Let's Play BLAME THE GODDAMNED REPUBLICANS!!! PLAY ALONG
Edited on Fri Feb-04-05 04:49 PM by MrScorpio
If any of you are familiar with my New Conversational Rules, you will know how the play this game:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=2077582

The rules are pretty simple

1. Whenever any problem, regardless or not of any political implications, rears itself during any conversation, I'm automatically going to blame the Republicans. Sometimes, GWB specifically, but not too often. One other thing, I really don't give a damn if the blame is warranted or not. They're just going to get blamed for all problems, both big and small.

2. I will always preface any reference to the Republicans with the epithet, "Goddamned."

3. I will use these following reasons for blaming the Republicans; Corruption, runaway budget deficit, incompetence, arrogance, insensitivity, partisanship, God's wrath against republicanism... Well, you get the picture.

4. I will follow up each statement with one of the following admonitions, each complete with the appropriate epithet: "Something ought to be done about those fuckers", or the ever popular: "Those assholes really did it to us this time".

5. I will justify blaming them for all things bad, solely because THEY ARE IN CHARGE!

Let's play

The New York Fucking Times has an obvious TYPO as plain as day on its web page:

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/national/AP-Jewel-Robberies.html?oref=login

Why the goddamned republicans are to blame: They've underfunded the educational system in New York to the point where the goddamned "Paper of Record" can't even hire a decent spell checker. What a bunch cheap assed bastards.

Something ought to be done about those fuckers.

Those goddam Republicans have made me have to put so goddam much time in at work that I can't even remember to charge my iPod--I don't know if I'm coming or going most days. Those greedy bastards. Something ought to be done about those fuckers.

6. Great idea Mr Scorpio, and if you have noticed
even though they are in charge, they constantly whine about everything. I like to poke em up the ass with a hot brick of honesty. God does honesty piss a republican off, especially when applied loudly and with conviction.

And it's been applied too sparingly for these fuckheads.

14. My arthritis is killing me
Goddamned Republicans messing with scientific research and encouraging drug companies to charge an arm and a leg for drugs that aren't safe. If there was real stem cell research, they'd find a cure for arthritis, but nooooooo....Greedy bastards have done it to us again.

15. I have to work tomorrow to make up for our lack
of being fully staffed. Those damn republicans are to blame. They've made it so that relatively small businesses have to cut every corner to stay afloat. If not for their fucking bullshit pandering to HMO's, benefits would be better and cheaper and we could hire more folks. Dumb fucks. Those assholes really did it to us this time.

16. These last two posts are excellent examples of how to play the game
You need to intelligently LINK the republicans to the problem that you highlighted.

We already KNOW that the fuckers are responsible, what we need to know is WHY!

about whether it makes sense. It's ALL their fault y'know!

19. The Guy Upstairs From Me FLOODED His Apartment! I Now Have Awful Damage!
Edited on Fri Feb-04-05 07:46 PM by Beetwasher
He has a mental handicap and could use some sort of assistance becasue he forgets things, like turning off his water faucets and it's actually DANGEROUS, but since those fucking scumbag Republicans are forcing social services to cut funds there's no way in fucking hell for him to afforD to get help! So he forgets to turn off his faucets, floods his apartment and mine gets damaged! REPUBLICANS ARE SCUM!

24. The Girl Next Door to Me BURNED Her Apartment!
She also has a mental handicap, but because those goddamned Republicans cut social spending, she couldn't get help. Her fucking boyfriend used to beat her up, then she nearly fucking burned down my apartment along with hers. I couldn't afford renters' insurance because those goddamned Republicans in Sacramento keep cutting Medi-Cal and Disability benefits, so I had to rely on outside help to clean up smoke damage.

Because of her mental handicap and the times I had to call the police on her boyfriend for domestic abuse, the apartment complex kicked her out. Where the fuck is she going to go?

Goddamned Republicans! :mad:

23. I had to sit through two hours of sexual harassment training yesterday
and watch a cheesy video from the early nineties because those goddamned Republicans don't care enough about employees to require employers to buy current cheesy videos when they make them sit through two hours of sexual harassment training. Heartless bastards are probably too busy sexually harassing each other to give a shit if I have to endure the weird woman in the purple suit who keeps saying my quiz answers that I thought were sexual harassment are really gray areas. She's probably a Republican, too.

Come to think of it, I might have done better if much of my early schooling hadn't been during the Nixon administration.

25. I can't get help to clean my apartment.
Because of the goddamned Republicans in Sacramento always fucking up the budget, I can't get help to clean my goddamned apartment.

Last month I had to hire someone to come in for four hours to keep my apartment from becoming a health hazard and this month I got the bill: $60. I only get $805 on SSI Disability, so this sets me way back. My budget for this month is practically nothing. Why am I being punished for getting sick????

Something needs to be done about those scumbag Republicans.

26. I lost my job in2001
it was all * fault. I still can't find a decent job. Those damn republicans are always trying to ruin my life. I still can't find a job and on top of all that, every time I try to wash my car, it rains. It wouldn't be like that if it weren't for all the global warming the damn repugs were causing. They're f'ing up my world. Those assholes have really done it to me this time.

27. The problem: I can't find a job
Edited on Sat Feb-05-05 04:28 AM by antiwarwarrior
This is because those goddamn Republicans think it's more important to line their pockets than to make getting a job a reasonably possible idea for a college student.

Something ought to be done about those fuckers.

29. My brother thinks he's independent, and a centrist. He quotes Fox
like it's unbiased. He says he, well really, likes George W. Each day a little more comes out, like when he cagily got invoved with a cult religion years ago. His brain is turning to cream cheese! He doesn't know they've gotten him. AND IT'S ALL THE DAMNED REPUBLICANS' FAULT!

30. Although I don't drink their swill,
I got to hand it to Budweiser that their commericals are pretty fucking funny. Now because of the fear of a backlash from the goddamned republican controlled F-Fucking-CC, one of their commercials won't make it to the Super Bowl.

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2005/02/04.html#a1494

Hey! Half the fun of the Super Bowl is watching all of those brand new stupid assed price inflated commercials.

Everybody knows what a bunch of uptight asswads the FCC has become since those goddamned republicans took over. Now we can't even laugh at the expense of some celebrity's so-called "wardrobe malfunction" that happened over a mother-fucking YEAR AGO.

What the FUCK?!?

Those assholes really did it to us this time.

32. Using a thread from the front page of the Lounge
Those goddamned Republicans make it okay to treat low wage workers like shit, so they have to depend on tips to surive. And assholes like the one in that thread have been brainwashed by those goddamned Republicans to believe that it's perfectly okay to treat them like crap and that they could get better jobs if they really really wanted to, so it's their fault that asshole feels justified in not leaving tips too :grr:

Something ought to be done about those fuckers, and soon :mad:
