  4. # 4: Still up for the week. Today’s drop consisted of profit-takers cashing in on the advances which occured once Wall Street was convinced that the Democrats were going to control Congress. A little “fiscal responsiblity” never hurt anyone.

  5. By the way, anybody have a link to Katherine Harris’ concession speach? That should be a doozy.

  8. re 4: A company that lives on borrowed money is the only kind affected by the vagaries of the stock market — short of a major crash. This just reflects the caution of investors when there is some major shift. Like the complete crash after Bush’s election.

  15. Righty tax logic 101:

    The rich pay most of the taxes so it’s unfair to raise taxes on the rich.

    The rich hire expensive tax lawyers and they end up not paying any taxes anyway, so it makes bad sense to raise taxes on the rich, because you’ll just end up paying them yourself.

    How can you believe both of those statements, simultaneously? You can only believe it in DUMBLAND — the deep South.

  16. @15. I think you are just looking at the King Co portion of Dist 8. As has been pointed out Richert is running ahead in the Pierce Co portion.

  20. Fucking Pierce County!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  23. It doesn’t matter how much one grimaces and squints, that’s probably not the way to bring on The Rapture.

  26. Just to show you how out-of-touch with reality the wingnuts are, here’s a quote from the pathetic little competing blog:

    Wingnut says:

    “13. Hey, Unk, what about Pelosi’s 24% approval rating? That doesn’t seem to be getting the same level of coverage in the mainstream media. Posted by Burdabee at November 9, 2006 03:04 PM”

    Reality check:

    2006 Race for U.S. House of Representatives – California 8th District
     Nancy Pelosi (D) (inc.), 80%
     Mike DeNunzio (R), 10%
     Krissy Keefer(G), 8%
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Pelosi

    Lessee … in the only “approval rating” that counts, Pelosi got 80%, the Republican got 10%. Speaker Pelosi is now third in line of succession to the presidency. That means if both Bush and Cheney are removed from office, Speaker Pelosi will become President Pelosi — and millions of patriotic Americans will dance in the streets! Anybody got any questions?

  27. what is it about republicans they just can’t seem to stop lieing about anything and everything?

  30. holy crap Danies Richards just wiped out a couple of old lades bye throwing a couple of lap top computers at the paporatsie!!!

    Will the violence never end :-(

  33. Ronald Reagan was a Poon on his mother’s side! Bet you Republicans were unaware of that!!!

  35. Add Sherwood, Reynolds, Pombo, DeWine, Talent to the list!

    They got their asses handed to them!

    No MORE lying monkeys, sons of bitches giving King George everything he wants.

    Their day of reckoning has ARRIVED!

  36. Have you heard that rap group, The Poon Tang Clan? They really get in the groove if you know what I mean!!!

  38. Pun with Poon. It’s patriotic! Go ahead, run your pun up the pole and into the Poon Barrel!

  39. what’s poon? is that a republican teen age girl that has been getting corn holed in the butt for years because she’s trying to save her virginity?

  41. They don’t even know why they hate Pelosi, they just heard she is from San Francisco, and that must mean Gays like her, so we must hate her. Just like Soros and Hilary, they don’t know what to hate about them, they just know they should. (How easy it must be to be a republican, just somebody tell me who to hate.)

    That’s why we call them Sheeple.

  42. You see they’re trying to give a shit about the bottom 99% of income earners in America, but not… quite… convincingly.

  43. #2 – Market Down – Reality sets in…..

    The market was stagnant for 6 years and now here come all the big expectations and bullshit remarks……Truth2006, grow-up…..Why don’t you go research all the lieing, stealing and cheating that the Republicans know best.

  44. “The market was stagnant for 6 years and now here come all the big expectations and bullshit remarks……Truth2006, grow-up…..Why don’t you go research all the lieing, stealing and cheating that the Republicans know best.”

    As reality sets in, out come the potty words. The truth hurts, doesn’t it?

  45. I like it – if the situation hurts a Republican, I like it even better – hope you get fucked in the stock market.

  46. Maybe you can go as Dick Cheney for a loan, you paid enough for one in the price of gasoline – supply and demand, yeah right….

  47. “I like it – if the situation hurts a Republican, I like it even better – hope you get fucked in the stock market.”

    I don’t own stocks. Sorry to disappoint you hateful moonbat.

  48. If anyone should know the truth hurts, it should be you….you can’t bear the reality of all the Republican lieing, cheating and stealing….. Go lick Ann Coulter’s pussy, I’m sure she could use good dildo right about now.

  50. Lies2006 is hurting right now. . .America woke up and kicked his lying ass out of power. Get Used to it fool.

  51. I was checking out the “Gay old man porn” site advertised above as part of my gay agenda and I swear I saw Stefan in a gay daisy chain .

  52. I’m with goldy on the mccain suicide watch. We can only hope. He’s no conservative. He’s the poster child for why we lost. If he’s the nominee, he sas won’t get my vote.

