I still don't get why DG claims that conservatives always lie.

And after I've explained it so thoroughly to you? Sigh.

Show of hands - who is still following the Berkut - DGuller debate?

I am, though they seem to just be repeating themselves now. At this point I've decided who's most reasonable on the different points of contention, obviously.

If I was Obama I wouldn't want a second term having to deal with that kind of chronic grief. 

Perhaps you people should elect Republicans both in Congress and the White House come next year - they'll finish their demolition job and then you can move on to rebuilding - hopefully without them.

I'm not sure what sane person would ever want to be president.

I kinda liked this Economist cartoon ...

The Tea Party has neither the time nor the inclination to explain itself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom it provides, then questions the manner in which it provides it! It'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way.

Yeah, we seem to go in  cycles like that. The Dems took heavy political losses last election for going too far perhaps, and next election it may be the Repubs taking the losses for the same thing. Seems to be the problem that when ever either party gains a decent amount of power, they use that as a mandate to ram through their agenda. While in reality, usually voters are just saying they're tired of one party going too far, so voted that one out, not intending it as a mandate.     :hmm:
