sad that people relied upon Obama to bring out their hope when in reality everyone has hope inside them and it's up to them to bring it out in themselves.

You know what to do dimwit primitive. Just end it.

I just got a couple hundred single edge razor blades from Harbor Freight that i will gladly send out to any of the DUchebags with proper instructions and a map to the nearest interstate freeway.

One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to
take my nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old
burned-out warehouse. "Oh no," I said, "Disneyland burned down." He
cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a
pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland,
but it was getting pretty late.~Jack Handy

If you get invited to your first orgy, don't just show up nude. That's a common mistake. You have to let nudity "happen."

Quite right.
It's simple, easy, something even a DUmmie can do, and requires no government handouts.
You can even stick the landlord/owner/"the man" with the bill for the cleanup as a final "**** YOU", or do it in the woods somewhere, and let Gaia handle it, (although that spot may be declared a toxic waste site by the EPA).

If DUmmies are going to kill themselves, then they should do it in such a way as to make a statement....make a big splash ...jump from 50+ floors up a tall building.

Handsome? I guess.
A buddy of mine had me rolling the other night. Said he looked like a black Howdy Doody without the freckles.

Or they might try the Michelle Obama Diet. I mean what she recommends, not what the bowling pin actually scarfs up. That'll kill 'em fast.

Jack Handey "Deep Thoughts"
"We tend to scoff at the beliefs of the ancients. But we can't scoff at them personally, to their faces, and this is what annoys me."
"If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason."
"Better not take a dog on the space shuttle, because if he sticks his head out when you're coming home his face might burn up."
"The memories of my family outings are still a source of strength to me. I remember we'd all pile into the car - I forget what kind it was - and drive and drive. I'm not sure where we'd go, but I think there were some trees there. The smell of something was strong in the air as we played whatever sport we played. I remember a bigger, older guy we called "Dad." We'd eat some stuff, or not, and then I think we went home. I guess some things never leave you."
"I can't stand cheap people. It makes me real mad when someone says something like, "Hey, when are you going to pay me that $100 you owe me?" or "Do you have that $50 you borrowed?" Man, quit being so cheap!"

"It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man."
"If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."
"Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he's carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he's carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you're drunk."
Remember when SNL was funny? :p

Is Jack Handey by any chance related to Solomon Short? (Don't get the SNL reference, nj.)
All those who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand.
The real question is this -- what do you do with a skinned cat?
Cats aren't just snobs, they're Republicans. Dogs of course, are Democrats. They'll lick anyone's butt. [apologies to dog people]
The difference between contribution and commitment? Ham and eggs requires a CONTRIBUTION from the chicken, but a COMMITMENT from the pig.
You can't kick a congressman in the ass. At least not until you get the lobbyist's head out of the way.
The difference between politics and chemistry is that nobody fools around in a chem lab.
The difference between the universe and stupidity is that the universe is finite.
The difference between a dog and a human being is that when a dog is unconscious, he lies down.
The only thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history.
You, have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted and used against you.
Yes, you can get pregnant from anal intercourse. Where do you think lawyers come from?
If there was a reliable way by which people could accurately identify which seven out of ten lawyers were consistently unscrupulous, the other three would be out of work.
I've always found verbs to be very strong-willed. They go where they want to, not where you tell them. Adjectives, however, are a fussy lot, exttravagant, serendipitous, spoiled, upsetting, frivolous and remarkably sensitive to adverbs. Nouns pretend to be objective, and pronouns take everything personally.
Life is not about being comfortable. You want comfort? Try a grave. Nobody ever complained that his grave was uncomfortable.
Lack of respect has to be earned.
Maturity is the polite word for exhaustion.
Everyone has the right to be stupid. Some people abuse the privilege.
A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.
A quote is what you use when you don't have anything of your own to say.
