I've yet to see a Pug sufficiently in shape to run from, or towards, anything, save Vietnam.  Pray, what are "core" beliefs?  Is book burning among them?

One of three things:

1- They break and show no time.  At this point it is less a clock and more a paperweight.

2- They reset to 12:00 and start keeping time from there.  In this case it is not stopped but inaccurate.

3- They just show 12:00 all the time, usually flashing.  In this case it is stopped and right twice a day.

Why I have several that flash "666:666:666"... wonder what THAT"S all about.  Still wrong, never right.

You have got to be joking!  “Centrists” in the Pug party are treated nearly as poorly as prisoners in Abu Ghraib.  “Centrists”?  As the party lurches to the right of… of… (think WWII) of… of… heil – I can’t think of the guys name… but lurch it does.  Why, your Very Own Brethren, Storebought, posted:

I read an article to which “storebought” had linked.  Disturbing is the word which comes to mind:

“If the lineup is intended to make an overwhelmingly conservative party attractive to swing voters, it does so by pretending to be something it's not.

Conservative Republicans should be asking why senators like Rick Santorum and Sam Brownback aren't enjoying the same public embrace as the New York Times' favorite Republican.”


Really?  Americans should wonder why they are in office.  American Taliban is what these two… these two… sh!t!  (think of WWII)… it was a political party… what was it called? Well, THAT”S who these two freaks bring to mind.  

I think you guys OUGHT to showcase your menagerie of freaks and perverts: come on, Pugs, show America your freaks!

Alfie,

Thanks for confirming what I've thought for such a long time which is you're a troll. I could argue with you which is what I was orginally going to do, but arguing with you would be a waste of time and energy based on your other posts which prove you have nothing to do but post senseless gibberish about "chicken hawk this, chickenhawk that" and have nothing really constructive to say about anything.

So I'll end this post with saying I hope you'll have an open mind and contribute to this forum in a positive way someday Alfie but sadly that doesn't seem likely.


Oh.  Okay.  Well, see you around campus, m'kay?

I MISS YOU!

"Achtung Pugs: one of your own is about to be called out.  There will be blood on the floor.  It will be distressing.  It will be violent.  Avoid a similar fate by keeping your mouths still.  Think of your children.  Think of your family.  That is all."

In all fairness, they "won" by 500 votes in Florida.  Of course, thousands of legitimately registered voters were not allowed to vote, mostly your basic African Americans of Democratic persuasion -- voters who supported Al Gore (something like 90%+) at the polls.  Of course, no one wants to talk about THAT; rather, they (Pugs) use the "side issue" of dangling chads, and this 'n that "butterfly ballots" and "stoopid voters don't know how to use a machine..."  

Fact is, the election was stolen, "fair and square", or so say Pugs, citing the alleged theft of the 1960 election by JFK.  Whatever.  Stolen is stolen, right?

So in waltzes the Thief, promising to govern with bipartisanship, only to stab the nation in the back as soon as he took office.  Evil, evil man!  Evil, evil party!  This election we Dems must cream Bush everywhere, relentlessly seeking voters to "pull" the lever straight Democratic -- all the way down the line, and in every polling place in the nation.

I fear what will become of America if Bush and his trash are "elected" again; I fear we may not have much of a country after two terms -- two "life sentences" of mismanagement, corruption, moral decay, misplaced values, and the gluttony of the entire Pug structure.   I feel like this nation is choking from the volume of lies and half-truths of this regime of rascals, rapists, radikals, and retro-nazis.

And when these merchants of mendacity attack our nominee for being "too liberal" or "too soft", let's remember that these Pugs will say and do anything to gang-bang our country.  Stopping them isn't only a duty; it is an imperative placed upon us by the founding fathers.  "One nation" we may not be, and "liberty and justice for all" are now mere words, but we can change that by countering these liars at every turn, by trucking zero lies, and by going toe to toe in every precinct in the land.  We can win, we must win, and we will win.  Then we build the gallows on the national Mall.  Payback is a b!tch -- and we learned that from them.

You know, Johnnie, you bring to my mind Jean Lecomte du Nouy's painting, "Dream of a Eunuch."  Lousy painting, shown in a dreary gallery here in Manhattan, but inspiring nonetheless.  Why?  All a Eunuch can do is dream, recall, and regret.  Does this "resonate" with you?


Read REAL slow, again.  You wrote:

"How dare we control the House, Senate, White House, the Supreme Court, the governorship of the four largest states in the union, and the majority of governorships?  How dare the majority agree with our views?"

I replied:

"I believe the National Socialist Party also enjoyed overwhelming popular support... for a time."

What was my point?  That lots of ugly governments -- lots of ugly leaders, too, including Hitler and Bush -- were popular, if for a short time.  That's the sum of my point.  Why must you drag "who shot Johann" and "League of Women Voters" and "I saw on Stalag 13"...  

Please!  The point was made, now deal with it.  Your overdone drama bidness is ineffective and tinny.

