I’ve been struck down by that nasty cold that’s going around, and so last night the dog and I crawled into bed early and flipped on the TV, just in time to catch images of the White House being torn apart by a massive tornado.
There wasn’t much useful to learn from “Category 7: the End of the World”, other than the obvious fact that it was a really crappy movie. But since Hollywood is in the business of wish fulfillment, I did find two of the screenwriter’s plot devices rather interesting: a) in the event of a major catastrophe, what we need is not only a woman FEMA director, but a really hot one… and b) it was a happy ending, because although the White House was totally destroyed, sucking evil staffers high into the funnel cloud, the Capitol Building was left totally unscathed.
I appreciate the anti-Bush sentiment, but I’m guessing that Congress won’t fare so well during the political storm that strikes next November.
Of course, “2006 is a long way off” and “a lot can happen in a year” and “off year elections are not reliable harbingers of the future” and all those other precious pearls of political wisdom… but if things don’t get much better for the Bush administration between now and then, they can’t help but get a helluva lot worse.
Here in Washington state, the anti-Bush backlash already played a role in the 2005 election, with one of the most effective direct mail pieces in the high-profile King County executive race featuring the relatively undefined Republican challenger, David Irons, standing on a street corner sporting a crooked smile and a Bush-Cheney placard. Expect to see similar images in races around the nation next year.
No question, this was a terrible election for WA Republicans, up and down the ballot, losing not only the coveted KC executive race, but also crucial seats on several county councils. And of course, the biggest issue in the 2005 election was the GOP-endorsed Initiative 912, which failed by over seven points… an astonishing margin for an anti-tax initiative. Even the GOP cheerleaders on the right wing blogs were reduced to feebly touting Republican victories in non-partisan races.
A reliable harbinger for 2006? Maybe not. But the Democrats’ newfound confidence certainly bodes well.
Out East in the 5th Congressional District, Republican first-termer Rep. Cathy McMorris could face a tough challenge from Okanogan County rancher and former state agriculture director Peter Goldmark. Pundits have this labeled a safe Republican seat, but this is the district former Speaker Tom Foley held for many years, and Spokane, its population center, is only slightly tinged red. According to Progressive Punch, McMorris ranks as one of the most conservative members of the House… having voted with the discredited leadership nearly 97.5 percent of the time. McMorris isn’t just out of step with the nation, she’s out of step with her own constituency.
Under the right circumstances, with the right candidate, this is a winnable seat for Democrats… but even just making it competitive would be a huge strategic victory. If Republicans are forced to spend resources defending “safe” seats like McMorris’s WA-5, imagine the problems they’ll face in WA-8, where fellow first-termer Dave Reichert is already struggling to keep his grasp on a largely suburban district that has been steadily trending blue for years.
Yeah, I know, I know… the GOP holds a huge numerical advantage in the Senate, and Congressional redistricting has made it nearly impossible for huge swings in the House. Thus it will take a nearly perfect political storm for Democrats to seize control.
But Republicans are blind if they don’t see the storm clouds on the horizon.

