We would be SO FUCKED if McCain had won

[Rocknrule]

Over the past 24 hours I've felt frustrated and stressed out that the Republicans are once again trying to be as destructive as possible by blocking a bill that will help restore our economy. McCain and his fellow Republicans have proven that they would rather see the US fall into Great Depression II than cooperate with Democrats on anything. My only consolation is the knowledge that at least we have a president who truly is concerned with our best interests. If McCain had won, there would be NO hope, none at all. American troops would essentially be sent through a meat grinder in Iraq and average Americans would be starving on the streets while the GOP fat cats would be prancing around in furs and diamonds eating pheasant and caviar and playing the harpsicord. It would look like the opening scene in "Oliver" - luxury and hedonism for them, gruel for everyone else.

So once again, thank GOD we aren't being led by an old, senile carbon copy of Bush and a racist bimbo with the IQ of a breath mint.

1. They are all fucking rich so they could care less...

[Uzybone]

2. the market would be 5000 right now if McCain won

its scary to think about.

But on the bright side Bill Gates and T.Boone Pickens would be paying no taxes.

[high density]

43. Bill would be getting his H-1B increases too

Can't be "protectionist," ya know.

[Vinca]

3. If McCain had won this country would be rocketing toward 3rd world status. nt

[quakerboy]

47. Toward?

We would be lucky to be classed as 7th world at that point

[drm604]

4. We need to keep this in mind.

Everyone may not be completely happy with the current situation but it could have been MUCH worse.

[mvd]

5. Yep, the way McCain is acting right now is a sharp reminder

Instead of joining the few moderates, he's whining about being shut out and is putting party over country.

6. IQ of a breath mint...

:rofl: I'm stealing that. I honestly can't say what I would have done if McCain had won. I looked into leaving to go abroad, but I am too old and poor evidently. We would be deeply fucked.

edit: typo

[BlueMTexpat]

34. But ... but ... that's an insult to breath mints!

:rofl:

[nutsnberries]

7. we would. good to remember! -eom

9. Yeah, and so YOU BORROWEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDddd

tons for a useless war in Iraq and didn't have a problem with that. YOU REPUBLICANS put us in debt and wrecked the econony at the same time, and now you think we should do what? Just starve until the market corrects it?

[ingac70]

15. Billions to ass rape Arabs is reasonable spending...

to Repukes.

[crikkett]

10. Wow. one post and you're on my ignore list. I'm SERIES!!!1!

How the hell are ya, man?

[Starry Messenger]

14. LOL.

This is going to be deleted soon, so here it is in full:

"What part of "Fiscal Responsiblity" do you not understand. Yes, both the Republicans and the Democrats made a freaking mess of things for the past 20 or so years but to get mad and say that the only remaining Republicans are trying to block a smooth talking President with no experience is an ablsolute brain dead comment. I guess you want Dog Parks and Frisbee golf and all the other bullshit that is in this totally irresponsible bill????????? Wtf are you smoking? If putting that stuff in this bill will fix this economy I will kiss your brainwashed ass. Good for the remaining few that at least are not scared to stand up against the liberal media and ignorant people who want to blame the republicans for an economic plunge that they are not all to blame for.
Who the hell wanted to give loans to people who couldnt afford them....YOU.....who the hell wants to give everything away to people who cant and wont pay it back....YOU....who the hell wants to BORROW this much money for Dog Parks and Frisbee Golf.....YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.
Wake the freak up. Every GD bit of this money is money that you and I dont have....its BORROWEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. How you gonna pay it back???
I can hear your motivational speech to your kids now for their future...Ok now kids you can try and get a job but if you dont you will make as much as the people who do work because our new president will make sure you get back tax money that you never PAID. God that would so motivate my kids...........to sit on their ass and not do a damn thing. Which is what is coming but you are too ignorant to see the Socialist movement staring you right in the face......Dont go down swinging friend....just GO DOWN"


This, my friends, is what a FREEPER looks like. So read carefully before you accuse progressive DU-ers of sounding like a Freep, m'kay?

[Beaverhausen]

31. LOL! Thanks for saving it. Looks more like a Ron Paul supporter to me

[Froward69]

33. One has to wonder why

freepers heads do not cave in... the vacuum between their ears allows for no inclusive thought.

[Starry Messenger]

35. I don't have any time to wonder...

I'm too busy with Frisbee Golf. :D Seriously, though. I think "conservativism" is a form of mental derangement.

