  1. Evil Pundit says:

    Grassroots support. He haz it.

  2. JK says:

    Are you sure it’s not ass-roots?

  3. hueydoc says:

    Wow- the Obamabots are getting desperate…

    • Evil Pundit says:

      They’re really trying hard to make sure Bush doesn’t win in November.

    • dude im on it says:

      *Looks around* Who mentioned Obama? Just because you dislike Bush doesn’t mean you’re an Obama supporter. Met quite a few at the bar the other day :-)

    • ema says:

      McCain pulled ahead in the polling today…

      • Evil Pundit says:

        The shine is starting to come off the false Messiah.

      • dude im on it says:

        Of course, depends on where you look. I’ve seen a poll that said that McCain is gaining, but hasn’t caught up yet. Remember the early primaries. I want a job as a pollster! I could phone it in!

        • Evil Pundit says:

          The poll that actually has McCain in front is from the highly unreliable Zogby outfit, so I’m not popping the champagne cork just yet.

          But all the polls show the same trend — Obama’s lead decreasing over the past month, to the point where it’s small or nonexistent. This is good news for McCain and very bad for Obama. Considering the general political climate, any Democratic candidate could be expected to have a double digit lead at this point.

          • IRONMAIDENFAN6 says:

            Cause Obama is bein a pusy about this ellection. He compliments McCain instead of attacking him, all Obama needs a a attack add with the clip where McCain wants 100 years in Iraq, and Obama wins

            • hueydoc says:

              But since it doesn’t exist…..

            • PiMan says:

              I haven’t seen any such ads because I don’t live in the USA, but (based on what you said alone) it sounds to me like Obama is doing what all politicians should be doing. That is, supporting his own policies rather than attacking others.
              Modern politics and elections are filled with too much slander.

            • Jim says:

              And all McCain has to mention is “Sleeper” and he wins

            • almonds says:

              So Iraq can turn into our friends over in Afghanistan. We fight to liberate a country that is being apressed, by some force that as no right to be in power,
              reguardless of our reasons we can’t just leave that country to is own vises.
              We leave and those people will kill each other until some religous right comes in and takes power, and 20 years later we’ll be fighting an new mujajadein.
              If that is the only reason Obama has a shot at winning, fuck this I am going to Canada and socialized medicine. Before we create the newest fundamentalist muslim state, by leaving before the in fighting has stopped.

              “These things happened. They were glorious and they changed the world… and then we fucked up the endgame. ” to quote Charlie Wilson

  4. The Rev. says:

    Hmm, I love this gag, especially the “grass-roots” implications mentioned above, but… seriously… the bastard doesn’t even have the support of a few stems of dead grass left.
    Any man who shits on the Constitution and whose sole selling point is the combination of “Smears, fears, and queers” should be relegated to talk radio. It’s no wonder the nation’s turned on him.
    He turned on us first.

    Wonder why those weeds are dead? Bush has been the Rid-X to the nourishing ideological and moral roots of this nation. His politics are antithetical to the progress of a healthy democracy.

    But his eight years are almost up. Now if we can just get him to be put on trial as he oughta be, instead of being pardoned or ignored like those goddamn villains Reagan and Nixon…

    • Evil Pundit says:

      George Bush has a higher approval rating than the Democratic Congress.

      A fact often overlooked by his ignorant enemies.

      • dude im on it says:

        I wouldn’t call myself an ally of Bush, but I knew that. I’m not the biggest fan of Congress, that’s for sure.

      • Jane says:

        No, it’s not overlooked (well some people might, but they’re not worth mentioning). However, what IS sometimes overlooked is that the majority the Democrats have is so small it might as well be dead even. They don’t have the numbers to get anything major done, and they know that even if they passed something all the President has to do is veto it, and they certainly don’t have the two-thirds needed to override a veto. Basically all they’ve really been able to do is sit there and stagnate and let a bad situation get worse, which doesn’t help them when it gets time to vote in November.

      • IRONMAIDENFAN6 says:

        Cause Repubplicans are assholes, Democrats are pusies, and both of them act pretty dumb

        • Jane says:

          I really wouldn’t be calling anyone dumb my friend, not unless you take this post and the one you did a little further up on the page and ran them through a spelling and grammer check. Alas, there is not a moron check you can also run it through, so we’ll just have to go with what we can.

