The large-proboscised primitive, the one who locked up his cat without any sanitary facilities, and got all upset and bent out of shape when the poor cat did a number one on him.

What’s wrong with America?
Why is George W. Bush still occupying the White House?
Why are Bush and Cheney still walking around free?
Why does anyone still consider the Republican Party a respectable entity?
Why are we aware of how our democracy has been trampled and still doing nothing?
And who would have believed that these questions would even have to be asked?
Many have said, “This is not the America I know.†So the question I ask myself every day is “Why am I/you not doing anything about it?†Yeah, I know, the police and military will stop us. Even so, other countries have refused to put up with this shit. Why are we putting up with it? What's wrong with America? What's wrong with us?
Oh my.
That last question begs an answer, but the internet isn't large enough to hold descriptions of what's wrong with the primitives on Skins's island.
The bobbling primitive, always in pursuit of free housing:

3. I see what's right with America ... we're about to flip the page and get some sh*t done for the people. It won't be overnight, but lordy it won't be at our expense either.

28. I really hope you are right
I have certainly had enough shit, and I believe things will be different if not overwhelmingly better with Democrats in power.

29. "things will be different if not overwhelmingly better with Democrats in power"
Why? It wasn't in the '60s, when the Dems *owned* the government. All we got was bandaids.

38. You are wrong. The difference is the DIFFERENCE now. Nixon was a saint compared to Bush.
And also to McCain, as he will be a clueless Reaganesque figurehead and the whole thing will be run by the Bushies out of the basement, as it was during the last half of Reagan's term.
Compared to what McSameasBush has in store for us, a few bandaids seem like blissful paradise, indeed.

40. So? LBJ was a saint compared to Clinton. So why would you suppose we'll get something better than Clinton rather than something worse?

41. A saint that got 38,000 Americans and several million Vietnames killed in an unnecessary war based on lies. Some definition of sainthood.

43. You beat me to it. Not the same analogy by a long site.
LBJ was a saint compared to Bushler, because at least he tried to do quite a bit of good (Civil Rights Act, student loans, Great Society, etc) and succeeded in most cases. Also, LBJ was not intent on destroying the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Tiny distinction there.
But throw in Vietnam and LBJ, still a saint compared to Bushler, though less of one, and Clinton was a saint compared to LBJ.

44. "Clinton was a saint compared to LBJ"
How short your memory is!
Whose policies killed at least a *HALF-MILLION* Iraqi kids and uncounted adults? Who ordered the bombing of the alShifa pharm plant in the Sudan, resulting in uncountable indirect deaths and shortened lives? Who sat around while crimes against humanity were committed against the Bosnian Muslims? Who pushed for corporate control of the world's trade and the evisceration of unions in the US, costing countless lives and suffering? Who presided over the shredding of the safety net, blighting who knows how many lives? Who increased the grip of the police state? Who's going to go down in history as a DINO?
It's a big bonfire, most primitives squibble-squabbling rather than answering Oscar Wilde's original question.

8. You mean to tell me that you didn't know about "Operation Lobotomy?"
Ever since the early fifties, the procedure has been performed on all duh'murikans at birth.
Isn't that obvious by what they consider "entertainment" and "news?"
Or "candidates" and "elections?"
DU has a small minority of people on which the operation was clearly not successful.
The rest are in GDP, thinking another corporate candidate will save them.
Is franksolich the only one here who thinks the begone primitive, like the dysgynaecological Kansas school teacher, might be helped with Lydia Pinkham's
Special Vegetable Compound for Female Complaints?
