Post Election Whining STFU

[Dru]

This means you.

 

The election is over. Bush won. The world has not yet ended.

Sure things will get worse. But is this as bad as 8 years of Reagan and 4 yrs of Bush senior? Hardly. You get another chance to kick the bastards out in 4 years. Quit complaining and get working on change now. You get congressional elections in 2 years right? President can't do anything much without Congress right?

 

[catbirdseat]

Dru, you need to come up with some new constroversial subject matter to divert everyone's attention. Any new Giant Squid sightings?

[Dru]

George W Bush kills giant squid with naval sonar testing.

[j_b]

a) i see little whining

b) were you out of your diapers during reagan and bush1?

c) before you can move forward, you have to understand what happened.

[graupel]

Hey dude, we gotta live in this cesspool. You just get to mock us from your safe haven across the border.

 

To stop whining is to become complacent like a Stepford Wife.

[Jim]

Unfortunately he can do damage without congress through executive order, changes of implementing rules, and general policy leaning/manipulation behind the scenes. Oh yea - did I mention their favorite of making up science and just plain lying?

[catbirdseat]

Where is trask when you need him? He'd have inserted a dirty joke into the thread right about here.

[specialed]

Next time I see George Bush I'm just going to hit him with my purse.

If W. is that bad and yet he still won, what does that tell you about what a lame candidate Kerry was! Hey Dems, if you want to win an election why don't you get somebody halfway decent to run for you!

[Dru]

Kerry was pretty much a Bush clone. Weren't they both in Skull & Bones?

[specialed]

Dru - you know as much about U.S. politics as Paris Hilton knows about rock climbing.

[Dru]

So, more than you in other words?

Might mean that. Amongst other things.

 

ex. Could mean that Bush did a lot of this:

Could mean that we are a country full of:

 

 

The reps won without a halfway decent candidate, so why not the dems.

 

You are right though. In fact I make it a challenge for both parties to actually present us with a halfway decent candidate next time.

 

Fat chance.

 

I expect more of say this:

[nolanr]

Probably right, a lack of good candidates all the way around. I try to avoid politics as much as I can but sometimes it's not possible.

[selkirk]

The problem is halfway decent candidates rarely stand a half way decent chance of getting elected. They typically have things called morals and ethics, and have issues with the type of lying most politicians call "statistics". I'd be happy for a Republican that doesn't come across as a good-ol-boy and can actually look at a problem for more perspectives than their own, or a Democrat who doesn't come across as elitist and disconnected from most of America. Either won would win in a landslide I think.

[foraker]

Gee, Dru, I guess I'd feel that way too if I lived in a 3rd world country. ;-)

[Dru]

Given the precipitous decline of the dollar, you will in short order.

[foraker]

That's a better reply than any of the Australians gave when I used it on them. ;-) They usually just sputtered in righteous indignation. I guess that's why I only see them working your ski lifts. ;-)

[specialed]

Australian chicks are hot.

[Dru]

Australian chicks at Whistler have STDs.

[catbirdseat]

How would you know?

[JoshK]

How would you know?

 

Good question. It's certainly not like he's hooking up with any hot australian college girls.

[klenke]

Are we going to have 4 more years of this liberal drivel {hey, that rhymes!} on this site? Can't we call a four-month truce or something? Perhaps we should create a superspray politics forum.

[Jake]

Those Australian jokes are getting good. Got any more?
