I don't usually curse on the internet, but that is biggest pile of steaming shit I have ever seen.

No wonder. It's Republican.

I saw this on a few other sites but didn't watch it until now. That is abso-freakin-lutely ridiculous.

The hypocracy and stench oozes forth

Look, if we can't muster the cojones to impeach flagrant criminals, ads like that are about our speed.

My gaydar ain't throbbin' fer this one, bubba. But I ain't one a them, anyway. Some a my best friends are. Theirs don't tingle, neither.
However, my bullshit detector went offscale. Yeeeehaw!

We gotta to take work where we can find it ... these dayz.
... But we ain't that dumb ... So john, where's da BEEF, . . .

I would reckon that that video has got to be joke. It was mighty funny. Was it a take of the Daniel Boone theme song? Even showed the guy and his wife wearing matching buckskin coats. I ain't gonna be rustlin' cattle in his neck 'o the woods, that's fer sure.

"Big Bad John, The Fascist"
Lyrics from Wikipedia

In 2005, Cornyn voted against including oil and gas smokestacks in mercury regulations.

He voted against factoring global warming into federal project planning,

and against banning drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

He voted against reducing oil usage by 40%, rather than by 5%.

He also voted against removing oil and gas exploration subsidies.[14]

During his tenure in the Senate, Cornyn has scored 0% on the League of Conservation Voter's environmental scorecard,

Cornyn is "Big Oil's ten favorite members of Congress,"

as he has received more money from the oil and gas industry than all but six other members of Congress.[16]

Big John, Big Bad John, the Fascist
www.FascistMedia.com

Every mornin' in Congress you could hear him arrive,
Stood 6 foot two and weighed 445,
Kinda narrow at the shoulder and broad at the hip, No oil company banquet could ever fill his lip,

Cornholin'

Air Force - everywhere's the Air Force.
Real cowboys get dirt on their boots.
Anybody seen any dirt on Cornyn's boots?
If not, who's his "Rough-Riders?"

What could them rethugs be thinkin . . .

In Jimmy Dean's tune Big Bad John sure don't

sound anything like a Cornholin Fascist Tycoon republican!

When they pass gay marriage laws, developers 'n land-grabbers wearin' those expensive cowboy boots-'n showy-hats can finally marry the politicians they've been in bed with all these years.

(And make it all legal.... he... he... he...)

I should've spelt it John Cornholyn.
(I'll lay odds this creep is the type that diddles little boys)

The problem with Box Turtle Cornyn, is his Dem opponent Rick Noriega is a Iraq War Vet who's polling real close and could knock him out of the Senate. Don't laugh, this hokey shit sells in this crazy state. The thicker the better.

Adam upthread,
It's idiots like Cornyn that leave my area under a red ozone alert, in which the local weatherman makes excuses saying the red alert really isn't bad for everyone. Wrong. The air never used to be this polluted until Dubya's reign as governor, and now Perry and Cornyn and Hutchison and Smokey Joe Barton. But people here will buy into this shitty ad all the way.

Well, there is hardly anyone in this congress who represents this "we" (meaning myself). Kucinich probably comes the closest yet I saw him yesterday with a fuking flag pin on his lapel (the thing probably read "Made In China"). I thought: NOT YOU TOO! Take that damn thing off, Kucinich. That damn Nazi logo which is what the U.S. flag represents now (and has since 2000). It's the new Nazi logo.

First it was Mr "Hope/Change" Obama who had to start wearing one on his lapel. And now look... Kucinich has one on. Of course members of the Bush-Republicrat Crime Syndicate have been wearing the Nazi logo on their lapel since 11 September 2001. So Kucinich is not in very good company by pinning one of those things on his lapel. I would expect it from Mr "Hope/Change" Obama.

And if Mr "Hope/Change" Obama were really for legitimate, positive CHANGE as he implies with his meaningless bullshit propaganda of saying the word "change" in every other sentence, Obama would be rallying behind Kucinich's articles of impeachment 100%. But instead, Mr "Hope/Change" is silent on impeachment, like the typical Bush-enabling Dem.

Now, someone will probably come along and say in a whiny voice "well who are YOU for Erma, if not (our lord and saviour) Obama?"

Nader/Gonzales

or

Cynthia McKinney

Either will provide positive change, not the status quo.

Obama and McCain = the status quo.

And of course a vote for Obama or McCain will take votes away from McKinney or Nader.

Erma

I think the thinking behind just wearing the pins is that it is the small shit and not worth the hassle, that there are bigger fish to fry. I could hang with that thinking if I thought they were really going to fry bigger fish, but, pfeh, the only fish they've been frying are us. I do think Dennis standing up for nearly five hours, reading *'s crimes into the Congressional Record, especially with his promise to come back with 60+ more articles if they don't take the first 35 up inside a month, really lets him out of the congresscrapper™ zone.

