Could we please have a moment of respectful silence to honor the passing

[branders seine]

of any semblence of a progressive domestic program?


Obama's neocon foreign occupation will cost enough to guarantee that we won't make any more noises about things like jobs programs or health care.



"Budget hawks" (a euphemism for regressives) are happy tonight!

3. Jobs or War

pick ONE

[avalonofmists]

4. I feel an unbearable sadness at this moment.

[WeDidIt]

5. Complete and total nonsensical bullshit.

The damned radical left hates Obama more than the Birthers.

Never thought I'd see the day.

[LakeSamish706]

12. I don't think that any on the left hate President Obama, but I sure think they hate...

what he stood for tonight. This increase in Afghanistan is insane at best.

[babylonsister]

21. You didn't listen then. I sensed some major threats he couldn't ignore. nt

[shadowknows69]

23. W "sensed" threats under every bed and table too.

Fuck the "War on Terror" boogeyman and shame on President Obama for using it.

[babylonsister]

28. If you don't recognize the differences in both men, I can't help you.

I feel sorry for you if you think President Obama is the same as asshole bush.

Did you learn nothing?

[shadowknows69]

30. I know what I heard tonight, and it sounded like a Bush "Terra" speech.

Just spoken better. I feel sorry for your obvious celebrity induced short sightedness.

[babylonsister]

31. This man took months to determine where he was going with the

vast knowledge he garnered. What I believe has nothing to do with short-sightedness, but faith in this president vs. the previous one who took no time at all.

Don't disparage my intelligence or his by your cheap swipes.

[Fumesucker]

25. Yup, anyone who would prefer jobs and health care to futile war is

Radical Left.. :eyes:

We aren't going to get jobs, we are however going to get mandated private health insurance.

Health care has to be "revenue neutral" but war can be "off budget".

Let us hope the Chinese keep loaning us money for our military adventures in the Graveyard of Empires.

The military-industrial-congressional complex is like a giant vampire squid wrapped around the face of our democracy, sucking every bit of sustenance out.

[Change has come]

27. You sound like the late OMC

Take your radical left bullshit and shove it up your ass. :hi:

16. Oh! You said "paid."

At first, I thought you said "laid."

[havocmom]

17. What the sister said

:thumbsup: for that

:thumbsdown: for the hit and run spammer yammer

[NYC_SKP]

18. FWIW, it did take my advice and post another dramatic thread...

This one's consistent, I give 'em that.

:eyes:

[babylonsister]

20. And totally transparent to me. I wonder...nah, I'd be a crappy mod! nt

[NYC_SKP]

22. .

Eh, IMHO "junior mods" don't have big duties, can't TS people or even lock threads.

So I think it's a low pressure duty for a first timer.

You'd be a great mod.

:P

[niyad]

14. as one of my friends put it, what, exactly, are we getting from these two wars?

[Individualist]

15. ...

[Lex]

19. and a moment of silence for those men & women yet to die in Afghanistan

in this senseless exercise in futility there

[shadowknows69]

24. .

[StarfarerBill]

26. And let us not forget the Afghans who will die in the years to come.

Civilians are always the greatest casualties of war.

[NoSheep]

29. You sound completely out of your mind.

[branders seine]

32. you sound like you are really ugly.

[spanone]

33. what, no comedy forum?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

34. It's gone the way of LBJ's Great Society. Dead and buried for a lost war.
