The "Stay Classy, Republicans" Super Nintendo Chalmers Thread

Thanks to vbulletin total ignore, Msut looks like a crazy person who is arguing with himself over a 7 hour time span.

It's akin to those clever "Garfield Without Garfield" comics of years past.

Does my quoting get around that?
 
^ quoting only shows up if you omit the person's name.

so if it's [_quote] blah blah blah [_/quote], it would show up.

if it's [_/quote=dohdough] blah blah blah[_/quote], it will say "quote: totally ignored" and then the rest of your post.

[quote name='Msut77']Going on the ignore list, I do not need to play 200 rounds of "I didn't say all thing I implied" to know what is what.[/QUOTE]

Reading comprehension FTW!
 
Some people get to wound up over stupid political nonsense there all a bunch of idiots and will never change. That goes for liberals, democrats, and republicans!
 
Contempt of court = using taxpayer dollars to fuck your mistress in South America, while lying to the public about where you are and what you're doing?

I take it someone doesn't realize that showing up late to court can get you a contempt charge. The unwillingness of the conservative dipshit media to bother to explain the context of the contempt charge makes me think it's much ado about nothing - but as we can see, it easily sates the foolish "both sides do it, derp" conservatives.
 
[quote name='UncleBob']Okay. I'll agree. To be honest, I hadn't had a chance to read the source article, as I was posting from my phone during some down time. I didn't think a politician would be stupid enough to post something that repulsive. I really thought it'd be some kind of stupid "cutesy" thing.

So, yes, it was much worse. One doesn't excuse the other, though.[/QUOTE]

[quote name='IRHari']Whose sig, and which stereotype?[/QUOTE]

Just noticed no one responded to this, any takers, still not sure what you guys are talking about.
 
I have some local republican stuff going on in my area and I've been asked to review some stuff from the convention last August and it's like I fell down the rabbit whole. The sheer number of conspiracies I've read over the past 24 hours regarding about how the convention was a sham is crazy.
 
http://www.theatlanticwire.com/business/2013/05/walmart-toxic-sludge-settlement/65664/

Retail conglomerate Walmart agreed to pay $81 million on Tuesday after the company admitted in a San Francisco court to dumping toxic sludge into sanitary sewers throughout the state of California and Missouri in the early to mid-2000s, resulting in children encountering ammonium sulfate powder while playing outdoors. The penalty payment is, to almost every human being, unimaginably large. But how much is $81 million to Walmart, the largest private employer in existence? Let's cut to the chase: it's not that much at all. Tuesday's payout will cost Walmart a day worth of profits.

Meh, what's a day's profits, right?
 
Sometimes I wish penalties for breaking the laws were based on a percentage of your income, but then I realize that a severe penalty imposed on Walmart is likely to be passed on to employees and consumers anyways...
 
Does Paul Ryan's GOP budget actually propose increasing military spending?????? Holy Helll!!!!!! We need a third party.......

 
Not sure where else to put this so...

Eric Cantor goes DOWN! Did not expect that. I guess this next presidential GOP primary WILL be as fun as the last two elections. SCORE!

I've been laughing for the past hour or so ever since the news hit. Literally no one saw this coming. Polls had Cantor up by double digits, so this is HUGE.

This is likely to set a huge new precedent: it used to the the GOP who've always sitting pretty when it came to primiaries, especially nowadays thanks to gerrymandering turning their districts into political fortresses, and then Dems always had to be the ones to slug it out. Now the guys on the right are the ones who have to worry about their seats being snatched out from under them.

 
That darn Cooter is up to mischief again.

also .. "According to Virginia's "sore-loser" law, Cantor can't run against Brat as an independent in the general election, though he might be allowed to mount a write-in bid."

 
Wow. That's an icky law. Anyone who meets the most basic eligibility requirements should be allowed on the ballet. But then, tax-payer funded primaries should go away as well...

