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.

The Democrat Thread
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.

Iran Shuts Out GMail
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.

Iran Shuts Out GMail
internet has apparently slow to terrible for a week there. I don't know if videos/tweets will get out like they have on previous days, but I'll start a thread soon for all the developments. A lot of brave YOUNG people are putting their lives at risk for the hope that the future generations have a democratic Iran (And I think as a secular democracy, Iran would be the most effective and vibrant in the ME) BUt tomorrow will also show whether brutal oppression will win out the way it did in China. I don't believe the hangings did anything to really deter the green movement, but pro-gov't militias will be doing very devious s*** tomorrow. I have to wonder what Mousavi will do tomorrow. With his nephew being killed, if he continues to try and not be too much of an agitator, or if he really stands up tomorrow. This is just another step in a long process, but I hope this is the beginning of bringing the tyrants to their knees, and not the beginning of another example of how to crush insurrection.

The Democrat Thread
also balta, you are confusing wanting to be in power with wanting to be in power and govern. Republicans aren't interested in governing, they are interested in elections, putting all their friends from evangelical colleges with no experience into important positions, and then using a bunch of terse, inciteful rhetoric. And start wars. They love imperialism. That's why you had a FEMA unprepared for it's purpose, a dept. of the interior more concerned with doing blow and having blow-sex, and EPA heads who just thought it was LOL-funny.

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Feb 10, 2010 -> 07:01 AM) Yup. Hank Rearden annoyed me too. Anyways, I'll go with Travis in Taxi Driver too. One of my favorite movies. Was kinda thinking of another one of my favorite movies, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, but I dunno if it fits and, sadly, I haven't read the novel... the fact that Rand couldn't even make her protagonists anything but insufferable says a lot more about her than the world she's dictating to.
