"Aren't You Embarrassed?" - My Latest Reply To * Supporters

[stopbush]

...and, it seems to work.

Just fill in the blank with whatever * disaster you feel like talking about and ask away!

Aren't you embarrassed by

...the crappy economy
...the cakewalk in Iraq
...no WMDs in Iraq
...* out to gut SS
...the dollar falling like a rock
...Medicaid cuts for old folks to pay for more rich-person tax cuts
...the deficit - back in force as far as the eye can see
...the propaganda press on the payroll
...SpongeBob's gay
...over 1400 troops dead for no reason at all?

See if it works for you, too.

On edit: adjusted the death toll on the troops. It's hard to keep up.

1. Sadly the dead number is over 1,400 now.

So is all going well with bu$h? You mindless idiots!

[RandomKoolzip]

2. "Yeah, but at least fags can't marry and my taxes are cut."

.....What I'm imagining I'd get as a response.

15. Got a LOT of RICH friends, do ya? n/t

3. I hate to say this....but I feel sorry for the chimp supporters I know

Most of the ones I know personally are decent people. They've been lied to, misled, confused. I get really angry with them when I think about what they're allowing to happen, but when I see them face to face I just feel sad.

7. No, they lied to themselves.

No need to feel sorry for them. Our grandchildren will be paying for their desire to "feel good" about the good old USA and their "Godly president".

As will theirs. They deserve whatever pain and guilt they allow themselves to feel - although few will. Instead, when things go so wrong they can no longer pretend - they'll blame it on our lack of support - just like they did in Viet Nam.

11. when I see them face to face I just feel pissed. n/t

16. Thing is feed them slowly, like someone who has fasted for...

weeks and weeks. They can only stomach the truth in small portions or the guilt that comes with the realization makes them puke it back up and reach for the denial.

Fools for the Lord, Fools for the Lord.

4. Ashamed is the word I use.

[lamp_shade]

12. Ashamed is the right word...

In my neighborhood, people are removing their Bush bumperstickers, while most of the Kerry stickers are staying put. I'm leaving mine on indefinitely... to make a statement... to show my neighbors that I'm PROUD I voted for Kerry.

[Tigress DEM]

13. I want my Kerry lawn sign back!

5. a softer approach: "I know how embarrassed you must feel,

and I feel badly for you. We've all made mistakes, after all, trusting someone who isn't trustworthy. So, are you ready to work together and figure out how we can stop some of the bad stuff that's happening to our country?"

[Warpy]

6. That doesn't work for me

Pointing out how unchristian * and gang are does.

It stops them dead in their tracks.

[BamaLefty]

8. Thank God Gays Can't Marry!

That is their bullshit response to everything.

They lack the intelligence to debate beyond 2 or 3 issues. Welcome to Alabama.

10. If cousins couldn't procreate...

there would be a lot less shrub supporters.

[Tigress DEM]

14. But is it "right" of them to allow someone to be murdered...

because they are gay and allow the perp to get away with it?

I know the marriage deal is still too hot to handle most times, but we should have anti-hate legislation that prevents people from getting away with murder.

[KissMeKate]

9. mass mental illness.

these people are out of touch with reality and many cannot be brought back from the dark side.

[Karenina]

17. It's a CULT.
