Yup, Bush is. Every single one of those words describes him.

Philosophy can be a bit of a hit or miss field, but I'd say your Dad was right on the mark with that one! It's like some of these people get off on the idea of having the tube inserted into their brains and having all the dumb stuff in the world pumped in there. I don't think our new national health care plan should cover that particular procedure...

Yes, but the task is made much more difficult when Republicans (if they can be deemed worthy of that once honorable enough term) incessantly post things that are in fact stupid and devoid of all reason.

What in your view is the appropriate form of criticism of things that are in fact stupid and devoid of all reason? Do we shy away from calling them what they in fact are? We have here people who believe that if you elect to trade in your old car as part of the deal in acquiring a new one, it means that the dealer has "confiscated" your old car. What are we to do with these people?

I feel pretty sure that the recently set all-time egg-on-your-face record is perfectly safe.

It's one thing to disagree, but the hate in some of these comments above is palpable and without merit.

Do you know how to disagree without calling Republicans stupid and devoid of all reason? It doesn't speak very well for you and shows an utter lack of sportsmanship.

But I'm not surprised. You're true to form and totally predictable. While I sure hope Obama succeeds and fulfills his promise of a better country to our nation, if he doesn't a lot of you will have an awful lot of egg on your faces.
SPORTSMANSHIP???? That is an attempt at a 180 spin right from the Hannity playbook....Were you one of those repub aholes that questioned my patriotism post after post in every forum I belonged to for being against the Iraq war? Were you one of those repub aholes that said "if'n you don't support Bush,you is a commie "terrist" lover"? Get a clue and lose the victim mentality as it makes you look like a chickenhawk crybaby.Sportsmanship indeed,what a laugh.Absolutely idiotic.

Really! Honor is not one of the things that neocons can now hide behind. They have displayed none of it. That's N-O-N-E...

Because they've been impotent in opposing Bush policies.

Sportsmanship is not what people like Sag are interested in. I am a hater such as he, but completely opposed to everything that he spews. While I come here to rant and agitate the likes of him and his socialist ilk for my enjoyment, he comes here thinking that his "educated" opinion will convert sane people into supporting the failed Marxist schemes of the past.

Do not forget what his people truly represent for your own sanity. They represent a group of elitists who intend to impose their will on those they deem "stupid", which is anyone who is not a socialist, with government force. They have absolutely no concern with how their socialist utopia comes to pass, it is their arrogance and self-righteousness which allows them to believe in what they do.

No different than any tyranny, Sag and his people, will do anything to get what they want, because "they know what is best" for everyone else. The "Omniscient Ones" will never allow people's desire for freedom to interfere with their "Idealistic Imbecility". They see the world as filled with worker bees carrying out the orders of their queen. They will never understand philosophical differences to their "all-knowing" opinions.

It's genetic or maybe just bad toilet training. They're paranoid & fearful. Their social skills are very limited. All they understand is belligerence, hatred, anger, violence. They just don't know how to get along with others.

It shows the depth of your Fux News brainwashing that you actually believe that Republicans are the party of the common people. Anyone with an ounce of reason sees they are the party of the rich, privileged & powerful.

The rich elites raided the national treasury to the tune of trillion$$$ and funneled it into the pockets of their well connected military cronies.

You right wing kooks are such hypocrites. You think the gov't can't do anything right except wage war. Then you start bleating, "support the troops, support the troops" no matter how misguided and unjustified a war is or that it bankrupts our nation. But when it comes to health insurance it's, SOCIALISM, MARXISM, COMMUNISM, WE CAN'T AFFORD IT! You believe in small govt except when it comes to your pet bigotry like gay marriage then you start marching with your pitchforks & torches wanting to burn people at the stake and legislate your "morality".

What a pack of sanctimonious hypocrites.

Actually, the past two years, Congress has been very effective in keeping Bush penned up in his little cage. A lame-duck with no power beyond his little veto pen and his filibustering friends in Congress. What a pitiful pretense of a President he has been...