[Froward69]

39. I would agree but

not so much "derangement" but a mental ineptness that forbids any rational thought.

seems to me in Kindergarten the conservative was the kid that argued "sharing toys was akin to socialism." thus republicans are the most anti-social of all.

[butterfly77]

41. Going through withdrawal is very hard isn't it...

take a chill pill buddy. Where in the fuck were you at while your republicon buddies were stealing from the treasury. Is it socialism to give away free money to corporations,is it welfare? Go to hell!

[HooptieWagon]

45. FYI, poster 14 was quoting poster 8. Read more carefully before you flame away. n/t

[Starry Messenger]

16. But all that money for Iraq was perfectly ok for you, right?

So stupid.

[Kdillard]

17. What a nutty post.

[azmouse]

18. mmmm.... pizza!

[TZ]

22. Sarah Palin is that you?

You know, the one who insists fruit fly research is a waste of money even though that kind of research is helpful to kids like yours with Downs syndrome?
Okay let me get this straight. Spending oodles of money for Repuke pork good..Spending money on anything Repukes disarove of BAD....

[Ishoutandscream2]

23. Ah yes, the Republicant manifesto

And your solution to the current situation? Let me guess, more tax cuts...

God, I am around idiots like you all the time here in Red Hell. Let me at least escape from your nonsense by coming on this board. I don't need this shit.

[DS1]

24. !

[JVS]

26. You're an an ablsolute fucktard.

[lightningandsnow]

27. ENJOY YOUUUUUUUUUR PIZZA!

[lunatica]

28. Has anyone called you a Moran yet? If not, let me be the first

Just because you think you're fooling anyone.

[THUNDER HANDS]

29. say goodnight, gracie

[Bobbie Jo]

30. Pal...If people aren't working, NOBODY IS GETTING PAID BACK.

What part of this common sense equation DO YOU NOT GET?

IDIOT.


Put down the crack pipe, and BORROWWWWWWW A FUCKING CLUE.

[treestar]

11. McCrook woudn't have noticed the lack of technology at the WH

In fact he'd have thought the 80s era looking phone on the OO desk was new-fangled!

Looking at photos of Biden visiting with leaders in Europe makes me think of Phailin' goin' over there and thinkin' she was gettin' some great foreign policy experience, you betcha!

[iamthebandfanman]

12. yup!

SO fucked.

things are bad.

[napi21]

25. I've been thinking that for quite a while! The last 2 days, McNuts

has really been pissing me off! I was screaming at the TV this morning "You LOST old man, so go home to Az. and retire!" There have actually been times when I liked the way McNuts seemed like one of the few rational Senators in DC, but the last few days he's been an absolute AH!

[lunatica]

32. Did you miss the last 4 months of the Presidential Campaign last year?

Rhetorical question, I know. I'm sure you didn't miss it.

McCain is much more than an Ass Hole. He's a pathetic example of a senior citizen. He gives old people a bad image. And he's not too bright either. And his choice for VP was the ultimate fuck you to the nation.

[napi21]

37. No, I didn't miss it. I chalked that up to stupid campaign tactics.

When I gave some cudos to McNuts, I was thinking of the guy who was part of the "gang of 5 or 7" or whatever the number was who seemed to be one of the few rational Senators at the time. Or back when he ran for Prez the first time and was actually telling the public the truth! Remember when he slammed the RW religious kooks? It just seems, in the last several days, THAT McNuts is nowhere to be found!

[n2doc]

38. It is an interesting transformation

I remember people saying that McFruty was only "pretending" to be a RW nut to get the nomination. Then it was he was only going along with Rovian tactics because he wanted to win the presidency. No, He really has become W, jr, except older and crankier. Something odd happened to him after his defeat on 2000. He really believes this crap that he used to oppose.

[BlueMTexpat]

36. Well, this may be preaching to the choir ...

but I LIKE it. :loveya:

And yes, please thank ALL the GODs ... however they may be manifested!

[Deep13]

40. That's pretty much why I didn't vote for him.

I didn't hate McCain or anything, I just wanted a reality-based plan.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

42. That's a big IF. No Rethug could have defeated Obama - the guy was simply unstoppable.

[Cha]

44. Yes, we got a strong refresher course

on how it would be minus the steroids.

Obama is fighting this filth and his critics say "Faster Faster:bounce:"

[pipi_k]

46. I'm torn between

thinking that McCain and the Repubs really deserved to inherit the total mess we're in now

and being thankful they didn't because who knows how much worse off this entire country would have been

[Raine]

48. America dodged a bullet

on this one. :thumbsup:
