How far the Republican party has descended
-
So? After all the grief you assholes have given Bush, and someone is supposed to be outraged about this? Cry me a river... Take your outrage and stick it where the sun don't shine.
Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

:laugh: Poor Stan. I'm afraid you will really be foaming at the mouth in November.

And Gary Trudeau about Palin? You have to be kidding...... The Dems act all worried about decency when they are on the losing end. When some old folks in Florida can't figure out how to vote, its a scandal... When ACORN is being investigated in 14 states, Nancy Pelosi and crew want to provide them federal funding.
Uptight Ex-Military Republican married to a Commie Lib - How weird is that?

Why is it OK for the right, if it's not okay for the left?

You have got to be kidding! You're defending this?! The R's really are in meltdown. The Republican party is so intellectually barren that they have nothing to offer other that "Waterboard Obama". :rolleyes:

I don't have to suggest anything. There isn't a single Democratic Party website that advocates violence against McCain.

Defending not even close, just amazed at the indignation that Dems will heap on the Republicans while being just as nasty and intellectually dishonest. I don't think either party has the high ground here.

Please. We are butting heads with the kings of low. Who gives a shit? Stop grieving over insults to the left, they deserve it. That and a lot more.

Since I am asking an even-handed question, it makes no difference. You can, of course, play schoolyard games about "he started it!" if you wish, but I thought you might see the futility of that approach.

Congratulations, Mike. You have pissed off the left wing and the right wing with one post. You must be doing something right. :rose:

Nonsense. A radically leftist government (the kind guys like you would support) suits my purposes far better than would another milquetoast republican administration paying lipservice to conservative principles. It is a perfect time for conservatives to abandon the field to the left, fall back and regroup.

I don't think it is futile at all. It is precisely what we should be doing. Fuck the moral high ground.

Most nine year-olds don't.

f*** the moral high ground.
Behaving like an adult has nothing to do with any kind of high ground - though with your strong pro-Christian stands, it's difficult to see why you are so adamantly in favor of taking the low road - but rather it has to do with make sane choices that increase the chances of survival and growth for you and yours.

It matters not one whit how adult you try to act. When you are being drug down and getting the crap beat out of you by hoards of nine year olds, you have no choice but to fight back in kind. Lieing in a bloody heap proud of your maturity while your society is given over to the nine year olds is hardly a solution.

I don't know what you are talking about. Indignant over "Waterboard Obama"? It's no skin off my nose. I'm more than happy to see McCain and the Republicans go down in flames with their self-destructive negative campaign.

You can choose to believe that, of course, but most Americans seem to disagree with you.

Assuming that all of your opponets are as childish as you are is a great way of being send to your room without supper.

The dumbest thing you can do is fight back 'in kind.' Never, ever, let your opponent(s) determine the level of combat. If you decide that you need to fight, then you fight to win, using all necessary force - no more, and no less.

Exactly the kind of imaginative defense a nine-year old would offer to excuse his behavior. I didn't buy it from my kids, and I'm certainly not going to get swept up in your fantasies, either.

You really are going to be disappointed then. If Obama is elected you aren't going to see a radically leftist government. We have most definitely had a radical government for the last 8 years and, with any luck, we'll have a president Obama who will put that to an end.

Amen to that. The R's very much need to re-embrace conservative principles.
