I think we are and we should continue adding water.

3. I think it's more of a suicide.

But add a little more water anyway.

11. Indeed, we can't really take the credit for their incompetence.
But if things start turning around, for the better, I don't see how the pukes recover any time soon.

4. i think it would be ironic, as waterboarding is simulated drowning.
but i don't think we really need do anything... they are doing a bang up job of it themselves.

5. It's official...
...we can now refer to Grover Nordquist as "Mr. Bubble".

7. Wouldn't you be hung for torture?
Oh, no. That's right. Bush/Cheney did it, but it was OK.

Carry on!

13. It would be better to use acid (ala the Cleaner) because those fuckers can hold their
breath for a long time.

I also think there will always be that segment of the population who are just plain bad. And there really is not much we can do to totally eliminate them - they reproduce like viruses.

As for making their political structure irrelevant and powerless - that is just a dream some of us had. We will never completely rid ourselves and our society of their influence, but it is a goal worth striving for.

15. One-third of the country thought Bush did a good job
That's not an insubstantial number. Those ranks swell when times are tough. President Obama didn't win in a walk over - a lot of people are still very uncomfortable Accomplishing his goals will require a lot of hard work, not just hoping he GOP keeps doing it to itself.

20. Well--- who is their leader? They have none...
They're white--- and that's it--- they're simply outnumbered.

21. No, they tripped and knocked themselves unconscious and fell in.
It remains to be seen if they wake up in time.
