1. Damn you. My IQ just dropped 50 points looking at those pics.
That is a fantastic summary of Epic Failure!

2. Those are good reasons for us to not give anyone a blank check.
The Republicans weren't critical of their leaders, and that was the result.

10. !
:applause:

E - V - E - R - Y - O - N - E IS at the table and, no matter how good a guy Obama is, they WILL eat our lunch and still count it a great success, if we don't stand up for ourselves.

3. The media ones especially!
It doesn't need to be mindless, but at least it should be unswaying support even in the face of disagreement.

11. "unswaying support even in the face of disagreement"
I like that. As Democrats or progressives or whatever we want to call ourselves we must balance our feelings with an emphasis on support. If Obama needs a correction then we will be there to help correct him but we must also be ready to cover his back when necessary and it is going to be plenty necessary in these next few years. The man is taking on catastrophic problems unlike any in recent American history and we must be there for him when he needs us.

12. Right! Disagreement does NO good if you quit or turn against those with whom you disagree.
e.g. Israel and Palestine.

34. Yeah, it's just plain pointless to disagree if you don't stay committed.

Both/ALL

sides need to love the relationship enough to allow it to "change" them when necessary.

20. Actually those are ten persuasive reasons to never give anyone a mindless blank check
We didn't win the election because we are thoughtless cyborgs.

We won because people were tired of what the uncritical personality cult that sprung up around Bush and was maintained by the people in your pictures had wrought.

21. Who is the guy in the last photo?
I recognize all the other cretins, but not him.

I like his tie, but I assume if he's on this list, he must be a right wing a-hole.

They must have kindly photo-shopped away his 30 chins.

And why the hell would anyone marry him? :scared:

28. Sean Hannity -- the worst of the bunch in my opinion. Faux TV and con radio.
He is incredibly manipulative of the truth. Simple minded conservatives love him.

35. I watch it at times just to keep current with the Republican mindset.
I have noticed a bit of a swing towards moderation with some of the commentators and analysts. But it is still blatantly biased for the most part.

36. Those faces are the reasons that no politician
should ever get a blank check. That is the lesson to learn. No blank checks. Accountability begins with us, we failed ourselves for 8 years. No more of that, not for anyone, ever.
