Subject: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Wesley S Date: 17 Sep 10 - 09:41 AM Jon Stewart plans to take on the extremists of America with his own rally in Washington. Stewart's answer: "The Rally to Restore Sanity," a "million moderate march" that will take place in Washington on Oct. 30. Story with video |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: John on the Sunset Coast Date: 17 Sep 10 - 10:18 AM Right on! And let's start by booting out Reid and Pelosi in November! |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Wesley S Date: 17 Sep 10 - 11:02 AM John - I don't know if you had a chance to watch the video or not. If you did - my two favorite signs that Jon Stewart held up were - "Bring it down a notch for America" and "I disagree with you but I'm pretty sure you're not Hitler". |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Bobert Date: 17 Sep 10 - 11:28 AM Oct. 30th??? Hmmmmm??? Nuthin' else on the calendar... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Jeri Date: 17 Sep 10 - 11:39 AM Dueling rallies: Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. John on the SC, there's something for everyone. People can go to Jon Stewarts "Rally to Restore Sanity" or Stephen Colbert's "Keep Fear Alive" rally. Maybe there will be a barbecue culminating in a huge food fight. The Daily Show's" Jon Stewart announced on his show Thursday his Rally to Restore Sanity -- "a rally for the people who've been too busy to go to rallies, who actually have lives and families and jobs (or are looking for jobs) -- not so much the Silent Majority as the Busy Majority." The rally will be held "to beg America to stop shouting, throwing and drawing Hitler mustaches on people other than Hitler (or Charlie Chaplin)." |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Bill D Date: 17 Sep 10 - 12:33 PM "...start by booting out Reid and Pelosi in November!" *sigh*.... that's a current Conservative slogan, not a reasoned plan. Any idea that even contemlates putting Sharron Angle in the US Senate is flawed from the start. If you wish to replace Harry Reid, find someone who 'thinks', not a fruitcake who refuses to even talk to the mainstream media because she can't cope with questions about her idiotic remarks! |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Jeri Date: 17 Sep 10 - 12:44 PM So, then, you'll BOTH be going to the Colbert rally? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Ebbie Date: 17 Sep 10 - 12:57 PM Good for them. I hope tons of people attend and that the tone is reasonable, even light-hearted, in strong contrast to the yelpers. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Jim Dixon Date: 17 Sep 10 - 01:54 PM Sounds great, but I find it hard to believe a large number of people will travel across the country just to laugh at themselves and others. If it's televised, I'll watch it though. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Jeri Date: 17 Sep 10 - 03:15 PM If there were a bus going there from here, I'd be sorely tempted. I'd like to have a rally against doing the same shit over and over, whether it's a Mudcat argument or troll-feeding, political whinging, mudslinging and baiting, OR people complaining about other people who do the above stuff. I've had it up to here, no, to HERE, with people helplessly playing the same roles and regurgitating the same lines ("I did not ask for the anal probe...") in slightly varying ways. For Pete's sake, TRY SOMETHING NEW! Just for laughs, the next time you want to reply to somebody else's "same shit, different day", ask somebody else usually involved in that stuff to just reply FOR you. Maybe we should do a separate thread and pick our proxies, although I'm sure there will be volunteers. Does this sound interesting to anyone? |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: gnu Date: 17 Sep 10 - 03:42 PM I am undecided. Take that one for me Jeri. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Little Hawk Date: 17 Sep 10 - 03:48 PM YES!!! I think you are on exactly the right track, Jeri. ;-) Well said. There IS a real 3-D life out there for compulsive internet addicts, just waiting to be discovered, and, yes, personal change IS still possible. Think of the time and energy many of us could save if we just appointed the two most opinionated, hostile, combative people on this entire forum to do all our arguing here for us...and we did something more useful and enjoyable instead. I like it. Great idea. |

