I Wish McCain/Palin Had Been Elected

[rsmith6621]

.....Then I could b**ch moan and B**ch some more here and find more agreement than when I come here to make a honest point about the current occupant....

[davidinalameda]

1. too many people on here don't care about honest points

it's defend Obama at all costs

[RandomThoughts]

2. Yep President Obama has to succeed.

But that does not mean that a person has to agree with every thought or idea from the administration. Although there are many good things that occur that are commendable, and sometimes what some think of as not as good of ideas, are ok ideas also.


Although in a way that is the same form as some that try and make him fail, just opposite, but I think the reasons are different.

[Gordan Shumway]

3. I'd say it's more slam Obama at all costs

But that doesn't fit your narrative.

[davidinalameda]

31. so no dissent on the reservation is allowed?

[Gordan Shumway]

33. So only dissent on the reservation is allowed?

See what I did there.

[davidinalameda]

34. I did

but DU rules prohibit me from saying what I think about it

[Solomon]

37. Why do people who are free to fling whatever crap they want

start hollering about "so no dissent" as though somebody is stopping them from flinging their crap?

It's old and besides, it's just not true. You have an opinion, others have another. Nobody is stopping anybody from saying what they want.

Disagreement with an opinion does not equal stiffling dissent.

4. Under NO circumstances would I ever wish that!

EVER.

Yes, I have many differences with and druthers about Obama Administration policy. But there have been many improvements already and at least that trend continues - blocked as most things are by the Party of Perpetual No.
I have no doubt that if Gramps and Blah Blah had won that the US would be totally, completely and irreversibly belly-up right now, i.e., f***ed up in every possible way.
Plus, we would have had to endure Blah Blah's screechiness even more than we already do. It's unbearable as it is.

[calico1]

5. And we would probably be at war with Russia. n/t

[BlueMTexpat]

12. And Iran! n/t

[JoePhilly]

22. ... and Mexico

[davidinalameda]

35. at least Palin would have front row seats to the war

she and the kids could watch it from her house

[SunsetDreams]

8. "Under NO circumstances would I ever wish that!"

Absolutely. Sure I might find agreement but getting my ego stroked isn't worth more damage to the country.

[kjackson227]

6. "Current Occupant", huh??? So, you can't dig up enough...

respect for this president to address him respectfully??? He's offended you that much???

[SunsetDreams]

7. hey now

at least the OP didn't say "That One". They very well could have since they called McCain/Palin by name.


:evilgrin:

[kjackson227]

10. You are so right, the OP has more respect for McCain/Palin...

than for this president whose accomplished a lot for us during the first term of his presidency. So, apparently, the OP hasn't benefited in any way from the legislation passed by the "current one".

[alcibiades_mystery]

9. "current occupant" indeed

We all know where *that's* coming from. Now why would the legally elected President be referred to as the "current occupant?" Hmmm.

I'm just surprised rsmith didn't refer to him as "boy."

[kjackson227]

11. Might as well had. I'm sure it was on the tip of their tongue to do so.

[impik]

15. While still having a picture of the "current occupant" on their signature

[PBS Poll-435]

25. OP is probably just waiting to see the birth certificate

Then OP will feel better about treating the President with respect.

[CakeGrrl]

13. You and your bitching and moaning should be in hog heaven today

You haven't found a single Obama/Gibbs-hating thread on which to bandwagon? You're not looking hard enough!

[treestar]

14. I see your point

You prefer bitching and cutting down to building on anything positive. You just admitted that you'd complain no matter who was in the WH.

[impik]

16. I wish that too for you. You deserve them

[geek tragedy]

17. Snark, drugs, or profound retardation? nt

[geek tragedy]

18. Also from our 'very concerned' OP:

Hillary in 2012!

19. Yeah, poor little OP..now he wishes mcpalin could fuck

up the fubar bushcheney left so he could have a better time on the intenetz. :cry:

[Scurrilous]

20. Good find.

:thumbsup:

[Hekate]

23. That's enlightening. I wonder what this person is trying to persuade us of?

Being so concerned and all.

21. And The Millions of UE Who Got Their Benefits Extended

Several times within the past 18 months also wish that there were right wing ideologues in the WH cutting off their benefits and starting another war in Iran.

[azmouse]

24. Since there would be no electricity in the tarpaper shacks we'd all be living in

by now if McCain/Palin had won, you'd have to find some other way than the internet to bitch and moan.

...and McCain would have given you plenty more to bitch about than Obama ever could.

[Drunken Irishman]

26. How very selfish of you. Explains why you'd want McCain/Palin to win.

[one_voice]

27. Current occupant?

Well that says a lot.

As for bitching and moaning, feel free. There are many people that still support the PRESIDENT and disagree with many things he's done/not done.

For instance KO was right when he said the Dems should have started with single payer and worked toward a public option. Too much was conceded from the start. That being said, the HC bill that was passed is imperfect, but it's a beginning. It's more than anyone else has done. There's no way in hell we would have gotten single payer.

My "thing" with people that post things like you, is if we're not bitching and moaning right along with you about EVERYTHING then we're somehow cheerleaders, or we've had too much kool-aid, etc.

People always think the grass is greener on the other side, until they get there and realize it's nothing but crab grass and dog shit.

So go on and jump into the "greener pastures" so you can bitch and moan, but don't forget to wipe your feet before you go back into the house.

[Lilyeye]

28. Maybe you should have donated more money to them

or knocked at more doors to convince people that Palin wasn't such a fucking moron. :shrug:

[NorthCarolina]

29. I wish

Obama had lived up to his campaign rhetoric.

32. MOST HERE MISSED THE POINT BY A MILE...

...The point wasn't that I truly wanted McCain/Palin elected.....but how it seems that if you don't support OBAMA like a cult member you are deemed out of touch....not welcomed here and in some cases subject to your thread being locked and possible tombstoning..

If we will allow open criticism on the opposing party then why can't we do the same for our own....

The first person who posted to this thread got it!!!!

[DailyGrind51]

36. Maybe, THEN things would get so bad that true Progressive change would be a "slam dunk"?
