Is the Hero tag broken? Don't you heathens know that St. Bush is protecting our freedoms from the Islamofacists?

Is 2007 over yet?

NewportBarGuy: Is the Hero tag broken? Don't you heathens know that St. Bush is protecting our freedoms from the Islamofacists?

He is effective and efficient. Just not at what you might want. Or me for that matter.

But but but, the Democrats said if they got voted in, they would stop all of this!

What happened to that backbone? Oh wait....

democrats figured out they need oil too and now they have to pretend they don't like their nutty constituents...

Democrats secured the biggest overhaul of ethics and lobbying rules since the Watergate scandal.

How many biggest ethical reforms since Watergate have we had since Watergate? There was one in the late 1980s and I think another in the late 1990s.

Some lame duck he turned out to be.

I_C_Weener: He is effective and efficient.

He is neither. Name just one thing that he has touched that hasn't turned to complete shiat.

The Democrats are spineless and the Republicans are vile.

How I long for a viable 3rd (and 4th, 5th, 6th, etc.) party.

If Bush is such a retard what does that make the Democrats?

I keep getting this image of Congress throwing baseballs at milk bottles. Or trying to find the red lady.

AntiNerd: He is neither. Name just one thing that he has touched that hasn't turned to complete shiat.

Defense contractor stock?

Nestea Plunge: Torches and pitchforks needed for irate mob.

Not unless the writer's strike lasts another month or so.

MFL: If Bush is such a retard what does that make the Democrats?

Republicans?

Wait, this is a trick question because being more stupid then bushco isn't possible.

MFL: If Bush is such a retard what does that make the Democrats?

Little biaches who get beat up by retards.

\still voting for the little biaches.

>> "From the first days to the last hours of the 110th Congress, Bush prevailed on every Iraq-related fight, from February's resolution opposing the surge and to this week's granting of $70 billion in unrestricted war funds."

And in about a year Bush will be totally powerless

nobozo: Is 2007 over yet?

It's only going to get worse as we get closer to election time.

Then we get a 6 month break.

And then the cycle for the 2012 election begins...

Corporate criminals...playing with tanks.

na na na nah na nah nah

MFL: If Bush is such a retard what does that make the Democrats?

Metal tacks can stop an 18 wheeler.

TheConvincingSavant: Some lame duck he turned out to be.

Shut up, TCS, you cock.

Hard to prevail against someone who has vowed to endanger the lives of soldiers rather than acknowledge his failures.

MFL: If Bush is such a retard what does that make the Democrats?

Spineless cowards, even if they do have a few IQ points on the Retard in Chief.

who is the bigger fool, the fool, or the fool that doesn't stop the fool?

MFL: If Bush is such a retard what does that make the Democrats American voters?

>> "From the first days to the last hours of the 110th Congress, Bush prevailed on every Iraq-related fight, from February's resolution opposing the surge and to this week's granting of $70 billion in unrestricted war funds."

How's your social security deform going there cons ?

Oh thats right.

100% DEAD

I propose a new official motto for the GOP:

"The Dems suck at holding us accountable for our misdeeds."

Headso: democrats figured out they need oil too and now they have to pretend they don't like their nutty constituents...

Purty much. They'd rather take the heat for this today then deal with some oil crisis when they're in power.

>> "From the first days to the last hours of the 110th Congress, Bush prevailed on every Iraq-related fight, from February's resolution opposing the surge and to this week's granting of $70 billion in unrestricted war funds."

How's your war in Iran going cons ?

Thats pretty much dead too.

A succinct and sound intellectual comeback.
Typical liberal tolerance of opposing ideas.

Mr_Fabulous I propose a new official motto for the GOP:

You could just shorten it to that. It would save some paper.

Remember to set your clocks for noon, 20 January 2009, when the United States leaps ahead to the 21st Century.

/With all the fundies running amok in the Bush Administration ...
//I'm not surprised they haven't revived witch burnings as yet.

It's weird. The democrats were elected to stop the war. The great majority of the country is opposed to the war. Yet the democrats pretty much soil themselves over republican clowns calling them weak on national security and cave to Bush on war issues.

That's a depressing headline to read, right before I try to start my Christmas shopping..

>>The Dems suck

Yeah they suck so bad.

It must really hurt them to be in the lead.

How's your war in Iran going cons?

Saber rattling.

It made them back down and stfu before (new window)

/thinks unilateral military action against Iran would be moronic, presently

A. I'm not a liberal. I'm an independent.

C. If you'd like to defend the Bush administration's malfeasance, now's your chance. Otherwise, enjoy a nice cup of STFU.

The Democrats are more worried about the election than what the American people want. They are using the Iraq war as a political football and it's disgusting.

AntiNerd: I_C_Weener: He is effective and efficient.

He is neither. Name just one thing that he has touched that hasn't turned to complete shiat.


Those two things (effective and efficient) vs. (everything he touched turned to shiat) aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.

So, today Bush is a shrewd, evil manipulator of Congress and legislation.
Don't worry. I'm sure you will all go back to believing he is just a dumb hick tomorrow. It's easier to feel a false sense of superiority and smugness that way.

How can the Democratic nominee win the presidency without showcasing a platform of "I'll bring the troops home!"?!

Expect more of the same until the election.

sambam: So, today Bush is a shrewd, evil manipulator of Congress and legislation.


No, he's definitely still an incompetent ass.

MFL: Mr_Fabulous I propose a new official motto for the GOP:

"The Dems suck at holding us accountable for our misdeeds."

You could just shorten it to that. It would save some paper.

But you do agree that it is their primary shortcoming, right? That is, they haven't done enough to stop the runaway trainwreck that is the Bush Administration. Yes?

Some senior Democrats have grown so distraught that they do not expect any significant change in Iraq policy unless a Democrat wins the White House in 2008. "It's unfortunate that we may have to wait till the elections," Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (Mass.) said yesterday.

This has left many Democrats resorting to openly political arguments, picking up a theme that Republicans hurled at them -- obstructionism -- during their many years in the minority. Sen. Charles E. Schumer (N.Y.) conceded that it is time for Democrats to forget about trumpeting accomplishments that voters will never give them credit for -- and time to change the message to a starkly political one: If you want change, elect more Democrats.

Answer's simple: Vote the Republicans out of office!

>> So, today Bush is a shrewd, evil manipulator of Congress and legislation.

Oh yeah he's so shrewd.

Shrewd to the point where he lost the house and the senate.

What a genius.

It's weird. The democrats were elected to stop the war. The great majority of the country is opposed to the war. Yet the democrats pretty much soil themselves over republican clowns calling them weak on national security and cave to Bush on war issues.

Mabey your great majority opposed to the war is not so great.

AirForceVet: Answer's simple: Vote the Republicans out of office!

Yup.

Shame I'm in Texas, where even freaking John Cornyn won.

/I'm betting/praying that the Democrats have a veto-proof majority in Congress and the White House after next fall.

MFL: Mabey your great majority opposed to the war is not so great.

I've heard this before from other spinners.

How can anyone possibly believe that after reviewing all the national polls about the war?

Is it grasping at any straw, no matter how slim, in order to hang onto your view of the world (i.e., indulging in wishful thinking)? That's all I can think of.

MFL: Mabey your great majority opposed to the war is not so great.

I've heard this before from other spinners.

So you're saying that despite the fact that they haven't ended the war, they are great?

Sense has not been made.

>> From the first days to the last hours of the 110th Congress, Bush prevailed on every Iraq-related fight, from February's resolution opposing the surge and to this week's granting of $70 billion in unrestricted war funds.

This is suppose to be surprising ?

The Dems don't have a veto proof majority.