    We need a REAL conservative. Like Newt…

  53. Harry, I cant remember the original Chinese for ‘poon tang’. I know the GI’s brought it into the slang lexicon at the same time as ‘nooky’ or “Nu Chi”, ‘young woman essence(spirit)’.

  55. Still waiting for one of you nitwits to actually answer my question:
    Liberals put forth that by attacking any Muslim country, that was just what Bin Laden wanted and creates more terrorists.
    We attacked Afghanistan, a Muslim country. Liberals all claim that was the proper course of action. So liberals are saying they were for playing into Bin Laden’s hands and creating more terrorists?

    ===========================================
    Libs went after Iraq because the casualties were higher, thus they figure that they can sell opposition to Iraq easier. If the casualty figures were reversed libs would claim that the Iraq invasion was a good idea but that the Afghanistan invasion was causing more terrorists. If we pull out of Iraq the libs will then demand that we pull out the troops from Afghanistan.

  56. americahater @ 101
    You support the war in Iraq, but you haven’t signed up to go fight it. Yet, you accuse liberals of lacking “guts”? You are a cowardly little slug who would never crawl out of your own basement to fight for any principle. You epitomize the warmongering rightwing. That is why you fuckers just had your asses handed to you.

    Typical dumbshit lib; you haven’t the slighest idea what you are talking about. There is about a 99.99999% chance that between us I’m the only one to have ever fought for our country, you stupid Frenchfuck.

  57. But please, keep pursuing your radical revenge agenda. Distracting investigations, dismantling the tools that have allowed Homeland Security to keep AQ from striking us again. Go full steam ahead with ever Bush hating measure you have come up with. Please. Pretty please with sugar in top. Oh and put nuts like Roger Rabbit front and center for all America to see what Democrats looke like. Let hims speak his mind too.

    ==========================================================
    Exactly, Americans need to be reminded how anti-American and kooky the libs are. Too bad the Frenchfuck libs don’t have the guts to practice what they preach and impeach Bush; but moonbats on parade in countless investigations will be almost as good.

    ‘07 will be a great year for conservatives.

  59. Lemme see now,. . .take yer shoes off, no, now no liquids , no, buy duct tape and saran wrap. Man I feel so much safer with Homeland Stupidity on the job. You don’t get it, but most Americans do. It’s time for the adults to take charge.

  60. Tree Frog Farmer @ 64:

    The standard word for “vagina” is 陰道 yin1 dao4. There are lots of slang words in different dialects, but none of the ones I know are very close to poon tang.

  62. fascistfirst: let me guess – all the dipshits you were rooting for in the election lost.

    Typical loser…

  63. The lex maniacs at the Oxford English Dictionary say that Poontang is probably French (from putain – prostitute). The first usage is 1929, well before any of the land wars in Asia. Believe what you want.

  64. ‘07 will be a great year for conservatives.

    No, it will not. The conservatives are getting out the long knives and forming circular firing squads to argue over who among them are the “real” conservatives. The neocons are jumping ship (cf latest issue of Vanity Fair).

    They are a corrupt, spent force. No matter how much lipstick you put on this pig–private greed is not a public virtue.

  65. Commentby phalangefirst— 11/9/06@ 6:52 pm

    Hey, our Phalangist buddy is back! I notice that you posted Pravda2006’s question without bothering to post the answer, so I’ll do it for you.

    Liberals put forth that by attacking any Muslim country, that was just what Bin Laden wanted and creates more terrorists.

    We attacked Afghanistan, a Muslim country. Liberals all claim that was the proper course of action. So liberals are saying they were for playing into Bin Laden’s hands and creating more terrorists?

    Commentby Pravda2006— 11/9/06@ 6:20 pm

    Ok, I answered this on another thread, but I can do it here too.

    First, when did “liberals” make the claim “attacking any Muslim country, that was just what Bin Laden wanted and creates more terrorists“? Somehow they left me off the distribution for that memo, and I missed getting that word.

    Liberals, yours truly included, did make the claim that attacking Iraq under the circumstances that we did would create more terrorists. According to several intelligence agencies, including our own CIA, that appears to be the case.

    I’m sure some liberal somewhere probably made the claim you stated, just as I can find some conservative somewhere that made the claim that we should simply nuke the entire Muslim world, killing every man, woman and child living there regardless of whether they’ve done us any harm, or even regardless of whether they were actually Muslim.

    Since your basic statement (that liberals had claimed that attacking any predominantly Muslim country would increase terrorism) is false, the rest of your question is meaningless.

    But, even if your basic statement were true, it would simply mean that we would have to decide if the goal was worth the increased risk.

    Was reducing or eliminating the ability of the terrorists to train in relative safety worth the risk of encouraging a few people to join them? I tend to think so.

    Was capturing the leader of a country that we had effectively neutralized and surrounded worth the thousands of US lives, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives, billions of dollars, and the vastly increased incentive to join the terrorists? No, I don’t think so.

