Do you still have the audacity to hope?   
   

(I wonder if those words were meant to mean something.)

They were just words to get Lord Zero elected. They accomplished the job thanks to you fools.

1. Yes.
   
And yes. How soon we forget just how bad things were.

Yeah, we have forgotten how bad it was under President Bush, because it's worse now.

5. Well in fairness we have gotten more than we got under Bush
   
and what we might have expected under McCain.

WTF have you gotten under Lord Zero? Bent over and told to grab your ankles?

23. If you let campaign propaganda rule your thought processes, you're going to be disappointed forever.
So why bother voting if campaigns are lies?

The Big LIE: We're living it NOW. 

No sarcasm smiley, your post has been forwarded to DHS as a threat to the president.

That's right. And so can the Stalinist judges he will appoint. This is why it is so important to support the party after
the primary, regardless your opinion of the nominee.

Rule by Fiat?  I didn't realize that that's why they seized Chrysler from its owners and turned it over to Fiat!  ;)

Hope is not a plan, unless you're a mentally retarded, window licking DUmmy.

Besides, if "hope" is your weapon against the VRWC, you fools have lost already.   :lmao:   :loser:

29. How about if I let the action of people in power rule my thought processes about whether to support them or not? For example, if I am led to believe there will be significant health care reform for a full year and we wind up having the most significant aspect of health care reform exploded by a single disgruntled asshole from CT, does that not entitle me to wonder why the president is acting like such a wimp?

This is why Buttworm was so easy to slap around when he was at CU.

Hey Buttworm, Lieberman's just the front man to get kooks like you to focus their anger away from those who are really to blame, a group which includes your lord and savior Dear Leader.  But as a follower of a cult, you aren't allowed to permit yourself to see it.

0 was supposed to be part Will Smith, battling aliens GOPers and possessing super powers. part Morgan Freeman, kindly, but wise, intelligent and an authority figure we could all look up to and finally able to heal us all as Michael Clarke Duncan did in The Green Mile.

Instead we got Urkel without the talent or experience.
