Oklahomans (especially Dems) I am so so sorry Imhole and Assburn are your Senators

[DainBramaged]

someday your state will come out of it's neanderthal cave.

[CBGLuthier]

1. thank you for your compassion, your concern.

[DainBramaged]

2. Who elected them, people from Utah?

[CBGLuthier]

3. Not I. Not any of my many liberal friends.

I alerted. You got away easily. I will say that you do have a great username. I hope I can be allowed to insult one fucking Duer who has insulted every Oklahoman.

I leave it you guys. Hide this post and it will be my last.

[DainBramaged]

4. Well, when MY Jersey shore got wiped out, YOUR Senators treated us like enemies not citizens

have a nice life.

[winter is coming]

6. CBGLuthier is not personally responsible for the way NJ was treated after Sandy.

OK DUers may be the only Okies within reach of your boot, but that's no excuse for kicking them when they're down.

[DainBramaged]

8. And this?

[winter is coming]

9. Got any proof that Oklahoma DUers appove of that?

Or does DU only welcome Dems from the "right" states?

There's a difference between pointing out that Coburn is a slimy hypocrite and calling Okies Neanderthals.

[DainBramaged]

16. So all of a sudden Oklahoma is hallowed ground and I shouldn't insult the folks who voted for them?

Direct your anger at the two asshole senators not me.

[winter is coming]

31. Direct your anger at the asshole senators and not at the OK DUers who don't want them, either.

You'd be enraged if they dissed everyone in your state because Republican voters live there. Why is it okay to crap on them because they happen to live somewhere with more Republicans than Democrats?

[DainBramaged]

32. I diss my own fucking state and the asshole Governor I didn't vote for

pull your sanctimonious crap with someone else, your torch is not mine to bear.

[DainBramaged]

5. "Hide this post and it will be my last. "

And I thought Jerseyans had giant egos......

[treestar]

7. What a frivolous alert

That those two are OK's Senators is simply a fact.

[cordelia]

10. Nothing frivolous about it.

The OP implied the whole state of Oklahoma is inhabited by "neanderthals" (sic).

Region bashing.

I would have voted to hide it.

[geek tragedy]

25. Only about 57% Neanderthals, according to election returns

Year Democrat Votes Pct Republican Votes Pct
1994 Dave McCurdy 392,488 40% James Inhofe 542,390 55%
1996 James Boren 474,162 40% James Inhofe 670,610 57%
2002 David Walters 369,789 36% James Inhofe 583,579 57%
2008 Andrew Rice 527,736 39% James Inhofe 763,375 57%

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Inhofe

Coburn is the liberal Senator from Oklahoma.

[madokie]

11. Actually DB

back in the reagan days when the economy went south for a lot of those in the rust belt we had a large influx of people from there, the rust belt states, move to our state and if you'd do a search on that I believe you will find that our quality of politicians went down hill with that. Whether that is the reason or not I'm not sure but its something to think about.
Maybe I'm misremembering but I don't think I am
I'd do a search to find the relevant information but at the moment I'm fixing to hit the yard and clean up after the last wave of storms to come through here. Do some tree trimming, lawn mowing, garden work. My time today will be met with a sweaty body and with a little grumbling possibly mixed in. Probably not much grumbling as I'm pretty happy to be alive.
Just throwing this little tidbit out there

[DainBramaged]

19. If they didn't vote for him getting angry at me is simply bullshit

Direct the anger at the morons who think Oklahoma should be held hostage for Federal assistance, not me.

[madokie]

22. No anger, Just saying thats all

The last person I'd be angry at is you
I do think there possibly is a correlation between the two but I'm not saying that as fact, didn't mean to imply that either.
My apologies for making it sound that way
I"ll go back and read what I typed to see where I went wrong. sorry mybad

[NCTraveler]

12. I lived in an area of Florida once that elects pretty extreme RWingers.

What's interesting was that there was a very strong contingent of African Americans all living in one section. They voted overwhelming for the dem candidate every time. So what was the problem. The problem, was that through gerrymandering, their community was cut in half. Their votes were watered down. It was guaranteed that they would not have the representation in congress that they desired. These good dems are represented by a far right winger, due to nothing that they themselves did. Politically, they are completely shit upon. They have very limited resources to fight battles and are truly abused by the system.

What will you say when a hurricane comes through their community, destroying it. In your little world, you would shit on them. Tell them they can fuck off due to their representative. Your lack of compassion is showing and the people you will truly hurt most are the ones who will fight for the same causes as you. Your posts make your intentions with respect to the op clear. Puff your chest out, as you type on your keyboard, and let all the OK dems know that you are doing just fine.

[DainBramaged]

15. (sigh)

I was going to respond, but really, put me on ignore. Lecture someone else.

BuhBye

[NCTraveler]

17. I do not put people on ignore.

I like to read what is out there. I stand behind every word in my post. Seems you don't want to answer to yours. It is all good by me.

You just sent me an email calling me a "sanctimonious asshole" and telling me to put you on ignore.

I have no fear of seeing your opinions and responding to them. Also, I have no need for you to send me emails telling me what to do. Very bullyish. That attitude really falls in line with your op and other responses.

[cordelia]

36. I just got a "fuck you, asshole" from this one some time ago.

I didn't even rate "sanctimonious"; now I'm sad.

Quite the bully.

[jberryhill]

26. What does gerrymandering have to do with US Senators?

US Senators are not elected by districts.

[NCTraveler]

27. Congress persons vote also.

I thought this was more about representatives and how they vote. I think my post was pretty clear. It clearly spelled out how the mentality of the op can be seriously destructive to very good people. Guess you missed that. The most vile are in the house.

