How do you, Gil, or that charlatan VDH {insert Liberal talking head here} claim to know Obama's George W. Bush's or {evil corporation X's} motivation for anything?  Do you know him?  Do you work in the White House?  I hate the self-serving conservative liberal insider talk that claims to know EVERYTHING about EVERY Democrat's Republican's motivation behind anything.  Bullshit, I say.


It ain't just the self-serving Conservatives'd.

Unnamed Liberal Talking Head does it, too!

Everybody's doing it. Therefore it's cool.

the Talking Heads were never cool.

Hey now! Nerds need music too.

I thought the Hampton Grease Band had settled this once and for all.

The real problem in this country today is that our "leaders" don't lead.  Hell, they don't even serve.  They see their offices as jobs they are entitled to.

And, how do I know this?  Their actions.  Everything they do is about their re-election, not what's best for the country.

For those of you unfamiliar with Chuck's cure-all for the various problems that plague our American polity, that's it in a nut shell.

That is: we need to elect candidates who are there to serve not these clowns we have now whose only job is to get re-elected.

It's a solution so simple, I'm amazed no one's thought of it before.

You heard the man... Get to it, America!

It's the right solution.  And it's not simple for a multitude of reasons, #1 of which would be the need to tell the American people this truth: "You are about too see some combination of your taxes going up and the services you receive being cut.  The free ride is over."

Truth as a campaign slogan hardly ever works.

It's not a "solution" at all... it's a cliche.

Or, if you prefer, a lofty ideal.

An abstract ideal that's all but meaningless unless you're actually proposing a way to realize it.

Otherwise you're just more or less bitching about how those gutless fucking clowns in Congress did it again.

Fork, do you wake up each day and try to outdo all the wrong statements you've made during the previous days of your life?
Because if you do you've got your work cut out for you tomorrow.



Their lack of coolness was part of their whole thing.

I swaw what you did there.

Now the Whitehouse is laying claim to the success in Iraq, nevermind that Biden and Obama did everything to stop the troop surge and claimed it would never work.

I really can't understand how any of you people who voted for these ass clowns believe anything coming out of their mouths.

Victor Davis Hanson...

QuoteThe problem with Obama's new hedging on taxing those who make below $250,000, or his administration's taking credit for victory in the Iraq war that they so once fervently tried to abort, or the flip-flop on renditions and tribunals, or the embarrassments over closing Guantanamo and trying KSM in New York or Mirandizing the Christmas Day bomber,or trashing/praising Wall Street grandees, is not that presidents cannot change their minds as circumstances warrant, or even that all politicians are at times hypocritical. No, the rub is that Obama is not merely flipping and triangulating on issues in a desperate attempt to shadow the polls, but he is doing so on matters that he once swore were absolutely central to his entire candidacy and his signature hope-and-change agenda.

Next week the White House will be taking credit for defeating Hitler and Joe Biden's awesome leadership for rebuilding Europe and bringing our troops home.
You do blame him for everything, so he is allowed to take credit for this, no?

Term limits would be a good start.  Like, for example, a single eight year term for a president (given that re-election tends to be pretty likely unless your name is Carter).  And maybe single terms for Congressmen/Senators, too.  Take the whole campaigning thing out of it. 

You'd certainly neuter lobbyists by doing this.  Then again, I have no idea if its even constitutional.

You'd certainly neuter lobbyists by doing this.  Then again, I have no idea if its even constitutional. 

The Confederate Constitution called for a single, six-year term for their president.  It also gave the president a line-item veto, and also stated that any bill, or any resolution carrying the force of law, could only deal with a single subject, which had to be stated in the title.

It was actually pretty impressive, save for that whole slavery thing.
This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.

I believe "Actually pretty impressive, save for that whole slavery thing" is the slogan above the visitor center in Charleston. That or "South Carolina is So Gay." I don't know. I don't read latin.

Evan Bayh echos yours truly:

"But running for the sake of winning an election, just to remain in public office, is not good enough," Bayh said. "And it has never been what motivates me. At this time I simply believe I can best contribute to society in another way: creating jobs by helping grow a business, helping guide an institution of higher learning or helping run a worthy charitable endeavor."

Good for him.

Evan Bayh echos yours truly:

"But running for the sake of winning an election against a credible candidate, just to remain in public office, is not good enough fair," Bayh said. "And it has never been what motivates me I've had to do. I'm Birch Bayh's son, and while Dad lost his seat to Dan Quayle in the 1980s, I've run for Governor and Senate against luminaries like these: John Mutz, Linley Pearson, Paul Helmke and Marvin Scott. At this time I simply believe I can best Dan Coats will raise some moeny and run a campaign that will be attractive to Hoosiers carrying some remorse for going Dem for President for the first time since 1964. Thus, contribute to society in another way: creating jobs by helping grow a business, helping guide an institution of higher learning or helping run a worthy charitable endeavor."
