He only got elected once in 2004.

Not unless you consider the 5/4 Supreme Court decision in 2000 to be an "election". I never knew the Supreme Court had the power to arbitrarily rule the winner of a close presidential election instead of doing a proper recount of the Florida ballots but that must have been something I missed when I read the Constitution.

If Sandra Day O'Connor had any sense of shame, she'd spend her remaining years bolting awake in the middle of the night screaming from her nightmares, followed by sobs of "My God, what have I done?"

Nope, I'm never going to get over it.

Well its the same as saying 9/11 was conspiracy despite all the evidence of election fraud torture in Abu gharaib or the levees being bombed if u just pretend it never happened and there's no evedince of it happening then you'll prevent yourself from standing on a street corner with a cardboard sign screaming at strangers.

Don't worry. Except for the top 1% (and the Teabaggers who are divorced from reality anyway), they will soon enough.

Pfffftttt....the radical left needs a new campaign strategy. You guys have been touting that same old crap for the past six years. The war on this, the war on that. Racial inequality, income inequality. Class warfare, income distribution....yada, yada, yada. It took six years of Barack and the democrats before the voters finally decided that far left policies are only good for the shitter.

I started to tune out at "Sonny boy". He was lecturing not arguing. At the time I simply did not have the patience to listen to an internet crackpot. If he has real credentials....credentials which lend credibility to his "argument", then should be willing to share them with us. For all I know this clown got his degree from a cracker jack box and the business he runs is a lemon aid stand on the corner of Delusion and Grandeur.

I'll go back an read his "argument" when my agitation with him has worn off.

Nope, not giving you details of my personal life and give up the protection of anonymity, especially since I live in a deeply Christian red state area. My demonstrated knowledge of business should be sufficient. Otherwise, deal with it. Either way, refute my arguments if you can.

I can understand your desire to remain anonymous....I like to maintain my anonymity as well. But you can't have it both ways....You can't expect us to respect your credentials(if you indeed have any) without sharing the details of those credentials with us. If you want to remain anonymous....that's fine...just shut up about who you are and make your arguments.

I agree.

The Democrats had no campaign strategy this last election except for panic, run around in circles like little chickshits, loudly whining like private Hudson in Aliens 2 ("Game over man! Game over!"). Pretty damn pathetic, on that much we might might agree.

So, like in 2010, demoralized young people stayed home and overall voter turnout was low. Democrat leaders should write a big note to self, "the whiney chickenshit strategy is neither inspiring to the base nor appealing to independent voters".

But 2008, 2010, 2012 weren't trends. The media pronounced the losing party dead in all three. 2014 won't be either. See you in 2016.

Quote:Get over it.

As a patriotic American who loves his country and his constitution more than any political party, I won't get over it when someone steals an election.

Ever.

I'm planning for my dying words on my death bed to be, "W Bush stole the 2000 election."

Already done, Whineypants. It's nicely broken into easily digestible paragraphs with easy to read bullet points. I've done everything but sit you down in your high chair and spoon feed you. Do you need me to do that for you, too? *Cheerful voice* "Here comes the airplane for a landing. Open wide. Bbbbbbbb."

I mean, I know it's easier to watch Fox Noise and get some repeated talking points that are easy on the brain cells and pretend that's enough but god damn boy, summon the energy to read a few paragraphs and educate yourself. Your open admission that your problem is intellectual laziness has a simple and obvious solution.

And your whining about your poor hurt little fee fees is really pathetic.

You've earned nothing but contempt with your sloppy, lazy ass approach to our discussion where you openly admit you can't be bothered to fucking read the damn posts you're responding to. At least A Theist reads before he posts. Maybe he can teach you how to read and write.

Gore initially tried to steal it by cherry picking which precincts got recounted and which did not.

As far as a statewide recounts done by the media...some found in favor of Bush...some found in favor of Gore. I depended on what standard was used.

Yeah, if the democrats blocked anything, they did it for reasons. When the republicans did it, it was because they had a policy of making it as hard as possible for Obama to get anything done. Don't pretend like they're remotely similar situations. Dodgy

Quote:Now potentially all Obama has to do is compromise with the republicans since they control both houses. This should be apparent unless you assume that the democrats are mindless zombies who vote at the beck and call of Obama, or that Obama is a puppet of the congressional democrats.

Yeah, except that unlike you, I remember what the republicans' idea of a compromise was before they controlled both houses. I remember their unwavering demands to be completely catered to at every turn, and that if they didn't get that they'd work to burn down as much of the dems' work as they could, heedless to the cost to the people, all the while couching their refusal to come to a compromise as a... you know, compromise in accusations that Obama just isn't being "reasonable" to their side by not giving them everything they want immediately. I remember the republican side who would rather have the government shut down than do their jobs, and I'm wondering why you think compromise- true compromise and not just your little right wing heart getting everything it wants- will be remotely possible now that those same people have even more power.

Obama threatened to shut down government too.....but you conveniently forget that. He made his threats and ultimatums just like everyone else. Reid shut down the republicans in the Senate by not letting their amendments be voted on. Whats worse is the douchebag started to shut down the amendments of the democrats too. Typically 2% of amendments come the majority leader....but towards the end...30% of the amendments were coming from Reid. The asshole began to monopolize power in the senate. Good riddance to him.

Kudos for adding content to this threat(I'm being sarcastic if your too dumb to figure that out).
