Well, well now Big Eddy is saying exactly what I have been
saying. There is no compromise with junk yard dogs.

But I guess I am wrong, so is big eddy... let's see how this goes in 2012...

with a box of rocks that only reacts to fear, you use fear.

McConnell wants to take your Social Security.

Speaker Boehner wants to take your medicare.

Yes, it is that simple.

3. You don't "compromise" with T. Rex.
Try asking him to sit down and have a reasonable discussion about the issues. It will work well for the remaining 3 seconds of your life.

11. I'm afraid you are right.
They got theirs.

All the $$ they have garnered along the way leaves them with a very secure future.

15. Of course, they have the voters
exactly where they want them... and ignorant box of rocks...

Education might just make them more aware... like slugs...

No insult meant, but serious... this is exactly what they want...

Hell before they are done, we will be back at indentured slavery.

14. There's no need to compromise
Edited on Thu Nov-04-10 05:16 PM by HughMoran
We can simply do nothing for the next 2 years - no biggie. They might cave on taxes, but that's about it.

17. I am not counting on that
and optics matter... you know what they did with this...



What do you think they will do with a POTUS that looks weak?

A few cartoon images come to mind.

I really should get to work... this is too harsh for here.

It is even seen as divisive, never mind that this is exactly the ugly truth... after that... it is how do we fight back?

And yes there are differences between the two parties... but to the box of rocks the one looking like strong and shit is better... again optics.

19. Yep, Big Eddie sounded a little frustrated himself, today...
I think the post election has gotten to him same as all of us. Also add disappointment in the American voters. It's still pretty hard to believe they voted the Rethugs back in.

23. It is not hard to believe
the economy sucks... leave all intellectual analysis out of it.

It is the wallet. Are you better now than you were four years ago? It is THAT FUCKING SIMPLE!

And the republicans know how to use fear.

Why we need to do the same. Enough of this nice...

Hey grandma, Republicans WILL take your social security.

Grandpa... Republicans will take your Medicare.

That works.

All other intellectual efforts, eyes glass over and that's it.

21. Have the "Screw Big Ed, he's a loud mouth jock!" crowd shown up yet?
Remember, it's all of us who are ungrateful and refuse to kiss the rings that's the problem.

22. i liken it to a battered spouse. they think if they are extra nice
then their spouse won't hurt them. but the spouse still does and then blames them for it. and then the battered spouse apologizes. trying to be nice won't prevent that beating. the only thing that is going to work is to stand up and kick that abuser in the balls and give them a black eye and then walk away.
