Is there even a point in engaging Bush supporters?

[Rosemary2205]

I'm not the kind of person who just writes people off. I'm happy to live with a difference of opinion as long as folks aren't habitually abusive. But really, when you have 24% of Americans still backing Bush's every move and post things like the following -- how can you not be tempted to just view them as less than human good for nothing but flamebait playthings? It really upsets me that these people bring out in me the secret desire to see them wiped off the face of the earth for the good of the planet and the good of mankind.

Lady beer keg butt & B Hussien Obbbama will take this country in a direction we really have no conception of how far left. If you think you have lost rights (which I don't) under Bush try to imagine another clinton in the white house with a d'rat congress.

I will take any of the GOP cancicates (even McLame) over any of the d'rats.

Of course ElQaeda is pulling for the d'rats.

Author DE reponds to the Libby communtation

given that since President Bush cannot run for re-election for a 3rd term of office he does not have to give a damn what the Worthless-O-Crats want. ......

I have no problem with that ((This administration can thumb it's nose at any law it chooses and never be held accountable.)) And I hope he does exactly that.

It is proven the dumbascracks are waging a war against God. This homo teacher has to be another Hillary carpet muncher who want to convert the class to her preverted lyfesyle. Instead of Homochusettes harboring these freaks we should be passing laws to arrest them for sodomy and lockign them into sanatareaums for the good of America. These people need to understand why presisent Bush was elected to bring DOMA into law in all 50 sttes.

1. Is there a point in poking pit vipers with sticks?

:shrug:

[silverweb]

2. No.

It's a waste of energy that's much better used for positive action.

Anyone who still supports BushCorp at this point is so self-deluded and/or so sociopathic as to be beyond reason.

[0rganism]

3. Not the ones you listed, no

I think the DE author may be more honest about the bush administration than the others, but since he openly approves of lawlessness when bush does it, there's no reason to engage. Just remember that post for when he gets all "law & order" about everyone else.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

4. There's a difference between posters on the internet and real people

I know a lot of Republicans, and I talk with them frequently. One has a framed photo of himself and his wife with Bush, and they can't say a kind word about Bill Clinton (in fact, the wife was mad when they went to a reception and shook hands with Bill because Clinton didn't make a pass at her so she could slap him!). They are probably a lost cause. But I convinced a member of the local GOP to vote for Kerry in 2004 and for the Dems in 2006 (helps when that person knows our conman and knows he is an idiot). And I've convinced another couple to go Libertarian instead of GOP in 2004, and it is just going to take a little bit to get them going over to the impeachment camp.

If you know a person, know their interests and where they are coming from, you can talk to them-watch their body language, and know if they can be coaxed from the dark side.

On the internet, people are cloaked in anonymity, and it is harder to convince them of anything. They also tend to write things that they would never say to your face--kindly keep that in mind.

:wow:

Do you know a Democrat was in the White House during WW2? :wow:

Do you realize that a Republican Congress had to sign off on the Defense budget during the Clinton years? :wow:

8. Exhibit "A" Rosemary

They don't even see that the "hands tied" argument they're using on Iraq is just a recycled version of the excuse for losing Vietnam. Despite having killed millions in Vietnam, and possibly a million in Iraq already.

Better off to ask people to spend an hour a month contacting DC. I think the bigger problem is most people don't understand their voice really does matter.

10. blah, blah, blah

Stick around and educate yourself....then again, probably not. You need a brain for that to occur.

14. Excuse me, it's "morans" not "morons".

LOL :)

And yes it is definitely "exhibit A".


BTW -- I feel honored one of them went through all that trouble to join up just to tell lil ol' me off.

[Skittles]

16. but Rosemary, Democrats will raise taxes on us regular folk!!!!

OMG - can you believe the sheer gullibility of these assholes? Proof that even the worst propaganda the GOP throws at their idiot minions works just DANDY. It would be funny if the consequences for America weren't so dire that people like that stupid f*** even EXIST. :o

[yewberry]

13. Rosemary is right on target.

She asks, "Is there any reason to engage with Bush supporters?"

You illustrate that there is no point.

People are, of course, able to state their own opinions, as are we.

Democrats didn't create "the rules of engagement" that you refer to. Of couse Bush didn't cause Katrina--but he is responsible for the nightmarish treatment and lack of action that followed and continues to this day. The rest of your diatribe is simply bigoted and childish.

For the record, Mr. Bush and his administration have destroyed much of what was good and just in this country, and they should be treated as such. As traitors.

[johnaries]

19. In regards to the OP, my answer is no. Just hit alert.

If they still support Bush after all his traitorous acts, there is no reaching them. They are too far gone.

Bye-Bye, JT!

[warren pease]

20. "lockign them into sanatareaums"...

I assume you'll be joining them soon? I mean, six months to a year in rehab and counseling is the least you can do for yourself, and for the rest of the planet.

Bye bye...

22. Why can't you Republicans spell?

It's spelled, "OPINION." There are not two "p's" in the word.

And, "Democrat" is noun. "Democratic" is an adjective. Therefore, you should say that you don't believe in any "Democratic" values. Honestly, you make yourself sound like a stupid, uneducated idiot when you mock Rush and Hannity and call it the Democrat Party.

Oh, and I wouldn't vote for George W. Bush for any amount of money. He's absolutely ruined this country and eviscerated the middle class.

[timtom]

35. Now, why did you have to go and

use a word like "eviscerated"?

You probably scared him off.

What is it with the functionally feeble-minded (politically speaking, of course!) that they can't seem to gain any mastery over their own language?

[timtom]

37. Yup!

He's gone! You done run him off with your durnfool college words.

[Old and In the Way]

41. It is pretty funny....they want to make English the national language

but they obviously haven't mastered it themselves, yet. Muddled language, muddled thinking.

[Selatius]

24. Keep voting for the Republicans. You had them for 12 years.

And they lost both Houses of Congress on their own incompetence and corruption.

[Greyskye]

28. There certainly isn't any point in engaging THIS one

Wow. What a string of moronic assertions.



Don't let the forum hit your ass on the way out. Wait - never mind. Go ahead and let it whack you one right where it might do the most good. Your ass is evidently where you're storing your brain, as you evidently aren't putting it to any other use.

27. It's too hard to communicate with people who have IQ's in the low 60s.

Just consider the source and ignore them!

[EFerrari]

29. I think we have an answer to the OP's question.

:rofl:

[Solly Mack]

31. Awfully obliging of him wasn't it?

[proud patriot]

34. Only so much as to

use their own talking points to slam their hypocisy in their face :evilgrin:

[TreasonousBastard]

38. Alas, I missed the troll, but in answer to...

the original question-- it was rhetorical, nu?

Some people are simply not worth responding to. Even if you are considering answering for the benefit of some lurkers you see as judges in a contest, or for their edification, it is not worth it. Everyone whose opnion counts already sees them for what they are.

[judaspriestess]

39. darn I missed the rest of the comments from the troll

:(

[IDemo]

40. They need to add a troll vault here

so folks can sift through a few entertaining words from the spell checkless when things are slow.

[Old and In the Way]

42. I agree....a forum dedicated to the "Cutting Edge Thinking of the Republican Supporter"

This guy's post was a perfect example of why we should have IQ tests before letting people vote. :rofl:
Seriously, don't these people realize how simplistic and silly they are to post such mindless drivel here? They do "their side" no favors trying to defend their Party here with posts like that...they just reaffirm what we already know - you got to be an idiot to vote against your best interests.

[Hubert Flottz]

43. No, because...

If they Still support Bush, they are brain-dead!