We need to get behind any effort to rid the Congress of that right wing witch McMorris. $2000 is a lot of money, but given the fact that it’s the legal limit, I will put it into the Democrat challenger’s war chest in the hope that it’s an investment in a better future for our country. Hopefully lots of Dems who don’t usually contribute will understand that the importance of a well-funded campaign. You know the right will start making up lies about her Democratic challenger, so we need to be able to buy media to refute those lies early and often. Then we have a chance of winning the seat.
Republicans don’t get it! Every time they haul out their tired old chestnut that if you do not support the war and Bush, you are giving aid and comfort to the enemy, they INFURIATE countless numbers of Democrats and liberals. And infuriated people are MOTIVATED people — motivated to give time, effort, and money to anti-GOP candidates and causes.
Flashback to February 2003. If you walked up to a Republican stranger on a street corner and questioned his patriotism, he’d probably have punched you out! Hell, if you wore a pro-liberal tee shirt, he’d question YOUR patriotism, THEN punch you out! The sheep-walkers were riding a crest then, and felt omnipotent.
Well, why doesn’t it occur to these fucking Republicans that we feel the same way about patriotism they do? Yours truly is a Vietnam vet; trust me, NOBODY questions MY patriotism, and walks away from it. Those are fighting words, assholes!!!
And given the country’s mood right now — two-thirds think Bush is a liar, and over half think he should be impeached — it’ll be tough to find a jury that would convict a fluffy bunny with pink ears and a cute cottontail for ripping a Republican a new belly button, if said Republican is foolish enough to pick me up by my ears!!
This ain’t March 2003, and you ain’t in Kansas anymore, assholes!!!
Roger,
Take your meds and calm down.
So — why is Bush’s scurrilous assertion that his critics are “aiding the enemy” total bullshit??
The reasons are legion, starting with George W. Bush himself. His decision to invade Iraq has a godsend for al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden. Not only did it open up Iraq, a closed country under the firm control of a brutal dictator who was hostile to al Qaeda and saw Osama as a rival, to terrorists but also gave Muslim fanatics a battlefield on which to kill Americans — and on which Americans are vulnerable and can be easily killed.
The occupation of Iraq has infuriated Muslims all over the world. Nothing could have done more to boost Al Qaeda’s stature — and recruiting.
The invasion of Iraq diverted most of America’s military resources away from Afghanistan, allowing Osama to escape and the Taliban to continue contesting for control of that country. Our brave soldiers had Osama cornered, but then troops and equipment were yanked out and sent to Iraq. And Bush told the world, “I don’t know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority. I am truly not that concerned about him.” Hey sheep-walkers — if you want to give aid and comfort to the enemy, stop looking for him. That’ll give him plenty of aid and comfort. And Bush accuses US of giving Osama aid and comfort?
HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR
And then the administration’s hare-brained idea of torturing detainees, which the Republifuck Nazis defend even as I type — what could possibly have done more to tarnish America’s image, motivate the Iraqi insurgents resisting the U.S. occupation, discourage support from our ex-allies and harden the resolve of our enemy? It was the best recruiting tool al Qaeda never devised. They didn’t have to; the Bushies did it for them.
Bush’s idiocy has made the United States dangrously vulnerable. The U.S. military’s recruiting is in the toilet, over-deployed and over-stressed veteran soldiers are refusing to re-enlist, and the U.S. government lacks forces to deploy in an emergency. Hey goosesteppers — wrecking the military is a great way to aid and comfort our enemies!
Finally, I could not close this essay without mentioning Bush’s utter hypocrisy in cozying up to the Saudi regime. Pop quiz: What nationality is Osama? What nationality were the 9/11 hijackers? What country is the world’s foremost breeding ground for al Qaeda terrorists? Which U.S. president is looking the other way?
Bush apologists can argue until they’re blue in the face that critics are hurting our troops. No one is hurting our troops more than the fucking incompetents running the White House and Pentagon, starting with Bush himself, and also of course Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Condi Candy. The real aid and comfort to the enemy is coming from the chickenhawks who hide behind the troops to make their speeches, and who hide behind patriotism to avoid being held accountable for their stupidity and incompetence.
If you support Bush, you’re an America-hating, anti-democratic, unpatriotic, piece of shit!!! Don’t like that? Want to do something about it? Okay – pick me up by my ears.
@3
Go fuck your armadillo.
When Republifucks question our patriotism, liberals get MAD!!! And we WILL get even with you America-hating, unpatriotic fucks!!! No more business as usual. When we get back in power, we’re gonna screw you goosesteppers!!!
In previous threads, Mark the Redneck initially refused to pay his gambling debt to Goldy* and asked Roger Rabbit to arbitrate. In response, I pointed out that I wagering contracts are unenforceable under Washington law, and if MTR refused to pay his gambling debt, the traditional method of taking care of welshers is to whack them. MTR finally agreed to pay the debt by contributing $100 to Cantwell’s re-election campaign. This is a win-win-win solution to a sticky problem — Cantwell wins re-election, we still have MTR to kick around, and Goldy won’t have to kill him!!
Yawn, Goldy, its 4 hrs since your last dose; refill and get back to us when you are awake again
* Mark the Redneck foolishly offered to all comers a wager of $100 that I-912 would pass by 15 percentage points; and Goldy, knowing a sure thing when he sees one, put up $100 and accepted the bet.

