Who else has ever run into one of these 25% clowns that say Bush is a mistake
but things would be worse under democratic leadership and McCains tax plans are whats best for america because the poor don't pay taxes yet they get all the benefits, assholes? I'm so fed up with these continuing Reagan was god types. Even in the worst economic times they still think their taxes are down and any day now they will recieve their golden shower types.

Gee don't they ever look past their own bank accounts? BTW, are these assholes willing to sign a release stating if the rug is pulled out from under their dumb asses they won't beg for a habd out from the government? Of course Santa Jesus will never let that happen to the sinless now would he.

1. Hell, some of them won't admit Bush was a mistake
because it implicates them in the mistake. I have heard people say they were angry that Bush "turned out to be a liberal all along."

Seriously. Don't blame yourselves or your failed ideology, blame us for your own mistakes.

a couple of them. They are willing to admit that Bush has been a disaster but are very concerned about what Obama will do to the economy. Go figure.

4. all the time
Im an engineer and I sit within 10 feet of some of the most whining babies regarding taxes etc.

The worship of wallstreet and everything it represents is one of the worst things - the belief that the "free market" and globalization are part of some natural law.

It just blows my mind. These guys have seen the gutting of the mfg industry, and they see the approach of gutting what is left of the engineering in this country but they make absolutely no connection to why that is happening.

5. 40 years after Reagan's welfare queen, they still can't see thee Corporate Welfare--America's god.
Thee Corporate Welfare has been bailed out and bailed out times a 100 trillion. Look at the railroads of the 1800s. The government gave them land. The people who actually built it got low pay and injuries. The days of taking care of corporations must end.

6. welfare
Edited on Thu Oct-16-08 02:55 PM by Locrian
One guy I talked to yesterday said that we should deport people on welfare (no it wasnt Ted Nugent). When I mentioned, uh, that it's because there werent any jobs he said: "Sure there are, look at all the jobs the mexicans have. Americans think they are too good for those jobs"

This of course was a 6 figure salary single guy, with a "cush" job. And someone who thinks he got there **all by himself**. And he thinks he is carrying all those poor welfare guys on **his** taxes.

7. I know 3 (off the top of my head) ..Couples who are in BIG trouble...
..with their finances.

These Fuckers were Pro-Bush...Anti-poor-People...and generally, just pricks the whole time I've known them.
(They're Customers)

Oh...But NOW...they want the Government to bail their asses out and the Government to "Buy our Mortgage".

I have to bite my tongue or I'd say something like.."Looks like you'll be visiting all the poor "Scum" that you used to make fun of.."

Sons-A-Bitches...

8. Yep.
And, of course, the poor are that way because they're lazy and/or they don't pray enough, or it's just because their skin colour gives them bad Karma. There is no reasonable discourse with these people. It's not gonna happen. Period.

9. i have a couple of friends who are too far gone to recover...but they are fun to hang with...
and even more fun to talk politics, because i can nearly induce seizures in both of them...

anyway, we were sitting on the beach last saturday, drinking homemade sangria, etc. when i asked about 'their girl' and said that i was sure they thought she was an embarrassment basically to all things american and intelligent...

of course, they are BIG FANS of moosegirl...

whereby, the rest of the day, i referred to them as the "6-percenters"....

finally, the wife (who thinks rush is an intellectual and glen beck knows the truth) asked me what was up with the '6-percenter" stuff....

i told her (and the husband, who agrees with her but doesn't bother to think much at all) that:

"22% of Americans think Bush is doing a good job...

28% of Americans think Palin is qualified to be President...

You two are part of the 6% that actually think she is better than than your idiot king Bush!"



we started talking about music and getting drunk the rest of the day...