    Does that clear it up for you, or should I use smaller words?

    Commentby John Barelli— 11/9/06@ 6:52 pm

    And to answer another of your posts:

    “‘07 will be a great year for conservatives.”

    Maybe, once the Republicans run the honest ones out of your party. I expect some of them will become Democrats and others will join the Libertarians (making that party more of a force in politics).

    You see, most liberals get along pretty well with honest conservatives. Different perspectives, but often the same goals. Real conservatives believe in smaller, less intrusive government. Real conservatives believe in the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Real conservatives believe in finding ways to help folks that do not intrude on their personal liberty.

    We have our differences, but we can hold discussions with honest conservatives, often finding ways to accommodate their goals while working towards ours. Quite often the goals are not mutually exclusive.

    Heck, there is a rather large percentage of Democrats that would have been considered conservative, back before the neo-cons somehow preempted the term.

    Yes, conservative Democrats may well have a good year in ’07, but you neocons and fascists are going to have a really lousy year. Don’t worry. You can always blame it on President Clinton.

  66. 2 truth

    Yes, by all means, let’s look at the daily fluctuations of the weighted average of the selected stocks in the DJIA and interpret each one as the public’s reaction to Harry Reid’s choice of drapes in the Majority Leader’s office.

    You’d do as well to kill a chicken and examine the entrails.

  67. 55 56 57

    Previouys post to “Truth:”

    “Liberals put forth that by attacking any Muslim country, that was just what Bin Laden wanted and creates more terrorists.“

    Wow, your comprehension is really lacking. I told you about this and gave you a link. You could have followed the link and read it to understand what was going on; instead, you attribute the conclusion to “liberals” and then try to set up your very clever trap. Hope I don’t fall into it?

    Anyway, the 9/11 commission stated only that “ ‘a source reported that an individual whom he identified as the big instructor‘ (probably a reference to Bin Ladin) complained frequently that the United States had not yet attacked. According to the source, Bin Ladin wanted the United States to attack, and if it did not he would launch something bigger.”

    So it was the 9/11 commission and their source, and not “liberals,” who “put that forth.”

    Then, you set the trap:

    “We attacked Afghanistan, a Muslim country. Liberals all claim that was the proper course of action.“

    Counldn’t be further from the truth. Many people opposed the invasion of Afghanistan. For example, I did not oppose the invading Afghanistan as a means to get to the perps of 9/11, but I opposed the Bush administration stonewalling the legitimate Afghani government’s reasonable requests for US to share the information that led them to believe bin Laden was at fault before they’d turn him over to us, and I oppposed the US subsequently invading as lacking legitimacy because of it.

    However, that said, the US military action WAS popular and supported by lots and lots of people of all political stripes because of the 9/11 attacks. Weird, huh?

    “So liberals are saying they were for playing into Bin Laden’s hands and creating more terrorists?“

    The 9/11 commission report came out in 2004. It’s the president’s actions and Republican suppport for same since we found out (a) that it’s part of bin Laden’s plan and (b) that we’re creating more and not fewer jihadists in Iraq that we have turned against, as sensible, non-ideologically blindered people SHOULD do.

    Not that bin Laden favoring or not favoring a course should be the basis of our foreign policy. But when our intelligence services all concur that he’s right, we should fucking think about it for a fucking minute.

    And that, children, is how the Republicans lost the Congress.

  68. This is a good one:

    “Distracting investigations, dismantling the tools that have allowed Homeland Security to keep AQ from striking us again.”

    Yes, we mustn’t question the president or do anythign to keep him from wielding unilimted power, or it might be a “distraction.” I know how concerned you guys are about such things, because I noticed that after the first WTC bombing, and after the US embassies in Tanzania and Kenya were attacked by alqaida, the Republican refrained from doing anything that wound distract the president out of respect for the office and their strong desire to keep AMerica safge. Oh, except for that little impeachment. We’ll use that behavior as our guide.

    And no one will “take away tools” unless you count requiring teh executinve following our laws and our international treaties, and reinstating habeas corpus before the courts do to be “taking away tools.”

  69. Regarding secret, warrantless wiretapping of US residents…

    “rather than move to authorize the program, Democrats said they would push in January to investigate how the program had been run . . . . ”

    It’s secret, so we don’t even know what’s been happening. But THIS (finally!) is how open, transparent government of, by, and for the people works. Public officials are in on what our republic does. If there’s nothing wrong, all the better. If someone who has been operating unaccountably has been doing something illegal or unconstitutional (which is the hazard of any untrammeled branch of government), then we need to freakin’ fix it.

    We’re all patriots here, and everyone wants “terrorist sleeper cells” or whatever else keeps Republicans hiding under the bed to be caught and punished. Some of us just want a little more assurance that our government is not spying on us all along the way. And that the either follow our laws or request new ones wiht some good reasons instead of just ignoring them. Down that road lies dicatorship.
