Bush II had a surplus when entered office. Squandered as fast as he could snort his next line of coke. There, the bomb found its igniter. So you are claiming that Bush used cocaine while President? Is this simply hyperbole, or are you making the actual claim? Firm

Metaphore for his ability to go through the white stuff when he was just a 30 year old youngster finding his way in life. LOL

If the Teaparty were black, wouldn't they be the Earl Grey party?

quote: ORIGINAL: Elisabella quote: ORIGINAL: FirmhandKY FR: hmmmm .... If you believe that government should have more power over society, and your favorite party isn't in power, it's "dissent is the highest form of patriotism " Once your party is in power, however, it becomes "dissent is sedition and treason" and simply bigotry to oppose it. Got it. Firm I disagree - as annoying as I found the anti-war protesters during the Bush era, I respect the fact that they gathered and protested peacefully without any intimations of violence or revolution. You are joking, aren't you? [8D] quote: ORIGINAL: Elisabella The only issue I have with the Tea Party movement is the fact that they think the solution lies in the Second Amendment rather than the First. hmm, painting with a pretty board brush today, aren't we?

NO !! This is what Dr. Phil does. "Well, what if...?" Well, what IF I won the fucking lottery...or what if you get fired tomm. ? 'What if's' demonstrate a lack of understanding in issues resulting in conjuring up wild speculation. Besides...black folks don't watch Fox News.

Plurality isn't represented in the Tea Party, the most "exlusive", monocultural fucking movement in decades. Let's get real, shall we? quote: ORIGINAL: MrRodgers NO !! This is what Dr. Phil does.

Besides...black folks don't watch Fox News. Do you really need this explained to you? The entire point of the article is that at least part of the political division has roots in race. That if the same methods where used by people of a different ethnicity, then they would probably be perceived differently. By changing the details of the scenario, the article attempts to point out how race plays a factor in this political dialogue, and hopefully to get us to re-examine our own ideas and feelings, and perhaps get a greater understanding of today's political climate. Sometimes I think people just don't want to understand certain things.
