10 Helpful Hints for the Democratic Party |
Here’s the best I can do for Democrats if they are serious about actually
winning elections in the future, and not just interested in calling
Republicans "idiots" and "liars." Here goes, try to follow along.
1) People who go to church are not evil. They also vote. There are lots of
them. You do the math.
2) Americans like guns. This won't change. Ever. Work harder to put cop
killers into the electric chair, and stop reaching for Bubba's 12-guage
"duck-shredder" in the back window of his pickup.
3) Get some balls on national defense. President JFK, won the biggest "No-
Limit Hold 'Em" hand of the 20th century against the Soviet Union during
the Cuban missile crisis. (And he was only holding two-Jacks!) What the
hell happened to you people ever since?
4) If you want to connect with the "common man", try NOT to nominate French
speaking, trophy-wife hunting, aloof windsurfers who can't even throw a
baseball 60'6".
5) Tell Michael Moore to go bury himself in a truckload of Hostess
Twinkies. Every party has their freak element. Do you see Pat Buchanan
being trotted out by the GOP anymore?
6) If you think gays should have the right to get married, then win the
argument with the public first. Don't ask judges to cut corners for you.
7) Stop courting the "Youth Vote." Counting on a bunch of Ludacris blasting
punks to save you politically on election day, is like an NBA team saying:
"Don't worry, Shaq's gonna make these free throws."
8) Have lunch with Zell Miller, and actually listen to what he has to say.
You tried dismissing him as a lunatic, but his convention speech was more
spot-on than a ketchup drop on a starched white business shirt. (Oops, I
was channeling my "inner Rather" there, sorry.)
9) Stop taking Hollywood money. It not only makes actors think they have a
right to speak on your party’s behalf, but it has the addictive power of
political heroin. Better to hold a thousand small pancake dinners at WFV
halls in "red country."
10) Lighten up, for once! America really doesn't suck as much as you seem
to think it does. I know liberals have a yearning for "utopian" (aka
"perfect") societies, but let's be real, all humans are flawed. If you
somehow find a way to see America as a great country constantly striving to
be better, you'll start moving into harmony with most Americans. A little
sunshine goes a long way.

If you would bother to actually write something in English, rather in
whatever language you are attempting to blather in, I might understand
you. However, having read your posts in the past, I probably would
decide that you're just not worth the bother.

Turkey has a similar law which forbids radicals from getting into
parliament. Maybe that is what the US needs.

