I'm part of the Choir

[wyldwolf]

In the Soprano section with Rahm.

1. When they hear me sing they always kick me out, but just when I think I am out

[stray cat]

2. I can't sing but I'll sit with you in the choir

[panader0]

3. I'm a basso profundo

[DJ13]

4. Would DINO's be Falsetto?

[wyldwolf]

6. no, the Nader wing is history.

[depakid]

9. Some people never learn

and as often as not, they're the very same sorts of folks who tend to support Republican policies

[wyldwolf]

10. Naderites support Republican policies?

[depakid]

11. I think we're well aware of the folks who do

we see it in most every piece of legislation passed- or not passed- or watered down to the point of ineffectiveness.

[wyldwolf]

12. Like what?

I've never seen a definitive list of what is a Democratic or Republican policy - just progressive lists of what they don't like.

[depakid]

14. That's because, as shown in another thread, you're incapable or unwilling to look at concepts

as opposed to stringing disjointed facts together.

[wyldwolf]

16. I'll look at concepts, I just don't recognize your concepts as Gospel

Especially since they require enormous leaps of faith.

[depakid]

17. I've yet to see any evidence of that

:evilgrin:

[Dr Fate]

24. I thought he meant folks like Lieberman and the DEMS who identified with him.

Or maybe even some of the "Blue Dogs" who oppose Obama on domestic issues and continue to side with the far right.

Nader, for all of his flaws, never supported any GOP/Bush policies that I know of- but a lot of "centrist" DEMS certainly do/did.

Some "centrist" DEMS even supported Lieberman's pro-Bush, 3rd party run, in fact! 'Member that?

I don't know where Lieberman and his Conservative, 3rd party supporting ilk sit in this "choir", but hopefully it is very far away from me. I think his voice sounds like shit. I'd hate for people to think that stuff was coming from me...

In any event, anyone who claims that certain DEMS supported Bush is correct, unfortunately. Anyone who prefers to attack "Naderite" strawmen as opposed to acknowledging this fact is probably hiding the ball.

[Canuckistanian]

37. I once knew an opera singer with Falsettos

Or is that Falsetti?

[Cha]

5. Choir Schmoir..

Just because I support the President and reserve the right to write to him about whatever I disagree with doesn't make me a friggin member of "the choir".

That's a real flouncy way to state your disagreement on the military procedures.

[gkhouston]

13. maybe AGMA really stands for "American Guild of Melodramatic Asshattery"???

:shrug:

I don't get the all-or-nothing approach, either.

[Cha]

15. Oh, we got

Melodrama, all right!

[SIMPLYB1980]

7. Watch out Colbert will get jealous.

[Fire1]

8. Me too! Alto section.

Did ANYBODY hear this man DURING THE CAMPAIGN?????? Afghanistan IS NOT NEW! I repeat, NOT NEW!!! I think folks hear what they WANT to hear.

[JuniperLea]

18. Bing-diddly-ingo!

Short term memory loss... DU is on the weed.

[Luminous Animal]

30. Of course we heard him.

But what choice did have have. We only get two. Vote for Obama even though we wanted out of both Iraq and Afghanistan or vote for McCain.

I've been protesting against both wars since the start of each. Why would I stop now simply because there is a Democrat in office?

I can imagine the absolutely disgusting nasty things that anti-war folks would have been called if they had voted for a 3rd party anti-war candidate and tipped the election to McCain.

[Fire1]

33. Yes, there would have been a lynch mob for sure and I'd

be getting my passport and dual citizenship papers in order. Nevertheless, many of us didn't vote for Obama as the lesser of two evils. I'm not by any means a war monger but do agree that Afghanistan is where we should have been in the first place and if dickhead and is ilk weren't so corrupt, thousands of lives would have been spared and OBL would have been tried, sentenced and hung by now.

[ShortnFiery]

19. Of course you are wyldwolf. I wouldn't expect you to behave in any other manner.

:hug: ;)

[Moochy]

41. We are safe

All dissent was purged.

[AllentownJake]

20. I keep getting kicked out of practice

I'll be there for the performance in 2012.

[ChiciB1]

21. I Was A High Soprano In High School! They Called It Singing, But there

were times those notes actually hurt, and FWIW I'm not sure they sounded all the good! But that's what I was "told" to do!

I've grown up now, and I've decided to sing my own songs! I'm confused, disgusted, disappointed, angered and more stuff!! There are too many words, so I figured I'd keep it short!

French Open is interesting this year so far! Only ONE of the top men are still standing!!! I don't have a dog in THAT fight, so since I LOVE tennis I guess it's better entertainment!

Still I have this strange addiction to politics, but I'm trying so very hard to "kick" it!! It's so OUT OF WHACK and I don't know up from down anymore! Who's on what side or not! I do feel I'm getting the butt end of the JOKE though!

[Dr Fate]

22. For me, it depends on the song and which choir member wrote it.

If someone from the previous choir is involved, count me out.

If it involves choir leader who sang shitty Bush tunes and wants to keep on singing them, count me out of that nuumber as well.

But yeah, you can find me and my golden tonsels up on the choir stand on most days.

[Jennicut]

23. I can't sing at all, like fingers on a chalkboard. I break glass, not in a good way.

Sad admission but fact of life.
But if anyone needs me, I would pretend to sing, kay?

[Cha]

25. It's really encouraging in

that Not in the Choir anymore thread that they are so many people who aren't not going off all half cocked and are looking at the big picture. So it's good for something.

[Uzybone]

26. Singing from the book of hymns

Teenbeat Obama.

[Odin2005]

27. I'm in the Bass section with the president.

:)

My voice is quite low and really carries.

[JuniperLea]

32. Theatre and choir training...

They can hear me in the back row/pew for sure!

[JuniperLea]

28. Mezzo Soprano here...

I sing his praises when warranted, and the blues when he fucks up. The problem with DU is that too many are tone deaf... they hear singing, but they don't get the difference between opera and the blues.

Edited to say sometimes the blues get me so down I can sing a full on contralto! ugh.

[Odin2005]

29. LOL, great anology!

[Hepburn]

31. Female, but I usually sing with the tenors ~~ especially in the Messiah.

I have a big, strong voice and, boy, is it low. Reminds people of Bea Arthur.

[Moochy]

39. ALL WE LIKE SHEEP! (Handel's Messiah Lyric or commentary ?)

we do, we really do! :) I sang tenor, but I don't read sheet music, so I need to really believe in the lyrics before I sing it well.