[jberryhill]

28. The OP is about Inhofe and Coburn

[NCTraveler]

29. And the mentality of electing rw representatives.

You point is taken. I fully back my response to the op, which you have not addressed here. The mentality is the same, whether talking about senators or congresspersons. I understand that there are some like the op, and possibly you, who feel that whole communities should suffer because the majority of voters make bad decisions.

[NCTraveler]

30. And to think that redistricting does not play a role in senate campaigns....

would be akin to not seeing reality. The fact is, disenfranchised voters, do not go to the polls as they should. Even in statewide elections. Gerrymandering can play a great role in statewide elections. There are many purposes to disenfranchising voters.

[Cleita]

40. That's the problem. The minority in power have figured out how to cheat

on elections legally. If our elections were even as transparent as Venezuela's, many would not be in office.

[a la izquierda]

13. Ahh, thanks. Really.

From a Jersey girl who lived in Oklahoma. It's not like my home state doesn't have a giant, useless asshole of a governor to be ashamed of...plus an ineffective Democratic machine that can't find one candidate to propose for governor.

That, and Snookie.

[DainBramaged]

18. Snooki is a New Yorker.....

[a la izquierda]

21. Oh, I know.

The culture that spawned her is thoroughly NJ.

[DainBramaged]

23. No it isn't

The culture that spawned her was MTV

[ananda]

14. ROFL

20. Superstorm Death Count Reaches 135

Sandy’s death toll in the U.S. has risen to 135, according to tallies from individual counties and states, with 60 deaths in New York now credited to the superstorm.

“As medical examiner’s reports have come in from individual counties, we’ve seen the number rise,” said Rich Azzopardi, a spokesman for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo who provided updated numbers on Monday.

County medical examiners say many of the deaths were storm-related, such as from trimming trees or from carbon-monoxide fumes from generator use, but not directly caused by the storm. Those deaths count in New York’s overall total, although that isn’t the case in all jurisdictions.

“Let’s say someone was trimming trees after the storm,” said Grace Kelly-McGovern, a spokeswoman for the Suffolk County Medical Examiner’s Office. “That’s related to the storm.”

Just a thought for those of you who think we got of easy in NY/NJ

[Buzz Clik]

33. Tread lightly, DB.

Not the post to which I'm responding .... but you are a target. There are those who push despised DUers really hard trying to get them to pop or to discredit them. The real idiots are totally transparent, though they think they are stealthy and clever. The good ones have become adept at acting like DUers, but they have an unmistakable tell.

I think you're doing fine -- you know when to pull back. Just be aware.

[DainBramaged]

34. Yep

Known it for years. When David thinks it's time to go he'll let me know. I'm too old and ill to worry about 'them' anymore. I am what I am and that's all that I am and if they stood up for what they write like I do we'd all be better off. My journal goes back years, how many of them are proud of their comments here?


And on top of it all, I know who my friends are, Interesting it's a couple of recent members, strange they congregate in this thread, oh well, not worth being bothered. Life is too short.


FYI this thread.


13 days in November during Sandy, no electricity water or heat. 35 degrees during the night. Red Cross showed up on the 13th day. Lukewarm hotdogs and beans, blankets 60 X 24 ". Where I work no power for 8 days after the storm. No paycheck, all stored cold and frozen food discarded. If it wasn't for my daughter, I'd not have had a shower. Those who carry a torch of insult need to carry it to someone else.


Be well

[CBGLuthier]

35. he is a dick and we all know it

Final comment fuck him. Farewell du after 12 years I have had enough of your hatred.

[DainBramaged]

37. WOW, what a goodbye

I guess it's OK on the DU to now tell someone "fuck you" or "fuck them" or "fuck him/her".


If I am the resaon you're leaving, you shouldn't be posting on the internet........


Have a nice trip!




Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibi
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr Brightside

[winter is coming]

38. Your compassion knows no lower bounds. n/t

[DainBramaged]

41. I guess you two are buds?

You have no idea where the boundary of my compassion lies, and it certainly doesn't lie with you............

[winter is coming]

42. I don't know him from Adam's off ox.

Dumping on him because he's accessible when he isn't responsible is lower than whaleshit.

[DainBramaged]

44. Know what, you've had your say and I'm done being amused by your indignity

Sorry you're the one who hates.

Have a nice life, and I won't even bother sending a goodbye PM. Your whole purpose in this thread (along with others) was to claim a scalp and lock it down because of one word you decided was the focal point of the thread. The focal point is OK has two flaming asshole senators, period. And you've kept it at the top day and night now, so thanks for that.


Enjoy your evening.

[cordelia]

39. You said "fuck you, asshole" to me. But does that count since it was in a DU Mail?

[Texasgal]

45. Please ignore this.

There are so many of us that have compassion and want to help. Please do not let this poster make you leave DU. Southerners are needed here.

Hugs to you. I hope you and your loved ones are safe.

[Buzz Clik]

48. No doubt. This place is filled with "dicks", and I have been called worse myself.

However, this place is also filled with a worse element.

[Pragdem]

24. My heart equally breaks for both Republicans and Democrats when disaster hits.

No matter whom they vote for.

[Texasgal]

43. I don't think any natural tragedy

should be politicized.

I felt compassion and heartbreak for Sandy as I do for Moore.

I just don't think it's fair to do this. I understand your frustration, but please... give it a rest.

I made a donation for Sandy via Red Cross and I plan to do so for OK as well.

[DainBramaged]

46. Your opinion is noted

hope you are well.

[Texasgal]

47. And I hope you are as well.

Sandy was awful and I still think about what the residents went through... It's no fun.
