The "Stay Classy, Republicans" Super Nintendo Chalmers Thread

[quote name='BigT']
He's essentially right. You take young, immature, and inexperienced kids, give them a gun, and put them in a situation where it is kill or be killed (and where death becomes a reality around them)... how can they avoid developing a thought process in which they hate or dehumanize the enemy, if even as a coping strategy to deal with killing other humans? I work with a lot of vets and most of them are very F'ed up psychologically (and medically).[/QUOTE]
We saw the same with Vietnam. They will and should be punished, but we shouldn't act surprised when this happens. And there isn't even really a sense of pride about it anymore, as if you are actually protecting the country. We're over there mucking around in the Middle East and it's all a big waste of time, money and most importantly, human life.

When we're gung-ho about this war and that war, we seem to forget that these fuckers come home scarred for the rest of their lives in many cases. And I don't even think there are Agent Orange settlements this time around.
 
Somebody needs to create a game or something around how many times certain words and phrases are brought up. Obviously #1 would be "Reagan". Maybe you drink until you forget, each time Reagan is mentioned. I think everytime "our ally Israel" is mentioned you should have to attach leaches to your arms, and whenever make believe words like "jihadists or Islamists" is used, you take a hit from a hookah.

Did I leave any moron buzzwords out? I would have inlcuded Hitler/Nazis, but I think that's mostly the favorite of news commentators, not necessarily the candidates.
 
I don't know how to ressurect threads, but the WI Recall effort has (according to their own source) over 1,000,000 signatures that will be filed. More than double the needed amount to start the recall efforts.

I'm curious how this will turn out since the Senate recalls didn't provide much of a swing.
 
[quote name='nasum']More than double[/QUOTE]

Weren't 600,000 needed at a minimum? Anyway, if WI remains this fired up enough to get a recall on the ballot, Walker is likely in trouble. Depends on how long the delay is b/w this ballot and the actual vote - just like last year.
 
I hate to piss in your cereal, but didn't Walker appoint a bunch of cronies to the board that is overseeing the recall signature verification process?

Just read the article over lunch, 540,xxx *valid* signatures are needed and the recall people think they have >70% valid signatures.

The coverage is a little strange since the submitted signatures are indeed more than twice the amount necessary, but they still have to hit that valid signature amount.

Cronies or no, it's a democratic process on that certification board and they can't block 50% of the signatures.
 
[quote name='Clak']What exactly do they mean by signature verification? Verifying that a signer actually exists?[/QUOTE]

That, but more making sure they aren't counting the same person multiple times etc. i.e. someone that signed the petition at 5 different places and so on.

It has to be at least the 500K (whatever) unique signatures.
 
[quote name='Clak']What exactly do they mean by signature verification? Verifying that a signer actually exists?[/QUOTE]

Something like this. (note, this isn't a snide attempt at sniping Obama - it's simply pointing out that there's a deep history behind the efforts to get someone's petition invalidated by closely examining the signatures and looking for any possible reason to throw them out.)
 
Holy Crap!

Apparently the birthers have decided to go from age 0 to age 24 and now demand Obama's college records?

WTFITS?!

Look, well know the truth. President Obama is a member of the lizard people who are extra dimensional beings that are strictly here to enslave us with govt healthcare!

I'd still do her.

But seriously, is this transcript thing really something with traction? I realize character assassination on the sitting pres is pretty normal, but at least with Bush we weren't totally grabbing for straws. Or maybe I'm remembering through rose coloured glasses?

I think I might have found myself a new hobby, trolling the Sean Hannity forums. A couple of gems from the Perry now backing Gingrich thread:

so a 20 year carreer washington politician and washington lobbyist is the outsider and the guy who has a political carrer of 4 years as governor and never served in washington is the insider?

referring to Romney as an insider and Gingrich as an outsider.

He wasn't kicked out because he was an "outsider"; he was kicked out because he ****ed up (e.g., the GOP lost the House to Democrats in 1998 under his "successful" leadership). Look, you're confusing two things: yes, lots of Republicans and conservatives think Newt is an undisciplined, arrogant, insufferable *******. That doesn't mean he's an "outsider." Again, he spent 20 ****ing years as a high-profile Congressman, then was speaker of the House, then set up shop with multiple political ventures and think-tanks. Insider: literally and figuratively.

God I love these rubes. It's like seeing the whole "NPR members have better knowledge that Fox listeners" thing in action

I hope they realize his college records don't matter, there are no educational qualifications one needs to be president.
 
I figure they think they can't lose.

They find he had some bad grades, they can bash him for it like people did Bush's poor grades.

Straight A's. Well then he's still a latte sipping, out of touch, intellectual elitist!
 
there's something about him receiving grants for being an Indonesian immigrant or something like that. I try to figure out what they're talking about but then I see somethi SQUIRREL!