Agent 99,

Yes, I think perhaps Kucinich thinks he will appear/look more "patriotic" with his little flag pin on his lapel while he's pumping out articles of impeachment. There are those who will see him as being more credible just because he's wearing a flag pin. Ugh god.

No, he's not in the congresscrapper™ zone or the Constitutioncrapper™ zone either.

But why is it that it's always the Dems who enable the Repugs whether it's on the small things or the big things?

You know, Erma, ever since 9/11 I've pretty much been unable to see an American flag without flying into a rage, but they really have a point about it being a battle not worth fighting right now. We are on the brink of WWIII, our government is turning fascist in a terrifying way, and the planetary emergency of global warming is not going to wait for us to be ready to address it. Next to those things, the little symbolic-of-nothing gestures like who does or does not wear flag pins are utterly pointless little distractions.

Agent 99,

Oh I know that the flag pins are nothing in the big scheme of things. But my point was that the flag pins are part of the scheme of things meaning the fascist neocon conspiracy agenda against this country, which the Dems are part of and going along with 100%, even down to the fuking flag pins.

Go check out some of the comments section about him at the Plain Dealer website.
Kucinich has been labeled a kook (again) by the Corporate media up there. The R trolls are hitting him hard.

He might get McKinneyed in his home district, in other words he might not make it this time.

Please, flag pins were normal 28 years ago, remeber the time, the time before Propaganda Neo-con style was aired?

If you dis DK because of a flag pin over all his nearly singluarly heroic defense of the Constitution, you are just a pawn in the Neo-cons plans.

Stick to facts and 150 year old Constitutional principles, ignore superficial BS.

Trollage...dissing Democrats and leaving Republicans alone but taking money from them, Nader style

LOL.

Oh here we go again with that. Oh yes why not, drag that crap out once more. It's typical Dem koolaid drinking pabulum. That's the best way to describe it. I've heard this pabulum since 2000. It's gotten pretty old by now but some people still cling to it.

It reminds me of the mentality of the typical fundamentalist christian who wants no criticism whatsoever of their church, their god, their minister, nothing. Even if the criticism might help improve the church. Criticism of anything having to do with their church is "the work of the devil" says the fundamentalist christian.

And then one comes on here and other sites and one is essentially told (by some thin-skinned people) that any criticism of the Dems is "the work of Karl Rove" or "a pawn in the Neocons plan."

LOL. Oh man. That's rich.

The fact is, NO ONE is above criticism or above reproach as far as I'm concerned. I don't give a damn who the person is or what party they are with or if they have a party. As one example, in the past I have made some critical remarks about Nader, Matt Gonzales and McKinney and I will be voting for either Nader or McKinney (if there is an "election") in November. I don't care how much good a politician has done, if they do something I don't like I say it. No one is sacrosanct as far as I'm concerned. I don't put politicians up on this pedestal, like some of you seem to do.

And it's this unconditional blind loyalty/worship to these politicians that some people have been programmed with which drives me up the damn wall. As I said, the mentality is no different than that of a fundamentalist "christian." It's exactly the same.

The other night Mike Malloy told it like it is and he said despite all the good that John Conyers has done in his career, as far as Malloy is concerned----and I agree with him---it has all been negated by Conyers serving as a Bush-enabler by blocking impeachment of these war criminals. Absolutely.

But if Malloy came on here and said that, judging by some of the thin-skinned comments here, Malloy would likely be called the ubiquitous word "troll" which some people like to drag out when someone tells the truth about a politician that others can't bear to hear. Malloy would be called a "Repug-enabler" and a "pawn of the Repugs" and "doing the work of Karl Rove" and other such Dem koolaid drinking drivel, that's the best way to describe it.

And it's BULL SHIT!

I swear, the Dem koolaid drinkers (read: unconditional blind allegiance to the Dems) certainly don't do themselves any service when they act like such delicate, weak, fragile, can't-bear-to-hear-the-truth pansies who seem to have this unconditional blind worship for these scum of the Earth Republicrat politicians.

When will some people stop acting like delicate little wet doilies who can't bear to hear any criticism (as in the TRUTH) of these useless Dems?

And anyone who does take on the Dems is somehow a "pawn" and a "troll" and all this other nonsense. It reminds me of grade school stuff. And it's no wonder that the Dems are in the condition that they are in when they have such pathetic thin-skinned, wet-doily type people supporting them BLINDLY. Because the Dems have learned from past "elections" that no matter what they do for war criminals Bush/Cheney that the Dem koolaid drinkers will be right there supporting them regardless. The suckers.

