First there was the War on Terror, and now there's a War on
Unpatriotic Liberal Dissents. Go Carl Rove!!!
\_ You mean Not-unpatriotic-but-pre-9/11 And Profoundly Wrong Liberals
\_ "But it is also a cautionary tale of what happens to a dominant
party . in this case, the Democrat Party . when its thinking
becomes ossified; when its energy begins to drain; when an
entitlement mentality takes over; and when political power
becomes an end in itself rather than a mean to achieve the
common goal...."
It's a definite sign of insanity to not be able to see the irony in
what you're saying.
\_ Or even the circumstances in which you say something. When was
the last time the D Party was dominant? '93? Sounds like Rove
is living in the pre-pre-9/11 world.
\_ What's with the persistent mispronunciation of the "Democratic"
party as the "Democrat" party by Republicans in official and
press statements? I see this so much it can't be coincidence.
\_ No coincidence. The Rs excel at crafting the message, and
it doesn't serve their purposes to given the Democrats even
the appearance of the high ground.
\_ I was going to say it is all an evil republican conspiracy
to uhm some-er-other but I see the nut head brigade got
here first. Thanks for killing my joke.
\_ "I deeply resent the way this administration makes me
feel like a nutbar conspiracy theorist." Teresa

\_ Deep in the bowels of the Rovian Pit of Darkness,
"What new message shall we craft that will give us
the appearance of taking the high ground? Ah ha!
I know! We shall always refer the minority party
without their noble "ic" at the end of their name,
even in official literature! Yes! Muahahaha!"
Truly, this is one of the most dispicable yet
subtle attacks on our civil rights we have seen
up to now! What next? Will they sometimes use a
lower case "D" when next they write "democrat"?!
Egads! They're unstoppable! We're doooomed!
\_ LOL. No, not unstoppable or even clever. Just.
petty.
\_ You want the truth? You can't handle the
truth! Ok, the truth is no one noticed any
difference or cared. Dropping the "ic" does
not give or take away anything or give anyone
the appearance of high ground or any other
BS posted here on the topic. The whole
thing is just silly. To claim it is some
sort of conspiracy would be laughable if it
weren't so bizarre. Can anyone explain what
benefit the DemocratIC party gets from the IC
or they lose when the Republicans don't use
the IC? Is it like Samson's hair?
\_ I'm not saying it's a conspiracy. I'm
saying it's a conscious decision. And
while I agree with you that Joe Q Public
isn't even going to notice it, Rove and
party are still doing it. That's what makes
it so petty.
\_ What is this big "it" they are doing?
Dropping the "ic". Christ Oh Mighty!
Big Fucking Deal! Of all the things
going on in the world we've wasted
nearly 2 screens on "ic". Totally
fucking stupid. Get over it.
\_ I have. The pettiness of the GOP
no longer surprises or occupies my
thoughts any more than your posts.
\_ You are bizarre. You have yet to
explain how having or not having
"ic" helps or hurts anyone or is
petty or anything else. Freak.
\_ "We need to learn from our successes," he said, "and from the
failures of others." Good god. What arrogance. I actually agree
with many of the things he says about the democratic party.
They're being reflexively contrary and really do seem petty and
childish. On the other hand, I disagree with almost everything he
says about the republicans.
\_ If the D's could get the rules committee to let them hold
an actual hearing, if they could get any legislative items
on the agenda, if they were allowed in to the conference
committees, you might have a point about reflexive contrarians.
They are currently watching medicare be destroyed and a war slowly
being lost, and the only outlet they have is to say "look what
they're doing. get pissed about it. cuz we can't do shit unless
you vote more of our team in."
\_ Did you watch the Alito hearings? They seem to be a one-topic
party, and that topic is abortion.
\_ Abortion and his unitary executive theories. There are a
number of republican senators who have gone back on
promises to their constituents that they would not allow
a sc justice through without pledging to protect roe on
both roberts and alito. D's are actually concerned about
it, as are a large majority of the population. They're
not driving the discussion (another of their problems).
They're just trying to get a word in.
\_ It's the elephant in the room that the Rs don't want to
talk about.
\_ The murdered baby elephant!!!1!!11!
