Err... Maybe you already are. Sorry.” 7:56:24 PM 11/10/08 “Ahhh, Stovie's unfortunate return from locking himself in a room and beating his head against a wall for the past week. But I guess we can look forward to this en mass. Carry on.” 8:03:09 PM 11/10/08 “duh! government, please tax me harder up the” 8:08:59 PM 11/10/08 ““�oh, and for the record i voted for barr (LMAO)� Yogisan 6:26:51 AM 11/10/08 Ah, well it's tricky having a conversation with you then - as you're obviously not living in the real world. ;op” Y2 10:31:58 AM 11/10/08 This from the guy who would vote with the heard if he could even vote. Yet he ridicules an actual American who did vote. Nice! Y2 FTW!” 4:57:32 AM 11/11/08 “So, Nigal... It seems that if We The People voted the way you wanted us to, then we'd all be brilliant! ...but if we vote contrary to you, we are somehow members of a Herd... or "HEARD" as you say... ”6:55:55 AM 11/11/08 “No, I never questioned anyone's intelligence but what I have questioned is the amount of times I have been accused of "throwing away my vote" because I refuse to vote with the consensus. And the vast majority of those who said this to me could barely even summarize Obama's platform for me so I could only guess they were voting based on popularity rather than substance. But these are my own personal experiences.” 7:01:29 AM 11/11/08 “Ah, we're ignoring the political as well as the economic realities now.” 7:16:42 AM 11/11/08 “Its going to be fun mining the old threads for phrases to use for the next few years. It will be even funnier to watch the people who made them snort in derision at them .” 7:33:44 AM 11/11/08 D'ohhh! “Be careful what you wish for. I am not worried about Obama or Hillary. Neither of them will beat McCain once the real politicking starts. hyway 12:01:13 PM 2/20/08” 11:17:31 AM 11/11/08 “I was wrong. That's why we have elections. I wasn't talking about those kind of phrases. I was talking about the "He's not my president, he's yours" and the other divisive comments made by the left the last 8 years.” 12:12:15 PM 11/11/08 “Not sure which forum to paste this... and Gawd knows I don't wanna start a New Thread for a new topic... so... _______________________________________________ Obama Team Bans Lobbyists From Transition; Mulling Reversals Of Bush Exec Orders By Eric Kleefeld - November 11, 2008, 3:41PM In another sign that Barack Obama is moving quickly to put his own stamp on the transition process, transition chair John Podesta just rolled out a series of new and reformist transition initiatives on a conference call with reporters. Some highlights: • There will be strong restrictions against lobbyist involvement in the transition: Lobbyists can't contribute or raise money to fund the transition; anybody who has worked as a lobbyist over the last 12 months can't shape policy and will have to cease all lobbying during the transition; and any transition staffers who become lobbyists afterwards won't be able to lobby the White House for 12 months. • The Obama transition team is also launching a broad review of federal agencies -- over 100 of them -- so that the president and cabinet officers will have all the information they need to make decisions about those offices next year. • The cabinet will have not just Democrats, but also Republicans and independents, "not just at a token level." • Cabinet appointments will be put through faster than the usual process of only two dozen or so secretaries or sub-cabinet appointees being confirmed by March. "We expect that we can accelerate the process of confirmation in the Senate," Podesta said. • Podesta confirmed that Obama is actively reviewing President Bush's executive orders, to see which ones he will reverse upon taking office: "We'll review all the executive orders that the president [Bush] has issued, and that process is going on." The key here is that Obama is under extraordinary pressure amid the financial crisis to signal action even before he takes power, and here he's doing that.” 1:07:37 PM 11/11/08 “Looks like a decent start for him.” 3:21:34 PM 11/11/08 “and the other divisive comments made by the left the last 8 years and the divisive comments made by the right when carter and clinton were in office, and the divisive comments they will make when obama is in office” 3:38:13 PM 11/11/08 “Yes, we objected when a raft of imbeciles started a baseless war in our names. Cheney-Bush and their neocon choir disregarded the advice of previous Republican administrations and over a million people were blown to bits in the resulting low-intensity civil war. How divisive of us to disagree with that course of action.” 4:04:25 PM 11/11/08 “CB, I never said it started the past 8 years. I never claimed that it should stop. I just said it will be fun to watch everyone change into each others shoes. So, tilt, then you grant us the same right to disagree in a divisive manner when we disagree with what obama does. Thats big of you.” 6:04:42 PM 11/11/08 “has anyone read the book "the argument culture"” 6:14:25 PM 11/11/08 “I never said it started the past 8 years no, but you conveniently omitted it” 7:02:53 PM 11/11/08 “crash, thanks for fixing the internet again.” 7:23:24 PM 11/11/08 “I also omitted the entire tax code, the complete works of William Shakespeare, the history of weapons from flat rocks to the nuclear bomb, how many angels can fit on the edge of a pin, and the answer to the meaning of life from my post. How any of that or what happened more than 8 years ago has anything to do with how fun it will be to watch everyone take reverse positions on what it means to support a president is a mystery to me.” 7:36:00 PM 11/11/08 “We know who defended what policies and the mass mayhem that resulted. Your party has just begun to pay the piper.” 8:39:13 PM 11/11/08 “See, politics is the new religion.” 4:36:59 AM 11/12/08 “They are so cute sitting up on their high horse. I notice Obama isn't going to close Guantanamo, but it sure is nice to see the in depth coverage on why he can't simply just try them in the US courts.” 4:56:00 AM 11/12/08 “Who in Gitmo has done anything near the damage the american neocons have done to this country?” 