Republicans "idiots" and "liars." Here goes, try to follow along.
1) People who go to church are not evil. They also vote. There are lots of
them. You do the math.
Alot of them happen to be bigots. Doesn't mean I'm gonna paint my
skin white to fit in with them...
Anyway to address your point Kerry's was Catholic and had the same
views as Bush did on gay marriage (no but civil OK). By 'morals'
American voters really meant 'status quo'.
2) Americans like guns. This won't change. Ever. Work harder to put cop
killers into the electric chair, and stop reaching for Bubba's 12-guage
"duck-shredder" in the back window of his pickup.
What do you consider a valid upper limits on constitutional arms?
Nukes, Tanks, Mines, RPGs, TOWs, Assault rifles, Sniper rifles, etc.?
Personally I'm fine with small arms (home defense) and rifles (good
for hunting). Assault rifles with laser scopes are not meant nor
necessary for home defense as far as I'm concerned.
I didn't see this as a campaign issue whatsoever (and very few voters
said this mattered to them relative to other issues).
3) Get some balls on national defense. President JFK, won the biggest "No-
Limit Hold 'Em" hand of the 20th century against the Soviet Union during
the Cuban missile crisis. (And he was only holding two-Jacks!) What the
hell happened to you people ever since?
How so? You mean spend some more money on stealth tech when a
conventional cruise missile can hit the same target with greater
accuracy? Invest in a missile defence system, and undo MAD (mutually
ensured destruction) knowing that there are no 'rogue' nations capable
or near capable of ICBM tech... Remember how Bush agreed with Kerry
in the debates that insecure free nuclear materials was the most
important threat to the world? I wonder why he is still throwing all
this money into the missile shield and none into securing those
materials.... perhaps because defence companies profit from one and
not the other?
4) If you want to connect with the "common man", try NOT to nominate French
speaking, trophy-wife hunting, aloof windsurfers who can't even throw a
baseball 60'6".
Yeah, cause the common man knows so much about running the most
powerful nation in the world. "Let's all elect Buck from down the
street he does ever so good of a job running the convenience store!"
P.S. how 'common' do you really think Bush is? He's a
cocaine-snorting, Yale Skull graduate who's run every business he's
ever had into the ground and has lived off his daddy's handouts.
Yeah, that's real common....
5) Tell Michael Moore to go bury himself in a truckload of Hostess
Twinkies. Every party has their freak element. Do you see Pat Buchanan
being trotted out by the GOP anymore?
Let's play that game:
I see a guy who cheated in a debate by using a teleprompter, admits he
refuses to read or look at the news, was adamant about not even being
in the same studio as his opponent and who is of questionable mental
health actually winning a seat in Kentucky as a Republican.
I see Pat Robertson proclaiming everyday that Bush is God's man and
that voting against him is a vote for the devil.
Oh and don't forget Keyes...
Moore's a free man with free speech. You want to say something to him
than go find him.
6) If you think gays should have the right to get married, then win the
argument with the public first. Don't ask judges to cut corners for you.
No one asked them, they're doing their job - upholding the
consitution. We have courts because it is recognized that just
because the majority think something doesn't make it legal or
beneficial for society. Checks and balances are important in any
government.
7) Stop courting the "Youth Vote." Counting on a bunch of Ludacris blasting
punks to save you politically on election day, is like an NBA team saying:
"Don't worry, Shaq's gonna make these free throws."
It's not just courting, it's educating. When all you old bigots die
America is gonna be in the hands of people who actually care about the
phrase freedom and justice for all. One of those punks will be your
president one day, get used to it.
8) Have lunch with Zell Miller, and actually listen to what he has to say.
You tried dismissing him as a lunatic, but his convention speech was more
spot-on than a ketchup drop on a starched white business shirt. (Oops, I
was channeling my "inner Rather" there, sorry.)
To be honest didn't hear the speech, don't know him. Why don't you
post the transcript or something if it is so enlightening?
9) Stop taking Hollywood money. It not only makes actors think they have a
right to speak on your party?s behalf, but it has the addictive power of
political heroin. Better to hold a thousand small pancake dinners at WFV
halls in "red country."
I'll play:
Stop takin Fundamentalist money. It not only makes fundies think they
have a right to speak on your party's behalf, but it has the
addictive power of political heroin (You know how conservative like
complaining about special interest groups....). better to convince
some churchgoers that they're destined to hell unless they vote for
your guy.
OR Stop taking defense company monies. Oh wait, that doesn't go to
the caimpaign just straight to the BW/DC duo.
10) Lighten up, for once! America really doesn't suck as much as you seem
to think it does. I know liberals have a yearning for "utopian" (aka
"perfect") societies, but let's be real, all humans are flawed. If you
somehow find a way to see America as a great country constantly striving to
be better, you'll start moving into harmony with most Americans. A little
sunshine goes a long way.
Hey I accept that people are flawed, and I accept the world isn't
perfect. That doesn't mean I'm not going to try and make it better.
I also don't give a damn what the majority thinks. I will accept
things that are presented reasonably and logically to me, simply
repeating the same old statement doesn't work on most of those willing
to actually THINK. Hey, if conformity is what suits you go for it.
It's interesting how the conservatives are pushing the dems to
compromise. Before the election all they did was equate compromise
with weakness but now they advocate it every chance they get...

There is not a one-to-one correlation with church goers and bigots, but I
would bet that the correlation is higher than chance alone would predict.

I didn't see this as a campaign issue whatsoever (and very few voters

It is fun watching the rabid gun rights group try to insist that arms means
guns... not 'cause they can support it, but because they want it to.
3) Get some balls on national defense. President JFK, won the biggest "No-
Limit Hold 'Em" hand of the 20th century against the Soviet Union during

important threat to the world? I wonder why he is still throwing all

You mean all the money (AKA bribes) have an affect on politics? Noooo....
4) If you want to connect with the "common man", try NOT to nominate French
speaking, trophy-wife hunting, aloof windsurfers who can't even throw a
baseball 60'6".
Yeah, cause the common man knows so much about running the most
powerful nation in the world. "Let's all elect Buck from down the
street he does ever so good of a job running the convenience store!"
Could Bush even do that? Really... is there anything to suggest he has such
skills?
P.S. how 'common' do you really think Bush is? He's a
cocaine-snorting, Yale Skull graduate who's run every business he's
ever had into the ground and has lived off his daddy's handouts.
Yeah, that's real common....

Oh and don't forget Keyes...
Moore's a free man with free speech. You want to say something to him
than go find him.
Moore is the equal and opposite reaction to Rush... except Moore is far more
honest and reasonable... and funny ... than Rush.
6) If you think gays should have the right to get married, then win the
argument with the public first. Don't ask judges to cut corners for you.
No one asked them, they're doing their job - upholding the
consitution. We have courts because it is recognized that just
because the majority think something doesn't make it legal or
beneficial for society. Checks and balances are important in any
government.
Some want to see activist judges go against equal rights for gays.
Insanity.
7) Stop courting the "Youth Vote." Counting on a bunch of Ludacris blasting
punks to save you politically on election day, is like an NBA team saying:
"Don't worry, Shaq's gonna make these free throws."
It's not just courting, it's educating. When all you old bigots die
America is gonna be in the hands of people who actually care about the
phrase freedom and justice for all. One of those punks will be your
president one day, get used to it.
How many kids can't figure out how to safely eat a pretzel? :)
8) Have lunch with Zell Miller, and actually listen to what he has to say.
You tried dismissing him as a lunatic, but his convention speech was more
spot-on than a ketchup drop on a starched white business shirt. (Oops, I
was channeling my "inner Rather" there, sorry.)
To be honest didn't hear the speech, don't know him. Why don't you
post the transcript or something if it is so enlightening?
9) Stop taking Hollywood money. It not only makes actors think they have a
right to speak on your party?s behalf, but it has the addictive power of
political heroin. Better to hold a thousand small pancake dinners at WFV
halls in "red country."
I'll play:
Stop takin Fundamentalist money. It not only makes fundies think they
have a right to speak on your party's behalf, but it has the
addictive power of political heroin (You know how conservative like
complaining about special interest groups....). better to convince
some churchgoers that they're destined to hell unless they vote for
your guy.
OR Stop taking defense company monies. Oh wait, that doesn't go to
the caimpaign just straight to the BW/DC duo.
Both parties are in the pockets of big business. It is sickening.
10) Lighten up, for once! America really doesn't suck as much as you seem
to think it does. I know liberals have a yearning for "utopian" (aka
"perfect") societies, but let's be real, all humans are flawed. If you
somehow find a way to see America as a great country constantly striving to
be better, you'll start moving into harmony with most Americans. A little
sunshine goes a long way.
Hey I accept that people are flawed, and I accept the world isn't
perfect. That doesn't mean I'm not going to try and make it better.
I also don't give a damn what the majority thinks. I will accept
things that are presented reasonably and logically to me, simply
repeating the same old statement doesn't work on most of those willing
to actually THINK. Hey, if conformity is what suits you go for it.
Well stated...
It's interesting how the conservatives are pushing the dems to
compromise. Before the election all they did was equate compromise
with weakness but now they advocate it every chance they get...
lol...

It is fun watching the rabid gun rights group try to insist that arms means
guns... not 'cause they can support it, but because they want it to.
I'm unfamiliar with this argument...do you claim that "arms" means
swords? Clubs? I thought the amendment made it clear that the
equipment was supposed to be that appropriate for use by a militia,
I'd think that guns would be a minimum.

The point is that the constitution lists the right to possess arms but
in no ways define them. In fact at the time of draft this provision
was used to allow private owners to possess small arms as well as
cannons. Nowadays gunright lobbyists have redefined it (in their own
minds) to mean guns explicitly although on paper it is just as vague
as ever. Thus arms can refer from handguns, to bebes, to assault
rifles, to sniper rifles, to pretty much any weapon. The government
has tried at times to change the const so that it would refer to
something less vague and more reasonable but lobbyists always shoot
that down. The ammendment is outdated and needs rewriting but that'll
never happen as long as lobbyists fight any change that has any
measure to do with said ammendment. The wording of the ammendment
leaves room for exploitation which may be observed as 'guns' are
remodified and continually improved (i.e. why do you need an assualt
rifle, really? Under what law would personal railguns be regulated?
etc.)

The Second Amendment is not about hunting. It is about the ability of
citizens to oppose an oppressive government, such as a Kerry regime would
have brought. True assault rifles are somewhat useful in this role, though
the usefulness is somewhat over rated due to the large amount of ammunition
required to use these in full auto mode.
By definition, an assault rifle is a mid range, select fire (full auto
selector), lightweight rifle. The Clinton 'Assault Weapon Ban" had nothing
to do with select fire weapons. These have been tightly regulated since 1933
and require a special license from the Federal government to legally own.
Railguns are not regulated in the US and one may freely build one:

Plans are readily available.

If every citizen owned a rifle, a simple hunting rifle, it
would be impossible to govern them without their consent.
Yes, they couldn't stand up to military operations - but
they wouldn't have to.

There you have it! An armed populace is less easy to push around. That's
why the one-worlders and lefties want our guns taken away from us. Their
job becomes harder if we're armed.

Our job to do WHAT becomes harder? Our job to vote and expect it to be
counted fairly? Our job to provide health care to all Americans including
you? Our job to provide for our elderly? Our job to provide for the poor?
How exactly will you having a "simple hunting rifle" prevent us from trying
to help all Americans?
You deserve George Bush.

The funny thing is I bet that George also wants arms to be limited... so he
is no better than the people he whines about... at least as he states it.

Your "job" to destroy the Republic and replace it with a "one world"
government run by the United Nations. As long as America is armed you
can't do that by force and it really pisses your kind off!

You could start by practicing what you preach.

Whether we want that expensive and inadequate health care or not, eh?
Our job to provide for our elderly? Our job to provide for the poor?
How about letting them take care of themselves?

to help all Americans?
See above.
You deserve George Bush.
Don't give him to me. I don't want him - but then I didn't want Kerry
either.

George's views are not based on logic or rationality, but faith.
He has faith that some higher power is out there trying to ruin his life.
Like all religions whackos, he has no proof.

When I said "one worlder" you responded as if I was talking to you
personally. That might have been where I got it. If you don't want to be
lumped with those people, my advice would be don't answer as if you are
one of them.
Where do you people get this *****? With a country full of

I'm not the one who cannot decide whether or not he's a "one worlder."
Id watch throwing around epithets like 'moron' were I you, they might
come back and hit you in the face. Whoops! Too late.