Get some thicker skin people if you can't bear to hear the truth told about these worthless Dems, regardless of who they are.

As for Kucinich, I have praised him on this forum. My only criticism of him so far has been the flag pin. For those who don't like that criticism of Kucinich: Too damn bad. Tough luck. I don't care whether you like it or not.

Why would most people on here diss the Repugs when most people on here are quite intelligent and informed and because most people are intelligent and informed on here they would know that the Repugs act/behave/vote exactly as one has come to expect them to act. The scum.

I diss the Dems because since 2000, they have NOT acted/behaved/voted as I would expect a so-called OPPOSITION PARTY to act/behave/vote. They have behaved/voted/acted like an BUSH ENABLING PARTY. That is NOT what they are supposed to be. And that is why the Dems are dissed. Duh.

Is this that difficult to understand? I think not.
If one wants to understand it, that is.

Erma, you change the party from within, you don't bail on them like Ralph did. The two party system will always exist with the third party as a spoiler until we get a new form of the way we vote for the candidates, i.e. instant run off and like systems.

As far as weak Dems go, I agree, but with the corporate media on their ass 24/7 pushing loser Republican talking points, #1 they are walking on hot coals, #2 not everyone is as liberal as we are in their views because of the CMSM.

Knee Jerk politics doesn't work, it is a slow process to change the way things are.

...and check this out, a blue dog Dem is pushing for the first thing we need to get a third party into the process.
Bill Nelson d-Fl is pushing to get rid of the electoral college, then we can push for another way to vote for the candidates.

As far as I'm concerned we got what we deserved for not speaking out during the 80's when this shit all started heading downhill.

For Shame

Another thing, just you wait until they try to pass a nationalized healthcare bill and hit Wall street and Big Oil with some new regulations.
This will make the contributions to the Republicans by Big Tobacco and The Big Three automakers look like a pikers dream in comparison.

The Dems will be hit hard in 2012.

Well, you go right ahead and waste your time trying to do that and see how far you get. I want nothing to do with the Republicrats. People have been speaking and writing that drivel since 2000 and you see the state of things don't you? It's only gotten worse with every passing day despite this "change the party from within" bullshit nonsense. And you really expect to do that with these easily-hackable electronic voting machines all over the place? LOL. Dream on.

Changing a corporatist pro-war party from within would be about as likely as me walking into the corporate headquarters of Halliburton or Bechtel and changing those corporations. IT AIN'T GOING TO HAPPEN. The bottom line with that scenario: Either I (and people like me) follow THEM at Bechtel or Halliburton, or they show me the door. Period.

But you go right ahead and waste your time trying to change some dead-assed party from within and see how far you get and then come back here in---oh say 10 years or more---and give us a "progress report" on how it's going. Okay?

I swear, one wonders where some people come from.

Erma, and you're going to do what except piss and moan???

An ideology with a minority of support will get you nowhere except maybe a ride on the short bus to hell

Comment #23 wrote:

I was thinking about this after I wrote my comment last night.

There's nothing "heroic" about what Kucinich is doing. He's just doing the job he's paid to do. He took an oath to uphold the Constitution and that's what he's doing. To some people it may appear to be "heroic" only because the Traitors in congress aren't doing the job they are paid to do to uphold the Constitution. Instead, they are serving as Bush-enablers. So, there's no need for one to bow and scrape to Kucinich and worship the man just because he's doing his job, unlike the others. That's what he's paid to do and the job comes with full health coverage too.

Why are you concerned about what I do? It seems to me that you have more than enough to do as it is if you plan to follow through on your dream goal of changing the Dead Democratic Party from within without concerning yourself with what Erma does or what Erma is going to do. Why do you care what I do? What is that important to you? Focus on yourself. You have a tremendously big job ahead of you which will require all the resources you have and then some without caring in the least what Erma is doing. I don't sit around wondering what other people who comment are going to do....LOL. Sigh. Oh lord.

Whose alter ego does Erma remind you of? LOL, Oh Lordy, Christ on a crutch

Floridiot,

The TRUTH hurts doesn't it.

And here's some more TRUTH. Here's another way that the useless and worthless Bush-enabling Dems are trying to keep "impeachment off the table" and help put their friend McCain in the White House.
The wiretap deal makes everything that the Bush Republicrat Crime Syndicate have done legal. The White House is delighted over the Democrat giveaway. Meanwhile, some Dem koolaid drinking suckers say "we must support the Dems!" By your continued support of the Dems you are their enablers while they enable the Repugs. Therefore, you are enabling the Repugs as well:

No, you just hijack every thread with snarky insults, put-downs, and sharpened huffy-puffy posts while offering no solutions--just endless criticism for good people who are doing their best to come up with some. Most of whom, it should be noted, already agree with you! Your intolerance is becoming intolerable. Your pious rage has been duly noted. Now, can you please dial it down a notch or two or even three? WE GET IT.

