You cannot be serious. Do you know the ridicule I received from NewsMax types when I said that I thought Bush might take steps to not step down at the end of his second term? I gotta believe the "right wing" of today is just drinking fine scotch, typing up the most ridiculous trolls, and laughing all day long.

...wow, that's some weapons-grade wharrgarbl there.

That is one boatload of crazy right there.

I'm glad they're already giving up on 2012.

The stupid is strong with this one.

So... they are already writing off their own chances in 2012 ?

Unusually observant for them.

A guy at work was warning us of this very thing this morning. I think the same guy is also a member of the KKK or something like that.

Right wing whackos are a bunch of sniveling, mewling pussies.

the really sad thing is that so many people listen to and believe this douchebag

Unless, of course, NewsMax finds his Martian birth certificate before then.

The ideology is made from fear.

Someone has been saying this about every president since I can remember.

Same shiat we heard in 1988 and 2000.

President Obama will never actually consider that (much less actually go for it). However, if hypothetically he tried to pull this off, the wingnuts would be crowing in vindication until the dirt was shoveled onto the coffin, and rightfully so; hell, I know I would, if I was that nutty. Fortunately, none of this will come to pass.

damnitkage: the really sad thing is that so many people listen to and believe this douchebag

No, no I was assured in another thread that only about 1% of his listeners actually believe him. The rest know he is just an entertainer like Stephen Colbert. It is apparently all a big joke played on all of us stupid libs.

Unless we wind up under a president who literally makes history for prosperity, peace, etc., it's not even something to think about and even then, it still makes me a little suspect. It's just not something we should allow, no matter who it is.

Wow.

I believe there is a move on the 22nd amendment during every term.

Well there definitely is a plot against the 22nd. My Congressman, Barney Frank, has been in on it for some years now. First google hit on "barney frank 22nd amendment" is a bunch of DU nutjobs freaking out that Barney Frank was going to be complicit in installing King George as dictator-for-life.

I can't imagine this, unless he is being undetectably subtle in his humor. And if he is being that subtle, then I know that 99% of his audience couldn't possibly comprehend any of the humor.

Whamdangler: I gotta believe the "right wing" of today is just drinking fine scotch

I'm pretty sure that they are mostly chugging cough syrup.

Didn't Bill Clinton actually call for it's repeal years ago, while GWB was in office?

I actually do wish Bush had gotten another few terms by some means. There are a lot of people around who still need to experience that some more.

More like Prestone.

Whenever this is mentioned by wing-nuts that I still talk to, I don't argue. I only tell them that their fears are justified and that it's for the good of the country when / if it happens.

Seriously, how can you not have fun with stupid like this?

netweavr was trolling you and about 10 other people. We kept saying he was trolling, and people STILL believed him. He even admitted it at the end of the thread.

It would have been fun to see Bush get a crack at a third term. If you thought McCain's loss was bad, can you imagine if Obama had been up against Dubya in last year's election?

HAHAHAHAH! Shoe's on the other foot now, jockstraps.

Amazing.
Its like the idiots who where deathly afraid Bush would try to do it.

FTA: He inherited his father's Marxism.

I had no idea that we had found the Marxist gene already. Have they found the Socialist gene as well?

The Fourth Karamazov: netweavr was trolling you and about 10 other people. We kept saying he was trolling, and people STILL believed him. He even admitted it at the end of the thread.

Well shiat. In my defense, it is almost impossible to tell the difference anymore.

davidphogan: FTA: He inherited his father's Marxism.

I had no idea that we had found the Marxist gene already. Have they found the Socialist gene as well?

Hey, there's a Republican gene...



/sizzling like synapses

Dammit can we PLEASE kick the neoconservatives and Moral Conservatives to the curb. The GOP will gain 2 votes for every vote they loose by doing so.

Get rid of the moral issues and the Dems are going to be in for a world of hurt.

/That and the fact that the GOP can criticize well, but then abandons those principals once they get elected.

Crosshair: Get rid of the moral issues and the Dems are going to be in for a world of hurt.

sooooooo
you want the GOP to have a completely immoral platform
hmmmmmm
sex drugs and rock n roll

hell yes!!

Dumb, just dumb. It was dumb when people on the Left said "ZOMG BUSH is gonna suspend elections and rule past 2 two terms", and it's dumb when idiots on the Right do it as well.

I remember being made fun of by NewsMax for saying that Bush wasn't going to leave office in 2008. How times change.

The price of freedom is indeed eternal vigilance...but maybe you should actually wait for word that someone's actually proposing a Constitutional Amendment and then campaign against it.

And frankly, even if such an amendment was proposed and legally passed, the integrity of democracy is not significantly harmed, if at all. The integrity of democracy lies in transparent fair elections in which everyone can participate and all votes are counted. Anything else is fine tuning.

It is not hard to make the case that the electoral college and first-past-the-post voting systems do orders of magnitude more harm to the spirit of democracy than revoking the 22nd Amendment would.

Oh, and the reason people were watchful and suspicious of Bush's smooth departure was that his whole administration was characterized by violating the spirit and letter of the law and generally shiatting all over the constitution. It is hard to make that case against Obama.

But again, by all means, be vigilant.

Wikipedia article on the 22nd Amendment (link pops like an October Surprise)

it is very interesting
esp the whole, assumption that the GOP doesnt have a chance in hell of winning in 2012

that is a bit surprising

1) the midterms will show that obama is totally out of favor
2) but obama will so easily win in 2012 that we have to worry about 2016 already

cognitive dissonance shakes its tiny little paws at rush

Rush has been entertaining this idea on his show this last week, and I know I heard Hannity talking about it last week.

Apparently Obama's not giving them enough material (And they stretched his killing a fly out for nearly a week) so have just decided to make shiat up.

Apparently Rush has never heard of Snopes. Or at least he assumes none of his listeners have. (new window)

Wow, these guys are delusional.

Crosshair: Get rid of the moral issues and the Dems are going to be in for a world of hurt.

Yeah, cause they have fiscal conservatism to fall back on.

Sound exactly like what some idiots on the left were saying about Bush.

This is not a repeat from 1972.

Whamdangler: You cannot be serious. Do you know the ridicule I received from NewsMax types when I said that I thought Bush might take steps to not step down at the end of his second term? I gotta believe the "right wing" of today is just drinking fine scotch, typing up the most ridiculous trolls, and laughing all day long.

So I take it you were also drinking fine scotch, typing up the most ridiculous trolls, and laughing all day long?

GAT_00: I remember being made fun of by NewsMax for saying that Bush wasn't going to leave office in 2008. How times change.

NewsMax made fun of you for this?

ShawnDoc: so have just decided to make shiat up.

yeah, that is SO 2000-2008

Nicholas Urfe: Sound exactly like what some idiots on the left were saying about Bush.

Which was just as stupid, although at least the nuts who believed it about Bush actually waited until his second term.

bulldg4life: Crosshair: Get rid of the moral issues and the Dems are going to be in for a world of hurt.

Yeah, cause they have fiscal conservatism to fall back on.

If republicans actually legislated on the idea of fiscal conservatism, they would be a force to be reckoned with.

And if I exercised and ate healthy food, I'd lose weight.

/neither of this occurrences has happened yet.
//I'll get started tomorrow, Arby's has the 5 for $5!

YodaBlues: If republicans actually legislated on the idea of fiscal conservatism, they would be a force to be reckoned with.

why? We were solvent before 1980.

Republicans were never about fiscal conservatism. They were about tax cuts. Two totally separate and contradicting ideas.