Yeah, I can't find what they're talking about. It's like listening to dubstep while sober. It just doesn't translate the language barrier.

They've been calling for his college transcripts for a while now. After he released his birth certificate, I heard some saying, "Now, if only he'll release his college transcripts!" I honestly don't remember the reasoning behind it, it was probably too stupid to commit to memory, but I do know it's nothing new.
 
The stupidest thing about this debacle is that Obama is basically a Clinton-era republican and Bush-lite. This isn't the first time I've used this example, but when a republican proposal gets touted as a socialistic government take-over of healthcare because a black male democrat with a terrorist-sounding name is just signing the bill, we have a fucking problem.

And I would be fucking surprised to see anything less than an A on his transcript from Harvard Law because of the grade inflation. Not saying that he didn't earn it of course, you can't become president of the Law Review by skating in on grade inflation.

edit: Part of the reason why they want to see his transcripts is because they're fucking crazy racists. I tried to think of an explanation besides racism, but it pretty much just breaks down to that. There is literally no way you can make any sense of their argument unless you're high, drunk, or both.
 
[quote name='willardhaven']Harvard Law Review actually requires an ass-load of work. Even if you do a good job there's no guarantee you'll make it.[/QUOTE]
Exactly. Obama isn't that guy that was lying on his resume about graduating from Harvard.
 
[quote name='nasum']well yeah but he only got in on affirmative action

putting on my helmet now[/QUOTE]
Haha...I'm pretty sure you're not being serious, and even if you were, affirmative action doesn't necessarily make someone less qualified especially with someone that has Obama's credentials. You simply can't bullshit his accomplishments by being less than overly qualified. We're not talking legacy cases like McCain or Bush here, which are closer to the negative connotations of affirmative action like you describe.

Either way, I'm busy re-tagging all my mp3's, so no long posts from me for a while...lolz.

There will be a D primary because we don't have a solid choice yet, so with that it will be likely that the vote will be on this Nov ballot so likely a huge turn out, not good for Walker, Kleefisch and a few R's.

The reason why the previous election recalls didn't fair so well was due to redrawing congressional lines…

Walker only had 1.12mil votes, and the petition had 1.9mil collected… even at 70% validity… that's more than 200k more than who voted for Walker.

Certainly more interesting than the R primaries :laugh:

I envy being able to get higher quality mp3's and CDDB is much better integrated/fleshed out than 15 years ago when I did my rips. Sounds like a fun project. I probably have about 6000 songs and I'm guessing more than half have bad file names and tags...lolz.:whee:

edit: Just to keep this post on topic...I wonder if there is going to be a surprise for today's poll.
 
Well that was quick, I already got banned over at the Hannity forums. I wasn't even psychotic about anything, just pointed out misinformed opinion disguised as fact. I don't think I even made it to 20 posts.
 
like that post I showed earlier where the guy (mrhawk?) thought that Newt got kicked out for rocking the boat and being an outsider. By the way, is that the same term as "maverick" this time around? Anyhow, I pointed out that Newt wasn't "kicked out" but rather lost his Speaker role when the (R) majority became a minority and he resigned, despite winning an 11th term. Of course, 11 terms in congress makes him an outsider...

Basically I was pointing out how ludicrous some of their conclusions were givien basic factual analysis. It wasn't just the Newt thing either. They have a long running "fleabagger" thread RE: OWS that I popped into to ask a simple question about how income and wealth inequity has been treating them. At which point there were a couple of posts that went well beyond cordial response and jumped into the "I didn't read your post beyond your apparent sympathy for the cause so now I get to call you a lot of dirty names", which was especially charming given the auto curse word filter there.

All in all, the anti-thought luddite crowd over there is very impressive. It'd probably give dohdough an aneurysm, but I had a couple of laughs in my two or three hours over there.

p.s.
"The Fed" caused all of our current problems. Just to let you know. "Osama" (the name for the president apparently) is a very close 2nd.
I'm not a great american....

I'm all for trolling, but I can't imagine spending any amount of time on a Hannity forum could be any fun at all.
 
it's a fun little peek into the echo chamber. I mean really, it's fascinating to see how indoctrination works on such a grand and effective scale. To see those goofy ideas take hold and manifest themselves, despite falling apart under even the lightest scrutiny is just amazing. Sure, we all want to think that our kid is the smartest and most handsome, but when confronted with another kid that's smarter and more handsome, you sort of have to accept reality.

I wish Rush had forums though. That'd be some pretty impressive piles of drool going on there.
 
Unsurprisingly, Paul came off as the most reasonable sounding person in the debate, but only because he didn't talk long enough to hang himself.

Highlight for me was when Gingrich said he wanted to zero-out capital gains and Romney countered by saying that it'd mean he'd pay no taxes at all, implying that he felt that he should pay some taxes. Romney must've had blue balls trying to get that one out.

Long way of saying I have zero doubt they're completely insane because they're completely insane in person.
