1. "Yes they should, just imagine Nancy Pelosie in charge" |
|
Dems do the same things but that always gets swept under the rug.

31. I disagree that it will be the same with Dems in charge |
|
I saw Norm & Tom when I got home last night. Thomas Frank was too damn cynical about when Dems are in charge.
I have studied and MET some of the Dem candidates and I think they are better people than those two gloomy guys say they are. Am I making sense?

39. I think everybody goes to DC idealistic. |
|
I have met so many people who are good people when they leave and the system subverts them. All things being equal, the Dems are better people in that they believe in a completely different value system.
But what Norm was saying about the thin line between bribes and campaign contributions is the crux of our problem! Until we get publicly funded campaigns, we will never have democracy.

He had the story on the bums. Abramoff, Delay, etc.
Delay saying that he would have the smile of Jesus as he was being arrested. There will be a special place for that kind of phony.

8. Put the glass down and step away from the strawberry qiwi Lady |
|
Edited on Thu Oct-05-06 06:19 AM by notadmblnd
Been trying to figure out what flavor of Cool-aid it is they're drinking that make them think like they do. I've eliminated the traditional flavors. Grape, orange, cherry and lemon lime. I think I've narrowed it down to one of the goofy flavored ones they've come out with in recent years and determined that it has to be the strawberry qiwi don't mistake if for bursting berry, although that flavor is highly suspect also.. whatever you do, don't drink it, or you'll end up sounding like that repuke lady that just called. Was that nuts or what? All them dems fault all the time..

21. And the host agreed that people lie. |

The possibility that there are some Republicans who are just disgusted with their party is just too unbelievable, I guess, for the pitchfork wielding true believers.

Same situation as Nixon and the War, no exit strategy. Past 6 years national debt out of control. Our kids are going to be paying for this for generations.

26. I suppose we must give the Republiclowns a method of calling in |
|
Edited on Thu Oct-05-06 06:35 AM by acmejack
So they are not "Lying", as Susan so charitably accused all the dissenting Republiclowns of doing. R's may call in and contaminate our time without fear of being called on it, but dissenters on their time are lying Democrats! Neat, huh. Those slimy lyin' Democrats, can't even trust them to participate honorably on a call in show...

28. I Really Don't Know What You're Talking About. |

I'm not watching. But with a question of should rebubs maintain control of the house, I'd pretty much expect the Dems to say no, correct? I'm not sure what I missed here.

33. They changed the Question- Should Dems. Take control? |
|
The correct answer should be yes. Quite a few so called Dems. are not getting the picture and wanting big brother to remain in control.
Last caller- yellow dog democrat- not voting for dems.= all about immigration- Dems are all elite, rich, etc. Whip em good, and it may help. :silly:

38. The first 20 minutes were R's only. |
|
Any dissenters from the republiclowns maintaining control were accused of being liars and democrats, even though they were making valid, rational points. But the second 20 minute period was devoted to D's and anyone who felt that they shouldn't take control wasn't challenged at all. I felt it was totally incongruous, especially given the outlandish statements some of the callers were making!
Hope that helps some, OMC. Hard to follow when you aren't there, I know.

none of the "Democrats" saying No (to trying to take over congress) are making any sense.
Trotting out that tired old talking point, "Let the Repuglicans clean up their own mess" --is just laughable. The Repugs have proven themselves incapable of cleaning up anything.

40. There may have been one democrat out of that whole bunch. |

How sleazy can C-Span go. That was absolutely disgusting. The host quizzes the Repukes that call in if they're against the throne, accusing them of not being "true to the king" but a Democrat bashes the Dems and she just sits there like a smiling lump. After watching Bill Moyer's wonderful expose on the "real inner workings" of the Bush crime family, I don't put anything past this gang of Repukes. I'm so sick of hearing this libelous venom on every channel on my tv. Heard some idiot call in C-Span yesterday saying "god help us if that lesbian, Nancy Pelosi, becomes leader. We've got to get our message out people. Write your local paper, tell everybody you see on a regular basis, the Democrats are the only answer to this absolute mess we're in.
