In your opinion, how is the multi-dimensional chess game working out?

1. This is kind of a push poll, but I'd like to hear more about the month of "Movember"

:hi:

[yurbud]

3. he meant Obamavember.

[branders seine]

7. just say no-vember

[pampango]

2. The republicans are playing it pretty well too by protesting against and unanimously voting against

any HCR which many here see as an "industry bill" to begin with. As multi-dimensional chess players they are either idiots (and don't know that idea of politics is to vote the interests of your constituents ) or incredibly smart always several moves ahead of Democrats and pretending to oppose a bill they secretly support while planning an even better bill when they get to "start over".

8. they do not care about the truth at all

they care only about conflict and using whatever issue there is (this crew of democrat-like politicians have chosen health care) as a bludgeon.

[yurbud]

10. I don't think the Republicans are really players in this. They are roadkill that is still twitching

They can obstruct and scare the corrupt Dems a bit but when the Dems had a supermajority, it would have made a lot more sense to twist the arms of the handful of uber-corrupt blue dogs and DLCers, over which the President and the party have some leverage, instead of trying to persuade Republicans over which they have no leverage.

4. The score is 16 to 2 to Blue to 6,012

I think that speaks for itself

[yurbud]

11. what?

[ClassWarrior]

5. Perfectly.

This is the part in the game where snarky assholes post worthless shit.

NGU.

6. You're right on time then.

12. BRAVO!

[laughingliberal]

18. Oh, touche! nt

[ClassWarrior]

19. See how that works?

:D :thumbsup:

NGU.

[branders seine]

9. snarky asshole?

worthless shit?

mirrors are tricky things.

[yurbud]

14. I like your illustration, but you assume that complaining isn't part of fixing.

the president and congress REPRESENT us, so they should expect and take our input into consideration, especially when polls show a consistent majority on one side of an issue and an overwhelming majority of their own party.

[ClassWarrior]

20. I totally agree. But how does that condone flamebait?

:shrug:

NGU.

[ClassWarrior]

23. And it doesn't say "Complain."

It says "Complain and give up." That's way different. If it just said "Complain," it'd count me right out.

And in the credit-where-due department, thanks for the kudos, but it's not my illustration. I borrowed it from another DUer, tho I don't remember who.

NGU.

13. Looks like it's doing a lot better than the teabagging.

[fascisthunter]

15. it's not only a disaster, it's a con job

[Echo In Light]

22. The bigger the lie...

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

16. Well, he's got the sacrificig pawns and caving-in tactics down pat.

[bridgit]

17. 3-D chess would be lovely, but this was always a job for Rube Goldberg

[branders seine]

21. don't you see?

that's the geeeeee-nius of it!

[Romulox]

24. It's a smashing success (from the perspective of international capital)
