Still Dancing with Victim Hood

[rightwinger]

January 3, 1995: Republicans gained control of both houses for the first time since the 1950s. (That's 40 straight years of Dem rule broken. If they're so great, why were there ANY problems?)

The last time the GOP had any significant control or power in Congress, the US balanced the budget, reformed welfare, passed line-item veto, Gramm-Rudman, taxpayer bill of rights, and dozens of other good pieces of legislation. The economy boomed, and yet STILL, their majority began to erode in subsequent elections.

This historically happens in a cycle. The party in power takes it on the chin in mid-term, always. Always has and hopefully always will because we NEED to keep an adversarial relationship between the houses of Congress and between Congress and the President.

It's not supposed to be a co-dependency relationship, Like Bush had with Congress, and it's damn sure not supposed to be a marriage, like we have now.

If you WANT one-party rule, a dictatorship, you are really really stupid.

Ah, my good friend

The cycles of the past are no longer relevant. The GOP fucked up big time this go round. Your attempts to spread the blame fall on deaf ears.
If you look at the last time the GOP fucked up this bad, you have to go back to 1929. Good ole Hoover cost his party political irrelevance for the next 20 years.
I'm afraid your boy Booooosh may be a tad worse than Hoover. Hoover only fucked up the economy. Booosh fucked up two wars on top of it.

The Once Grand Old Party will pay the political price at least until 2028. By then, the Stink of Bush may have dissapated...but maybe not

That, MM, is what Bush et al tried to do to the American people, and the American people threw the jerks out of office. The GOP is not getting back in office until it gets rid of the jerks.

Look..
We gave them a shot to accomplish what they had been proposing
Cut taxes, deregulation, strong arm foreign policy

What we got was the worst recession in 70 years, a crashed Stock Market, raging unemployment, two wars and a demolished US reputation around the world.
Now we should allow the republicans back so we can get "checks and balances"??

Reminder. Democrats took over congress in January of 2006.

First of all, I am not a Republican. Therefore Boooosh wasn't "my boy."

Secondly, you and the Dem party vastly overestimate how much capital you get from blaming Boooosh or anyone else for that matter. Blame shifting? That's you and the Dems, right now. Clearly both you and them are too stupid to realize it. Congress' 22% approval rating should be telling you and them something.

You still haven't been able to refute anything I've said, you bring up Hoover but neglect to mention he had a DEM controlled Congress, (which is what I'm talking about) and completely try to deflect away from the fact that if the Dems are so great, how come problems remained even after 50 years of domination. And the ONLY time we have had a balanced budget was courtesy of the last GOP Congress where the GOP had some actual control and power.

You think this is a video game, and all is good so long as your side wins. You forget that your side has all the power in Congress since January 2007, and now has the White House too, and still can't get shit done except make things worse while blaming others.

And you seem to think that's the path to continued power, for some odd reason. Newsflash: Most Americans aren't as stupid as you are and most of them do not want a one-party dictatorship.

Keep believing the stupid talking points and continue to ignore the lessons of history. You'll be right in line with all politicians when they get in power, no matter their stripe.

And by the way, I note in passing that your great calling card FOR the Dems isn't anything good they're doing or have ever done, it's only "how republicans have fucked up."

So, that's what they depend upon to get power? Never fixing anything, never doing anything really good or really well, but just feeding off the other guy's screw-ups?

Your line of reasoning and facts makes perfect sense to me. I'm amazed that your opposition simply can't or wont fathom the reality of it....

What I find really weird is this constant 'It's the GOP's fault'.... 'no, it's the DNC's fault'.... blah blah blah.

Actually WE are responsible. We keep voting for people who don't give a shit about America. They all - GOP and DNC - care only about power and money.

The GOP are not responsible for the mess we are in. The DNC are not responsible for the mess we are in. We are responsible for the mess we are in.

The only way we can fix this is to stop slapping each other, dump each and every one of this assholes that we have handed our country to. We all need to take personal responsibility for ourselves and stop expecting someone else to fix things for us.

Well "gag me with a spoon"... I've heard California described that way...

Origin:
see blond

Related forms:
blondeness, noun

Usage note:
The spelling blonde is still widely used for the noun that specifies a woman or girl with fair hair: The blonde with the baby in her arms is my anthropology professor. Some people object to this as an unnecessary distinction, preferring blond for all persons: My sister is thinking of becoming a blond for a while. As an adjective, the word is more usually spelled blond in reference to either sex (an energetic blond girl; two blond sons), although the form blonde is occasionally still used of a female: the blonde model and her escort. The spelling blond is almost always used for the adjective describing hair, complexion, etc.: His daughter has blond hair and hazel eyes.

Bush had more than a republican Congress. He had unparalleled support to do what he needed to get done. That support was both domestic and international. In the post 9-11 years, Bush was given freedom to do whatever he thought needed to be done and that included his tax cuts.
In my life, I have never seen an outpouring of international support like I did after 9-11. Bush misused that support to bully our allies, degrade those who didn't agree with him and question the patriotism of Americans who thought he was making bad decisions.
As Bush said, "I'm the Decider" and as such, he was responsible for his decisions.
The fact is that the republicans who we entrusted our future, put us into two conflicts that we can't disengage from, they also ran up $5 Trillion in debt while causing an economic crash that lost an additional $11 Trillion in losses.
That, my friend, is one major fuck up.
The stink of Bush will remain on the GOP for as long as they continue the right wing conservative platform. Since they are unwilling to accept that America is repulesed by their performance, they will continue to pay the price

It's just a fact. You've been conditioned and programmed to assign blame to just one party when it's the combined efforts of BOTH which got us here.

You're narrow-minded.

Actually, they did not need a "large" amount of Dems, just a few - they had their President, and they were able to alter the balance of the courts. Aside from that though - I totally agree with you about the "checks and balances" - I don't like to see all the branches of power within one party. We may have to suffer through deadlock, and it may slow things down a great deal - but in the end, I think it's better that way. It forces compromise, concessions, and reduces extremism. It also reduces the possibility of unintended consequences down the line when ideological agendas are pushed to far to fast.

The GoP DID fuck up big time....in fact, it echo's the Democrat's fall from grace when the Newt Gingrich and the "Moral" Majority rose to power and, like the GoP, the Democrats were spinning in confusion - how did this happen?

I think the GoP overreached their "mandate" with considerable arrogance. I also think the Democrats are doing the same thing in Congress. They assume that their victory over the Republicans was was a mandate for a broad liberal agenda. That's a rather big assumption that may come back to bit them in the butt

I was playing the part of the overly sensitive like most of the women on this board would be if any guy would have a woman's naked ass for an avatar. In actuality, I really couldn't give a shit what Luissa's dream boy's butt looks like...... it's actually pretty funny in a pathetic way......... it would appear that many women have developed the same lousy traits of the sexist asshole male.