How DARE MEGYN KELLY attack Dick Cheney! Fire her! It's Obama's fault the Iraq War failud! He started the war in the first place!
Click to expand...
Cheney is a worthless ****, but I, too, am tired of the blame for the current situation in Iraq being dumped on anyone outside of the current administration. Mr. President, you were elected on the basis that you were the best man for the job and that you could do the job. If you can't do the job, kindly GTFO, please.

At this point, Clinton could have handled things better.

Depends on the job description. Personally, I don't think babysitting the Iraqi government indefinitely should be part of it for either the president or the US as a whole. They had eight years to get trained and get their act together, at some point you stop throwing away good money after bad.

 
Then why are we even discussing the possibility of airstrikes or other types of military support?

I've been saying for years, we need to pull 100% out of Iraq. If we're going to do it, then let's do it. This half-assed, "We're out, the war is over!" while still trying to prop up a weak, unsupported, inept government needs to end.
 
The GOP barely has control of the Senate. But the Democrats barely had control of it in the first place. I guess nothing will change anyway. We're facing a lack of budget, crumbling infrastructure, stagnant wages, yadda yadda.

My vote didn't count, as did the millions of people who thought the same thing.

 
interesting spin on it but alright.

there are always winners and losers in elections, even though it sounds like your guy lost your vote still counted.

Now that the Republicans have control of the House and the Senate, when nothing gets done, do we blame the Democrats for being obstructionists?
 
Depends a lot on what the Democrats in the Senate are doing.  And some obstructionist stuff is outside a Democratic minority's power (such as when the House refused to take the budget bill to conference and reconciliation).

Good night for the GOP in general.  Great night for the Establishment Republicans.  After missing out on a majority in 2010 and 2012 completely due to Tea Party novice candidates who blew what should have been easy wins, this cycle the establishment candidates cleaned up.

Are there Dems groups like the Tea Party..who basically demanded nothing got done. There us still issue within the GOP, that will keep it from functioning.

But to answer your question...right wingers already blame the Dems for obstructions
 
Not to mention that party discipline isn't as tight as the repugs...for better or worse regardless of the ability to filibuster.

Hell, the only race I really cared about was NH senate race with Brown vs Shaheen...and Brown lost! Carpetbagging massholes in NH had to eat crow last night! :rofl:

So... when Dems hold control of Congress and the Presidency, nothing gets done because of Pubs.
When Pubs hold control of Congress... nothing will get done and it will be because of the Pubs.

Everything that goes wrong is the fault of the Republicans. I see it all so clearly now.

I think my favorite part is how, before, particulars insisted that all Republicans acted in-sync and that Democrats don't - which is why it wasn't the Democrats' fault for failing at getting anything done.

Your question was about who gets blame ...the reality is that both are at fault for not getting more down. Things do get done - ACA anyone?

But to ignore the Tea Partiers stated goal of doing nothing is asinine
 
Look, regardless of which side your on, we can all rejoice in the fact that Michele Bachmann's run in the House is as good as over now that a new person has been elected to her seat.

We don't know how crazy her replacement is yet and he called himself a teabagger so...

I've been saying that for years, but I just get called a fence sitter, an excuse maker and, depending on whom I'm dealing with, a mindless democrat/republican who can't admit that the republicans/democrats are everything wrong with this country.
 
Both are at fault doesn't mean "equally responsible" however. I'll admit I'm biased it I don't recall a prominent progressive publication saying that passing laws and getting things done is a bad political strategy as the National Review did today.

I hope nothing gets done. Let states figure this stuff out.

Yeah... But you gotta wonder where's the money gonna come from if even Congress can't agree on lowering taxes on the Federal level so states can raise them. If they do manage to repeal Obamacare, even for states that actually benefit from it, like Kentucky, I want to see an exit plan. They had years to give us some semblance of a plan unless it was just whine.

Heh. The guy who will lead the Environmental Committee has gone on record of saying Climate Change is the Big Lie, and I mean the Nazi definition. WTF.

Michelle Bachmann is a true American.

I hope she runs for a higher office one day. She would be a truly great president, like Reagan, Monroe, and Madison.