I was going to comment on your naive and foolish statement of, “the anti-Bush backlash already played a role in the 2005 election, with one of the most effective direct mail pieces in the high-profile King County executive race,” but it is clear that this thread is simply for Roger “The More Impotent I Feel, the Louder I Get” Rabbit’s mental ma***rba*ion.

Guess I’ll have to wait for the next thread to find some sort of reasonable discussion. Oh, well…
In January 2007, with Democrats in control of both houses of Congress, the first item of business for the new Congress will be impeaching Bush and Cheney. The Speaker of the House will then become POTUS. Hey trolls — can you say “President Pelosi?” Stand in front of a mirror and practice it, because it’s gonna happen!!

Sun Myung Moon, who appointed himself Jesus Christ, and got rich from the toil of unpaid labor in his far-flung factories and business enterprises furnished by brainwashed cult followers, don’t you? You DO know the WT is not a going concern, it loses over $50 million a year, and Moon has poured over $1 billion of profits from his other business ventures down the WT rathole in the last 20 years, don’t you? So go ahead, waste a tree, keep reading America’s least-favorite pseudo-newspaper.

I like to think of American public opinion like an aircraft carrier – large, unwieldy and difficult to steer. Once it gets going in one direction, it’s very difficult to turn it in the opposite direction. That’s what makes me hopeful for the 2006 elections. It would be great if we could hold them right now, but the trend for Republicans looks pretty bad regardless.
Note: I get REALLY PISSED whenever Bush or some other Republifuck casts aspersions on my patriotism.
Reply to Jenna @18
Don’t worry, Jenna, there’s nothing the GOPers can do now to avert their party’s implosion. The die is already cast; there’s more scandals in the wings, waiting to explode into media and public consciousness. These guys thought they were bulletproof; in reality, they’re nothing but a leaky bucket. That light they see in the tunnel is a train. And they’re gonna get run over.
American voters are very patient, and will give their leaders the benefit of doubt for a long time; but once they leave, they never come back. And voters HATE being lied to, or stolen from. The Bushies have done both, and now public opinion polls show the sky is falling on them.

For the same reason the GOP’s fundraising has gone down … fundraising is always higher in presidential election years, and goes down after the presidential campaign is over, because people are tapped out.

seadog @25
“and President Pelosi ? What is it with you guys…can you only nominate people”
Nominate? Where did I say anything about nominating Pelosi? Read the fucking question before you write your answer, idiot!
What I said is, If the Democrats win Congress in 2006, and then proceed to impeach Bush and Cheney, the Speaker of the House is next in line to become POTUS. This assumes, of course, the Democrats would choose their House Minority Leader, Pelosi, to be Speaker if they took control of the House. Speaker Pelosi would then be second in the line of succession to the presidency, and with both Bush and Cheney looking like impeachment bait, it’s a realistic possibility that she could finish out Bush’s term if his popularity with the public continues to tank and an electoral tsunami inundates the Republicans in 2006.
Okay, show up at Drinking Liberally sometime and grab me by my ears in front of witnesses, you little Nazi shit.

Roger, why does prr’s attitude surprise you? The president spit on veterans friday by refusing to pay traditional respect to the unknown soldier, he sent Cheney instead. I guess thats the republican party line now, they are for veterans but only so long as its expedient.
Ah… Rabbit.
You’d never show up, it’s not in your nature. Sure, if I wore an Ao Dai or was asleep or a child or something, then you’d be in your fighting elemnt.
However, we both know that you’ll just sit back, collect your free government handouts, and spin off about what a tough brave guy you once were….
I’m curious if the memories from you past cause you to loose sleep
What bothers Rabbit is that both he and I know that he’s a coward.

