I got to smack my puke brother in law

[ChickMagic]

Actually, he was being quite nice to me. He's been worried about my health (understandably) and offered to drive me to the doc or help out where ever I need him. Then he told me that Northwest is cutting pilots. He's not losing his job, but his pay is going to be cut by 1/3. I told him to suck it up because he voted for it. Actions have consequences. All he could say was, "Yeah, I did vote for it."

I've turned ruthless. I don't like myself much these days.

[fertilizeonarbusto]

1. um

I like you.
Listen, Ginbarn, neither he nor any other puke would feel bad about doing the same to you. Consider it Tough Love and part of their education. They have to learn somehow before all of us are screwed by their actions. Stop feeling bad; you did the right thing.
:yourock:

[ChickMagic]

6. I like you too!

:hug:

Well, I'm not putting up with one word of complaint from anyone who voted for Monkeyboy. I'm not used to being so harsh, but I'll get used to it.

[ET Awful]

2. But on a brighter note, Puss in Boots is your avatar :)

[ChickMagic]

9. Yeah, baby!

I love that guy!!!!!

[ET Awful]

13. I about died laughing when he coughed up a hairball :) n/t

[ChickMagic]

18. Yeah, I snorted

And because of that, everyone laughed even harder. You could tell who is owned by cats. :)

[skypilot]

3. "You voted for it."

I get the feeling that ALOT of people are going to be hearing those words over the next four years.

[Kerrytravelers]

8. I know I'm ready to use it as often as I need to.

"You voted for it" and "I told you so" are my two new favorite phrases!

[fertilizeonarbusto]

10. They will from me

No mercy anymore. No longer taking prisoners.

[skypilot]

16. And when things get really, really bad...

...I think "La dee dah, la dee dah" should make a comeback.

[fertilizeonarbusto]

20. ROAR!!!!!!!!!!

Indeed it should.

[ChickMagic]

35. Not to mention

"neener neener neener"! With the grown ups in charge, that should really get to them!

[ChickMagic]

34. No quarter given

for sure. That's just the way it is.

[ChickMagic]

15. I plan to use it at every opportunity

I'm trying not to say, "I told you so" because they deny that I ever tried to tell them. They can't wiggle out of "Well, you voted for this."

[fertilizeonarbusto]

19. That's the spirit

Hey learning can be a painful experience :evilgrin:

[WolverineDG]

26. i prefer

"yeah, well at least gays can't get married"...kinda makes 'em see how stupid that position is compared with losing a job or getting a cut in salary.....as kurt weil said in three penny opera "first feed the face & then talk right & wrong."

31. Thinking of re-starting my moribund blog

Working title will be "Oh, you didn't know?" I want to collect the usual litany of outrages from the Bush administration, along with protestations from his benighted supporters that they're very s-m-r-t and they know exactly why they voted for him. Follow that up with updates of things that were pretty apparent to anyone paying the least bit of attention, and that always seem to confound the "morans."

Along with my usual witty, insightful and impeccable commentary.

[Ishoutandscream]

33. Thank you. My new mantra

And as an earlier poster put it, tough love is sometimes required. They voted for the scumbag, and they will have to live with the consequences, just like the rest of us.

[fishwax]

39. I've said it a few times already

And I'm sure I'll be saying it a lot more in the next few years.

When I'm ornery, I follow "you voted for it" with something likey "maybe, if we're lucky, in four years you'll have a chance to vote again so you can rectify the situation."

[Wetzelbill]

4. tell him to pick his self up by his bootstraps and...oh nevermind

Yeah, 'puke slogans all sound good until bad stuff happens to you. Then they all fall in line.

[ET Awful]

14. He could always get a voucher for community college like * promised . . .

oh wait, they snuck in a cut to college funding in the budget didn't they? Oh well, there goes that idea.

[otohara]

5. Ruthless? Hardly

I think we dems have every right to remind those who voted for * that if something isn't going the way they thought it would, it's what they voted for!

[Carolina]

7. hey, ruthless

I hear ya. I am the same way and I can't seem to snap out of it. I've been in this BLUE funk for 3 weeks and I don't see it lifting any time soon.

Unlike you, however, I don't feel bad about it ... yet.

[ChickMagic]

12. I've been really blue myself

Lethargic, even. On the verge of not caring. We'll make it through together, 'kay? :hug:

[rock]

11. If the foo shits

wear it.

[fudge stripe cookays]

17. We still love you!

If you need something to keep yourself motivated, keep PMing me about good places you know about around town! Or assholes you know don't need our business.

