This will not be the first time I've been called The Turd in the Punchbowl.
But folks, it's over. All we can do is hang on for dear life until January 2009. Nothing is going to be done about anything. Not the war, not Bush's commutation of Scooter's sentence, not the contempt of Congress demonstrated by Taylor and Miers, not the outing of Valerie Plame, none of it. Congress can hold hearings until Kingdom Come, and nothing will get resolved. Gird yourself, pray if that's your thing, do what it takes to simply endure - because that's the filling in the big shit sandwich we all have to share for the next 18 months.
















Actually, I am hoping to reverse my hoodoo with the above post. Nearly everytime I make some sort of definitive pronouncement, I am wrong, in every conceivable way. I'm hoping to also be 100% dead wrong on this as well. Shh...don't tempt the gods. We don't want them to hear about my plan.

6. I'm Not So Optimistic About January 2009
Edited on Thu Jul-12-07 11:38 AM by AndyTiedye
Our frontrunners are only a few points ahead of their candidates. That's not good enough.

The Mighty Slime Machine has a year and a half to build their candidates up and tear ours down.
With Hillary Clinton they have a 15 year head start.

If it's close, they'll steal it again. They have more Diebold Repiglickin' Electing Machinez than ever.
Disputes go to the Supreme Court and we know what will happen there.

And they can always stage another "terra" attack.

We need a candidate who can Get his message Out eveRywhEre without the "news" media and win by a landslide.

9. Get your smart-ass turd self back int the punchbowl in the Lounge, sister.
Edited on Thu Jul-12-07 02:10 PM by blondeatlast
And see any Cindy Sheehan/Harry Reid/Nancy Pelosi/worthless Dems in Congress/ Ralph Nader thread for your nattering nabobs--who are you (raised eyebrows) Lounge folk to preach to US?.

Only deadly serious, logistically perfect, and irony/sarcasm free fun is allowed in GD.

(I love it, of course...) :rofl:

11. Bravo...


Work to force Repugnicans to be accountable, like this Iraqi vet tried with Chickenhawk, chickenshit Mark Kirk:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEfGmOWqHqA

5 Repugnicans are needed to force up and down votes to defund and to start bringing the troops home. Larger Democratic majorities in '09 along with a Democratic Executive means many of these crimes will be finally exposed and prosecuted. That's the goal to work for.

:toast:

12. I don't care for turds in the punchbowl..
Edited on Thu Jul-12-07 02:14 PM by Virginia Dare
but I wasn't expecting any magic fairy dust sprinkled in there at any rate. Change comes SLOOOOWLY in Washington. We've got the bastards down a few notches, and I expect they haven't nearly hit bottom yet.

13. don't be so sure that BushCo are planning on leaving in in 2009 . . .
all it will take is a major crisis for Bush to activate the recently signed Executive Order that effectively makes him dictator for life . . . I sincerely doubt that he signed it to benefit some future Democratic president . . .

it worked once (9/11) . . . they're no doubt banking that it'll work again . . .