Tsk, tsk, you've got it all wrong....jeez, ya' probably weren't too good in Geography!....'Sanity-Land' is located in the regions of 'Galactic Central'..where LIFE comes from!! Just got off the 'Inter-Galactic Space Telephone'...They told me NOT to reveal where that was, that they don't want you to call them...they'll call you!! Waving, Guest from Sanity |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: GUEST,Wesley S Date: 18 Sep 10 - 08:30 AM Well - tell them to call me on my cell phone. I'll be at my sons baseball game this morning. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Bobert Date: 18 Sep 10 - 08:58 AM Well, I'll take a wait 'n see attitude toward goin'... Gotta remember that the Tea Party is very well funded with lobbiest money for buses, expenses, "community organizers" (no, Obama didn't apply), the FOX propaganda mill, etc. and that's how you get a decent crowd... If it looks as if the event is going to draw a decent crowd then I'll prolly go... Maybe hook up with some of my ol' homies afterwards fir a little jammin'... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: GUEST Date: 18 Sep 10 - 10:02 AM Wesley S: "Well - tell them to call me on my cell phone......" I'm not sure that cell phones is their only method of 'calling' you...just listen, though...it may happen! GfS |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Little Hawk Date: 18 Sep 10 - 01:30 PM It's time wankers and tossers everywhere got the respect they deserve, so I hope that huge demonstration has a lasting effect on raising the social consciousness, not to mention legitimizing ambidextrousness. Oh, and I hereby appoint Amos to do all my arguing for me...not because he is unreasonable or anything negative like that, but because he is highly intelligent, has the gift of the gab, and I think he'd do a great job at it. So....anyone here got a beef with me? You want a piece of ME??? Take it up with Amos. ;-D |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: gnu Date: 18 Sep 10 - 02:08 PM Yer sayin Amos can gobsmack em? |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Bobert Date: 18 Sep 10 - 06:59 PM Amos will do very well at the Jon Stewart rally and, wtheck, he might even get in a little overtime over at the Colbert rally to help with his expenses... I was talkin' with Jon about Amos parachutin' in an' the folks are workin' to see if they can get a permit to fly him into the no-fly zone over DC in a News7 helecopter... I think that wold be really cool... Maybe he could jump out with his geetar and play "Honey" on the way down??? B;~) |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Little Hawk Date: 18 Sep 10 - 08:50 PM Just savin' myself a whole bunch of unnecessary and totally nonbeneficial stress, GfS, by avoiding useless, endless internet wrangles with various people who are addicted to fighting over stuff... Actually, it depends on the subject at hand. I'd also be happy to appoint you to argue for me when it comes to some of the more contentious subjects where Amos is a bit, well, too much in the grip of partisan zeal to be entirely objective... So....anyone here got a beef with me? You want a piece of ME??? Take it up with Amos. Or GfS. Or Bobert. Or Slag. Or whoever fits the bill best. ;-D I know someone will surely step up to bat. I'll probably be playing guitar instead. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Amos Date: 19 Sep 10 - 12:04 AM Tell you what; I am going to extend this proxy chain into a self-reflective screen, so you can take your beef up with your own self until you have worked out a satisfactory resolution. This will save all of us a lot of trouble. A |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: akenaton Date: 19 Sep 10 - 03:03 AM Little Hawk's not going to engage in discussion??? I thought God wasn't allowed to take a vacation! :0) |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Little Hawk Date: 19 Sep 10 - 12:50 PM Good question. Maybe She just shuts everything down for a bit, and we don't realize it, because we're shut down then too... ;-) |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Wesley S Date: 19 Sep 10 - 01:01 PM Naw - I'll bet she goes to Key West. That's where I'd go. |

I know!..I think Bobert has taken on the mantel of 'Prince Valiant' for Ebbie. It used to be every time I posted ANYTHING Ebbie was there, right after, with some off the wall, ridiculous, senseless contradiction. She has 'Ebbed' and now Bobert's hillbilly logic is championing the cause..probably to impress her...(after all, she isn't bugging him about mowing the lawn). Oh well, Happy Valentine's Day! GfS |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Ebbie Date: 19 Sep 10 - 01:30 PM Ha. I stopped because I realized that you will never change your persona. I still don't quite believe that you are as you portray. Nobody would purposely be that dumb. But I would like some examples of this statement: "it used to be every time I posted ANYTHING Ebbie was there, right after, with some off the wall, ridiculous, senseless contradiction." |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Little Hawk Date: 19 Sep 10 - 02:30 PM I'm working to change my persona much of the time. These days, for example, I'm working hard to become more forgiving (of both self and others). |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Wesley S Date: 19 Sep 10 - 04:18 PM I think these are examples of what the rally is all about.... |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Little Hawk Date: 19 Sep 10 - 05:36 PM Yeah, well, just wait till you see the upcoming giant rally for Primate Equal Rights and Freedoms (PERF)...13.9 million marching apes and monkeys are going to make sure Washington listens up GOOD this time! |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Mrrzy Date: 19 Sep 10 - 05:57 PM I'm all for both of these! So far, myself and my kids and one of my sisters (2/3 now live & work in the DC area) - am hoping for both of my DC-area niblings will want to come too. If enough of us go, we should meet somewhere. I may be offer a place to stay to some... |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Stringsinger Date: 19 Sep 10 - 08:06 PM Jon Stewart has always been in favor of constructive dialogue. This is what a lot of his humor is about. He often has guests on his show with whom he disagrees but is always respectful because that's what you do in a decent conversation. You avoid name-calling and shouting. I think his march is a good model for what America needs to be. He may hold positions with which I would not always agree but he is a great humorist and lightens up the tension between ideological clashes this way. Colbert essentially does the same thing in a "devil's advocate" role. Their feud is great fun and you can tell that they really are pretty much on the same page politically. Their point is well-taken. People have forgotten how to converse with one another. They trumpet their points-of-view as they would brandish a weapon. There are many Americans who have not made up their minds ideologically and they need to be regarded and respected. This is where Stewart and Colbert are doing a great service to our country. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Little Hawk Date: 19 Sep 10 - 08:12 PM "People have forgotten how to converse with one another." Yes, that is exactly the problem. Humor is the best way to moderate and defuse these bitter opposites who are so disinclined to listen to what the other is saying, let alone understand it. That's why I often inject humor into the debate threads here...I'd like people to calm down a bit, have a gentle laugh at themselves and the general situation, which is usually pretty bizarre...and then maybe have some kind of useful discussion with each other instead of just judging and condemning whoever is on the other side. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Bobert Date: 19 Sep 10 - 08:39 PM As fir the Eb v. GfinS thing??? There is a reason that this ol' hillbilly had to but the "in" in the middle of the GfS... I mean, she's a friggin' loonie tune... Not that I don't like her but she is so full of shit that I'd bet the farm that her eyes are brown... Eb??? Sanest and smartest lady in Mudville... As fir where God goes to get away??? Hey, word on the street is that God sneaks back here in Pine Grove Holler and holes up in my ol' Spartanette trailer... I donno... Ain't seen God back here but I kinda feel God's presence now and then so ya' never know... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Ebbie Date: 19 Sep 10 - 10:19 PM I like this article by Susan Brooks Thistlewhite, liberal Former president of Chicago Theological Seminary (1998-2008 who writes about Stewart and Colbert's 'rallies' in October. "The United States of America isn't united any more; it's being torn apart by media-driven extremism; the two extremes in American politics and religion today paint each other not only as wrong, but as evil and in the grip of demonic forces. The future of our democratic experiment is literally at risk in this increasing extremism. Democracy is the art of compromise; it requires that Americans who hold different views be able to develop enough empathy for each other so that bi-partisanship can actually occur, and the country move forward. If we cannot cut each other any slack at all, democracy cannot function. The Stewart rally advertising says, "We're looking for the people who think shouting is annoying, counterproductive, and terrible for your throat; who feel that the loudest voices shouldn't be the only ones that get heard; and who believe that the only time it's appropriate to draw a Hitler mustache on someone is when that person is actually Hitler. Or Charlie Chaplin in certain roles." In other words, 'tone it down' so we can hear ourselves think." And again: "The ad for the "March to Keep Fear Alive" punctures the religious pretensions of a Beck-type rally, inviting you to march with "The Rev. Sir Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A....to Restore Truthiness." The Colbert march lampoons uncritical nationalism and its use to foster fear and keep people from actually thinking about solving America's problems. "America, the Greatest Country God ever gave Man, was built on three bedrock principles: Freedom. Liberty. And Fear -- that someone might take our Freedom and Liberty. But now, there are dark, optimistic forces trying to take away our Fear -- forces with salt and pepper hair and way more Emmys than they need. They want to replace our Fear with reason. But never forget -- "Reason" is just one letter away from "Treason." Coincidence? Reasonable people would say it is, but America can't afford to take that chance." "So do consider joining these innovative Americans on October 30th on the National Mall and laugh. Couldn't hurt." |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Amos Date: 19 Sep 10 - 10:48 PM Bear in mind that back in Washington's administration the same divisiveness tore the administration apart, fueled by the deadlock of differing philosophies between Adams and Hamilton. Jefferson got so disgusted with the bickering he retired. And the principle vectors were similar--industrialized and centralized business versus distributed and largely agrarian self-determination.

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 20 Sep 10 - 12:53 AM No Bobert, I don't have a Jones for disliking Ebbs, nor you..I just think that you're too 'party' minded, instead of 'reality' minded...and because of that, you guys say some pretty off the wall, dogmatic shit! Actually, I've wondered if some of the stuff you guys say is a satirical parody on the Democrapic Potty. Apparently, not...that makes it even, either more tragic, or more hilarious!..depending on one's state of mind, at the moment...Then you guys try these really stupid and lightweight snipes..come on, let's present the facts in a salient dialog. The let's go from there....or...not! GfS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Ebbie Date: 20 Sep 10 - 01:26 AM The main thing I have against some people is that they're dogmatic even in their lack of affiliation, coy/cute (which gets really old), predictable and just plain tiresome. There is nothing in the world scarier to me than a person who is sure they are right. Give me a questioner every time. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Wesley S Date: 20 Sep 10 - 07:51 AM Amos sez: "Bear in mind that back in Washington's administration the same divisiveness tore the administration apart, fueled by the deadlock of differing philosophies between Adams and Hamilton. Jefferson got so disgusted with the bickering he retired." But the difference between then and now is that they didn't have several 24/7 news services egging them on and spending an inordinate amount of time covering the fringes of discourse. Anyone who is a moderate in America must feel like they are left out in the cold. I'm worried that the art of compromise is being thrown out like the baby with the bathwater. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: akenaton Date: 20 Sep 10 - 08:05 AM The time for moderation has long passed. Do you not realise you have been robbed and enslaved by the system? And before someone reminds me that I am not American and therefore my views are worthless, I wish our electorate was being energised by people like Sarah and her grizzlies. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Bobert Date: 20 Sep 10 - 08:53 AM Yes, Ake... Those of us with an real sense of history (as opposed to contemporary mythology which is currently being served up by the right as real history) fully understand that were are indeed "enslaved by the system"... But inspite of GfinS's constant drumbeat that if you don't take up the mythology of the Tealiban that yer a "Democrat" with a large "D", that most of us on the left really are quite pragamatic, tolerant and willing to reach out to reasonabl;e people and reasonable thought processes... I mean, let's get real... The extreme right is not all that different from the Taliban... They are dogmatic, intolerant of new ideas and are willing to use violence to get their way... This cannot be said of those of us on the left... That is a very imporatnt destinction that those on the right don't want to be allowed the light of day... No, it's far easier for them to say "You're either with us or you're against us"... That is a bogus premise... But that's what they are hell bent on selling becuase if they can get that to ***take*** then ***they*** think that any tactic they choose to use is okee-dokee... This rationalization has been put forth over and over and over by GfinS as if she thinks she says it often enough then it will somehow transpose from mythology into reality... In other words, "both sides" are not the same... One side, the right, is absolutely steeped in win'lose mentality and we on the left are more than willing to sit down and try to frind the pragamtic middle... That is reality... I'm sick of hearing the right wing PR bullshit that we are this polorized society... That is pure BS... We have one side that refuses to play nice: the right... Period!!! B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: DebC Date: 20 Sep 10 - 09:11 AM Right-Left...it's all getting a bit too much. I think Stewart and Colbert have done a great thing in using their positions to send a very important message to everyone in America. As Stewart told the Crossfire dudes six years ago: "Please stop hurting our country." Debra Cowan |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: akenaton Date: 20 Sep 10 - 09:52 AM Bobert....I know you are a good guy, and I have a lot of respect for your politics, but the latest financial crash must surely bring it home to you that the system respects neither left nor right...it is a law unto itself. This type of economy requires to have continual growth to survive...the de-regulation of the banking system was not produced by a few greedy fat cats, it was actively encouraged by both a centre right govt in America and a centre left govt in Britain....nothing to do with party politics really, just survival of the system....and with the survival of the system we also get the survial of the system's political parties. They had run out of options for growth....I have seen all the "booms", housing, land, manufacturing, IT. All that was left was "credit" and they played it for all we were worth. Some day we've got to wake up and realise that Capitalism has moved on to pastures new....we are a backwater and must be prepared to adopt new values....we've got to ditch the present political set-up, the people who run it can no longer help us, they are now shown as the parasites we always secretly thought them to be. It's difficult for we on the left, but we can never effect change by opposing the silent majority, we must destroy the ideology of evolutionary capitalism....no matter how dear it may be to the inhabitants of this time warp. |

Then you say: "I mean, let's get real... The extreme right is not all that different from the Taliban... They are dogmatic, intolerant of new ideas and are willing to use violence to get their way..." Look, the EXTREME of anything is just an EXTREME. The 'extremes' do not represent the mainstream of the populace...nor should opposing arguments be portrayed, as 'extremist'...unless, of course, YOU are the extremist!!!! The, so called 'Republicans', as well as the Democrats, are BOTH NOT happy with the Tea Baggers. This is mostly because, both the R's and D's, are pushing THEIR agendas, for 'remedies' for the problems that they both caused, rather than REPRESENTING their constituents!!! Both of them push thinking, rather than LISTENING to what the country is telling them!! Both R's and D's believers, are just content in letting OTHER people, who happen to be in the pockets of 'special interests', do their thinking for them! This, my dear fuzzy friend, is not a true Republic, of representative government, nor a very Democratic process, of self governing. It IS us, being TOLD what two choices we have to have, to arrive at the same thing...at the cost of our personal freedoms! So, if it sounds like a 'broken record' to you, I'd suggest getting your needle out of the same screwed up groove! Ebbie: "There is nothing in the world scarier to me than a person who is sure they are right. Give me a questioner every time." Are you sure? Akenaton, Thanks for the tune. I'll have to cobble one up for you! GfS |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Stringsinger Date: 21 Sep 10 - 12:31 PM "Moderation in all things including moderation". Sometimes you have to take a stand. Jon Stewart provides a good model for how to do this. Be respectful of a person with a different viewpoint. Discuss rather than name-call. Speak in a modulated tone and don't shout or pound the table. Stick to the facts as you know them. Don't go for the ad-hominem. Keep a good sense of humor. You gotta' love Jon Stewart, I think. He puts dialogue above ranting. Colbert is a great satirist. He play-acts the Republican today. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: beardedbruce Date: 21 Sep 10 - 01:28 PM "They are dogmatic, intolerant of new ideas and are willing to use violence to get their way... This cannot be said of those of us on the left... " Actually, the ACTION of the Dems during the last two years has proven that they have NO tolerance for comprimise or even allowing the other side to have a say. "That is a very imporatnt destinction that those on the right don't want to be allowed the light of day... No, it's far easier for them to say "You're either with us or you're against us"." The Left does not want to allow it to be known of them, either. IMO, the present Dem controlled Congress has shown that NEITHER party can be allowed to have control of BOTH houses and the Executive branch. Reps. may have driven us into a ditch, but the Dems have pushed us over the cliff. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: gnu Date: 21 Sep 10 - 05:00 PM Just taped Stewart on Oprah. I expect it will be fun to watch. As this thread STARTED out, the man is intelligent, well read, articulate, SANE, and very comical. And, a political influence that is a thorn in the side of both left and right and all in between, including the white collar criminals, that talk trash and bullshit. His thunder roars loudly throughout the US and far beyond and the sniping and trolling in this thread and in the medai do not decrease it. Such only turns up the volume. Crank it up on ten. |

I thought the point of the Bill of Rights was to correct the PROBLEMS of "majority rule" And I do not see that locking the minority out of discussions is in any way trying to build a consensus, but that is just what the Democrats have done the last two years. I hope YOU think it is OK when the Democrats are (back in) the minority, and the Republicans do what the Dems have demonstrated is "proper politics". |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: beardedbruce Date: 22 Sep 10 - 01:06 PM Bush did NOTHING like Reid and Pelosi have done, in keeping the minority party from any input into bills. I see that the same old Dem talking point of "Blame Bush" is being applied- and it will backfire, and put far more Republicans into office than an honest admission that many people do not want what the Democrats have PASSED ( NOT what they said- some of that was desired, but the result AS PASSED is NOT what people want.). |