See? Don't you feel better already?
:hug:
FSC

[ChickMagic]

21. I always feel better

When fudge striped cookays are around!!! :hug:

[OldLeftieLawyer]

22. You don't?

From what you posted here, I like you a lot. And that's just for starters.

Don't confuse honesty with ruthlessness. Rightwingnuts are ruthless; you're simply commenting on the obvious. Good people are honest; scared people are ruthless.

I say "Bully for you!"

And I hope you're feeling better now.

[ChickMagic]

25. Thanks OldLeftieLawyer

I do feel better. You guys are the best! Oh, and by the way, if I ever get to retire, I plan to go to law school on an old goat scholarship to practice constitutional law. Then I'll be an OldLeftieLawyer too! :hug:

[OldLeftieLawyer]

28. Come to The Light, ginbarn..........

......... that'll be me waiting there welcoming you to the land where truth and sanity prevail, and where we never give up. Ever.

Don't forget, by the way - the election's not over. Keep that in mind, OK? And cheer up.

The light ........... the light ............... the light ------------------------------->

[ChickMagic]

29. I'm going toward the light!

Are you sure it's not a train? :silly:

[OldLeftieLawyer]

40. We're the train, baby

And those who think they're going to trample our Constitution are our tracks ......................

[ChickMagic]

44. Alright!

I'm one of those weirdos that carry the Declaration of Independence and Constitution around with me in my purse, kind of like Talibornagains carry their Wholly Babble.

[Union Thug]

23. Ruthless is good. Pull no punches.

"no more Mister Nice Guy..."

[JaneDoughnut]

24. Don't blame me

I think Kerry should take those unspent millions and send each one of us a "Don't blame me, I voted for Kerry" bumper sticker. I'll display it proudly in the few days leading up to Armageddon.

[greenbriar]

32. Check out cafepress.com...I got my don't blame me

I voted for Kerry shirt.


Wear it every weekend!!! To Walmart, Dillons and other places!~



I am with ya.


YOU VOTED FOR HIM/IT is my new mantra

[DinahMoeHum]

27. "Let Them Eat Moral Values" - idea for a bumpersticker

:evilgrin:

[NuttyFluffers]

37. ha ha ha, oh my god, that got me!

sad thing, i'm afraid several dim GOP members won't get it. irony is wasted on the stupid... :(

but i love it! :D

[Brewman_Jax]

30. My freeper father is feeling it

His health care payments are still rising, but he gets to keep his guns. Good for you, dad! Maybe you can swap them for your monthly payments.

You don't like it? That's what you voted for. Give Mr. Bush* a call.

More freeper stories as I hear them. The simple-minded are easily distracted. :dunce:

[underseasurveyor]

36. Speaking the truth and being honest can hardly be considered

ruthless. Don't feel so bad. Time these people realize that under that sweet candy coating they've been sucking on is a bitter, bitter pill. Reality bit him, you didn't. :pals:

[ChickMagic]

38. True. Very true.

My sister voted for Kerry. No quarter given - even among loved ones. All hail the DU brother/sisterhood!!!!! :yourock:

[noiretextatique]

41. i was talking to someone who is proud of not voting

"they're both the same" she said, in explanation. just before i was about to go ballistic, she admitted she had no right to complain for the next 4 years. and i am going to make sure she hears from me if she does complain.

[underseasurveyor]

42. My sweet mother in law voted for bush again.

Gloves are off now :grr: We have for the past two years given her 50 dollars a month to help her meet her bills. I told my hubbie that the 50 a month still stands but if he gives her ONE penny more a month? Well let's just say it's too horrible to talk about :nuke:

She voted for it twice, she can just damn well live with her choices and she can ask her 2 other repuke sons for more money if she needs it. I don't feel the slightest bit bad for allowing her own reality to bite her in the ass.

:hug:

[ChickMagic]

43. I feel the same about my Dad

Total repuke. He doesn't even care if his grandchildren get drafted.
If I hear one single word of complaint from him, I'm going to lower the boom. My mom always votes the way Dad tells her to. He thought I'd be the same way and we've been at political war ever since.

[Lone Pawn]

45. I don't really think Northwest's financial ills are all caused by *

Oil prices are hurting, true, but even before the oil spike the airlines have been hit pretty hard. Travel's down, a weak dollar means less tourism, and the unions all negotiated very nice packages right before the bust--plus low-budget carriers are getting harder and harder to compete with.

[ChickMagic]

46. Travel's down

because people are either afraid to fly or they can't afford it. The weak dollar is because of our crushing deficit. It's monkeyboy all around. Tom did say that the pilots got a much better deal than the stewards and stewardesses. He said they got royally screwed.

I understand that the airlines were already in trouble, but I won't tolerate complaints from a monkeyboy voter.
