[prolesunited]

Life will be so much better when the Republicans hold majorities in all three branches again.

[Vilis Veritas]

4. .

No Fear.

[bamafan]

5. Democrats.....

Yeah, and life would be better if we all won the Powerball. Anyone who wants more Republicans needs a date with a shrink, unless he is a CEO of a Fortune 500 company. The Demos as hamstrung in Congress by those Republicans who are afraid of joining their friends in the unemployment line this next election. Serve Mr. Republican another waffle, please.

7. uh - mr. newb -

that's called sarcasm.

ok - so maybe he should used this :sarcasm: - but surely it was obvious?

I guess not. :shrug:


edit to add: but what else can you expect from a BAMA fan! :eyes:

WAR EAGLE!!!!!!

:rofl:

[bamafan]

13. I hope you are a better Democrat than a football fan and that

isn't sarcasm. Since I don't know you, I just assume that you mean what you say. You need to change your handle to MR SARCASM so you won't be misunderstood. ROLLLL TIDE !!!!!!!!!

[mzteris]

15. not MR at all -

cain't yo read, boy?

That's MZ....

lol...

where'bouts you from, anyways?

[bamafan]

30. MZ Ma'am...

I be abouts from Bumingham. And where, MZ , are you from?

[mzteris]

33. Where'm I FROM?

Well, I was born in Georgia, but I spent my elementary school years in Enterprise, AL. That's when I became an Auburn fan. All the best kickball players were AUBURN fans, doncha know? Ipso facto and all that. B-)


I did have my collarbone broken at the Shades Valley YMCA in Birmingham, at a judo tournament, though.

I moved out of the state for highschool and college (Kentucky), and then lived in Mobile for about a year in 1980.

There were a couple of other states in there during the years - SC & OH.

Now if you meant, where am I now?

Well, I'm currently in Wisconsin and I've been here just over a year. Before that I lived in North Carolina for about 23 years.

[mzteris]

35. BTW -

Welcome to DU! :hi:

We don't get many Alabama democrats (the progressive kind) around here.

[noise]

8. Lets cheerlead

for Democrats. They deserve unconditional support.

[Coexist]

17. 1...2...3...4... We only pretend we'll end this war

5...6...7...8... you make up the rest, I'm tired!

[stimbox]

22. *Zing*

Is that you Moribund?

[C_U_L8R]

9. We are the Democrats.

They are our representatives.
If they've forgotten that,
then we can get new ones.

[Liberal In Texas]

10. Rather...Dump the DINOs. Go, work in the

precincts at grassroots. Politics is all local.

If you don't like the guy who has a D behind his name work for another.

[DaveJ]

11. Why do we always assume Not Democrat = Republican

I'm sick of this bipolar shit. Don't people realize other parties exist?

[Blue-Jay]

19. Yeah

And they hold so many national seats, too. Well, counting Lieberman.

[liberalmuse]

12. Oh HELL no!

I'm disappointed in them, and they're not much, but they're really all we've got. The alternative is just too hideous to contemplate. The Republicans are beyond redemption.

[fishnfla]

14. Lets get rid of skinner

revolutions in the air baby

[mzteris]

16. Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm
Into this house were born
Into this world were thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm

Theres a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If ya give this man a ride
Sweet memory will die
Killer on the road, yeah

Girl ya gotta love your man
Girl ya gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah

[bamafan]

32. Jim Morrison.....

Even an ole country boy like me enjoyed Jim Morrison.....I even remember the day he died. Do you?

[mzteris]

34. Yup.

I'm old. :(

Oh - and last I looked, B-ham wasn't "country". Though if you want to argue that the entire state of AL is, then you may have a point! :rofl:

[MatrixEscape]

18. This is a Yin and Yang deal.

It keeps us locked in a false hope that is proving to be more obvious over time. Unlike the days when TV and newspapers, plus a little gossip, were locked into place as the dominant myth making devices, people were more easily manipulated by a dualistic system that supported one ideal, ideology, and direction for the populace at large.

With loyalty to parties, no matter how entrenched they are, we find ourselves making more compromises in order to serve their agendas. And then, we find, that their agendas represent an agenda that is largely foreign to us, self-serving, and based on capitalistic goals that betray our needs, wants, and interests.

In the end, our dominance to what seems to be normal and natural and about choice, (since it has prevailed so long) turns out to be a form of placation and a sporting event were we are privileged to root for this or that, but have very little impact or say so on the plays being made. Neither do we participate in the bounty of the game that is being played over and above our heads as a people.

We merely get similar results over and over as the cycle goes round and around while one hand feeds the other in the supposedly warring parties we observe.

After all, the Yin and the Yang merely represent two, polar opposites that are actually manifestations of a oneness.

[Marr]

21. Right now, I can't think of any ways in which things would be different.

The Democrats in Congress seem intent upon losing, and they won't even exercise their ability to control the agenda. It's almost as if they have the same agenda as the Republicans.

[Hoof Hearted]

23. Two words.

Supreme Court.

[Marr]

27. Really?

You mean those guys the Democrats couldn't even be bothered to filibuster? The Federalist Society guys they pretty much all just agreed were swell fellas? You don't think they would've been confirmed if we'd had this Democratic Congress?

I think that's debatable.

[tom_paine]

26. I can give you one main difference that I can see: we now have verified information

about Bushie Felonies openly committee, which we long suspected so hard we already "knew" (and by "knew" I mean like all the German Jews "knew" about their version of Halliburton Camps springing up all over Eastern Europe, even though it was never on "Nazi CNN", whatever radio station that was in 1943), but that is not the same as the proof that the Democrats have uncovered and the numerous perjuries they forced Gonzales to make ON VIDEO TAPE and under OATH sinec january.

Sadly, what is the same is that, even with enough evidence already exposed to justify huge investigations (if anyone could be found to pursue them or Democrats to authorize actual criminal invstigations which are so clearly warranted now), nothing gets done.

So, in the realm of actions taken on important issue of unConstitutionality and Corruption, there has, in fact, been little or no difference at all between the 109th and 110th Imperial Congresses.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

24. Let's dump the politicians and any other "leaders".

The scourge of humanity that they are.

[KitchenWitch]

25. I have been seeing versions of this very sentiment on here all day

Thank you for being clear about it.

One could get whiplash the way the tide of emotions goes around here.

[Roxy66]

28. Ummm...no? I would vote for a toad before voted for a Repug

I will do everything in my power to help ANY Dem get into office!!!

[ToeBot]

29. I would but they jilted me along time ago. nt

[mmonk]

31. Or better yet, let's get in lock step behind our leaders

just like the republicans and never question.

[rucky]

36. People are pissed because we know we have no choice.

and they know it, too. so now they don't need to pander to the unwashed masses to win our votes, so we get to see them doing what they please. you may be okay with that, but the people who are pissed about it have every right to be.