  5. noone says:

    another dumb one. Making fun of Bush got old a long time ago when the liberals wore it out

  6. Charlie Foxtrot says:

    Does anyone ever support Congress? I think the last time that happened is July 1974 when they convinced Pres Nixon to resign, even then it didn’t last long. Pres Bush (current), on the other hand would have more support, I suppose, if he had any pissed away all shreds of his integrity. The Piรฑata thing is stupid. However, take a break on the woe is me… you mean ol liberals are always picking on us — when did conservatives become such candy-asses?

    • Charlie Foxtrot says:

      Change any for not and sign me up for grammer class

    • ema says:

      Yeah but we cant fire back or we’re called intolerant.

      • Kurt says:

        And when we take the first shot we’re either libtards or obamabots. I guess we’re just expected to sit here and listen quietly to whatever the cons have to say.

      • Charlie Foxtrot says:

        Oh, I don’t mind a little heat, but aren’t you conservative’s suppossed to be rough and tough little cowboy He-ro types?

        • ema says:

          stereo type! no, we believe in self reliance and personal responsibility although cowboys and heros are cool

          • Charlie Foxtrot says:

            Who doesn’t believe in self-reliance and personal responsibility? The difference is in how both sides approach those core values.

            • ema says:

              in simpler words, we don’t believe in the government giving us stuff…

              • ema says:

                so your second sentence is correct!

              • PiMan says:

                Which in the classical and technical sense, is actually liberal thinking. Economic liberty in not needing the support of the government.

                • TheLarrikin says:

                  Which *isn’t* the Democrat Party. *sigh*

                  • PiMan says:

                    So true. I’m just pointing out that people like Ema and EP like to
                    attack ‘liberals’ for things that are distinctly not liberal. It would be far more accurate to call these ‘liberals’ Democrats instead.
                    Here in Australia, the major right wing party is the Liberal Party. The Liberal Party here agrees with most of the policy points of the Republican Party.

                    • ema says:

                      Really? That’s interesting… Do you have a two party system? What do your “conservatives” believe, if you have those?

                      • PiMan says:

                        From furthest left to furthest right, our major(-ish) parties are:
                        Greens, Democrats, Labor, [center], Liberal, National, Family First
                        From most votes at the last federal election to least:
                        Labor (43%), Liberal (37%), Greens (8%), National (5%),
                        Family First (2%), Democrats (1%)
                        More details can be found on Wikipedia: Australian_federal_election,_2007#Results
                        .
                        The Liberal Party _is_ the conservatives. Their actual liberal policies are limited to economic policies (much similar to Republicans).
                        If we want to refer to social liberalism, then we have to qualify it with the term “small l liberal”.

                        • eddiepscetti says:

                          And people thought American Politics was convoluted! I can’t vote here, but I wouldn’t have voted for Rudd!

                        • PiMan says:

                          It’s not that bad. What most people do is just pick the party they agree with most and tick the box next to their name. It is almost certainly the minority which carefully order their preferences themselves.
                          The rough correlation in votes, is that if you vote Republican, then you would either vote Liberal or National (it make no difference since
                          they team up in the end anyway). If you vote Democrat, then you would either vote Labor or Greens here, depending on how far left you considered yourself.
                          .
                          A major advantage of how we do things, is that we don’t vote for the President or other leader with all sorts of political powers. We just vote for
                          who will represent us locally, and they represent the area for three years.

                        • eddiepscetti says:

                          But don’t you vote for PM?

                        • PiMan says:

                          Technically, we vote for the party. And whichever party has the most members/seats gets their pick for PM. It is like a better version of the electoral college, where we don’t lump states together and those who we elect aren’t irrelevant as soon as we know who is PM.
                          Also, that PM is like a figurehead. He doesn’t really have any greater powers than any other elected minister, of any party.

                        • eddiepscetti says:

                          It’s almost as confusing as AFL! *Go Cats!*

                        • PiMan says:

                          Don’t diss Aussie Rules. Because it is certainly a better sport than the multi-man wrestling match you call football.
                          *Go Blues* (even though they can’t make the finals any more)

              • Some Random Israeli says:

                Except when you want the government to use its military to guarantee chea poil and freebie contracts for your corporation, or to save your sub-prime inv/fested bank from bankruptcy, or to strong-arm weaker foreign governments into buying up dollars in order to avoid your inflation..

