The political knifes are drawn

Lamplighter · 12-03-2010, 11:03 AM

And President Obama has gone to Afghanistan for a 3 hr visit !

It seems that once again he is obvious to the political shenanigans going on in DC,
as they did at the start of his presidency when the town hall meetings were rioting and he went on vacation.

The top news event is the Republicans xxxx-ing (you insert verb) the political process by declaring their intention
to filibuster all legislation until their demand for the Bush tax cuts to be extended to the wealthy is met,
and denying extension of the unemployment benefits, etc.
Nothing else flows in this sewer.

As long as the highest priority for the Republican leadership is to defeat Obama in 2012, he can not afford to leave town.
He needs to understand that they don't really like him, and will do or say anything to regain power.

And yes, I voted for Obama and still support his programs.
I'm just disgusted with the tactics of the Republican leadership
and the lemming-like behavior of the rest of that party.

Lamplighter · 12-03-2010, 11:15 AM

Yes, you're right... excess emotion leads to brain farts.

footfootfoot · 12-03-2010, 11:17 AM

It's knives and it's oblivious, not obvious. I think the post had something to do with Obama too.

I hate this administration only a little less than the Bush administration. (only by a hair's- breadth )

footfootfoot · 12-03-2010, 11:28 AM

Different puppet, same puppetmaster, same plotline, new characters, same archetypes.

Same puppet master? Who would have the misfortune of being like Cheney?

or, rather, how could we have the misfortune of having another puppet master as evil as Cheney?

Tell me we don't.

There's a lot to hate in this administration:

If your individual income is $250K or less

Republican shenanigans cause tax cuts to expire: your taxes go up
Republican shenanigans get tax cuts for wealthy: federal debt go up
This administration's tax plan: you pay no federal income taxes

--------------

Your individual income is more than $250K

Republican shenanigans cause tax cuts to expire: your taxes go up
Republican shenanigans get tax cuts for wealthy: federal debt go up
This administration's tax plan: you pay more federal income taxes

If they're going to filibuster, they should have to do it the right way. Stand up there and talk the entire time, with no bathroom breaks!

Cheney was another puppet, merely a foreman with a bit of skin in the game, far from the inner circle of the star chamber, I'm sure.

How much closer can one person have been to Bush? Not Mom-Bush.

hehehe j/k

Really, wasn't Cheney all over Bush? Maybe I watch too many Front-line reports.

footfootfoot · 12-03-2010, 03:27 PM

I'm saying that while Cheney might have been Bush's foreman, he wasn't the General Contractor, the Architect, or the Client.

skysidhe · 12-03-2010, 03:47 PM

Yes, I got that. Drop a name, would you?

footfootfoot · 12-03-2010, 03:55 PM

The great Oz? The men behind the curtain? I doubt either of us would recognize the name or the face of the puppet master(s)
