Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

Well ... here's your latest cost estimate on the PelosiCare bill from the house. It's $1.2 trillion. Obamacare - More dangerous to America than terrorism? Robert Gibbs says the white house isn't concerned about the constitutionality of the takeover of health care.
Robert Gibbs makes me ashamed of my University.

Ford, the only Big Three auto maker not to take a government bailout, recorded a billion dollar profit, thanks largely to restructuring and renegotiating union contracts.
Good thing they're not making things like Trucks and SUVs that no one wants.

And then we get this news ... Taxpayers are unlikely to recover their full investment in General Motors or Chrysler.

Obama says he wants to get serious about creating jobs. Wait, wasn't that what his economic stimulus package was for?
pfft, clearly you know nothing about economics.

Have we figured out how to get a generator to run off all the schlong-waggling in this thread yet, or did someone sneak in some meaningful debate while I wasn't looking?
 
Yep it's election time, and the right automatically screams fraud. :pud:

Hey, that bridge was burned a long time ago. Some of us tried to cross it, but some asshole keeps cutting the ropes.

Oh, Rep. Virginia Foxx. If I had time, I'd start my blog of crazy shit people say with you, my dear.
Nah. She's just a despicable human being. Really the lowest of the low.

You can't go any further after you denounce the memory of a murder victim. In public. While the victim's mother is in the gallery.[/QUOTE]

Which is not what she did.

From your article -

"I also would like to point out that there was a bill -- the hate crimes bill that's called the Matthew Shepard bill is named after a very unfortunate incident that happened where a young man was killed, but we know that that young man was killed in the commitment of a robbery. It wasn't because he was gay. This -- the bill was named for him, hate crimes bill was named for him, but it's really a hoax that that continues to be used as an excuse for passing these bills," said Foxx.

You can argue whether or not she was wrong in ascertaining the motive of the murder (she said he was killed as part of the robbery and just so happened to be gay, not killed BECAUSE he was gay), but you paint a picture of Foxx extending her middle finger to the gallery and saying "Your fag son deserved to die!"

Not quite how it went down.

You linked Talking Points Memo. I'm going to remember that next time you accuse me of just parroting talking points. Grats on losing one of your favorite fallacious lines of attack.

Second of all - all but one of the items in that link are talking about ONE RACE. The one left out is from way back in 1993. Leftists called fraud in every election pretty much from 2000 to 2008. And you know it... because you've been right here screaming yourself hoarse about it since the day you registered.

This is really a textbook case of attempted distraction by the pot trying to call the kettle black

Late addition to today's links - Even Arianna Huffington wants to know what happened to the hope and change and audacity and whatnot?
 
Who says I'm losing anything? I'll link whatever I like and there's not a thing you can do about it. Because the truth BURRRRNNNNSSS.

Also this: The attempt to legalize cockfighting in WV casinos may have really just been a ploy to defeat a casino measure in Ohio. :Leyla:
The shit about legalizing casinos is Ohio is oddly enough the most heated political debating I've seen in years. I mean honestly... how often do you get people claiming Casinos Kill Families!

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M52Dep_Ht9I[/ame]

I mean honestly... it's a fucking casino. Yes, crime may go up. You know what? Crime is ALREADY out of control here in Ohio. A fucking Casino isn't going to make it much worse than it already is.
 
SUCK IT WINGNUTS!!

The GOP had held that seat since the 1850s. Not any more. The wingnuts has to butt in where they didn't belong and put up a puppet who knew *nothing* about the local issues, and didn't even live in the district. Handed the seat on a silver platter to the Democrat.

This was the race that mattered. The two governor races were done deals. This fail proves without a doubt that there is no one leading the right. They will surely destroy themselves in an avalanche of wingnuttery if they continue on this path.

Two governorships go over to the Republicans, and you gloat about a House race that wasn't a blowout by any stretch. OK then. None of the political observers out there seem to think that the governor races didn't matter.

Oh, and somehow I doubt that an avowed left-winger has conservatives' best interests at heart when you dispense such advice.
 
If it didn't matter, what the smurf were Gingrich, Palin, Pawlenty, Armey, Malkin, Limbaugh, and Beck doing there? It sure as hell mattered to them. Gloating over gaining a seat that would have easily gone red if the national wingnuttery had butted out? HELLS YEAH!

The governors races were done deals weeks ago. There were no surprises there. This was the battle for who leads the Republicans. The current answer is NO ONE. The infighting cost them the safest of all safe seats. Can you even grasp the significance of that?

What's amusing is that the NY-23 race was being billed as a battle between "moderates" and "far-right" Republicans. Calling Dede Scozzafava a "moderate" is being kind on an epic scale. She was endorsed by both ACORN and Andrew Martin, founder of the Daily Kos. She supported card check, the stimulus, and the Democrats' health-care reforms (although not the public option, to her credit.) After she dropped out, she wasted no time endorsing the Democrat. Folks, that's not a "moderate Republican," that's a liberal. The battle here isn't between rational people and Bible-thumping crazies like some would have you believe, it's to determine whether the Republicans want to continue being "Democrat Lite" or actually become a conservative party. Small government, liberty, personal responsibility, and devotion to the Constitution SHOULD be what the Republicans are for; they've strayed badly recently. Hopefully this gives them the swift kick in the ass they've been needing.

EDIT: Some of the quotes I've read online confirm my theory that the quickest way to be called "crazy" or a "wingnut" is to quote the Constitution or the Founding Fathers.
 
Andrew Martin, founder of the Daily Kos.
DKos was founded by Markos Moulitsas, FYI.

Unlikely, Hoffman was backed by folks who really don't care about any of that stuff as long as its a "Conservative" in office.

And by the way, actual voting records suggest that Scozzafava kind of was.