5:57:21 AM 11/12/08 “ ”8:24:40 AM 11/12/08 “Thanks kleetn, I don't like cats.” 8:53:51 AM 11/12/08 “ROF Kleent” 9:14:27 AM 11/12/08 “ ”9:50:58 AM 11/12/08 “ ”10:27:30 AM 11/12/08 “The rabid Scottie is a nice touch ----” 10:34:26 AM 11/12/08 “The Lil' Georgie is nice, too.” 11:55:23 AM 11/12/08 “ ”12:01:42 PM 11/12/08 “The Obamacons in the media are having a droolfest....I'll be in the woods, clinging to my guns and religion.....” 2:15:06 PM 11/12/08 “Is that bowing to the god of cut n paste?” 2:36:12 PM 11/12/08 “I like paste. Ate plenty of it in grade school.” 2:24:30 PM 11/13/08 “Sorry about your Reich and all.” 5:16:32 PM 11/13/08 “If you would like to work for the Obama administration, you need to fill out this form. I wonder if Obama would be accepted if he truthfully answered all the questions. http://graphics8.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/national/13apply_questionnaire.pdf” 5:37:26 PM 11/13/08 “On November 4th, 2008 millions of Americans were shocked that a man of Barack Obama's limited experience, extreme liberal positions and radical political alliances could be elected President of the United States. For many of these Americans, the explanation was rather simple... the news media, completely enamored with Obama, simply refused to do their job. On Election day twelve Obama voters were interviewed extensively right after they voted to learn how the news media impacted their knowledge of what occurred during the campaign. These voters were chosen for their apparent intelligence/verbal abilities and willingness to express their opinions to a large audience. The rather shocking video below seeks to provide some insight into which information broke through the news media clutter and which did not. http://www.howobamagotelected.com/” 5:41:38 AM 11/18/08 “Crybaby.” 7:34:14 AM 11/18/08 “The example of Rhodesia, or South Africa are lost on our children. How long can Atlas hold? ”7:55:24 AM 11/18/08 “Elaborate...............please.” 8:40:24 AM 11/18/08 “Boo!” 9:44:24 AM 11/18/08 Change????? LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!! “A cabinet full of Clinton has beens and Hillary! as Secretary of State. BAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!” 12:19:25 PM 11/21/08 ““Change”. Oy Vey!” 12:26:24 PM 11/21/08 “Obama is being criticized because his inaugural celebrations are projected to cost the taxpayers over $400 million. When asked about it, Obama explained that Ted Kennedy planned to attend and there was going to be an open bar.” 1:00:38 PM 11/21/08 “(rimshot)” 1:08:46 PM 11/21/08 “Obama plans to ride in the inaugural parade without the traditional limousine. He'll be in a sleigh pulled by reindeer.” 1:17:32 PM 11/21/08 “As a precaution for the Obama presidency, the White House copy of the Constitution is being removed. It's made from hemp.” 1:54:56 PM 11/21/08 The Obama recession continues “The stock market was down another 400 points or so yesterday. People are wondering where in the world this will end. Retirement funds are being devastated. People are losing jobs. The picture certainly isn't rosy right now, and nobody can really explain why. The media, on the other hand, is certain that there is one recent event that is having no effect whatsoever on this economic slide; and that would be the election of Barack Obama. OK ... why don't you try to put on an investor hat for a moment here. Let's say you're considering getting back in the stock market. You know that some stocks out there are at historic lows, and they're bound to bounce back ... right? So why don't you just take some money out of your savings or out from under your mattress and plow it back into the market? Let's see if we can find any reasons why you might hesitate. We have a president-elect who ... ... has promised to raise capital gains taxes, perhaps even double them. So this guy is just waiting for you to jump into the stock market and make some money so he can seize a huge portion of it. Why jump now? Obama has been asked if he plans to go forward with his capital gains tax increase, but he's not saying. Just hold off on your investments for a while until he tips his hand. If he goes the tax increase route you might want to consider trying to move your money offshore to grow until he's out of the picture. ... has promised to sign the so-called "Card Check" bill. Now again, you're smarter than the average voter, and you realize that this unionization-through-intimidation idea is going to have an adverse affect on American business. As soon as the bill is signed union thugs (organizers) will start their petition drives at thousands of businesses across the nation. Large businesses and small businesses. America's largest employer, Wal-Mart, will be one of the first targets. You don't know how far this will spread, but you do know that every business that is unionized will be a poor investment for you. So you wait .. you wait to see what is going to happen with card check. ... has promised to raise income taxes on the largest jobs producing segment of our economy, small businesses. During the campaign you heard him say that he would not raise taxes on 95% of small businesses, but you know that most of the jobs rest with the remaining 5%, and that's where most of the new jobs would be created. The ignorant voters bought his 95% line, but you're not that stupid. You saw through his rhetoric. So, again, why jump into the market now? Wait until we see what Obama is going to do with these tax increases on America's jobs-producing machine. ... has promised more business regulation. Obama is no fan of free enterprise. He loves government. Obama believes America is great because of government. You really think you need to wait before you make your investment moves until you see just what regulatory punishment Obama has in mind for the free market. So .. think about it. We've only scratched the surface here. We could also talk about expanding the family leave act and many other little federal anti-business goodies. Invest now? Why? Doesn't it make more sense to wait until you get a true measure of our new anti-capitalist president?” 1:55:12 PM 11/21/08 Jump to Page << prev
