27. so. two-thirds of current repukes are insane or are traitors
after we take back the country and when the tribunals are over, that leaves only one-third of the current repukes (who currently number about 33.3% of the country) who will be able to participate in the electoral process. So after we take back America, repukes will only represent about 11% of the electorate. The Greens or other progressive third party could conceivably overtake them.

32. ok, but i am not going to start calling the other side traitors
Edited on Thu May-11-06 10:18 PM by seabeyond
unamerican, unchristian, or terrorists, when we go into power, k... lets just not

and to get a third party it needs to be center to take some from right, some from left. let the farther reaching left have their party, and farther reaching right have theirs. then we have three. if we third party where it is sole taking from one party, then obviously the party not touched will win every time

36. i have been telling all those around me hang your head in shame
i am literally saying this to adults that i know in this community. hang your head in shame. as your party accused me of not being american, christian, unpatriotic, traitor, a terrorist,..... shame on you that you didnt stand up to your party and defend me. what does that make you.

and now, you think i am going to stand around while the democrats do the same thing to the other side i just lectured. jsut today talking to an at&t guy that i whistled down in the street, a nation reserve who has been asked to go to iraq, but has turned on bush, that is pissed about the nsa he was listening to this morning, and just today i said the reason i am standing with the democrats is the republicans attacked them on......... and i would not stand with a party that does soemthing like that.

nope.... america isnt looking for the same as the republicans. you talk about a coup, it is because they DONT want republicans. it would behoove the democratic party if they were as far away from being republican

now.... the spade a spade saying. where does that come from. a shovel? a suit on a card? or a racial slur? i have stopped saying it because i am not sure where it originated

38. Don't know the origin of the saying, but these days it basically means
don't candycoat things - call them as you see them.

7. Scarborough's raking them over the coals
"The real headline is that your phone records are for sale"

Scarborough's saying that this is a common issue. Liberals and conservatives can relate to it. He's attacking Bush's argument that this is just "targeting" Al-Qaeda. Be afraid that the IRS might use it, or politicians could use it on their enemies.

He's attacking the "Trust me" argument too, calling it a "slippery slope to abuse"

19. I heard him ask a pundit: "First your phone. How about your credit
cards, too? Will that be OK with you?"

He's pissed. He's done.

It's amazing that they pulled this with his numbers this low, or else it was opened up because his numbers are so low, someone finally grew a conscience and released it.

13. I heard Democratic Senator Feinstein from California
is having a hard time because she strongly supports Hayden. She qualified her remarks this morning with the GOP talking point "It's fair to say that what was in the newspaper this morning is not content collection. ..."

but then said the spying was a problem.

6. As many republicans are, to distance themselves for the election...
Edited on Thu May-11-06 08:09 PM by LaPera
Then it'll be back to the same old corporate kiss-assing & fascist agenda...

Shit, Bush campaigned twice as a fucking moderate, told the people what they wanted to hear and then just stayed the ultra right-wing ideology...When will people learn, a republican is a fucking republican and policies.

18. Scarborough's thinking was that Clinton
signed Executive Orders that gave presidents the ability to legislate some laws directly from the Oval office, bypassing Congress completely.

24. Can someone please explain ...
the nature and order of this 'beast' called 'executive order'?
Of particular interest are:
a> what is its longevity?
b> can it be rescinded by congress and how?
c> does it have legal weight as laws passed by congress?
d> if an executive order is contrary to a congressional law, then which of the two prevails?

11. He knows who he follows
Got tired of losing all the KO audience when he came on and he jumped on to the winning side.

He's a whore, but I'm glad he's doing what he's doing. the more the merrier

Otherwise, he might have to actually work for a living.

16. A delicious desertion to the blue team! Congratulations and welcome Joe!
Joe is kicking butt and I for one, am proud of him. I always knew he was a smart guy- actually appreciated listening to him (in small doses) because I would learn from his point of view, how the other side thinks. So although I rarely agreed with him, at least he was coming from a relatively intelligent place. Of course, I also relished watching him get blown off his feet during a hurricane last season (sorry but he got what he deserved) however.

But tonight and the past few days, he's absolutely been blowing me away. Maybe we should send him a few DU thank you notes and congratulate him for finally "Seeing the Light"?

20. Perhaps Scarborough's made a few phone calls....
he would rather no one know about? Maybe some to do with a certain intern?

21. I guess Scarborough knows when to climb on the boat and
start screaming like he's some kind of intelligent being. ANYONE that can defend this is a fucking fool.

25. Finally Getting It...
huh, Scarborough? Took you long enough. Maybe if you had listened to those "traitor liberals", you would have realized the truth a lot sooner. But nooooo! Everyone has been ragging on us when their true enemy is in the White House. An apology to all liberals is in order, but I doubt that will ever happen. Conservatives are too pig-headed & stubborn.

31. Of course. When their numbers go in the toilet, they cover their asses,
but they sure were standin' by the psychos side for the last 6+ years, weren't they? I don't buy ANY of their "change of heart"/"Jumping ship" bullcrap. THEY ARE THE REASON WE'RE IN THIS FUCKING SITUATION! THEY DID THIS! NOW THEY SEE THAT WE WERE RIGHT? Well, I say BULLSHIT and they can all kiss my ass. Freakin' TRAITORS.
