They really think we're stupid
Bush and his Repuke cronies. They really think the American people are stupid. The shit they pull, the questions these pigs are asking at the hearing, Goodling's non-answers. They really do think we're stupid.

1. It doesn't matter if they think so or not...our "leaders" help them fuck us.
Edited on Wed May-23-07 11:38 AM by Atman
They hold us down while the rape occurs, all the while pleading with us that it will be okay, they really can't stop it because the raping is almost over anyway. Just lay still.

Then they'll let the rapist quietly walk away and tell us "but we held your head up so you didn't get dirt in your hair!"

4. I wnat to know
why they aren't treating her as the hostile witness that she is. The ONLY one so far who has been even a bit tough on her is Maxine Waters. It's about f'ing time!

3. it's worked for 6 years, hasn't it?
and they think they can keep the game going for another two as along as they stall and stonewall.


And with our dem "leadership" I'm not sure they aren't right about that....

8. What part don't you understand?
The part where they lie to our faces and expect us to believe it.

It's like the little kid who misbehaves, you know he did it, but when you call him on it, he smirks like the smirking chimp and says "prove it."

So, exactly which part don't you understand?

12. To quote you
"What the hell are you talking about?"

And then you say this "Don't you DARE get rude with me."

Are you sure you're in the right place? If you think my asking you which part you're confused about is rude, how, exactly would you characterize your post swearing AT another poster?

Ignore. Hvae fun at DU.

17. After reading
Some of your other posts, where you keep accusing everyone else at DU of being rude to you, when you are, in fact, the rude one, Im a little confused as to your purpose here.

You have done nothing but attack. I am done with you. I love the ignore function.

11. It's true, some of them are really stupid.
They apparently think we're as stupid as them too.

Poor saps.

19. Nope, that's not it.
1. Because you're reading comprehension's about the eighth or ninth grade level. You claim to be a man, but I've trouble believing you're an adult.

2. In that other thread you support the war.

3. You falsely accuse somebody else of being rude, which is what you did in the first place.

9. response to OP saying bush and his buddies think we are stupid
"Bush and his Repuke cronies. They really think the American people are stupid. The shit they pull, the questions these pigs are asking at the hearing, Goodling's non-answers. They really do think we're stupid."

They have been pulling this crap for 6 years and getting away with it. Why shouldn't they think they can continue to do it? They believe themselves to be above the law. And so far they HAVE been.

bush and company think they can stonewall and stall the investigations by Dems in congress and last out the rest of his term. So far Dem "leadership" seems somewhat lacking (think Madam Speakers statements that impeachment is off the table)

5. Considering how SUCCESSFUL they've been so far....
....why would they think any different?

What can you say about a nation where (almost) half the voters
WANTED these criminals in the highest positions of power, and
a third continue to support them even today?

"Stupid" is about the nicest way to put it.

Always have, always will.

So far we're fulfilling their expectations.

16. They think most people are too apathetic to care enough to learn enough to know enough.
So long as we can continue to drive to the mega-malls, and eat hot dogs while waving flaggies at the beach, hey, who cares? I might win the lottery.
