The concern of some at what the 25 percenters might think is laughable.

The concern of some at what the 25 percenters might think is laughable.
Edited on Wed Jul-25-07 08:40 AM by trumad
I see it all the time here on DU--- I know...we label some as concern trolls, but even those who don't fit that label continue to create OPs that tell the rest of us DUers not to opinionate a certain way because it may make us look bad and turn off a part of the electorate. PLEASE!

Those days are long gone. We have the numbers and the righteousness to control the dialog and that's exactly what we should be doing. It wasn't so long ago that folks asking for impeachment were told to curb their opinion about the subject because it made us look bad. Now I see it everywhere.

Some shout and beg for us not to compare the Bush regime to the Nazi regime---because it makes us look bad. Look bad to who(m)? When 75 percent of the country thinks this fucktard of a Rpresident sucks ass, it's my contention that you can say he does it with Goats and come out looking really good. He's that bad!

1. Just don't quote
dead people. We need to take history out of schools now. Maybe replace it with prayer? Think of the children, and of the Cheney fans.

4. “Why waltz with a guy for 10 rounds if you can knock him out in one?”

13. It really bugs me
when people even mention dead athletes from the past. Joe Louis? Babe Ruth? Dead. They mean nothing to sports. The only proper place for dead people is one money, so we can pay tribute to the mentally and morally dead in Washington, DC. And maybe on postage stamps, so we can mail whatever money they don't tax already.

8. Praise Allah
Some words of true wisdom. Remember only machines can count the votes as they are "objective while people are subjective" and by the way "I trust the people"

11. It's dangerous.
And we need to be safe. We need to stop reading history in school, so it can't attack us here.

Dead people are very bad. They are dangerous. That's why they are dead.

15. Silly
Just don't quote dead people.

That's just plain silly. It makes no sense to demand such a thing.

We need to take history out of schools now. Maybe replace it with prayer?

And here I naturally assume you're sarcastic, or otherwise you scare the crap out of me.

16. At least you
didn't quote a dead person. That really would be frightening. Dead people are wrong.

3. I think I know what you mean.
When the Repubs were in their glory, they didn't worry about being outrageous because they knew they had the majority and the momentum. The thing is, I think that helped to hasten their downfall.

14. Exactly Right!
We've tried it their way.

What has it gotten us?

American forces are still killing innocent Iraqi children in Iraq.

And Bush is still in the White House.
