Gary I can see, he's blatantly obvious about it and tries to be funny. It's Narrowmind I can't stand to see quoted.

Ever read Gardener's Grendel? I think it's a lot like that psychology. Sure, some people could ignore the trolls, but then the mead hall isn't very exciting anymore -- as long as we assume farkers are no better than soulless trolls and 3rd century drunken illiterates.

Holy cow, I didn't know that was an option, thank you VERY much for mentioning that. I can now participate on the politics tab and only become *slightly* dumber now :)

pizen: serpent_sky: If they hadn't been gigantic babies who refused to compromise on anything when the debt ceiling issue came up, they wouldn't be in this situation, so I have a really hard time feeling remotely sorry for them.

^ so much this

Isn't it obvious? He wants to take a gigantic dump and then use the Constitution to wipe the shiat off his negro-Marxist ass.

i'll tell you what man dang ol' tea party man buncha ol' rednecks 'cept they ain't smart rednecks like Hank man goin' to Washinton actin' like Yankees man cain't act like adults got no class man no class.

Can't say that I disagree much with the baggers on this particular piece of nonsense, but this committee wouldn't exist if not for them.

Also:

That helps explain some of the pressure that has fallen on the 12 supercommittee members, who must devise a plan that is acceptable to their opponents but not seen as a capitulation or betrayal by their allies.

Shouldn't they be under pressure to find a workable plan that addresses the problem? These people are like cartoonish samurai in their obsession with face saving.

There's no point in listening to them anymore. They'll never work with anyone but themselves and at this point they're actively trying to destroy the US's credit rating.

Then there's that lovely Tea Party call for businesses to stop hiring people just to spite Obama (new window).

Yes we get it, taxes are evil, Obama's a Kenyan, yadda yadda yadda. You're not dictators, there are other opinions than yours.

serpent_sky: If they hadn't been gigantic babies who refused to compromise on anything when the debt ceiling issue came up, they wouldn't be in this situation, so I have a really hard time feeling remotely sorry for them.

The word "compromise" isn't in the Teabagger dictionary.

CorporatePerson: Yes we get it, taxes are evil, Obama's a Kenyan, yadda yadda yadda. You're not dictators, there are other opinions than yours.

This comes to the crux of conservative "thought". The belief that everyone agrees with them except for some ever-shifting (but clearly irrelevant) minority of [insert pejoratives here]. "Taking back America." "The Moral Majority." Anything that disagrees with them is clearly oppressing them because their beliefs are clearly correct and the "real" beliefs of the country at large.

GaryPDX: Oh man, we're just getting started. We got 12 wonderful months of whargarble royale before the election/ That last couple of months is going to be fun. Bring lotsa booze.

Sadly no. 2012 is shaping up to be a one-sided bloodbath. I have said, and repeat now, Obama, the Senate, and the House will be Democratic in 2012. Obama by a landslide. Any decent incumbent is hard to beat, of course, and the Republicans appear to be putting up a token fight, and saving it up for 2016.

In 12 Months we will all be sick of it. Unless Obama is caught banging Lindsay Lohan in an LA jail cell, after scaling the fortress walls like Puss-n-Boots. That would be cool.

Not that I would ever purposefully agree with the Tea Baggers, but the Super Committee is going to ultimately do Jack squat. Yet another distraction to hope that the problem goes away so none of them have to make a tough decision.

Yeah, we've hit the limit on what the Republican Strategy can really do. They've taken three years where they could have made in-roads and helped work the nation out of the Bush-created mess and given themselves a new breath of fresh air. In all honesty, the Republicans should have taken a different road with Obama than they did: if they had worked with him and built the country back up, they could have easily gone back to their shiatty tactics. But as you can see, greed really farked them up.

They forgot that their tactics only work when people are doing well and have something to lose: a house, housing value, perceived threats to their wealth. Instead, the Republicans doubled-down: they did not know how to react to an Obama presidency, and it shows. They overestimated how good they were at slinging propaganda and had grown complacent. The 'win' in 2010 only farked them more: it gave the Teabaggers the illusion of a voice, 'justified' their tactics, and revealed just how fractured the Republican lockstep really was. In all honesty, the Republicans would be in a better position today if they lost 2010 and went into the wilderness, handing Obama and the Democrats complete control until 2016: they would have gotten a chance to regroup, rebuild, and refocus. Instead, they have not only proven that they are incompetent and will destroy America for any chance at power, but that they have backed Bush's eight years and want to return to that shiatty economy regardless if it destroys the nation or not. And this is ignoring how much they have destroyed the Midwest with their 2010 'wins,' leading several people that were on the fence to become Democratic voters out of financial necessity.

Honestly, fark the Republicans, the nation doesn't need them. They're essentially middle managers who lick shiat off of corporate America's shoes without any pretense. But their behavior lately shows that there is nobody in charge. And honestly, who could be? They're looking for the Ultimate Republican and he does not exist. Their party is functioning like a sixteen-year-old Ford Taurus: the rust is holding it together, and it can't last that much longer. Their base wants the Christian fundamentalist utopia that will never truly happen or succeed in this country, and their representatives are looking for ways to keep the money coming in before they can retire. Corporate America is now pushing as much shiat as they can through because the end is coming. There will be no new Republicans. There is only Teabaggers now, and they're pretty much going to be the next big second party as they 'take back' their party and guarantee a one-party rule until a sensible party comes to remove them. And given how ingrained the stupidity, racism, and ignorance is within the Teabaggers, this could take a while.

In a way, we should thank Dubya. He not only destroyed the country's economy, he also destroyed his own party. The ignorance and fear that permeates the Republican mind needed a push, and a nepotistic little retard just helped destroy the American Right Wing. Truly a remarkable feat.

Don't Troll Me Bro!: Did anyone ever think that this "super committee" would do anything useful?

The plan was for them to fail.

But, some Democrat will probably cave, and so the Republicans will get tax cuts and more defense spending because of "jobs" even though government spending doesn't create jobs.

Explain how taking control of Congress in 2010 evidences a destroyed right wing?

The Super Committee was the lollipop offered to the Teatards during their tantrum over the manufactured debt ceiling 'crisis'. I think they want it to fail because then they'll get what they wanted all along which is an across the board painful indiscriminate slashing of programs.

FTFA: If the Super Committee cannot come up with a deal, or if its recommendations are rejected by the rest of Congress, the federal budget will be automatically cut by $1.2 trillion over the next decade, split between security and domestic programs.

/"Super Committee" always sounded to me like the boring administrative part of the JLA.

That's what I don't understand. If they come up with no plan at all, or something so contentious or outright stupid that it gets voted down, the automatic across-the-boards cuts kick in and they can just spend the next 10 years blaming Obama and saying "hey, we tried!". It would seem to me that the Republican motivation would be to come up with a plan that they could rationalize (to their constituents) voting against.

HE JUST DID!

When did the washington post become the washington times? What a load of right wing pandering. The whole point of the super committee is to try to work around the obstructionist nonsense the teabaggers encourage.

He didn't use any puppets or cartoons. How can anything be considered an explanation without puppets or cartoons?
