Irregardless of Opinions of Cable News Chatterers, Both Parties

[OHdem10]

gave America an edifying example today. For a change
America saw their leaders could be grownups. Also
they illustrated mastery of the subject.

Every now and then this is more important than coming to
some great conclusion at the meeting.

Pres. Obama set just the right tone.

[Political Heretic]

1. Um...no. I saw Republicans saying the same old horseshit, lies, smears and acting like children.

Spare me this "both parties" trash.

[DireStrike]

17. Yeah, have to agree

The only civility displayed was in the fact that they didn't (quite) engage in ad hominem - or physical - attacks.

Their tactic of reusing the same destroyed arguments and lies over and over again is sadly effective. Why should they stop?

[Fire1]

2. There is no such word as, "irregardless." n/t

[asdjrocky]

7. Thank you.

One of my about nine million pet peeves. What can I say? I got issues.

[Codeine]

8. Pfft! Only nine million? Amateur!

:evilgrin: I don't have issues, I've got an entire fucking subscription.

[asdjrocky]

10. Oh yeah?

I don't have dark moments, I have black months.

And I'm afraid of ants. Really afraid.

[seeinfweggos]

19. wow, you and i have found common ground. me too. lol nt

[JerseygirlCT]

15. Oh, I'm glad you said it

That's one that just makes me itch!

[ChicagoSuz219]

26. My Dad used to say that all the time...

...it bugged him, too, when people used that word.

[AlinPA]

3. I can't say that for McCain, Cantor and Roskam who acted like punks. nt

[Codeine]

4. Irregardless? *sigh*

What on Earth leads people to use that (non)word?

[Orrex]

5. It's a perfectly cromulent word.

[Fire1]

11. No. It's not even acceptable 'slang..' It's not used in

coinage or as a substitute for a standard term. There is no such word. Period.

[Orrex]

27. But you're fine with the word "cromulent?"

Uh... Okay.

[Fire1]

28. That wasn't the word in question. However, I can only handle

so much idiocy at one time.

[Orrex]

30. Why, you're just a basket of sunshine!

That's okay. Go ahead and dismiss it as idiocy if it's giving you trouble. No one will think that you're a humorless stick-in-the-mud, I promise.

[Touchdown]

6. Irregardless?

:rofl:

[Lisa0825]

9. I misunderestimated the number of people who would notice....

"Irregardless" is one of my peeves too. :evilgrin:

[Fire1]

12. "misunderestimated?" I do hope you're kidding. n/t

[Lisa0825]

21. Famous Bushism. Yes, I am kidding.

I didn't think that disclaimer was needed, but I guess I was wrong! LOL

But truly, "misunderestimated" is my favorite made-up word. I use it occasionally, generally among fellow liberals who typically know it's origin, so no explanation is usually necessary.

[Fire1]

29. I tried not to listen to him that often. n/t

[Robb]

18. You're just trying to embiggen yourself. nt

[Lisa0825]

23. Damn... you pegged me. I am so ashamed.

:evilfrown:
:evilgrin:
:hippie:
:smoke:
:silly:
:loveya:

[WeDidIt]

13. +1

:rofl:

[pintobean]

14. Irregardless of any merit your post may have,

you've exposed the grammar snobs. :D

[cbdo2007]

16. Irregardless of people caught up with your use of Irregardless - this is a good post

Even though I did also still feel like the Repubes were obstructing any progress, it's good for them all to be on record and to be being irresponsible with people's health care in front of the public.

[seeinfweggos]

20. try "regardless" or "irrespective" nt

[Lisa0825]

22. OK, I attempted to make a funny upthread myself, but I apologize...

Your post does make a valid point, and now I feel kinda bad for the grammar squad (myself included) monopolizing the replies.

So I thought I would reply again to say, yes, I agree with you, and I hope that you didn't mind the ribbing.

:pals:

[pintobean]

24. That was classy. n/t

[Obamanaut]

31. Yes it was. n/t

[FrenchieCat]

25. Agreed, the American people saw some leader s

and they also watched some spoiled bully ass whiners worried about the money
more than people.

[deaniac21]

32. Irregardless is a difficult word to look up in the dictionary.

[pintobean]

33. Not really
