I never said I was outraged and have never demonstrated that feeling on the subject. I was dissapointed. I am over it. However, I do get the feeling that you are one those in my party that feels that the Republicans have a monopoly on patriotism. Sorry toots, but that isn't so.
Oh, right. You didn't actually USE the word "outrage", and therefore you're utterly bewildered at how I could possibly have come to the conclusion that your screeching tirade against Chambliss for saying something "horrible" that was never, in fact, actually said amounted to you being outraged. CLEARLY, you were being calm and reasonable and even vaguely indifferent to the whole thing.
Sorry, toots. I'm not stupid enough to buy what you're trying to sell, I'm not in your party, and right now, I thank God for that.
Oh, and speaking of assuming things not actually said, "You think Republicans have a "monopoly on patriotism" is a laughable stretch, particularly for someone who is offended that his incoherent and false tirade against Chambliss was somehow construed as "outrage". I don't think anyone has a monopoly on patriotism, and judging by the utter nonsense of this thread, neither party has a monopoly on intelligence, common sense, or perspective, either.
You are right. Shame on me for finding hypocrisy appalling. Saxby Chambliss dodged the draft. As far as I am concerned that makes him ineligible for throwing the accusations that he is better equiped at handling the corporeal threat of terrorism any better than anyone else. Just as I feel that Clinton had zero ability in dealing with the military from day one due to this same fact. I don't want to play pity party, but the fact that Chambliss had to resort to the tactics that used, no matter how effective, tells me all I need to know about the man. Perhaps he is a good Republican. Good for him. That doesn't make his actions in that campaign any less hypocritical.
No, shame on you for suggesting that candidates should be given free passes on relevant actions because of "compassion", which is really just you drinking the liberal Kool-Aid and being too big a weenie to stand up to a sob story. Shame on you for being a big fat lying sack who throws a fit over what an ad "said" that it didn't actually say and calling a candidate a "draft dodger" when he did nothing of the sort, and THEN having the utter GALL to say that you aren't "outraged" simply because you didn't use the word, but merely made a fool out of yourself ACTING outraged. You are the reason that the Republican Party lost and is in such a mess, and you are a prime example of the weakness and lack of testicular fortitude that I have been excoriating your sad, pathetic excuse for a political party for. Call me when you and your spineless compatriots figure out what conservatives are and Republicans should be.
As for you high and mighty diatribe on my belittling of this nation's priorities, shove it in your ass. Don't for a second think you know me or what I find important. I will continue to hold my party members to a higher standard and I will cry foul when they step out of line. The GOP used to have the high ground. The religious right along with Rove and company have given it away with tactics just like this. I would like to get it back in my lifetime.
As for YOUR high and mighty diatribe on how awful Saxby Chambliss is for saying horrible, mean things about Max Cleland that were never said or even implied, shove THAT in the fleshy patch where your pissant political party USED to keep its balls.
You will continue to hold your party to a false and lying standard imposed on you by a bunch of liberals and accepted by you because you're a sniveling weakling who thinks being "nice" and being liked by your political opponents is more important than . . . say, having principles or accomplishing anything. You will cry foul when they do absolutely nothing wrong because you're too chickenshit to stand up for yourself. You wouldn't know a high ground if you fell off of it because you've let your opponents define it for you.
The sniveling, cowardly right has given away the country. I would like to get it back in my lifetime, if we could ever find some REAL men.
