[Hangtime]

i remember when michael j. fox was in a sitcom and played the lone republican in a family of loonie lefties.

dunno where that came from, just thought i'd share a time when republicans were funny and harmless.

HAHA! Family Ties. Did you see the episode when the parents decided to get back to their activist roots because they found an old issue of the Scavenger? They wouldn't let the kids eat English Muffins because of the occupation of Northern Ireland.

Who could have predicted that years later Freedom Fries would be on the menu of your local patriotic cafeteria?

I assume there are some sensible realists in the left-wing, even though I don't know any personally. If I said otherwise or called Al Sharpton "their tool", it would be a pretty broad stroke.

Do a Google search on "2004 election christians."

4,160,000 returns, with "Evangelicals Say They Led Charge For the GOP" as the number one entry.

Nobody could possibly forget the pundits trying to make sense out of the election result, and landing firmly on Rove's use of the religious base, could they?

What about 'Justice Sunday (1, 2, 3... what's it up to now anyways?') where every dirtbag politician now has to potato themselves out to these wingnuts lest they get put in the dog house like Frist.

This aint a broad stroke, VOR, this is a pointed hammer arcing down and smacking you square in the forehead.

Yes Nash, I'm sure W was elected because evangelicals prayed for it. Maybe even 4,160,000 of them who subsequently made their own hallelujah victory web page.

Maybe not.

There's nothing new about politicians pandering votes from their target audiences. That's politics. The caveat here is to not take things at face value. (Except for Robertson, whom you probably can safely take at face value.)

[Nash]

Oh, "it's just politics."

La la la la... trallady da, sings you, whilst asking us to forgive your horrible pitch due to the fact that you are singing it whilst covering your ears.

Just politics? Hello? Of course it is! Is that a rebuttle to a political argument - that it is in fact politics - or an exit plan as botched as just about every damned thing this administration has ever touched?

It's just politics... That's supposed to be a newsflash?

"The caveat here is to not take things at face value."

Is that right? Because you haven't given anyone here one single iota of evidence to why that even applies here.

That gave pettyness a whole new meaning.

Pat isn't just a moron he's a religious moron. He's also an hypocrite. He's for making laws based on his religious beliefs but oppose those based on other religions. If its good for you then it's also good for them, sorry Pat.

A big dumb dinosaur that should have died 65 million years ago.

[Nash]

Uh, I thought that since I was talking to Yeager, that when I said "your" it would be taken as "Yeager's."

Sorry if that was so ambiguous for some.

I can do the Moonwalk, but I sure as hell can't dance.

And I don't stick by everything I've ever said. Been known to change my mind. That's not happening here.

[VOR]

Nash, even atheists (like me) vote republican.

Anyway, carve another notch in your gunbelt...I'll concede the argument. I'm smart enough to know when I've been outmaneuvered in an internet game of wits.

[Nash]

Yes!



I'd ask you how you feel about the hyjacking of your party, but.... That'd just be politics.

[VOR]

Wether it's been hijacked or not is an issue I don't have the energy to get into, but hypothetically even if it had, it's temporary like everything else.

[Nash]

Alrighty.

By "your tool", I was speaking of the right wing, and their eagerness to hop into bed with folks like this and let them dismantle everything the Republicans were supposed to be about - and waking up to a nightmare of their own bloody making.

Not "your's" as in the collective American's.

Alot of you guys happen to be decent people and you make excellent porn.

C'mon Nash.  Do we really have to compare party tools here?  You guys got your fair share.  The left is riddled with them so bad they can't pick a king tool except for Dean....and still can't get there tool filled message out.

Ok ok enough about the Left, Robertson is a righty.  Yes he's a tool.  Sometimes we aren't proud of our tools but, sometimes you have to keep your tools on the wall in the shed ready for use if you ever need it.  I allways like to say the right tool for the right job.  

[Nash]

Ah, those crazy Christian fundamentalists...



Wacky, those guys.

But, it turns out, most helpful when it comes to winning an election.

Guess what? You signed a deal with the devil.

And the Devil? He aint some punk like T. Soprano, chucking your useless self off of a boat with cement boots or bouncing your head off of a kitchen floor. It's cruel, but at least it's personal.

No... This guy, the devil, he is way different.

Like the cop who uses the arrested punk to get at the next higher up, who then snitches on the next higher up, to get at the next higher up.... Well, the next thing ya know the whole entire thing goes down in flames.

In this case, we aint talking about a drug ring. We're talking about a great country.

Lets not even pretend that these guys didn't know what they were doing. If you think Bush and Rove are all "Praise be to Jesus" then I am telling you - real estate folks and swamp owners nation-wide want your phone number.

They invited them in, used em up, and are horrified now because they never even considered the possibility that THEY AREN'T GOING AWAY.

Man, this is Shakespearean comedy if you tilt your head at the right angle.
