I heard that NO!bama and the demicans presented an infomercial last night, the republicrats presented a response [[rebuttal?) and the tea-baggers responded to the response. Why hasn't there been an infomercia/rebuttal/response presented by [[real) libruls? Have [[real) libruls been hushed? Banished?
Sorry, guess I got this on the wrong thread.
I don't know there is a right thread for this.
SMH......
:confused:
1KielsonDrive.... you do realize that you're "verbage" is sounding surprisingly like Slimdog.... almost like a pair of bookends.... one on the left... one on the right....
.... and everyone else going Beserkely in the middle....
Could you please use some normal language, Rush Limbaugh?
Yes. Ever since 1972Quote:

Great question Ive been asking that for years. I know that in Canada and West European countries all five or more parties with elected seats are allowed to debate. Nader and other left of center parties got over a million votes in 00, 04 and 08.Supposedly we live in a free and democratic society....can some of the academics ...the political scientists and lawyers that post here elaborate on this? Why cant-shouldnt ALL points of view be allowed air time on national television?Quote:

Slimdog? Huh? Who that? Yes, my verbage is definitely on the left and on the right. Just kinda mocking those who place all the labels. Are there any real conservatives in today's debate? They've all been chased outta here. What are now being called 'libruls' are really the conservatives of old, but with much less, shall I say, 'gumption'?Quote:

The far-right has NO!bama pegged for what he really is - a sweet talker with absolutely no, ahhh, ummm, shall I say, 'gumption'?Quote:

I think Oh!No!bama needs a good frat style tea bagging after his dismal performance.
He did forget to mention that energy prices will go up, so he can put his green policies in place.
I don't know what to say I'm flattered. As they say imitation is the sincerest of flattery.

American politics have skewed so far to the right it's ridiculous. Obama is somewhere to the right of Nixon, yet he is seriously dubbed a "centrist." And the batshit-crazy rightists, who would have been laughed at in the 1970s, are now actually taken seriously as merely "to the right." All voices of serious leftism are silenced. Can you imagine somebody actually talking about ending unemployment with public works projects, reigning in the banks, nationalizing a few industries or ending a few of the "military conflicts" we're involved with? Nope, there is no place at the table for them. And if you are out of work, you are out of luck -- unless you're a wealthy banker who needs a leg up.
Watching almost any politician talk these days makes me want to end it all.
Thanks for the laugh Dnerd: "Obama is somewhere to the right of Nixon"
Then J.Kennedy must have been just right of George Bush.
gee whiz and boo hoo , someone called me slumdog and slimdog, what am i gonna do.
Ohbummer's spunknik moment blew up like a Challenger disaster. His speech was all over the place like blown up Challenger parts floating around space and full of lies and contradictions.
Ohbummer just threw out the high speed rail stuff to keep the left wingers happy. It won't happen.
Ever since you started posting here, you've struck me as somebody who doesn't know what he's talking about, more of a pot-stirrer, hoping to anger people he thinks are leftists or "left of me". Whatever. Your sparring posts remind me of having my kneecaps battered by some 3-year-old child. Do your worst, troll.Quote:

There are more distractions in the form of popular culture and electronic entertainment, coupled with an apathy and perpetual adolescence. Plus, many Americans are getting info from showboat personality types [[Mark Levin; Bil O'reilly; Glenn Beck; Michael Moore )who scream,clown and berate guests who call in to discuss issues. These personalities, left and right, live in a different world so to speak, and pretend to know what the average American wants and needs.
I know what I'm talking about.Quote:

I just post on a couple of political issues in non detroit and a couple of detroit issues that i;m interested in. Thinking I'm posting to agitate or make people angry is wrong.
I just disagree with a lot of the posts here but I will disagree with an idea, not the person, as the many seem to do to discredit someone.
Remember, Obama and the democrats are calling for a civil discourse and he wants to bring people together and be transparent. Can we disagree without being disagreeable.
Sticking to facts and leaving your opinion at home is a good start, gdogslim.Quote:
