OK, so proposed legislation means nothing? Because it might be a rope-a-dope or complicated chess?

[Logical]

I used to think politicians proposed stuff because they believed in it.

But now many DUers have explained to us, that it means nothing. That it might be some really complicated plan. A Rope-A-Dope boxing analogy or a 24 dimensional chess Star Trek analogy. Or you just propose it because you know it will never pass anyway but you do not really believe it. We basically are not smart enough to understand the logic.

This is a turn of events that I did not realize was happening.

If Obama continues to crack down on Medical marijuana, he really supports medical marijuana but wants the GOP to support medical marijuana? Wow, still confused.

So Obama really does not like the warrant-less wiretaps and drones strikes but proposes it because if he didn't the GOP would somehow propose them and make us look bad? Wow, complicated. But maybe I get it now.

If the GOP proposes banning abortion, then maybe they really do not want to ban abortions, but are trying to rope the democrats into supporting abortion to make us look bad? Maybe I understand now. Still not sure. But maybe I am being too hard on the idiotic stuff the GOP proposes. Maybe they do not really believe the stuff they propose. They just propose it because they know it will not pass anyway.

Wow, maybe we have been too hard on the GOP. They are just playing the same game we are. They propose stuff they really do not want passed.

I will admit, this new concept is hard for me to grasp. Please keep posting the strategy behind proposing something you really do not want. I need more help understanding this new political concept.

1. sounds good. I'm on board with my support. which means I'm not.

unless I am.

[Logical]

2. I agree with you. I think. n-t

[Katashi_itto]

4. I too am off-board with my on-board support.

[demwing]

35. but you *said* you were not

Therefore, you are.

Don't bother disagreeing...it's too confusing, and no one believes anything anymore, anyway.

Team Awesome can see through the smokescreen!

The best posts are meta posts, because we totally need ridicule to expose the lies!!!

Team Awesome: You know what to do: K & motherfucking R!!!!!

5. Kinda makes your head hurt, huh?

Us po' damn progressive dummies just don't the politeeeecal savvvvvy to understand how gubRmint wurks, let alone teh mag-niffie-scents of the 11th deeee-mention stratocaster of teh Rock Star.

Uh huh uh huh..

Damn now don't get it, thanks. Meanwhile ignore that guy behind the curtain of money over there.

9. Milestone! This is my 100th manually trashed thread on this subject.

This is particularly notable because I also have a filter that hides all threads with "social security" and "CPI" in the titles. God knows how many other threads on this subject were successfully hidden.

[99Forever]

10. Good for you.

Stick your fingers in your ears and scream 'La la la la la la la la la" while you are at it. Pretend it's okay to fuck over the most vulnerable in our Nation, that's a wonderfully compassionate view and a clear look into how Third Way Blue Dog "Demoncrats" think. Thanks.

[Buzz Clik]

17. More hysteria. And you missed the point. What a shock.

Nothing has been passed. No one is dying. Obama's proposal was flatly rejected.

Are you suggesting for even one second that even the 100 threads that escaped the filter are all contributing unique ideas? That I have not read your exact, hysterical, hyperbole-ridden crap 100 times? Well, I have, and your endless repetition of the same insanity does not make it true or less insane.

The problem is not being closed minded or "fucking over vulnerable people", it is the ridiculous obsessive behavior so typical of DUers. I don't need it.

Do carry on, and give my regrets to all the people who have died of cancer after being denied treatment under Obama's new program.

[99Forever]

21. I'm "suggesting" that you pretending..

... that anyone gives a flying fuck about how hard you try to run from reality, is as silly and ridiculous as it gets.

[xtraxritical]

23. BTW it was not the Presidents proposal, it was part of Boehners 98%.

[neverforget]

32. And Obama put it in the Budget!!!

A Republican idea for Social Security in the budget. Unfuckingbelievable!

I guess we should be thankful that raising the retirement age to 70 wasn't offered up because Boehner wanted that too.

[Logical]

11. Congrats. I have never trashed a thread. Open minded I guess. n-t

[Buzz Clik]

14. Open minded, for sure! Your OP supports that.

[Logical]

16. LOL, being open minded to idiotic theories is called being gullible. You are confused? n-t

[Buzz Clik]

18. Three insults in the title and no text?

Nicely played! You ran out of ideas and resorted to name calling.

[Logical]

19. Insults? How? Idiotic Theories should be believed? n-t <--means no text

[woo me with science]

12. We are like mere dogs trying to understand the internet.

The implementation of a corporate authoritarian state is clearly a necessary incremental step in the long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long. long, long journey toward a liberal, compassionate future.

They can't tell us people with limited smartness why, though. It's a secret.

[Logical]

13. OK, that picture helped. I see now that it is too complicated for me to understand!! great pic! n-t

[jsr]

15. It is really complicated

[Logical]

34. Good one! n-t

26. So this is what 12 dimensional chess looks like!

I have to say, I am impressed!

33. internets, woo, INTERNETS

SHEESH

20. Thank you.

I was told my thinking was "shallow" and "simplistic" for believing proposed legislation was something politicians were actually proposing.

[Logical]

22. Apparently you and I are not smart enough to understand current day politics! :-) n-t

[Chef Eric]

24. In the words of Obama's former Chief of Staff...

we liberals are not capable of understanding because we're "fucking retarded."

[Logical]

28. Wow, nice. n-t

[woo me with science]

30. +1 That pretty much laid out the attitude,

didn't it.

25. If you only believe hard enough.....

27. Yep. It's Pie In Your Face Showbiz. A clown show with few laughs.

And, it's time to close it down.

[forestpath]

29. k&r Great job of exposing the idiocy.

[Logical]

31. Many still do not get it. Amazing. n-t

[LWolf]

36. Not only does it mean "nothing,"

I've now learned that by offering Republicans what they want, it actually "destroys" it.

Who knew?

[MisterP]

37. no--it's a philosophical shift, a wholesale redefinition of human nature!
