Lounge of Tomorrow - The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

Well god damn the stupid fvcking Republicans and their teabagger friends. God damn our stupid fvcking spineless President. God damn this stupid fvcking country, with liberty and justice for white heterosexual males.

That's my random political thought for today. :mad:

What he said. :(

Yeah. Awful.

And for what? McCain said he'd support the repeal if the military said it was cool.

Military said it was. The report they all want isn't whether to repeal, it's *how* to repeal, how to change policies.

So step up.

Does the ruling out of the Federal Court effect this?

And this process of attaching unrelated things to bills needs to stop. Though it would be interesting to see what would happen if repealing DADT was attached to a bill extending tax breaks for the "rich".

That's true. It would be interesting to see who would cross the aisle in both directions.

Damn, I've been so busy with work lately I almost forgot there is an election coming up soon.

Fortunately, the press is glad to step in and remind me.

HIGH ALERT: NEW 'TERROR THREAT'

It wouldn't be good to go to the polls without a sense of fear and impeneding disaster looming.

Killing the False Equivalency "Both Sides" Meme

Quote:

Regardless of the motivations, an equivalency between "both sides" simply doesn't exist. But by being all-inclusive with criticism, the shotgun effect of the "both sides" meme taints the left with the far-right's exponentially crazier stink. A handful of trespasses on the left become inflated to and conflated with the the group-session-from-Cuckoo's-Nest meltdown happening on the right. Some legislative flailing on the Democratic side becomes incongruously magnified to the size of the all-out strangling of the U.S. Senate by the Republicans.

I'm sure many people on the left think that their trespasses aren't as bad as the trespasses of the right. I could (shock!) find just as many people on the right who would say the same thing in a vice versa sort of way.

I suppose that "all out strangling" by the right would be referred to as standing up for one's principles if on the left.

Yawn.

So, Leo, do you support the Republican obstruction of the Senate? Do you agree with DeMint's plan to put a hold on every single piece of legislation that he doesn't like? Can you name one Democrat that has ever threatened to do the same?
