Goodbye to All That: Reflections of a GOP Operative Who Left the Cult

[daveman]

I can safely say I've never posted a picture of my ass on the internet.

Oh, and serving 20 years in the United States Air Force isn't playing dress up, retard.

ah the air force. yeah everyone goes in the air force for a vacation.

Don't forget the Gummint bennies!

You could have earned those benefits, too, if you weren't such a pussy.

Oh, well.

Conservatism has indeed become a cult, or at least the TPM component of it.

It was this cast of characters and the pernicious ideas they represent that impelled me to end a nearly 30-year career as a professional staff member on Capitol Hill. A couple of months ago, I retired; but I could see as early as last November that the Republican Party would use the debt limit vote, an otherwise routine legislative procedure that has been used 87 times since the end of World War II, in order to concoct an entirely artificial fiscal crisis. Then, they would use that fiscal crisis to get what they wanted, by literally holding the US and global economies as hostages.

The debt ceiling extension is not the only example of this sort of political terrorism. Republicans were willing to lay off 4,000 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) employees, 70,000 private construction workers and let FAA safety inspectors work without pay, in fact, forcing them to pay for their own work-related travel - how prudent is that? - in order to strong arm some union-busting provisions into the FAA reauthorization.

Correct.

This is very much a form of political terrorism, holding hostage the people’s business.

ah the air force. yeah everyone goes in the air force for a vacation.

In what branch did you serve, boy?

i havent. Not my thing and ill admit it. I dont do the whole "orders" thing. I ask to many questions.

I guess you cant be teased about being in the holiday club of the military..

No, but you can be teased for being a dickhead.

I expect you're used to that.

 

[daveman]

that i pay for. So why is he posting on my dime. He should be working...slacker....Dont get this shit in the other branches.

I'm retired from the military, dumbfuck.

I can't help but notice that you never bitch about Failho posting from work. Oh, that's right -- he's a fellow leftist. You're incapable of criticizing each other.

On another forum, he would post all day long - the timestamps proved it - while he was supposed to be maintaining air force sump pumps.

Your taxpayer dollars (not) at work.

That is, of course, a lie. Two, actually.

I never posted from work. I was too busy. And I didn't maintain sump pumps. The pumps I maintained were fire deluge pumps serving aircraft hangars.

Oh, and you need to make up your tiny little mind. Was I in the Air Force, or not?

I'm curious, too -- why do you refuse to say what you allegedly did for DoD in the Middle East?

My guess is you were in a USO band.

Some of those who were in the Air Force did recieve the same combat trainning as those in some army commands. So no the Air Force is not a vacation spot.

Now, pretty much every deploying Airman goes through Combat Skills Training.

Of course, it goes without saying that Synthia and Plasmaboi couldn't hack it.

you get a pension? Health benefits. ? yup my dime.

Flayo should be scrubbing something.

I earned my benefits. You don't like it? Tough shit.

blowing your commanding officer sure is "earning" it.

I see you're all out of logic and reason. Of course, I've never seen any from you to begin with.

That's because you're a leftist, operating solely on emotion.

Now, you will predictably screech "Nuh-UH!!" and express more homophobia.

Simple, huh?

The American Political Scientists Association Fellowship Program places political science graduate students in the offices of our representatives (house and senate) for one year.

“Fellows serve on both sides of the aisle in the House and Senate, and the assignment is for personal or committee staff ”

They serve half of their year with democrat, and half with republican representatives.

It is conceivable, that for whatever personal reason, a Fellow might choose to become a permanent staff member of representative of a party to which he felt no real fealty.

No, that's impossible. The only rational indication of a person's party affiliation is who he works for.

And for DAMN sure don't pay any attention to his political donations.

Puhleeze. This definition makes a mockery of the term. Libturds are attempting to define any opposition to Obama's schemes as "terrorism." If these goons could do what they wanted to do, they would be calling anyone who opposed Obama an "enemy of the state" and executing them or sending them to a gulag.

Man, you leftists absolutely hate the military, don't you?

I get a pension because I served 20 years in uniform. I had a contract with the government.

You don't like it, either? Tough shit to you, too.
