Cynical Nation

Hey Barry,
I dont think it works. You have to be a (big time) mazochist to vote for GOP in this election. I think the democratic victory will be larger than it looks now in the polls.

P.S. Oh, and by the way, Nancy Pelosi is 100 times better than George Bush, 1000 times better than Dick Cheney and 10000 times better than Donald Rumsfeld.

Thanks for the numbers, Blue. BTW, with quantitative analysis like that, you could get a job at Lancet.

Much better than Fox News or the national enquirer :)

> Much better than Fox News or the national enquirer

Yes. 1,000,000,000,000,000 times better, in fact.

"Yes. 1,000,000,000,000,000 times better, in fact."

Nope, wrong calculations. It is actualy 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times better :)

Ah Barry, can't you just feel the optimism by the blind squirrels who think this is their year to finally find that acorn?

You know what I always love about the Dems this time of year, don't you?:

The old Citizen Kane double -sided page one issue (adjusted for our friends here):

"DEMS TRIUMPHANT!"

[Flip side]

"FRAUD AT THE POLLS!"

They have all sides covered - or so they think.

As their poll numbers continue to shrink, they will start with their mantra about Diebold, Florida and Ohio.

Why?

Because they are incapable of introspection.

I oughta know. I did it for 28 years as one of them.

Anyone with half a brain will vote against the current fascists in office.

Anyone with a whole brain will vote against the party of Pelosi.

Repugs have nothing to run on, so they run against Pelosi.

Classic.

LOL!

Classic WF!

Barely, it seems as though you've come up a half short in the brain department, once again.

So, when Rush Limbaugh says he can defeat liberals with half his brain tied behind his back, I could burn him good by saying, "Hyuk! I could beat YOU with my WHOLE BRAIN tied behind my back! Hyuk!"

Your idea of clever is about as refined as your idea of a leader.

Does Limbaugh say that?

Somehow I doubt that.

Well, I'd say that's foolish only because it's impossible to "tie any part of one's brain behind one's back," BUT "tying one's entire brain behind one's back" would leave us dead, as it would eliminate the autonomic functions (breathing, heart rate, digestion, etc) carried out by the brain stem.

See?

That's the kind of concrete operational thinking that undermines your "logic," such as it is.

It's also part of the reason I have an increasing suspicion that you are in fact some sort of foreigner, very possibly Arab, almost certainly Muslim, since those dopes are also prone to such concrete operational thinking.

Concrete operational thinking, and you're from Michigan (a hotbed of radicalized Arab-Muslims)...I don't know how much more circumstantial evidence is needed...

As usual, Bailey is incorrect.

This is exactly what Limbaugh often says when coming off a commercial break:

"Rush Limbaugh: half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair!"

He doesn't single out liberals on this.

His phrase about liberals is this:

"I know these people, folks, I know them like I know every square inch of my glorious naked body!"

Bailey, next time try to get it right.

It would be a refreshing change.

Sorry, I don't memorize Rush Scripture the way you do, mainly because the man is a boob. In fact, he has man-boobs.

His comment clearly implied that he was being "fair" to his opponents, which are "the liberals". I know this is "smart person" type thinking beyond your capabilities though, so I'll just feel sorry for you.

Trust me, Bailey, nothing you have written is beyond my understanding.

I still remember fifth grade fondly and think of it often whenever I read your misspelled sophomoric diatriabes.

You misspelled "diatribes".

The problem BH is that your dogmatic - you try and retro-fit facts to support your often inane contentions.

The H-1B visa program was expanded by the Democrats in the early '90s, a Democratic Presdient twice signed off on Congressional increases in the cap (from 65,000 to 115,000 in 1996 and from 115,000 to 195,000 in 2000)...the current Congress, along with the current administration reduced the cap back down to 65,000/year.

Interrogations "under duress" are NOT considered "torture" and never have been...and the SC will almost undoubtedly uphold the new guidleines Congress just passed.

When such facts are exposed you often get frustrated and petulant and that's among the reasons why folks like Mal and others rarely respond to you.

You are lying, retarded or both. I vote for both.

Japanese who used "waterboarding" on American troops in WWII were convicted of War Crimes.

We are waterboarding. It is torture.

This is NOT my opinion...I repeat, this is NOT my opinion.

I refuse to condemn, nor condone "duress"...that's all I can say about that.

My above statement, "interrogations under duress are not considered 'torture' " is the opinion of numerous U.S. courts...and recently the U.S. Congress.

The NYPD interrogated a suspect who'd shot at a cop by trying telephone books around that guy's head and "cracking him with a Louisville Slugger."

It WORKED!

Again, I'm not in a position where I can either condemn nor condone such activity. My own personal opinions are immaterial anyway. What's vital is how the courts have ruled and what Congress has legislated and they've both voiced the opinion that "duress is not torture."

Please stop arguing over things you know little about.
