How can one reason that Clinton's BJ was worse than Bush's war???

[Taverner]

I was just talking with a coworker - and he was going off on how great a president Bush is, blah blah blah, that the war is a noble cause, and Sheehan just hates America first (never understood why neocons always say we hate America first, as if before our coffee and morning shower, we just start hating America...)

Anyway...I finally got him to admit Bush lied...but get this - his lie is OK, but Clinton "dishonored an entire nation".... WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT?????

It seems like all the Repugs can do is rationalize...

1. buy that basement dweller a hooker for his birthday

methinks he'll change his tune after (for the first time in his pathetic life) he actually GETS a BJ :eyes:

[Taverner]

2. Yep....although he's no stranger to the profession

Every time he leaves town on business, always gets a hooker.

But gays? Now that's IMMORAL according to him.

The hypocrisy is astounding...

3. Well, think of it this way...that's their best/only argument.

Bush brings our nation to it's knees, practically, but Bill had Monica on hers (sorry to be crude).

When I hear this rationalization, I reply with something along the lines of, "That's it? That's the best you have? You're saying a blowjob is equal to thousands of dead and maimed troops, and tens of thousands of dead civillians? Have you ever gotten a blowjob, cuz it seems you have an unrealistically high opinion of one."

Usually shuts them the hell up.

4. Oh I tried that

But according to him, Bush's lie was for the good of the country (what the fuck????) and Clinton's was selfish....if I mention that 2000 Americans have DIED for this lie, and how could this possibly be good for the country, he quips back with "Freedom isn't Free"....

Big collective whatthefuck....

5. The "good of the country"...which one?

Sure as hell not ours. Sure as hell not Iraq.

Bush's was more selfish. Mark it as revenge, greed, whatever.

[Taverner]

6. Yes it was selfish...

But he doesn't see it that way...

What I'm wondering, is that I think he'd rather be "right" than happy...like so many neocons

[flvegan]

8. Well, talk about defining selfish.

Being right over being anything else is Job 1 for those freaks.

It's easy to be right when fingers are firmly planted in ears, and one is screaming "LA LA LA LA LA...I'M NOT LISTENING TO TRUTH NOR REASON...!!!!"

7. Republicans give sheep a bad name!

Really, every time you try to argue with one, or a group of them, they ALWAYS have the same damned arguments they've used since Bush took office. It's like trying to argue with a flock of sheep. Baaaa!!

9. Clinton's BJ never killed anyone!

It just left a stain on a lil' blue dress ...

10. "rationalization" as employed by republicans is no more than...

a garden variety intellectual lie, it is a ploy; a ruse meant for rubes...not this time around
:thumbsdown:

11. One good thing is..

There are less and less people who will admit that they like georgie anymore. There are still the die-hards who would rather see Americans dying in Iraq than to admit they voted for the wrong person but their numbers are decreasing quickly.

12. It's more like irrationalization...

This is why they can relate to Dumbyass. Whenever they're wrong, instead of admitting it, they put a spin on the situation. It's pretty pathetic, really.

13. repugs also want us to forget about Jennifer Fitzgerald.

Poppy was getting his way before Bill was around.

14. Didn't that one turkey....?
