he's using the shark as a skipping rope!

And if (ha!) Ted Cruz is elected president, you think that will be because of ONE person? Who IS this omnipotent overlord?

with his immense power

he will be the sole cause that keeps Obama from winning a third term.

And I am pretty sure he never did say anything bad about Bush when Bush was pretending to be President.

TANJ, I don't know why I never saw it before.

If Will can throw the election to the pukes with TWO OPs and get a GOP in the White House that some amazing shit. Lets avoid the GOP president and concentrate on William Rivers Pitt. I suggest we elect him to the White House.

he was here during the entire Bush administration and he wrote tons and tons of things about them and there's no question that he did not mince words.

Pitt called Bush MUCH worse than a POS used car salesman!

see if you get a pizza delivery.

That is my advice.

Will Pitt can cause our downfall merely by typing something negative on a political forum about the POTUS? Holyshit! I had no idea he was that all powerful!

So which is it? Is he this all powerful human or is he nothing but a number...I keep hearing the same people vacillate between the two.

but they don't vote in off-year elections.

Do you even know anything about anything about this?

Thicken up your skin. People see things differently and have the right to express them. If you don't know anything about the person you are speaking of (and apparently you do not) then perhaps you should acquaint yourself rather than knee jerking your way into silly land.

because they betraaaaaaaayed him!

Seems to me a natural thing to do....

It does not become more powerful when Democrats hold it.

It will always require compromise. I don't know what standard you mean, if it's behavior, well, Democrats generally already behave better. If it is holding with zeal to ideology and refusal to compromise, I'll leave that to Republicans.

But as to results - that depends on the make up of each Congress/Legislature. I'm not going to call it betrayal if they can't get everything out of a legislature.

From where it came. The guy was in pain, as anyone with a nickel's worth of human empathy could have figured out.

What the hell is your major damage?

Kinda hard to claim "he was in pain" as an excuse for all of those.

I'm talking about exactly what I was talking about, nothing more.

I thought you meant any number of other times Pitt has said something...controversial.

And BTW, my original response was to the OP, which did not identify the fact that there were multiple posts.

In fact, I didn't know till just a moment ago that Pitt had used the term multiple times. I have the man on ignore (just because I understood the sentiment, does not mean I don't get tired of reading really irrational shit), so I'm not what you would call a fan.

Anyway, if I knew then what I know now...I'd have known better. Thanks for the head's up.

actually wrote a book with another man who was well aware of the lies that led to the Iraq invasion by the Bush Gang. This was even before the war. It was known, even at that time, that the war was being based on lies.

There are a lot of people that don't want to be compared to and become complicit in the war.

What an eye-opener that was for me.I knew from watching the mainstream media that something just didn't add up, and then when I read about the PNAC's blueprint, I realized Iraq was a target all along.

yes, DU, and understanding that there was something really off about the excuses for going to war with Iraq. Will Pitt and Scott Ritter understood this.

And yes, Iraq was the target all along. Afghanistan turned out to be nothing more than a diversion that lasted for more than 10 years.

You should throw a tantrum and hold your breath until you pass out.

It seems to work for my nephew. Oh wait...no, not really. The reactions to a comparatively-minor event around here are starting to wig me out. It's not like Will's opinion of the President changes everything...or anything for that matter.

Wait! What am I saying?

The United States is doomed! Will Pitt called the President "a used car salesman" and now the seas are boiling and the lakes are turning to blood, the heavens are falling and the earth is shaking, Mitch McConnell just held a door for Elizabeth Warren, I just had a decent non-alcoholic beer and good barbecue...in New Haven, CT! There's exceptional pizza in parts of the US South. Doom! Doom!

Come on people - let's get this to the Greatest Page!

He can probably come up with a long list of Republicans deserving of that label.

I'm sure you've got him shakin' in his boots!




Thanks for the laugh.

Which has what to do with anything?

apparently not.

There is a thread calling out this poster for his call out threads.

That thread got hidden.

... but it didn't register that way for me. My mistake.

IMO, someone with the temerity to take cheapshots at a quality, established DU member with the stature and creds of Mr Pitt, isn't to be taken seriously. That's all I was trying to convey.

Which those of you in politics forget. Policy is more important than your personality of the month. This isn't the VMA awards.

I do hope that the person who wrote the OP had the common sense to spit on the ground after they typed that.

Clicks/Rec/Clicks/Recs.. ad nauseum

Any further advanced insights you want to share?

Who got upset. I've been reading him long enough not to doubt his political standing. However, there is a distinct danger in continuing to promote disillusionment with the Democratic Party, and a President Cruz is a very possible outcome if Democrats don't vote because they decide the two parties are the same.

Aside from that, who could possibly give a fuck what these people think?

The guy does nothing but run around with his hair on fire.
