    As usual, like you did during Clintons years, you are trying to put yourself in a position to decide exactly, who, how, when and in which manner one gets to disagree with your idols.

    As do you on your side. So f***ing what?

    Might as well resort to things like "So's your old man!" for all the substance either of you show in your sniping.

    But, everybody does it, that makes it okay, right? Kid's
    argument, for kids' level discourse. IT's the new form of
    such political discourse.

    And still they wonder why it is when it comes to the two
    major political parties in this country the whole thing is
    greeted with a big friggin' yawn by the rest of us out here.

    wE're doin' the limbaugh.

    "how low can ya go?"

    Perhaps they ought to listen to (and pay attention to) some good ol' rock & roll. Couple songs by a couple of my favourite performers seems to sum all of this up succinctly ...

    Here come the rich man, in his big long limousine
    Here come the poor man, all you got to have is green
    Here come the banker, and the lawyer and the cop
    One thing for certain it ain't never gonna stop
    When it all gets too heavy
    That's when they come and they go (they go)
    With only one thing in common
    They got the fire down below

    Yea, it happens out in Vegas, it happens in Moline
    On the blue blood streets of Boston
    Up in Berkeley and out in Queens
    And it went on yesterday and it's going on tonight
    Somewhere there's somebody ain't treatin' somebody right

    And especially this one:

    -+-

    I turn on the tube and what do I see
    A whole lotta people cryin' 'don't blame me'
    They point their crooked little fingers at everybody else
    Spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves
    Victim of this, victim of that
    Your momma's too thin; your daddy's too fat

    Get over it
    Get over it
    All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit
    Get over it, get over it

    You say you haven't been the same since you had your little crash
    But you might feel better if I gave you some cash
    The more I think about it, old billy was right
    Let's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight
    You don't want to work, you want to live like a king
    But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing

    Get over it
    Get over it
    If you don't want to play, then you might as well split
    Get over it, get over it

    It's like going to confession every time I hear you speak
    You're makin' the most of your losin' streak
    Some call it sick, but I call it weak

    You drag it around like a ball and chain
    You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain
    You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown
    Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody down
    Complain about the present and blame it on the past
    I'd like to find your inner child and kick it's little ass

    Get over it
    Get over it
    All this bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit
    Get over it, get over it

    Get over it
    Get over it
    It's gotta stop sometime, so why don't you quit
    Get over it, get over it

    Glenn Frey and Don Henley

    -+-

    And the song says "so why don't you quit?" and the reply is "I have to get in the last word." And it goes on and on and on and on ... to the point of nausea.

    ENJOY!!!

    Hello All!

    During the GWB administration, to criticize him was
    considered patriotism..

    During the Obama administration, to criticize him is
    considered either treasonous or racism..

    What gives?

    The perception of the viewer.

    During the GWB administration criticism was considered disloyal
    in wartime.

    During the Obama administration the most vile attacks are
    considered acceptable.

    GW Bush did not win the election in 2000, he was appointed by
    the supreme court. He did take the whitehouse by massive fraud
    in Florida, but even with that he did not win the state. The
    Supreme court had to halt the recount before Bush was declared
    the loser.

    And that is *NOT* even considering hanging chad. That is under
    Florida law as it was written at the time, which is what the
    Safe Haven law required.

    Obama clearly won the election. Yet the right is continuing to
    declare he is not the lawful president.

    Further, appeals to bigotry abound, esp religious bigotry, from
    the right. It is pitiful that the president of the US has to
    deny he is a Muslim as if there were something wrong with being
    Muslim.

    Hey, guess what... there is something wrong with being Christian
    if you are not Catholic. So there!

    There is no claim that to oppose Obama is racist, there is no
    doubt some of the opposition is racist. Live with it.
