I've heard no such accusations about Emperor Bush the Younger, who, presented with polls showing the populace wants us out of Iraq, shows the populace the middle finger.<BR/><BR/>Republicans just don't like democracy. The fact you don't see that and continue with the Republican frame that Democrats are like that too is telling. No Democratic pundit has ever written in black and white on a newspaper op-ed page that a military coup would be a good thing for the nation. Follow the link and you'll find Republican pundits saying such. 'Nuff said. If we must choose the lesser of two evils, I know which of the two evils I'll be choosing.<BR/><BR/>- Badtux the libertarian PenguinBadTuxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-13083028919809210512007-11-26T07:53:33.569-08:002007-11-26T07:53:33.569-08:00Please stop with the republican bashing. The democrats are no better, both parties have sold us down the river and you keep thinking the Dem's will save the day, HA! There is only one party in this country and that is the incumbent party and its members will do anything to keep their personal gravy trains rolling. By keeping the populace fighting over who's better, the repugs or the demons, they can keep stealing and selling us out unfettered. Wake up and smell the tuna fish, you are being lied to by all politicians, throw them all out and start over!Henrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-18149399243813587382007-05-06T10:03:18.201-07:002007-05-06T10:03:18.201-07:00I can't quite remember Mencken's quote but it goes that onr day the Mid-West will get it's wish and elect an idiot for PresidentThe Gentleman Thugnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-70782436792576646272007-05-06T07:00:45.449-07:002007-05-06T07:00:45.449-07:00The Republicans just want to have all the power for themselves. And when they realize they can't have that, they piss and moan like the greedy, selfish, mean-spirited infants they are. Of course, if they bothered to potty-train themselves, they wouldn't be suffering from chronic diaper rash, but then they wouldn't have anything to carp about, either.<BR/><BR/>Still, that leaves us with the Dems. They mean well, and they do try to do the right thing, but let's face it, there's a good reason the jackass is their party's symbol. I would modify Mencken's description of democracy a little. Our politicians know what they want, and they act as if <I>we</I> deserve to get it good and hard.<BR/><BR/>Thus, I'll take the Dems over the Republicans any day. Mainly because I'd rather get raped by a jackass than an elephant...Mimus Paulyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14614500796136679068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-38853878768832752952007-05-05T17:07:23.120-07:002007-05-05T17:07:23.120-07:00What?