Thanks for the link. That’s the one I was referring to. If you look closely, you’ll see that the DNC is raising money faster than it was in 2003 and the RNC fundraising has stagnated.
What has people concerned is the cash-on-hand, which is not an issue if a) the Dems have been investing wisely the money they’ve spent so far and b) if they continue to improve their fundraising.

http://stoptheaclu.com/
Rupert Wabbet: More refutation of your WaPo article on justice lawyers leaving. Did you forget to place the response from the justice department – on purpose like JustDumbBozo does?
“The Justice Department and its supporters strongly dispute the complaints. Justice spokesman Eric Holland noted that the overall attrition rate during the Bush administration, about 13 percent, is not significantly higher than the 11 percent average during the last five years under President Bill Clinton.
Holland also said that the division filed a record number of criminal prosecutions in 2004. A quarter of those cases were related to human-trafficking crimes, which were made easier to prosecute under legislation passed at the end of the Clinton administration and which account for a growing proportion of the division’s caseload.
In addition, Holland defended the department’s decision to approve the Georgia voter law, saying that “career and political attorneys together concluded” that the measure would have no negative effect on minorities.
“This administration has continued the robust and vigorous enforcement of civil rights laws,” Holland wrote in an e-mail statement, adding later: “These accomplishments could not have been achieved without teamwork between career attorneys and political appointees.”
Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, the first Hispanic to hold the job, named civil rights enforcement as one of his priorities after taking office earlier this year and supports reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act.”
Damn Goldy blocking civil rights and the justice department too.
Another TJ: Yes, I saw this one morsel of optimism (or your spin ?) …but the rest of the article is not so good …the GOP still has outclassed and outraised the DNC.
True enough, but to blame Dean is a bit short-sighted (and I’m including the Democrats from the article here too). It’s not his fault. The GOP was very aggressive and organized in building its donor base over the last 30 years. The Dems won’t catch up overnight. That he has reduced the ratio from about 2.6-to-1 to about 2-to-1 is obviously an improvement, but it also illustrates just how far behind the Dems were.
More from Howard Dean.
“At the end of Chairman Mehlman’s segment on Meet the Press, moderator Tim Russert asked if he had a question for Howard Dean, who refused to appear on set with his Republican counterpart. Mehlman wanted to know Dean’s opinion on the racist attacks on Michael Steele and if the Chairman of the Democratic party would condemn them. Russert followed Mehlman’s request with what seemed to be excusing Steele’s detractors because the “Republican party was dealt a serious set back” with their response to Katrina.
Dean’s response:
DEAN: Look, the Republicans have a long history of saying that those things happened and they may or may not have so if that happened it’s not right. But I didn’t see Ken condemning the Chairman of the Maryland [Republican] party when he called me an anti-Semite. (1) Speaking of moral values, lets have a tone in our political campaigns because the truth is — the other thing that Tim Kaine race showed that the person with the better tone and more positive agenda won and I like to see voters exercising their rights in that way.
RUSSERT: But the works in the campaign committee who sought his credit report have been dismissed.
DEAN: They should have been. Absolutely, they should have been. (2)
(1) Being called an anti-Semite is nothing compared to being called an Uncle Tom, being compared to Simple Sambo, having oreo cookies thrown at you, having your tax records looked at just because of your skin color, and all other attacks Steele has received. It sounds like to me that Dean is condoning these actions because something non-similar happened to him.
(2) Dean’s opinion on Schumer’s acquisition of Steele’s tax records has changed from “may or may not have” to accepting the people involved should have been fired.
(3) Lexus/Nexus Search does not have the Maryland Governor saying this. Dean lied again”