I mean, lets get real here, bruce... Mythological proclamations on yer part will not make chicken sald outta chicken shit... As for "Blame Bush"??? Yeah, hi did leave the worse economy since the 1920s Great Depression... Look how long it took the country to dig out of that one... More than a decade... Fact: Bush ordered up two wars without any means of paying for them Fact: Bush pushed thru an unfunded Medicare prescription plan again without funding... Fact: Bush pushed thru tax cuts which have contributed greatly to the defecits... Fact: Bush left Obma a massive 1st year deficit budget... Fact: Bush held out the credit card on alot of his spending and said "Just charge it" and those bills are now coming due... Fact: Bush came into office with surplus and left with the largest deficit in history So, hey... I understand that the Repubs wnat power back... Maybe you'd like to tell the folks what the heck they would do different from the wrong stuff they did the last time they had control... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: beardedbruce Date: 22 Sep 10 - 02:37 PM Amos, The same way that Obama knows how many jobs he "saved or created"- IT IS MY OPINION. You may have some other opinion- Neither is right OR wrong until after the FACTS prove what happens. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Amos Date: 22 Sep 10 - 02:57 PM Lessee--Jon Stewart wants to rally the quiet middle, to restore sanity to the political dialogue. Good idea? I think so. Maybe some working definitions of an acceptable proposition--fact based, non-generalized, hate-free, as accurate as possible given available data--would start building a bridge. "Bush ruined everything" and "Obama is a Kenyan socialist" would both fail to qualify. A |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Bobert Date: 22 Sep 10 - 02:58 PM No, bb... Someone is alot closer to being right than the other... Non flat-earth economists are in agreement that the stimulis has both saved and created jobs... I eman, loomk at where the country was in the late fall of '08... The economy was collapsing all around an incoming president... He even said at the time that he didn't think when he first decided to run for president that he's be put in a situation as dismal as the one that Bush left... (But, Boberdz... You are Bush blamer...) Yeah, and why wouldn'tg I be... Bush di the stupid stuff and in this world where Repubs gleefully cramed "persoanl responsibility" down the working class's throat it is fitting for Bush to have to pown up to his miserable policies that have hurt our country ver bad...

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: beardedbruce Date: 22 Sep 10 - 03:00 PM No Bobert. YOU have already said that Obama had to live with Bush's budget- so BUSH was the one who saved or created any jobs that year. Or were you wrong about that budget??? |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Jack the Sailor Date: 22 Sep 10 - 03:30 PM Anyone who is a moderate in America must feel like they are left out in the cold. I'm worried that the art of compromise is being thrown out like the baby with the bathwater. Certainly this happened to Obama with Health Care in the Senate, with Snowe and others later bragging that thy were NOT negotiating in good faith and only trying top obstruct. Democrat supporters have accused their party of giving away too much in their attempts to compromise. Bruce's post shows why it is pointless to even attempt such compromise. As Olbermann said last night, "The Republicans are playing rugby. The Democrats are playing ping pong." |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Jack the Sailor Date: 22 Sep 10 - 04:04 PM Two Trillion in war spending was also not in Bush's budgets. But the money was spent.

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Amos Date: 22 Sep 10 - 04:13 PM The stimulus plan, Bruce, was floated at the tail-end of Bush's time to resolve a catastrophic financial collapse brought about by the ineptitude and dishonesty and misguidedness of (a)his administration and (b) the big-money hotshots who couldn't take their eyes off the huge pots of money they could make by ripping off the system. That financial collapse was built on Bush's deficit and his deliberate avoidance of taking any action to keep his treasured "base" in line. IF Obama had let Bush's financial catastrophe proceed unchecked you surely would be posting things now blaming him for ignoring it. You can't have it both ways, amigo. A |

No one is arguing that people under the Dem brand CAN be just as asinine as people under the Republican brand, or for that matter people under the libertarian, anarchic, socialist, internationalist, or any other damn theory-of-group-management brand. Individual assholes and hypocrites are EASY to find in political schools and camps. Nothing easier. That does not mean that the whole class--including those in it who are trying to do something positive and make some progress--should be roundly and hysterically condemned by your sweeping assertions.
