None! The light bulb is not burnt out. That rummor is being spread by the liberal media. Give it a little time and the light will come on. And why do you hate America?

2. The light bulb was allowed to go out during the previous administration
Edited on Wed Aug-23-06 12:47 PM by Nickster
so therefore replacing it is obviously not our problem.

Since the light bulb and electricity chose not to work together, it is in everyone's best interest to slash electricity and light bulb allotments. Heck, let's abolish electricity completely. See, if something doesn't work, the obvious answer is just to throw it all out and forget about it.

Replacing the lightbulb would only embolden those who would choose to damage our light bulbs, so therefore we must stay the course and leave the lightbulb broken.

We had outsourced the light bulb changing but due to cost over runs, there are no longer funds for light bulb replacements until the next fiscal year. I'm sure you'll make due with the light bulb you were originally issued.

I don't think anyone could have possibly foreseen the light bulbs going out.

5. Even though the blub was still burning when Clinton left office
and all through Bush's first term, Clinton still should have replaced it when he was president.

The fact that we have a burned out light bulb is a sign of Clinton's failures

6. Let that undocumented worker they've hired at a buck fifty an hour change
it...and when he falls off the rickety ladder and hurts himself, claim that the contractor hired him without their knowledge, and deport the poor bastard.

Then give the contractor a cushy gubmint job...

8. They let the light bulb go out, they were told it would
Edited on Wed Aug-23-06 01:00 PM by azurnoir
people should be able to change their own light bulbs, why should they expect the government to change the light bulb for them.

10. None, we need to establish a committee to study this issue further,
the science is still debatable. Light bulbs have burned out for years and this is just a natural cycle that will correct it self.

12. If the Clinton Administration had done their job, they would have known
that the light bulb was about to explode, showering innocent people below with tiny flecks of glass, injuring many of them. And they would have bombed the bulb factory, preventing further attacks of this nature on Americans.

Instead, the Bush Administration, having ignored the fact that the bulb had been making a buzzing sound for months, and after disregarding a memo dated August, 2001, titled "Light bulb determined to explode and injure people" had to do the bombing.

Who knew light bulbs were all made in Iraq?

15. They Absolutely Can't
In order to get the old one out, they need to turn it left. They just can't bring themselves to do that.

16. It takes one RW Nut to accuse the light bulb of being lazy
And it can change itself if it just pulls itself up by it's bootstraps.