Yes, yes I want Maureen Dowd of the NYTimes running America – NOT!
Larry KING: Why are men, you state, biologically unsuited to run the country?
Maureen DOWD: It’s a Democrat and Republican thing that men are biologically unsuited — they used to think women were biologically unsuited because it was better to have manly reasonable discourse, but if you just look at the Bush administration, women only have lunar tides once a month. Dick Cheney has hormonal crazy lunar tides everyday. I mean with this war and Valerie Plame leak and look at W, our President; he’s obsessed with fashion and fitness. He’s always dressing up for costumes, like on the mission accomplished carrier [note: CNN immediately shows the video of Bush on the carrier] and he was obsessing so much about having a little 7-pound fat around his waist at the ranch this summer that he totally missed Katrina. And of course you got Rummy, look at him, he has these J-Lo deep afits (??) and hissy fits. So I really think we need to not have them running the world anymore.
And just think people like Goldy look up to her!
Hey GBS: You like to call Mr Cynical names but where is your support for a father who lost his son and doesn’t like Cindy Sheehan? This will affect the 2006 outcome with her mouth there front and center.
“One of the parents in the ad writes this:
My son died for a good cause
Fellow Americans:
I’m so very proud of my son who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
He knew the mission was important, and he understood that the war in Iraq was central to the war on terrorism.
Sadly, my son (Lance Cpl. Michael Jason Williams) lost his life in combat in this war. My life changed forever when I got a knock at my door, informing me that Michael had been killed in action. My son is my hero.
As a father, I can’t tell you what a gut-wrenching blow it was, and still is. Not a day goes by I don’t think about my child. But the Anti-American, anti-war crowd that pretends to ’support the military, but not the mission’ are a pack of liars.
Some people, like Cindy Sheehan and Michael Moore, have tried to exploit the death of Michael and others who lost their lives in Iraq, in order that they might advance their far left political agenda.”

That and banning the bible will be the Democrats big campaign issues next year… and if you guys really want to try to run on issues like that, go for it. The path to irrelevancy comes from not listening to what the voters care about.

torrid joe @ 76, that is what PuddyBud does. He finds quotes from the least reliable, most biased sources, then spreads peanut butter all over his round naked body and runs around in circles bangin pots and pans above his head screaming in a high pitched whine
“La LA LA LA la la LA… Look at what I just shat on HA!”
Puddybud @ 62 and 65
“Damn Goldy blocking civil rights and the justice department too.”
Quit being a dolt! Goldy does not block anything. A fucking piece of software holds some comments for approval as a way of minimizing spam attacks. Ya wanna know a little secret, Puddy? Goldy doesn’t specify the list of words to trigger a hold—the software’s authors specified them, and took some effort to hide the list.
But, on a more serious topic Puddy, you seem to be posting a lot of bullshit the last few days that is of no interest to the vast majority of the readers here. Why don’t you just set up your own blog? That way you don’t have to worry about posts being held.
To start a blog, go to http://www.blogger.com/start and you can have your very own blog in less than 10 minutes.
I promise I’ll leave a few comments on your blog if you let me know where it is….
Great idea dj! I promise to post on your blog too, PuddyBud!

“Rabboit kills and rapes innocent women and children, yet has never sereved a day for his crimes, and I am the traitor?”
Ummmm…that makes you the traitor, since you have clearly invented allegations against RR based soley on the fact that he is a Vietnam vet. There must be a term for doing that–like “service profiling.” You are a treasonous fuck for doing that.

