QUOTE (Cknolls @ Feb 11, 2010 -> 03:46 PM) Well we know they cannot sell their interest in GM for a profit because GM would have to have an all time high mkt cap in order for that to come to fruition, and methinks if it didn't happen in the boom years for GM, it will not happen now. Unless we get the CBO to do their analysys and maybe the WH budget office to give their take, then we'll probably make $50 billion on the deal. Ahh, yes. The CBO is of course a democrat institution now. the whole world is against you all. The whole world. You have no power. You poor blokes.

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Feb 11, 2010 -> 03:48 PM) Well the 2 largest budget deficits did occur with a Democratic Congress. and why would that be CK? Pray tell, if Obama came in under a budget surplus of bush (and also without 2 wars), instead of a crippling recession, do you think it would have been the biggest deficit ever? Could it possibly be that revenues are much lower than they would be? You are good with money, you should be able to figure it out.

the basiji will not turn on the government they are just a bunch of thugs. Today was a major blow. I think this is the last gasp and it wasn't a big one. Reports are that Mousavi's wife was beaten up. And the complete control of buses and security forces beating the crowd with chains was enough to do it in. Hundreds arrested, only. The already small odds are likely miniscule now.

Oh, no i full support my statement that the southern people offer nothing productive to this country besides anti-muslim, anti-mexican rhetoric. And, yeah so where do the republicans disagree on torture? Show me where they don't want to torture?

I don't recall calling you a bucktoothed unedumacated southern bumpkin. Those words are beneath me. Sadly, you can't refute anything. Party of torture. Party of fiscal irresponsibility.

Morally ambiguous characters
QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Feb 11, 2010 -> 01:52 AM) McNulty on "The Wire" and Boner on "Growing Pains." I've been thinking of writing this one. I think it has to be McNulty seasons 1-3 because season 4 he's perfect and season 5 he's a complete mess. I Hated it. But Seasons 1-3 for sure. Do personal moral failings discount the heroism he showed in his altruistic job? I unno. I don't know how you look at characters like that with deep moral failings but help so many people. But, FDR and such.

The Democrat Thread
QUOTE (kapkomet @ Feb 11, 2010 -> 01:34 AM) The point is, if they suck, at least be correct in your falsifying. Republicans do suck, but the righteous "Dems are better" is crap. I wrote accurately why the republicans suck. The dems may be inept, but at least they TRY to govern. They are TRYING to address a huge problem in health care. They are TRYING to address a huge environmental problem. They are TRYING to solve a 2 war problem. The republicans are just masturbating to it.

Republicans are in support of torture. Scott brown said he approves of waterboarding. John McCain I'd bet my left ass cheek now supports torture.

No kap, I didn't miss the point. I'm saying your point is predictable and stupid. Say negative about the republicans. Kap response: "OOohhhooHHHHHH the DEMS are SOOoooOOOO GREEEEAAAAAATTTT nananananana" Say something positive about democrats. Kap response "RIIIIGHHHT because the dems NEEEEVVER do wrong when they HIKE UP ALL OF OUR TAXES until our economy is that of HAITI" and so on and so on.

If they wanted to take over you and your property, I'd fully support it. I truly hate how they could have extended unemployment benefits, that truly must have hurt you and yours. And since they SO WANTED SOOOO BADLY to take over the health care system, the bill proposed pushes 30 million new customers on to them as long as they don't deny. But that doesn't matter kap, everything is equal. If the dems want to (SHOCK!) raise taxes to help raise for the programs the country wants (Medicare, Medicaid) and the the country needs (War Funding) = taking over your property. You really think they won't sell off their interest in GM any taken over company as soon as they can? No you don't. But hey, work hard for those great republicans to go cut taxes and raise defense spending and don't do anything else (except maybe anything the christian base finds immoral). That will solve soooo many problems.

The Democrat Thread
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 10, 2010 -> 07:30 PM) JIMB was right about both parties being all about power and not governing, though. This is just kind of a throwaway statement. The point is about one party not really care about governing, is when the republicans had their turn at a health care initiative, they passed medicare part D, a COMPLETELy unfunded bill to gain favor with old people. Now the dems take on a bill that will provide for 30 million, though many in southern states that refuse to acknowledge how federally subsidized they are, and they not only take on the trying to provide health insurance, but made cuts in medicare to make it a bill to bend the cost curve. And meanwhile? The repubs offer a bill with the soundbites "COSTS LESS" but does nothing, say that the other bill is full of death panels and other outrageous s***...and what is their platform right now? Tax cuts. Cutting discretionary spending. Torture. i.e. elect us, we won't make you think.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 10, 2010 -> 10:47 PM) In order for this to really happen, the military has to lose belief in the clerics. Has there been any signs of that actually happening? Its either that or someone like the CIA has to give massive amounts of support to very specific people in Iran, and I just can't see that happening right now. The point is not will there be a coup de tat tomorrow The point is will there still be huge protests despite the major crackdown that is occurring. And if high death tolls accumulate of civilians, and people STILL in the coming months proceed with this movement, then we'll see.
