I'm done dancing around playing nice. I'm done looking for the high road. I'm done with it. I'm done
In politics, whoever wins, wins. And whoever wins gets to make the rules. Nobody's gonna step in and say, "But wait, you lied! You cheated! That's not fair!"
Well, it's NOT fair. But these are the rules of the game and if you lose, you don't get to have say. Simple as that. Politics is a zero sum game. Complaining about how unfairly the winner played the game is useless.
For two days now I've been SEETHING (this is not an understatement) about the words and attitude of Representative Akin and the GOP. It's not that I didn;t already know that hate women. But something about this whole episode has gotten under my skin in a way that I can't articulate. I'm beyond angry. I'm seething with rage about it. And about the fact that this is what's happening OUT IN THE OPEN in the United States in 2012.
Well I'm done with it. Ladies, this is a war. Men, this is a war. Progressives, THIS IS A WAR. We will either win and survive or lose and god knows how many lives will be lost as a result.

7. Sorry but if we are the same as them we lose.
Harry Truman said I don't give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think it's hell. Where we fail is not in lying like the republicans do but rather in not having core principals and fighting for them. Harry also said that Given the choice between a Republican and someone who acts like a Republican, people will vote for the real Republican all the time No RINOs

13. You're right, we don't have to be the same though just tell the truth more

18. The colonists were called cowards for shooting from behind trees...
because the British had rules for fighting. They stood in straight lines, out in the open and fired at each other. When others don't play by your rules of engagement you better smarten up and evolve your way of thinking or loose the battle and the war...

35. Utter horse shit. So long as we are champions for social justice, the safety net,
livable wages, education, etc.--you know--the essential, basic planks of the Democratic Platform--we will NEVER be likethemAmericans. FIFY
Saying that using the same techniques as your mugger to prevail when you are mugged in a back alley is NOT to say that you are a mugger because you use those techniques.
Such a suggestion is beyond ABSURD.
DUmmy kpete, who lives a comfortable life in a gated San Diego neighborhood, is a useless, unpaid art dilettante. Her life of ease is due solely to skills she developed decades ago, through hard work, on her knees and flat on her back.
Nutcase nadin, kpete's San Diego neighbor, must be infuriated. All her stuff is original, but she couldn't get past the gate at the end of DUmmy kpete's street unless she was carrying a bucket full of mops and brooms.

....now how do you execute this war? You let no outrage go unchallenged. Some f***wit opens his (it's 99% sure bet that it is a 'his') f***ing pie holster and starts spouting off about the President in the middle of a public place for no good reason, confront him; use the words 'f***,' 'motherf***er,' and 'c**ksucker' in conjunction with Romney, Ryan, Boehner, Akins, etc in a not indoor voice; don't try to reason with him, embarass and belittle him and, trust me, they will back down from confrontation. I've done this on more than one occasion and not once has a single motherf***er had the f***ing gonads to ask me to step outside (and believe me, I sometimes wish they would). No you don't you whiney little *****.
Believe me, there are silent Democrats who will applaud you after shutting these shitstains down.
Forward. Backward
Look who shows up.
The right-seat rider on an airport turd-hearse.YA Ya, you're a real tough guy...not.
You're just being ignored by decent people, that's all.
Perhaps next time, pop off with your crap to someone under the age of seventy, tough guy.
What a slimey little piece of shit. :bird:
I guess they don`t grasp that no matter what,the election comes down to the record of O.
Sadly that may not be enough to get him out. Too many people want their freebies. :banghead:
Just get them all weed the day before the election and tell them they have to smoke all of it... they will be too baked/wasted/whatever to even wake up until after the polls close on election day. :)
For two days now I've been SEETHING (this is not an understatement) about the words and attitude of Representative Akin and the GOP.I am pretty sure the GOP is doing their best to disassociate themselves from Akin. But if they want to play that way I think we can manufacture some outrage because the actions of Kerry Gauthier in Minnesota rest stops.