MTR welshed again? A two-time loser? Well, you know what tradition requires …

His statement says worlds about the intensity of both his grief and his political beliefs, but says nothing about the merits or validity of the policy that put his son in harm’s way.
The same thing happened during the Vietnam war: Some people who lost loved ones in the war were so blinded by grief and so set in their political opinions that they couldn’t see the forest for the trees.
DJ Said: “But, on a more serious topic Puddy, you seem to be posting a lot of bullshit the last few days that is of no interest to the vast majority of the readers here.” Posting worthless bullshit? Of course it’s not something a donk wants to read that your leaders are hypocrites. Since the majority of ASSes are donks the truth scares ya DJ? Naturally your knee-jerk reaction is to denigrate the message as it hits home for 2006 election politics.
DJ, all I am doing is pointing out the donkocratic hypocrisy. I realize Goldy is not going to tell the truth in all aspects of donkocratic life so I will. I guess seeing your heroes in their real ASS life bothers you DJ? Everyone of these donkocratic mouthpieces are hypocrites! I could care less if people comment on my items. LOoks like you read them though DJ! I am just telling you ASSes that your 2006 congressional aspirations maybe shortcircuited by your mouthpieces!
Let’s recap:
Al Franken – hires 1 black in 112 for less that 1% hiring rate. Will he give back his tax cut. He’s rich.
Michael Moore – Likes Defense Contractor stocks like Halliburton while denigrating them. Will he give back his tax cut. He’s rich.
Nancy Pelosi – Keeps union workers out of her companies. Will she give back her tax cut. She’s rich.
Barbra Streisan – Uses tax loopholes so she doesn’t pay her fair share of taxes. Will she give back her tax cut. She’s rich.
George Soros – Buries his $$$ in tax loopholes. Will he give back his tax cut. He’s rich.
Teddy Kennedy – Oil Baron. Yet he stumps against big oil. Will he give back his tax cut. He’s rich.
These truths upset you DJ?
Stuckonstupiddon: You’d leave me commentary? Yeah like one in 100 of your posts make sense right now!! Everyone of my above posts are true and factual!
72, 73
There they go again — the trollfucks are trying to paint Democrats as anti-religion. It’s Hail Mary time for the trollfucks. They’re truly desperate. Hey trollfucks, you’re wasting your time; no one believes your bullshit anymore.
@83
Pudwhacker, who is incapable of having a thought of his own, is merely regurgitating the right-wing blogshit of the day. I’m sure he doesn’t bother to research any of that stuff to find out whether its true, half-true, or pure unadulterated right-wing bullshit.
Roger@84
Nice job arguing our point….
Cmon, PuddyBud, be a MAN, and start your own blog. I’ll be happy to be your pet troll. Pointing out your idiocies, inacurracies, and insane fantasies.
But to be honest, I never read your troll blog-Wa Time URLs here. WHy bother? I already know from past experience it is all busllshit!
Here goes Puddy “Freep” Koresh guzzling more Regnery Winger Bullshit KOOL-AID:
DOWN THE HATCH!!!
GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG ….
Ahhhhhhhh…..
FULLY FORTIFIED AND READY TO SLING MORE RIGHT WING BULLSHIT!!!
Rupert Wabbet; who masquerades as an animal. Stuckonstupiddon looks up to Rupert Wabbet. Gee, aren’t all donks in real life animals? Just read the crap at many left-wing sites.
Right-wing blog shit? No I quoted a writer who has the guts to check out the donks and write about their hypocritic lies!!!
Did you read #73 Rupert? Nindid is one of yours!!! Nindid is one of those way out donks who will push for Bible banning. I just got him to admit to it. See, I have a method to this donkocratic madness here on ASS! I guess Rupert can’t read too well with those blodshot “bunny” eyes.
My Oreo post will be coming soon torridjoe. You’ll be surprised the stories from 2002 regarding the passing out of OREOS at two events.
So answer the question, why should your god get the nod here? Or are you admitting that your so unAmerican that youve been trying for 50 years to establish your religion as state religion?
Its not your god I hate, its asses like you that practice such extreme disrespect for other religions.
What? Huh? Did you say something worthwhile clueless?
Karma: Are the charges in the book untrue? If not then STFU! If the book is slander I’ll be out there calling for the book’s removal. No donk written about in Schweizer’s book has said the record as presented by Schweizer is incorrect. Yet “What? Huh? Did you say something worthwhile clueless?” is saying hey it’s all wrong. I would expect that from a person God allowed to choose clueless as his moniker! Al Franken[stein] has not said they were lies. Franken[stein] asked how Schweizer got the hiring information. The truth will set you free. So kiss my big black ass clueless.
Puddy,
“Posting worthless bullshit?”
Yes.
“Of course it’s not something a donk wants to read that your leaders are hypocrites.”
Correct. Particularly your “special” definition of what constitutes hypocracy.
“Since the majority of ASSes are donks the truth scares ya DJ?”
Why would knowing that the majority of people here are Democrats scare me?
“Naturally your knee-jerk reaction is to denigrate the message as it hits home for 2006 election politics.”
No, my “knee-jerk” reaction was to suggest that you set up your own blog, where you might attract some people interested in what you have to write.
“DJ, all I am doing is pointing out the donkocratic hypocrisy.”
So you say….
“I realize Goldy is not going to tell the truth in all aspects of donkocratic life so I will.”
Great! But, consider doing it on your own blog. You might just find readers who care!
“I guess seeing your heroes in their real ASS life bothers you DJ?”
Huh? What “heros” are you refering to? See, Pudster, when you start talking nonsense like this, most people just start skipping stuff.
“Everyone of these donkocratic mouthpieces are hypocrites!”
If you say so. I might generalize that to “every politician is a hypocrite!” That covers all ends of the spectrum (and helps explain why I don’t identify with any political party).
“I could care less if people comment on my items. LOoks like you read them though DJ!”
Nope. I read almost none of your posts. Your communication style usually gives you away by a simple visual scan (i.e. without actually reading).
“I am just telling you ASSes that your 2006 congressional aspirations maybe shortcircuited by your mouthpieces!”
Really? Is that what you are telling us, Pudster?
[Rest of nonsense ignored/deleted]
Consider that blog idea, Pudster! There might attract a BIG following!
Wow, the brown shirts are starting to sound desparate…
PuddyBud @ 92
“So kiss my big black ass clueless.”
“Black ass,” Pudd???
Really????
DJ if you are going to parse every sentence at least understand the meaning.
“Of course it’s not something a donk wants to read that your leaders are hypocrites.” You said – Correct. Who are Al Franken, Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, Michael Moore, Barbra Streisand – Democratic thought leaders. I am glad you agreed with me DJ.
Yes, DJ really!
PuddingBrain-
The really amazing thing is that you have absolutely no credibility here.
Most of us just consider you comic relief.
Okay torridjoe: I compared the WA Post article of Matthew Mosk Washington Post Staff Writer Friday, October 28, 2005; Page B04 and he leaves it out. Why torridjoe?
http://www.citypaper.com/colum.....p?id=11076 the same day as the Times article Joe. Your Daily Kurse missed this one.

