“q: name for me ONE piece of Republican legislation that benefited an individual MORE than it benefited a company?”

You didn’t say one piece of legistlation that passed.

Definitely touched a nerve there Jairez. Haven’t heard that tone from Edgar since he knew he had lost re. the gay issues.

Desperation I tell you, desperation. Not pretty.

But pretty delightful, actually

Edgar … I owe you an apology as I wasn’t aware that had passed. Oh, wait a sec ….. no, I’m wrong - that in fact did NOT pass. JTFC - “keep up with the times, Jethro.” How many do I have to tell ya?

Dude, your party has been in control of congress since roughly 1994, with a free pass from 2001 - 2007. And as I surmised … you’ve got nothing.

Time for the do-nothing party to get the hell out of the way so I can have my country back. Again, to quote Patton, “Either become part of the solution, or part of the pavement.”

(who just happens to be right. OUCH … that’s gott hurt )

“Religious extremist war monger cronies that call themselves Republicans today are borderline treasonous, lead by our generation’s Goebbles, Rush Limbaugh. Lincoln did help people. Your party today…”

Dont go too far with lincoln perk. If one wanted to, one could demonize him easily. All you have to say is that lincoln was responsible for the deaths of more americans than hitler etc…

You could say that lincoln was inept because he failed to achieve his objectives through purely diplomatic means and instead “RUSHED” to war.

There were a lot of people who HATED lincoln back then obviously as the dead were piled up high into the sky.

So don’t go kissing his fuc%^ng ass too much because he’s still a republican.

Slavery was the hot moral issue at the time and hundreds of thousands died fighting on either side of the cause. Imagine if Bush had presided over a civil war that erupted over a modern moral issue ie abortion.

@Jairez the dork

What about John Mcain’s recent immigration proposal? What did everyone call it? The amnesty bill or something.

What about when Reagan gave amnesty to illegals in the 80’s. Jairez, it’s silly to say that every republican is the same. You should know better.

At least Bush wasn’t like liberal democrat FDR who rounded up all the Japs and herded them like cattle. You want to talk about the erosion of civil rights? Forget about the Patriot act, look at FDR, the greatest liberal of all time.

Dorks….

100 years, 150 years…whatever!?

That’s what Jairez means by selfish. And he is SPOT ON.

You think that their policies really are designed to help you succeed? Bullshit. They are in place to help THEM hold power and money. They need you to be their voice box (which you do with admirable, if robotic, abandon) because if people really knew what their designs were they’d be kicked to the curb - if not drawn and quartered.

@ Obama and Republicans in his cabinet: because unlike your side, Edgar, we choose to at least ATTEMPT respect for you views. Obama has tried, repeatedly and moreso than any president in recent memory, to extend a hand across the aisle - only to have it snapped at by spoil-sport plutocrats that want it their way or the highway. Period of post-partisanship? That was OUR dream, not yours. It is only in your vocabulary at the moment because you can have it all your way.

Please don’t tell me you’re a Republican/Conservative because of Lincoln’s actions? That would be no more appropriate than someone joining the military because they were really fond of Sherman.

Something a bit more recent would be good. Thanks.