Johnnie "Fatwa" Ford writes;


"Second, turnout would have been higher in Texas, but not so much in New York because NY already had a major race of national importance to get them to the polls: The Clinton-Lazio Senate race.  Texas, on the other hand, was long ago decided and voters had little reason to go to the polls.  Texas is also larger the New York.

In fact, in counties won by Bush, there were 143 million people, and only 127 million in counties for Gore.  This tell sme that there were probably a lot more voters for Bush that stayed home than for Gore.
Granted, this is all speculation, and that goes back to my earlier point, that popular votes don't reflect the opinion of voters as much as they would if we had a truly national election.

As for the "issue voters vote Gore" line, I've heard it before.  Something tells me that very few people voted for Bush who didn't want a tax cut and very few people voted for Gore who didn't want bigger government.  People find politicians they agree with to be more likeable, but liberals tend not to admit that.  They always say it the issues, while conservatives see their worldview reflected in individuals and vote for this person because of this "likeability".  But really, it isn't likeability at all.[/b]

Couldn't agree more -- Thanks for sharing!

Johnnie's attempting to whistle past the graveyard of the 2000 fiasco.  Johnnie is blowing smoke.  Johnnie uses typical Pug tools of the trade as he endeavors to obfuscate, distract, divert, and undermine.   Nothing new, nothing special here, except that it degrades the exchange of viewpoints.  "A turd in the punchbowl" is what it amounts to.

Actually it was getting smaller.  Gore led the NPR -- the National Performance Review, often call "Reinventing Government".  Under NPR nearly 250,000 federal jobs were made redundant; that's a good thing, typically.  Now, the federal government has become a land of the "haves" and the "have-nots" -- the "haves" being the political appointees, and the "have-nots" being the professional federal workforce, which is being striped of its authority by the "haves."  How?  Outsourcing, largely, and largely to companies like SAIC, Titan, and SRA.  All politically connected -- hard wired.  And, perhaps more insidiously, through the instillation of fear in the federal workplace.  Have you read about the former Chief of the US Park Police?


"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- One day after she was fired, former U.S. Park Police Chief Teresa Chambers accused the Bush administration Saturday of silencing dissenting views in the rank and file.

Chambers' departure may not garner the same spotlight as those of former counterterrorism expert Richard Clarke and former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill, but it appears to fall into a similar category: officials who leave or are forced out after questioning Bush administration policies.

"The American people should be afraid of this kind of silencing of professionals in any field," she said. "We should be very concerned as American citizens that people who are experts in their field either can't speak up, or, as we're seeing now in the parks service, won't speak up."



Also consider the Amb. Wilson situation.  You'll recall Ambassador Wilson was sent to Niger to investigate the claims that Iraq had purchased (or attempted to purchase) "yellow cake" uranium as part of its alleged "nuclear program", the one Bush cited in his SOTUA.  When Wilson debunked this lie, the WH leaked that Wilson's wife, Ms. Plume, was a covert agent with the CIA.  While that is being "investigated", with no help from GWB, of course, the message was sent, and received: do not fuh with this admin.  That has sent a chill down the collective spine of the civil service.  The message was received: dozens of (relatively) senior people whose names you would not know have left the federal government, some in protest, some ushered out the door.  

This form of herd culling is an abomination against the notion of a stable, focused, and effective senior executive service, but it accomplishes some of the goals of this WH: silence its critics, reduce the chances of the truth "getting out", replacement of key workers with cronies or contractors, and crippling the internal checks and balances of the bureaucracy.  This is a new and disturbing trend in governance, one that undermines the integrity of the executive branch, and further closes the government to inspection and accountability.  Accountability!  If I've heard Bush use that word once, I've heard it a thousand times, yet who among his own staff have been terminated for their screw-ups?  Who was fired for the "yellow cake" being inserted into the SOTUA?  No one. Who was fired for bungling the PDB of 06 August 01?  No one.  Who was fired for failing to "connect the dots" regarding the 11 September attacks?  No one.  "Accountability?"  Bush?  Please.

Not since those dark days of J. Edgar Hoover has fear so ruled the government.  And for this, we can say, "Thank YOU, George "WTC" Bush!  And thank YOU, Johnnie "Fatwa" Ford, for spreading the admin's lies.  Even at this puny level, he, like thousands of other kool-aid drinkers, does the dirty work of the despicable Bush/"TBA" machine.

I call Godwins Law on Alfie. End of Discussion.

If it walks, talks, and smells like "x", chances are damned good it's an "x", too.  Can't deal with it?  No skin off my nose.

I have nothing to say to you.  You do not exist.  You and "Nancy Reagan" can go whining all you want to the sysadmin, cry all you want about "BOO-HOO!  Alfie used a cuss word."  "BOO-HOO!  Alfie compared a certain prezzie to a certain dictator" all you want.   I am disengaging from you, Nancy Reagan, and the fifteen year old soulsby or whatever his name is.   You see, it isn't worth it.  You have your beliefs, I have mine.  We talk past each other, and learn nothing from each other.  I will pick my battles, limiting them to honest, open, and reasonable people on this board.

Bye, Mark, Nancy, and soulsby.