Now read what the assholes on Randi Rhodes blog ahd to say! http://forums.therandirhodessh.....71225.html
Maybe your beloved Liberal MSM didn’t choose to print it torridjoe.
Rugrat602: Many of us on the right side consider what you write worthless drivel too. So I guess the feeling is mutual! Only thing is we don’t laugh at you.
Besides Rugrat602, why would I worry about what you think either? If your beloved lefty leaders say one thing but do another why shouldn’t I post it? You all claim that of GWB, so I am just reminding you of your great leader’s actions which, of course, speak much louder than their words.
PuddyBud @ 92 and pretty much everywhere.
Your posts become more and more undecipherable.
“Kiss My Big Black Ass”
PuddyBud has a PacMan fixation. PuddyBud, your naked peanut butter smeared round pink body has no ass, black or otherwise. Obviously the only way you can expel foul human waste is through your computer keyboard.
““Of course it�s not something a donk wants to read that your leaders are hypocrites.†You said – Correct. Who are Al Franken, Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, Michael Moore, Barbra Streisand – Democratic thought leaders. I am glad you agreed with me DJ.”
There is no way anyone can make sense of that… it is just pea-spittled gibberish.
PuddyBud is the William S. Burrough of the Trollisphere.
Yawn,
come on, tell us about the Lib plan to use those properties the monorail condemned and now owns
Homeless?
Rainbow coalition centers
day cares?
Voter education centers (aka stuffing)
@90
I don’t think Nindid is for banning the Bible; I think what he said was if someone hit you over the head with a large one, it might clear up the fuzziness in your thinking. Kind of like when you smack a TV when all you get is electronic “snow.”
Pudwhacker @ Everywhere
Let me respond this way, Pudster: I prefer our hypocrites to your hypocrites.
PudLess just has a shitty sense of humor.
Puddybud @ 96
“DJ if you are going to parse every sentence at least understand the meaning.
“Of course it’s not something a donk wants to read that your leaders are hypocrites.” You said – Correct.”
You misunderstand my reply. I was saying that you are correct that the donks don’t want to read that tripe (especially considering what you consider hypocracy). That kind of stuff belongs on a Wingnut blog.
Consider starting you own!
PuddyBud @ 97
“Yes, DJ really!”
Hmmm…well I’ll be damned.
I had you pegged for a pudgy bearded Caucasion with five children and a wife named Helen.
This just in Roger Rabbit was arrested today in dowm town Seattle. He will be charged with assult with a dead weapon.
A new report: yo was found sniffing glue at a crematorioum for Race Horses past their prime.
He was later found linked to genocide in Bosnia and Albania.
He has no survivors who wish to be associated with him.
In lighter news yo was found to be unfunny and a flagrant violater od stupidity laws.

