I AM Relevant, Dammit!

[Little Red Dog]

Methinks Gentle Leader protesteth too much...

In blithe disregard of his poll numbers circling the drain, Geo the Lesser insists he is still "relevant" - and intends to remain so. Furthermore, he doesn't intend to let a few hundred thousand poor, sick children stand in the way of his intent.

So at today's White House press conference, when asked why he allowed SCHIP to even get to the veto stage, Geo the Lesser, as usual, blamed the Democrats.

Ignoring the fact that this was one of the rare bills that had bi-partisan support, and that the President serves at the pleasure of the people (whom the legislative branch represents), our stalwart incumbent numbnuts resolutely declared:

"...That's why the President has a veto. Sometimes the legislative branch wants to go on without the President, pass pieces of legislation, and the President then can use the veto to make sure he's a part of the process. And that's -- as you know, I fully intend to do. I want to make sure -- and that's why, when I tell you I'm going to sprint to the finish, and finish this job strong, that's one way to ensure that I am relevant; that's one way to sure that I am in the process. And I intend to use the veto."

After making clear his intention to shanghai the will of the people at whim, Geo the Lesser went on to elaborate on his all-consuming desire for "relevancy" at the expense of unity and cooperation. Again ignoring his 24% approval rating, he said:

"Q: Do you feel as if you're -- do you feel as if you're losing leverage, and that you're becoming increasingly irrelevant? And what can you do about that to --

THE PRESIDENT: Quite the contrary. I've never felt more engaged and more capable of helping people recognize -- American people recognize that there's a lot of unfinished business. And I'm really looking forward to the next 15 months. I'm looking forward to getting some things done for the American people. And if it doesn't get done, I'm looking forward to reminding people as to why it's not getting done."

Hard as it is to see how someone with a 24% approval rating could feel "engaged and capable" of "helping people recognize" anything, these remarks will no doubt draw suitable accolades from The Optimists Society. Perhaps it is they to whom he speaks.

For the rest of the country, however, things don't look so rosy. To the end, Geo the Lesser isn't going to make good on his inaugural promise to be "a Uniter". Perhaps if those poor, sick children had been rich, sick children...

Heard an interesting bit on NPR toady. Bush was asked if he thought Putin would step down as mandated by Russia's new constitution. Bush said, as only Bush can say that he didn't know if Putin would or will step down and the really part, Bush has thought of not turning over the office in '09 as well.

Is he floating a trial balloon or pulling the leg of his detractors who now number an effective majority (66%) of the people?

[Nuclearian]

His approval rating is actually 36%, but shows what you know of the American people. The people approval of CONGRESS is 26%. You know? Those demonrats? So complain about Bush all you want. He may not be the best, but he is better than any demonrat.

Because he is the best of all the evils running. As far as mentally handicapped? That is the gift of you dumbocraps. You bitch about taxes, but vote for the taxers. You bitch about rights being taken away, and you vote for the dumbo's you take it away. You lose elections, and you try to steal them. Mentally handicapped, and pathetically corrupt? The mark of the CORRUPT Dumbocrap party members

It must be a burden to have those crystal balls. :lmao2:

But tell me, oh great prophet, why didn't you warn us of the impending doom of this current worthless administration. Why didn't you let people know that our $200 Billion surplus would become a $1 TRILLION deficit? Why didn't you warn us about the death and destruction the neo-cons would inflict on a country who did us no harm? Why didn't you alert us to the disgusting onslaught the Republican Congress would execute on our Constitution?

I believe I already know the answer. Could it be because you are a conservative and therefore.... no balls at all?

Look at what his daddy did the last 2 months of his presidency. That should give you a good idea of what Dubya will do.

Why is everyone so concerned about Hillary's corruption? Dubya and Cheney have a history of being far more corrupt then she's ever been yet people still voted for them.

Dubya's family and Fred were heavily involved and profited greatly from the S&L crisis decades ago. That really hurt a lot of normal people. Enron execs were and still are friend's with the two men in the administration. $10 of billions have been waisted on friends of the administration in Iraq and their friend's corporations have seen record profits.

Will Hillary grab her share of the loot? Of course. They all will but no one running (except for maybe Fred) will come any where close to doing what our current folks have been doing.

Pay attention to the facts that already exist instead of the commentary from Fox and Rush. There's a lot to learn.

If you're going to support these guys in office now, you have to come up with better reasons to not like the alternatives.

[Moby]

The more I think about these statements and his attitude towards Democracy and the American people the more that I think it's sad that he hates America so much that he puts his own personal ego ahead of all of us.

LOL.... this is hilarious. If Bush's approval rating in October is 24%, then that means he is 1% below the Nazi's approval rating in a recent poll.

" Pollsters for the Forsa agency, commissioned by the weekly magazine Stern, asked whether National Socialism also had some "good sides (such as) the construction of the highway system, the elimination of unemployment, the low criminality rate (and) the encouragement of the family."

Forsa said 25 percent responded "yes"—but 70 percent said "no."

Stern commissioned the survey, conducted Oct. 11-12, after Germany's NDR public broadcaster last month fired talk show host Eva Herman over comments she made about the Third Reich".

Actually I did transgress in my youth and bought into the Reagan doctrine during the first term. I also served as an assistant press secretary to the former Progressive Conservative Prime Minister of Canada, Brian M. Mulroney in 1976. He lost in '76 but later won without my direct help:disbelief:

My rethinking began about 1983 with asset foreiture pre-conviction upon a mere allegation. Seems to me a total violation of the 4th & 5th amendments. My move to the left was complete when Bill Clinton proved that you can raise taxes in a recession and with fiscal integrity and transparency, the responsible spending priorities, pull us out of recession.