Comment #37

Oh you get it? That's very good. You're the first. Congratulations. Thank you for being intelligent enough to "get it."

Now, the rest of the Dem koolaid drinkers have to be convinced, if that's possible.

And I have offered my solutions repeatedly. Your inability to read and comprehend what I write is what really is the problem.

There are really easy solutions here:

Nader/Gonzales

or

Cynthia McKinney

One just has to be intelligent enough to vote for either and stop drinking the koolaid. It's very simple.

Erma ~ I'm in agreement with much of what you have to say but I'm going to give it one more try with the Obama. Considering the inspiration of the youth and the millions of small contributers speaking with their hard earned cash.

If a third party candidate did win ... What could they actually leverage and accomplish rite now ?

It's strange how Erma continues to get away with making insults against other posters at BradBlog. I used to get attacked by Agent99 for pointing out bad links or wondering how anyone could say they could alter the weather with their own mind. This is the same Agent99 who attacked Cindy Sheehan in the past. Maybe Brad is just too busy to see how his forum is being badly moderated.

Has anyone else noticed Erma throwing in bold edits as if someone from BradBlog was making the added comments? The one thing I like about this place is we cannot make edits. People cannot alter their posts after the fact. That is a good thing.

I always wondered why more people don't post here like in the past. I'm not really wondering about that anymore. It's as if that was the plan. That's what happens to every forum on the internet. The ptb's don't want people to have freedom of association.

Bamboo Harvester, #39

Well, I could rattle off the things that Nader and McKinney have said they would like to accomplish, but that info is on the Internet for anyone interested.

Since 2000 (and since the Dems became the majority in power in 2006) they have given Bush:

Alito
Roberts
USAPATRIOT ACT
2 illegal terrorist attacks/wars/occupations and war appropriations
endless torture
spying on US populations
immunity for the Telcoms for illegal spying
AND IMPEACHMENT OFF THE TABLE.

And the Dems have been in control now since 2006 and what do we have? The same shit.

And Mr "Hope/Change" Obama is already backing down to the right-wing trash...lapel flag pin, no universal health care, continued spying and torture, attack on Iran and Pakistan (he has talked about attacking both)...

So really, just as one example Nader and McKinney could veto bad bills and still get twice as much done as all the Dems put together, including the entire 8+ year history of the Bush Republicrat Crime Syndicate.

Oh, and I forgot one other thing:

Giving the OK to Bush to attack Iran without congressional approval.

Dems = Repugs. They are the same.

And there is no way any one can intelligently now say they are not the same, unless one is living in Denial and drinking plenty of koolaid. I mean, how much more does one need to see? The Dems have done ZERO except enable the Repugs and give The People a smidge more on minimum wage. Other than that, NOTHING.

I must say I have heard this "one more try" (you voting for Obama) stuff over and over. People say it one "election" cycle after the other and the results are always the same. It's like taking another sip of the koolaid. Each sip just reinforces the pro-war corporate right-wing agenda.

I don't know what the Dems would do without that koolaid.

I'm glad I don't drink.

I'm not surprised. The TRUTH and challenging some of the comments made by others often does piss people off. I'm well aware of that.

You seem to imply that I have so much power that I'm able to change the way people vote by what I say. That's a first. No one has told me that before.

And if one were solid in their own political views and candidate, whatever I have to say would not sway them one way or the other. But of course it is a given that you are free to vote for Mr "Hope/Change" Obama if there is an "election."

"Poppy-head?"

I hate to be a bothersome "poppy-head" but here we go again. The Bush-enabling Dems are escalating and pushing for a total embargo around Iran which is an act of war and is illegal. The IAEA has said they cannot find any WMDs or programmes. But yet, the Dems along with their close friends the Repugs are trying to egg-on a war. Why? Here comes the TRUTH part: War-profiteering. The bourgeois elite will be very wealthy over these wars. Sorry, for the TRUTH. "Poopy-head" signing off. You can read about it here:

Okay. Chill. Please. Everyone.

Erma, you have made yer goddam point now ad nauseam. Please give us all a break. You do NOT have to come right back at everyone. Just because YOU are in a fighting mood doesn't mean everyone has to pay, does it? Even though I don't think your comments have risen to the level of outright personal attacks, there comes a point where the ceaseless put-downs really interferes with the flow of the threads.

Jeannie, I am sorry, maybe I'm just dulled out, but it doesn't seem to me that Erma is really attacking people so much as just taking everything out on us... venting.... It's not always black and white. Brad wants people to be able to disagree without attacking each other, and sometimes the one feels just like it's the other, but not necessarily so.
