Might I make a suggestion?
I was just LMAO tonight listening to the Repuke's 'Truth Squad' (like they would know truth if they saw it). They were bitching and moaning on the floor of the House about how it wasn't fair they didn't get to do amendments to any of the initial legislation, blah, blah, blah..... Talk about a bunch of freaking hypocrites! It was just cracking me up.

I suggest each of us send a pacifier to all the Repukes from each of our respective states, with a little note letting them know it will help soothe them while we take charge for a while! A couple bucks for a good cause?!?


:evilgrin:

1. Hundreds of thousands of passifers, alert the press, that would be
hilarious! Too petty?

NAH! :evilgrin:

9. Agreed.
But if we could get people to commit to hundreds of thousands of pacifiers at $2 a crack, I'd really rather see hundreds of thousands of dollars go to better causes than a momentary, albeit well earned, giggle.

11. "hundreds of thousands"? How about everyone just take the initiative to send
one (or a postcard with a pic of one, as suggested) to the Repukes in their state? Not suggesting hundreds of thousands.

12. Yes, I was just commenting on posts #1 and #2
Edited on Fri Jan-05-07 02:56 AM by G Hawes
#1 said "hundreds of thousands" of pacifiers, and #2 (yours) agreed with #1.

Forgive me for not knowing that you meant something other than what you actually posted. I'm fairly new here and didn't realize that I should read your posts to mean something other than what they actually say. Silly me.

Edit to add: :eyes: back at you.

5. It is just so pathetic to watch them crying foul when they've been ignoring
the Dem's pleas for so long!! Can't help but laugh!

Let's do it!

:toast:

BTW, Monkeyman, sorry for your loss. :hug:

4. I like the idea, but given the sniffing and dunking and so forth of the mail
perhaps a postcard (they get delivered without all the fuss of letters or packages) with a pacifier on it would do....something like this:



with the appropriate message on the back...something like "Get over it" perhaps? It would also be a much less expensive enterprise! I'd limit distribution to the complainers...the ones who appear willing to work with us should be given the benefit of the doubt until they mess up...

7. As Ye Sew, So Shall Ye Reap
I cry not for the Pubbie backbenchers. Where were they when Dick Cheney was briefing "the House Leadership" (defined as Republican leaders)? When Dem's were screaming for investigations of Halliburton and KBR war profiteering? When the Dem's wanted to investigate Cheney's meetings with the petroleum industry?

Cry me a river. And O rightwinger Christians, take another look at Matthew 19:21: "If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven."

Or how about Matthew 7:15: "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."

Or (my personal favorite), Luke 12:48: "For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required . . ."

What's up with these people? Don't they read their BIBLE?