I watched during the 1990's as Jean Chretien of Canada and Bill Clinton of the USA, two great fiscal conservatives, restored economic stability, relative peace and prosperity and value to their respective currencies by balancing their respective budgets. Something conservatives quit advocating under Reagan and supply side economics advocated by Art Laffer.

To paraphrase Reagan, a former Democrat who switched to Republican, "I don't think I left the Republicans so as much as they left me."

I now vote Green Party unless there is a compelling reason or lack of a Green Party candidate, then I vote Democrat.

I would consider voting Republican again but only if they were to put forward a genuine conservative like I dunno say Theodore Roosevelt. I really admire him for breaking up crony capitalism in his day and creating our National Park system. As long as Republicans put forward religious/social fascists and spend us into bankruptcy I'll never consider voting for one.

I ask of all politicians, "Don't tell me what your priorities are, show me your budget and I'll tell you what your priorities are."

[disrupter]

I never supported Reagan but cynically thought i could profit from him.

Reagan brought you unstable, topheavy, roll-over prone SUVs & blocked the government data that spelled it out for consumers. If you die or are maimed in an SUV rollover, thank Reagan for that. If you buy one demand a flipping rollbar at least for your gas hog.

He fired, air traffic controllers, one of the most stressful jobs around.

He presided over the diminishment of the middle class & the unprecedented rise of criminal joy-riding capitalism.

Apologies to Nancy, but Reagan is a piece of shit, who a lot of idiots herald as Saint.

Gorbachev is the one who dismantled the Old Soviet Union, because he was basically a good guy. President Ford helped by negotiating nuclear treaties. Reagan was a good actor, play acting hero who got a lot of undue credit.

Ugh! Just thinking about it makes me want to throw up.

[stefan segal]

Ron Paul is good for government...but bad for people. I believe him to be honest...which is something for a repug, but his true beliefs would sink social benifits...a responsibility of all nations of size and industry...although conservatives can't seem to get past their "hooray for me" positions.

I fear the dems are being led down the garden path...our choices are being designed for us between a woman and a black...both of which has built in resistance...and hence are both handicapped.

It could work out in the primaries to everyones benifit by neutralizing those two against each other, and electing Edwards...but I don't hold out much hope about going aginst the DC politial machine.

The repugs are doing their best to kill thier best hope in Ron Paul...the rest of their crew don't have the legs ( or the repretation) to go the distance...but Paul won't take the primary race.

If he does...then the repugs will have a good chance against clinton or obama.

You seem to be a fairly smart, if not deluded "now" democrat, but there are errors in your argument on a couple of things.
1. Klinton did not give us fiscal responsibility and NO recession. Think back right after Bush FIRST got elected. The country immediately went towards a recession. If you are fiscally smart, as i perceive you to be, you know that it takes time for BAD policies to work its way through the system, UNLESS the screw up was an immediate big mistake. Thus, Bush SR gave Klintoon the good economy, and Bush Jr inherited the recession coming about DUE TO klintons eight years of fiscal irresponsibility.
I judge good fiscal policies based on how much I can purchase with my small amount of dollars. I am in the military, so you can imagine that I am NOT a wealthy man, but my dollars went FURTHER under Bush Jr, and got less and less under Klintoon.
2. The Reps are not spending us into bankruptcy. The war against terrorism which started because of Klintoons inaction against terrorism, and Bush Jrs WILLINGNESS to actually attack those who attack us rather than just "take it" as Klintoon did, is an expensive but unfortunately NECESSARY thing.
3. As far as Reps being controlled by Religious and social fascists? Lets not forget that it has been the dumbocrp minded Judges that somehow thought the Constitution says its okay to MURDER babies because to stop it was a violation of a womans privacy. Never mind the Constitution says that EVRYBODY has the right to LIFE.... Hitler started with murdering those whom he thought a"burden". The democraps are doing the same fascist tactics like the Nazi's did in this regard.
As far as the religious fascists? This country was founded on CHRISTIAN values, NOT murderous islamic values which the dems seem to want to allow, while denying Christian values. Case in point being Islamic studies in our universities, but NOT allowing anything Christian in the universities. Freedom FROM religion means freedom from ALL religions, not just Christian ones. Also, the Constitution never stated the separation of church and state. It just says that you cannot make a religion more important than another religion.

Hopefully this helps you get back on the RIGHT path, right to the right wing of the Republican Party where your philosophy OBVIOUSLY lie, but you perceive it to NOT be.

Anyone who quotes Anorexic Ann isn't worth the shit stuck to his anal hairs, as Nuclearian clearly demonstrates. None of these low-life conservative Republican assclowns is.

And remember that Clinton left us a $200 Billion surplus that was soon consumed by this strutting Texan mountebank, with his chimpanzee smirk and his born-again banalities delivered in that constipated syntax that sounds the way cold cheeseburgers look, and his grinning plastic wife, and his scheming junta of neo-con spivs, shamans, flatterers and armchair warmongers, and his sinuous evasions and his brazen lies, and his sleight of hand theft from the American poor, and his rape of the environment, and his lethal conviction that the world must submit to his Pax Americana or be bombed into charcoal.

These clueless conservatives should censure Coulter for her disgusting behavior, but they are all to gutless. Myself, I like it when Ann talks. She demonstrates to the American public just how revolting and vulgar conservatism is, and how Republicans embrace this special kind of hate.