Not true, I’ve been blogging on my computer all day … you fingered the wrong rabbit, dolt! (But what do you expect from a trollfuck Republican?)
@95
I’ll bet it would change color if he ever wiped it.
Donnageddon @ 112
Now, THAT was funny!!!
Wow RR, you got almost all our pet trolls out today. Prrissy, puckybutt, yo, jch, rightoff, … just need xmashag, stalewine and pbj…………then we can start experimenting with the Chimp’s torture procedures on these unpatriotic schleppers
ButtMan’sPuddy, not one of your posts make sense or are unbiased. You troll the web praying to find anything that you can ‘slant’into your skewered beliefs and jump on it as FACT. Your only ‘fact’ is that you seriously need to seek professional help….
DJ What’s your question?
Puddybud @ 118,
Well, you strongly suggested above that you are African American. I thought you were someone who does not fit that description (but comes closer to the description I gave above). So, (1) are you African American and (2) did I peg the wrong person as you?
BTW: I have no intention of outting you, and I am not joking around. Rather my interest is academic. I have suspected for quite awhile that you are a particular person based on several of pieces of information you offered in the comment threads. The “match” was so good, that I am stunned at the possibility that he ain’t you.
I am classified by the US Government as Black or African American. My features are definitely black but I have a mixture of European and Jewish descent in me. I have stated this in commentary before because I am proud of my rich heritage. Thanks for asking. I am not a WASP. NOT EVEN CLOSE!!! And… the wife does say I have a big black ass. It was from running from the man when I was younger!! She loves it though as it’s not flat like white guys butts she says.
BTW Chimppy Pa-Troll: And your posts are not biased? You humor me too. You call the Commander in Chief a chimp? How do you know how a simian acts unless… Naah it can’t be true. Are you a true messenger from the Planet of the Apes?
Who are you really? Dr. Zaius? Cornelius? Lucius? Or maybe you are of the Gorilla strain. Ursus? Aldo? Urko? Help us understand the Chimp in Chimp Pa-Troll. Thanks
Puddybud,
You are either:
A) A liar and a welcher.
B) PacMan and a welcher.
C) A liar, PacMan and a welcher.
Which is it?
**you’re big black ass**
Please.
GBS:
First, I already told you who I am. You know it already. PacMan has told you whom he is. You know it. I never inferred I was white. All you “Progressive” ASSes thought that. I have been very specific in my writings. DJ thought I married a Helen with five children. I think that DJ’s wife is Helen but I can’t fathom DJ as being a father!!! Mouth is too nasty to kiss a baby!!!
Second, How could I be PacMan in California when I, Puddybud, travel all over the country? PacMan is much more eloquent than me, while I find things on the Internet better than he does. I think Goldy can clue you in as to where I am posting from right now. Wow you are stretching like stuckonstupiddon was back in May?
Three, Go back and see my ebonics posting forever buddy.
Four, In the hotel I was in I got charged for 800 calls after so many minutes. So why would any self-preserving entrepreneur give money to the phone & hotel companies waiting until John took my call. I made the decision and I stick with it.
Five, Are you one with a small flat white ass? One that needs a belt because the pants fall down?
Six, Are you jealous that you will be forever fucking while white? Kind of like driving while black! Sad you’ll never hear the wife say “honey too deep?” Film at 11:00
Seven, God’s perfect number; I’d take a picture but your lips might find their way onto the printed sheet!
There I think that clears it up.
GBS: This post goes farther than you have ever pushed the envelope. How dare you make that accusation? I am much better looking than he is! I have been in the background watching Puddy make some great points but sometimes making an jerk of himself. But that notwithstanding, he is right in many of his posts! The jerk part is when he doesn’t know when to let up. I love his naming conventions. He has great names for all you lefties!
So GBS I hope this will put your mind at ease. I am posting from SF area this night. Where are you posting from Puddy?
Since you asked nicely PacMan, I am in the Big “D”!.
Thank you Puddy.
Good night GBS.