              • Charlie Foxtrot says:

                Are you sure about that? I think that conservatives want more and bigger handouts for their special causes than the liberals do, and more importantly, conservatives want even less personal accountability. For example, business, and while I can cite examples across the board, lets say sports — how many pro sports teams extort public funds to build venues under the threat of a move — talk about mult-million dollar welfare for a couple of rich sports owners. How about corporate execs that run multiple corporations into the ground, taking their golden parachutes only to do it again, where is the personal responsibility ther? So once again, while chastising me for a general statement you employed an even more general one to tell me that I was wrong. What you are really doing is casting judgement on liberals because rightly or wrongly they want to help those who fall out on the less fortunate side of the pay scale, while conservatives, rightly or wrongly support business that do the same. Again, sme value, different application.

                • ema says:

                  Well, it’s probably more efficient to use government resources to help businesses which provide jobs and keeps the economy from collapsing sending people into the streets and ruining 401k accounts. I bet keeping sports venues in a community helps local economies. I do give generously to charities of *my* choice and I encourage others to give as well. The government taking my money and doing what they decide is going to help people with it does not make me comfortable at all. I don’t believe leaving things like that to the government to decide is being responsible. CEO salaries and perks do seem outrageous but so do salaries for sports stars or Hollywood types, I don’t know what can be done about that in a free country.

                  • Charlie Foxtrot says:

                    Come on Ema, how is it that the government takes your money, making you uncomfortable, yet they are still be more efficient because in their “wisdom” they can pick the exact business that keeps us poor smucks alive? You cannot have it both ways. You said conservatives don’t believe in government giving them stuff, but you don’t mind giving really rich sports club owners stuff, because they may “provide” jobs. Personal Opinion — Business’s do not “provide” jobs, they simply exchange money for services that the owners prefer not to do themselves so they hire the BS out and try to make more money selling the services than actually doing them.

                    • ema says:

                      it’s not that hard to figure out which businesses provide the jobs or keep the economy afloat so investments like 401k’s do not fail. Do you have a retirement account? Want to depend on social security? I don’t, I would like to have it grow and be worth something someday. Is there corruption in business, of course there is! There will always be, but there is also corruption in the government especially when big money is involved. Business does not provide jobs? Who does??

                      • Charlie Foxtrot says:

                        No, businesses do not “provide” jobs. Business owners have an idea, they don’t want to actually make it happen, so they pay someone else to do the work. They make money in the difference between what they pay the worker, the cost of doing business and what they can charge the consumer. And guess what, investments are not a guarantee — why do you think that social security was invented to begin with? It was invented because private investment for retirement failed. It was a scam that we went through once before — result? The Great Depression. That is one of my main points. Back to the beginning of this interesting deviation, most liberals and conservatives believe in self relience and personal responsiblity. We differ in how we apply the principles.

                        • ema says:

                          I see so you’re saying businesses provide an income and something to do with your time between oh say 8 to 5, security for your family and maybe some insurance… but that’s not a job? I dissagree…

                        • PiMan says:

                          Ema, he was disagreeing with your use of the word ‘provide’ because he sees it with charitable applications. Perhaps he would be happier if you used the word ‘create’ instead, because I cannot see any argument or other way to twist the words there.

                        • ema says:

                          Fine, I’m not attached to that word…

          • Charlie Foxtrot says:

            Heros are cool, unlucky, but cool nonetheless!

            • ema says:

              why unlucky? they are heros and by definition they win

              • Charlie Foxtrot says:

                This is the easy response…True heros are cool because they do what must be done because it is exactly what must be done. They are unlucky because they are the ones stuck in that position, but they are cool because even though it sucks, they go ahead and do it anyway.

                • ema says:

                  I like this answer! You are correct, but I think doing what must be done is its own reward – again the win!

                • PiMan says:

                  I love this. You saying that ‘they do what they must because they can’.
                  Sounds like Aperture Science, yay!

        • SamuraiPanda says:

          quite possibly the dumbest thing i’ve ever read?

          you get win for that.

          • jellybeans says:

            Republicans have made a brand out of calling Dems whiners and crybabies – they are supposed to be stoic, heros and cowboys.
            Most of the whining I see now if from the other side though. Must be the aging population – when SOME people get older they tend to get crotchety and think they should have everything their way and be given a pass on manners and sharing.

            **Qualified that with SOME since I don’t want the angst.

            PS – MCCAIN IS OLD

          • Charlie Foxtrot says:

            So the term clear as mud would most likely confuse you.

  7. Cellie says:

    nature supports. yaaaay

    Better support than the Senate
