Today’s winner: Rick Moran!
To be fair, Rick would have been Saturday’s winner if I had not spent the weekend “roughing it” with homemade cider, strawberries in Hershey’s fondue and scads of beer.
Congratulations to Rick. We encourage him to take a victory lap and then peruse the Harper’s article that saw his idiotic excuse projection coming years in advance.

Remember when US Policy had bold and inspiring names like “The Marshall Plan” and “Mutual Assured Destruction”? What does it say when our White House policy gets reduced to “The Chewbacca Defense”, “The Tinkerbell Strategy”, and “The Scooby-Doo Villian Excuse”? I miss the Cold War.

I think you mis-spelled his name.
Oh well, it’s nice to know the libruls are so powerful that they can wreak such havoc when they’re in the minority. Imagine, the libruls screwed up the efforts of the finest military in the world, just by whining! And smoking large amounts of hash, whilst worshipping Cthulu one reckons. They’re unstoppable!
Now that there is a one seat majority I hope Mr. Moran is prepared for his mandatory marriage to an eligible male (an islamofascist terrorist of course), followed by several forced abortions.

Not enough guilt-tripping. Here’s another candidate:

I’ve never understood why anyone would pay any attention to Rick Moron.
Seriously. I never saw him make a coherent argument for anything, ever. He’s just a chucker, a guy who stands by the road and throws rocks at the passing cars.
Oh, but he’s a “friend” of the blog, right? I think that was the term. So we have to talk nicely about him.
Cordially, Rick, go f–k yourself.

People point to Bush, or the Iraq war, or whatever, as what will make my generation (I’m 24) so enduringly Democratic or liberal or whatever. But for me personally, I’d really point to that article and a few similar ones, or maybe it would be more accurate to credit the trend they describe rather than the articles themselves. I’ve read the historical facts in there before, but that common thread between them… what the hell is wrong with
the Republican partyOK, to be fair, the remaining 28 percent?Punchy
PoTD.

Don’t forget the recreational abortions. Oh, and forcing people to gay marry. Unstoppable indeed!

I’d say it’s honest to label the 26%ers as the Republican party. The dead-enders still comprise the majority of that party.
Any good coach will tell you, strategy, preparation, and tactics have nothing to do with winning and losing – it’s all about how many pom-poms and bodypainted fans are at the game.
When the people with pom-poms start leaving the stadium, it means they no longer want to win. This fan exodus triggers a loss almost immediately. That’s why we should fire underperforming fans rather than coaches. That’s just common sense in the post-9/11 world.
Thankfully, our wounds from this national tragedy will have healed by January, 2009, so we can go back to testing evening gowns for presidential DNA.

See, his prophesy is self-fulfilling!
You are denying and getting downright nasty because only Rick Moron speaks the truth.

This level of commentary in the comments is great:
Our Democrat elites hate Bush more than they love their country or their children.
This is strange and dangerous, but at least now we know.
Speaking as one of those “Democrat elites”, it amazes me how we got so many people to hate Bush so much. I mean, how did we get people to hate Bush more than they love their children? We are evil geniuses.

We got the Librul Hoochie Coochie.
28 Percent
You do not understand our troops are like MnMs hard on the outside and sometimes a little sticky if its damp but the inside can go all soft and melty because even though they are tough they are sensitive about mom and apple pie and NY Times editorials calling for withdrawl which they would never read themselves because they are good Americans and so are theyre families but they find out about it maybe from coworkers or something and tell the poor troops. So they get melty and without the solid chocolate inside, the “hard outer shell cracks it can not help it.
So is what liberals want, huh? instead of bright, hard MnMs they want our soldiers crushed into a gooey brown mess. For shame!
28 Percent
It is unnatural that is certain but when you do not go to CHURCH and learn to LOVE JESUS you can revert to barbarism and do all kinds of unnatural things.
Rome Again
Hmmm, before Jesus came along, the Old Testament said you should never drink blood. When people go to church, they often drink from the cup that (although make believe) holds Jesus’ blood. Why did the old man say it wasn’t okay and the son says it is? Is God a flip-flopper too? Talk about doing unnatural things, I see more unnatural things done in a church then I see outside of one.

Well given this admin’s standards I do believe we all qualify for a presidential medal of freedom. YEE-HAW!!!

Oh you mean actually live and enjoy our lives rather than living in perpetual guilt and constantly berating ourselves for being human?

Fixed.

Thank you Zifnab you are mostly right Jesus changed everything. Also we do not drink blood we use grape kool-aid.
chopper
wow, here i thought jesus was this jewish dude from galilee. instead, he’s a giant red glass pitcher that bursts through walls yelling “OH YEAH”.
‘drink of this kool-aid, for it is my blood’.
i also won’t remark on the concept of ‘drinking the kool-aid’ as well.
Cernig
The 26%-ers gave up on drinking the Kool-Aid a year ago. Not enough of an effect. Now they just snort the raw powder.

Um…If you had bothered to read the post, I quoted extensively from that Harper’s article.
How idiotic is it to take someone to task for what they write and not bother to read it?
jrg
The readers can decide. It’s missing a link, though…
7X% of Americans are against the war because it’s going badly, it’s expensive, it’s killing our soldiers and Iraqi civilians, it risks further destabilization of the middle east, it strengthens Iran (who does not have imaginary nuclear capability), and it’s damaged our international reputation.
I find it amusing that you label the left as paranoid, when you’re promoting the idea of a vast anti-Bush conspiracy, proxied through undermining support for the Iraq war. The whole post is amusing, really – because liberals think Bush is dimwitted and incapable, Iraq was a good idea?
As if the right was supportive of Clinton’s international interventions? As if the Iraq war would have turned out better if there was even less dissent and discussion of it’s consequences, prior to the first shot fired?
If you’ll excuse me, my head hurts from banging it against a door frame. I think I’ll go find a liberal to tell me I’m an idiot. Maybe then it will stop hurting.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but that means that you read the article and then chose to prove them 100% right. That’s spoof territory my dear.
