1. Yes, but they do support the troops!
Because once you slap that ribbon magnet thingy on the back of your pickup, you support the troops!

34. I have never seen that video
But now that two people have recommended it, I'll watch it tomorrow.

My reference was pure coincidence.

2. How fucking predictable.
So odious it doesn't deserve a response.

BTW: Ms. Duckworth's ads are on pretty good rotation in the Chicago area. She must be doing well. :-)

That would be wonderful if she won Henry Hyde's seat!

7. That's the American public....
... you won't get better politicians (sexual predators, for example) - until you get a better electorate. This is an excellent example.

Bigoted + stupid = American. It can't be fixed if no one will even acknowledge it.

17. Amazing how the Repukes seem to bring all the cockroaches out of the dark
Edited on Sat Sep-30-06 04:41 PM by BrklynLiberal
cracks in the floors.
They have no shame at all.

I may even be doing cockroaches an injustice with that analogy.

Guess one must keep in mind the story of the Frog and the Scorpion when discussing the Repukes.


In the story, a scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion says, "Because if I do, I will die too." The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown, but has just enough time to gasp "Why?" Replies the scorpion: "Its my nature..."


One cannot be suprised at any disgusting, slimy thing they do. It is their nature.

22. her husband, Army National Guard Captain Bryan Bowlsbey
While Tammy was recuperating at Walter Reed, more than 30 volunteers rehabbed her Hoffman Estates home to be completely wheelchair-accessible. Members of her National Guard unit, fellow employees at Rotary International and friends from the community pitched in. When able to travel again, she returned home with her husband, Army National Guard Captain Bryan Bowlsbey. She began talking with friends in the Sixth District about issues facing the community and country. With their encouragement, she decided to continue to serve her country by running for Congress.

Any female who does not agree with them is labelled a lesbian.

Disgusting.

26. I wonder how many of them are the right age to sign up for duty?
Edited on Sat Sep-30-06 05:07 PM by cui bono
and why don't they go instead of continuing to pollute the internets and its series of tubes?


Looking at the comments over there, I did only see one person call here that and didn't see anyone echo it. So let's be fair.

I did, however, see a rather dumb comment...
"How is "change the course" any different than "stay the course"?"

Um... duh!

30. i love some of their approaches
Edited on Sat Sep-30-06 05:31 PM by SlavesandBulldozers
which amounts to "i admire her for piloting a chopper and getting wounded, that being said I'm going to slander her and call her a dyke."

going to that site, I don't think there's any way the division in this country is going to be resolved. we simply can't ameliorate the differences between the two of us. we need to form two different nations. I hope we can do that peacefully. I simply don't want my money and my future wasted on their policies. Perhaps that's the one thing we can all agree on. They can have Liberty University and their theocratic monarchy run by a syphilitic ex-alcoholic millionaire, and everything else, I promise. Why can't we just agree to disagree and mutually secede from each other?

35. Their only loyalty is to the Party. Everyone and everything else is
meaningless. Ideals, morals, everything. Every population is cursed with a certain amount of servile idiots- Freepers are some of ours.

36. Just a heads up, all you straight women on DU.
You're all dykes. No matter what. Why? Because you belong to a party that-- while not openly supporting dykes like myself-- doesn't want to rape us, kill us, or imprison us. That makes you all honorary dykes.

Just a heads up. Welcome to my club.
