quote: ORIGINAL: willbeurdaddy quote: ORIGINAL: brainiacsub . These things are important. It's just unfortunate that too many conservatives are incapable of engaging in this dialogue in any meaningful way. LMAO. Shades of Tazzy. You come on like you're capable of thoughtfulness and independent thought, albeit it with a slightly left of center leaning, and then you show your true colors with asinine statements like that. awww shucks, willbe. i didnt realize i was in your thoughts that much. but, please remember i have a man in my life. it would never work out.

quote: ORIGINAL: Aylee quote: ORIGINAL: Moonhead It's an English reference: Sooty was a glove puppet who appeared on a children's television show for years over here. Matthew Corbett was the chap with his hand up the puppet's arse. I should have said Howdy Doody or something instead, shouldn't I? Ahhhh. Thanks. If you would have used Jim Henson and Kermit I would have understood. I cannot judge whether the comparison is correct or not as I have never watched Glen Beck. That would have been a better reference for Americans. There were quite a few glove puppet muppets, particularly on Sesame Street, so I'll have to remember that one in future.

Given a lot of what Wilbur posts, his inner goldfish is probably smarter than his human side, or at least less reactionary.

quote: ORIGINAL: popeye1250 Funny thing about "flip-flopping", if a person in public office listens to their constituants and votes the way "The People" want them to vote they'll never have to worry about "flip-flopping!" Yes they will. Bills are loaded with points, and if you vote on them, you'll be in conflicting positions. Governing is making choices, and governing in a representational democracy means making compromises. If not, nothing happens but decay. quote: It's when they get to the point that "they" think that they know better than The People is when the trouble starts. You could just as fairly say the people think they know best about the entire country from their armchairs, without the information available to government. When it's a few people sharing a house, they can see why when decisions go against their inclinations. It's simply harder to see in the context of a 300 million person coast to coast nation with global interests.
