[POed_Ex_Repub]

2. I remember a time not so long ago.. when I was turning down jobs

::sigh::

[hedgetrimmer]

3. um... a... you'd think that was a no brainer

4. what's that joke again ?

something about al qaeda and other terrorists not having to do anything because bush is destroying america all on his own. it's a joke but there is a lot of truth to the part about bush destroying america.

6. I hadn't heard that one - funny but frighteningly true.

[Catholic Sensation]

18. Jay Leno had a joke like that

He said that the National Security Agency had a press release that stated Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden are thinking about ways to destroy the American economy. Bush later said "HA, BEAT YA TO IT!"

5. this is as scary as 20 years ago

at the time I had found a job after about 17 months after being laid off. I could never ever shake off the anxiety and angst from the unemployment experience. 20 yrs later, I still don't feel comfortable about the experience...

What bugged me then bugs me now. After all the cr@p I went through before the 84 election, and I know there were a cr@pload of people who lost jobs (some for good), they still voted Ronnie for another four years. I am afraid we might end up with Dubya again.

7. I'm afraid a terrorist will take my job.

8. False choice

The image of America as Clownshoes, International scares me more than material loss or terrorism.

[AP]

9. You care more about an "image" than you care about material reality

AND personal safety?

[RafterMan]

10. Absolutely

First, because I believe degradation in image will lead to degradation on the two other points and second, when in my personal life it came time to choose between personal security, material security and dignity, I chose dignity.

[AP]

11. For most, material well-being is the precursor for dignity. And, at the

very least, you have to ask yourself whom you're benefitting when you chose to accept less materially in exchance for ANYTHING else. Usually it's someone way wealthier than you are, who didn't have to work very hard to take from you what you're giving up.

There's no dignity in living to make someone else very rich and to have to make sacrifices that the super wealthy never have to make.

12. Spoken like an Edwards supporter

Needless to say, I disagree.

[AP]

13. Care to share the details of you accepting less in exchange for "image"?

I would bet anything it's a story which wouldn't work for the poor, for people who work for a living, or for anyone who deserves to retain a fair percentage of the wealth they create for society.

[RafterMan]

14. Probably not

I was homeless, and slept in a park. One morning I awoke at sunrise (of course) and watched a yuppie jogger feed half a pound of rare roast beef to his dog. I had been living on a 50-cent bag of cookies for the past two days.

I wanted to be angry at the man or his dog, because of the absurdity of the situation, but only for a minute. I knew what I was, and what the yuppie or the dog had to eat that I did not just didn't affect me.

I am proud to be an American. So when the Edwards/Bush position on the war is used to mock America, it galls me. It adds humiliation to deprivation. If I can still have dignity, I know no amount of deprivation can hurt me. But if you take away my pride, no amount of material gain can make up for it.

[AP]

15. Bush's position on the war isn't intended to mock you. It's intended to

get people to vote Republican so that they can carry out the wealth transfer to the wealthy that is going to put more people on park benches, and turn those who aren't into wage slaves.

Edward's position isn't intended to mock you. It's intended to convince Americans that he's not going to compromise safety just because he's a Democrat. This is so he can remain a viable candidate so that he can get elected and reverse the flow of wealth in this country.

[RafterMan]

16. Sorry

Edwards position *does* compromise safety, because it plays into the hands of Great Satanist propaganda. If America cannot face facts and repudiate the war, the mockery is on us.

Saddam Hussein was a joke. If Edwards is willing to throw away the idea of a just and good society to purge us of a comedy act, or to pander to Bush's fearmongering for a few more trinkets and baubles, I say it's a sorry trade.
