quote: ORIGINAL: Lucylastic quote: ORIGINAL: LookieNoNookie because as of Nov 6th, they got tired of trying to help you resolve yours. Oh get over yourself...tired of trying????? LMAO really , thats what you are going for?? They LOST LARGE That they will do nothing to "try" anything but obstruction is more than obvious. Despite all the hope that they will work together with dems. I dont see it for a minute. I have zero faith in them. Christie..may, because well hes a smart dude. I see him getting further, or blown out by his own party. BTW I agree with Mark...you are dividing repubs and dems by the amount of success they achieve? how arrogant and ridiculous. Try feeling better about yourself, because it aint working on the rest of us. Im back to "work" now, bye Lucy, Tazzy... Either of you girls getting a PTSD vibe here in the forum? I am... I feel like calling the padded ambulance.

Yeah Im being sick bitch extraordinaire and enjoying every second This is better than McCain and Palin losing. and the last 4 years bitching put together. Listening to Limbaugh, Trump, Victoria, Palin Norquist especially, deny reality thats been around for the past 4 years, I havent had this much fun since granny caught her tits in a mangle. Schadenfreude is a sick sick little pleasure I have for some people more than others. It balances out my tender compassionate treehugging gooodies[;)]

I don't know CPR, so if the fuckers have heart attacks they're on their own.

quote: ORIGINAL: Politesub53 I think in many respects Obama has been given a mandate. Despite a poor economy, which I dont see as his making, he still got elected. The electorate turned their backs on the GOP policies in sufficient numbers to keep the President in office. I see it the same way. This wasn't necessarily the electorate saying, "We love you, Bronco Bama!" It was more like, "That Romney guy is some sort of space alien, we'd rather let you keep doing it your way." Not exactly a ringing endorsement of the President's policies or perfomance, but a decisive rejection of the alternative is a mandate nonetheless.

The electorate turned their backs on the GOP policies in sufficient numbers to keep the President in office. Romneys flip flopping on several issues didnt go down well enough to get him the votes he needed. It`s democracy at its finest. In the UK the Conservatives got the same response in 1997 as did New Labour in 2009. lesson being, dont take the electorate for fools. Of course he been handed a mandate. He is the only elected official in the country that got 52% of the popular vote and 330 electoral college votes nationally. Nobody else got that. I believe it meets and/or exceeds the necessary and sufficient conditions of the definition; mandate.

chuckles Its cute you think they gave him republicans to play with.... its pretty much how its going to be if they keep up their attitude of believing its all about them.

Stay out of the bathroom and get into the house then, and quit OCDing on your shit. Yeah, like he has any fucking reason to give a fuck about the house, and now that he is in his limit turn, they fuck around, and the house will look like the dog took them under the porch and played with them.

I mean SCOTUS handed the presidency to Georgie, and you called that a fucking mandate, we all said, ok and look at the bucket of shit we ended up in - the time to gripe is past, time to show you're the team player you pretend to be, and give it more than ten minutes before you call it a failure. 'Cause after Dubya, I think we all have a clearer conception of what "epic fail" actually means. Frankly the fact that he saved this whole turd you idiots handed us from taking that final spin down the fucking toilet is fucking near miraculous, now watch and learn.

Facts don't enter the arena when it comes to biology or cosmology. We can now add political science, statistics and maths to that list. There's a reason why Right Wingers oppose teaching American high school kids "Critical Thinking Skills".

You didn't just include that bolded above amoungst serious, non-theological-faith-based studies, did you? Please. That is the academic 'dirty bomb' to logical thinking, forget just plain sensible reasoning, and your trying to sneak that one in there is no different that Goldman Sachs sneaking in ninja loans into AAA-rated CDOs. It is the heighth of societal Orwellianism to even have such a thing at an institution otherwise charged with preparing people for their own part to play in furtherance of society. What a complete insult to the legitimate studies. Please.

While on the subject of abject academic dementia, whence the "critical' thinking" infestation? Would you consider that 'critical thinking' in any relevant sector of society has improved in that regard as result of this insidiously inane requirement, such as was completely lacking theretofore? Do you think that what society needs as for progression is a focus of young people at an ever earlier age to polish their ability to state opinions, in detriment to time spent on learning how to do useful and productive things? The "critical thinking" sham is actually just a side show in the (apparently quite successful) corporate influence into academia, which, not unlike sports, instills in the student a purpose of crusade, as long as 'critically' thought out. Even worse than sports, in my estimation. Nothing more than mind-numbing stultification of natural thought process, instead now requiring that such process be constrained to some predetermined track. If these people who purport to wish a good education for our society would apprise themselves of the advice of those who know what they're talking about have been advocating for decades, based on r/l experience rather than academic-conjecture-as-forced-march, they could start with getting a grasp on brain development, which learning to play a musical instrument AND (not 'or') learning a foreign language, at the earliest age, accomplishes. All the 'critical thinking' crap does is accommodate the prior corporate badgering of kids' minds subjected to thousands of hours of their mental, emotional, and psychological inculcation to that point. Don't ask them to 'critically think' it, please. Teach them how to reject it.

quote: ORIGINAL: LookieNoNookie quote: ORIGINAL: farglebargle The voters have spoken. Until the Republicans purge themselves of the nitwits who would limit a woman's freedom and liberty, they're never going to be taken seriously. Pandering to the religious extremists has destroyed the Republican party. I don't see any way to recover other than getting rid of the nuts. What's worse...for the Democrats....is, the Republicans get the fact that they have no choice but to focus on taking care of their own and they have only limited years within which to do so. The Democrats are simply going to wait for the govt. to solve their issues. Republicans know better, and are working to take care of THEIR issues, because as of Nov 6th, they got tired of trying to help you resolve yours. LOL god I love a sore loser
