Hey purvy. How’s it hangin? Heh heh. I need to ask questions, because your post is incoherent. Hillary and Barrack, the front runners, are unelectable? Letting your bias talk for your brain, eh? Well, there’s a lot of that going around. I’ll leave it, for now.

But dood. You’re enemies with reality? Man, that’s gonna leave a mark. I mean, you are going to have a hard time winning an argument against reality. I can see it now. You go all wack that the sky is green. People tell you the sky is blue. You confidently, even arrogantly inform them “oh no, my friend, you are sadly mis informed, I know for a FACT the sky is green”. And they say “well, dude, go outside and look”, and you’d be all like “well, sure, I mean I COULD go outside and look, but what would that prove? I mean, ultimately, reality is over – rated”.

You’re gonna lose. Every time. Sucker…..

Ms. Slaughter is to be commended for following in Rupert Murdoch’s footsteps and donating money to both Obama and Clinton, the two certifiably unelectable candidates. With a Democratic president and congress, who would bother to come to her bipartisan tea parties? Even a moderate like John Negroponte would find the mention of death squads and fascism somewhat discomfitting and probably decline her invitation to break bread with the real enemy – the reality based community.

“Left-liberal blog attacks on moderate liberals have reached the point where “mainstream media” bloggers such as Joe Klein at Time magazine are wading in to call for a truce, only to get lambasted themselves.”

WTF?

Scary that this person is a Dean….

Partisanship: Your way is wrong, my way is the only way.

Bipartisanship: Let’s compromise and do it my way.

“From the left, many progressives have responded to the foreign policy failures of the Bush administration by trying to purge their fellow liberals.”

Um, I’ve read that a number of times now and maybe it’s just that I’m really tired, but isn’t that like saying “George Bush reacted to a terrorist attack perpetrated by Saudi Arabian citizens by invading Iraq.”

Slaughter is using a different scale to you guys. All of these “bipartisanship” bullshitters do.

Here is how it works. Anyone “liberal” is a loony. Discount them.

So your spectrum runs from Hillary Clinton (practically a communist) through Negroponte and Zoellick (moderates) to Dick Cheney (occasionally strays to the right) and General Pinochet (centre-right).

I’m pretty sure I’ve been in Iowa, but I can’t remember it. But when Shoeless Joe asks “Is this heaven?” and Ray Kinsella says “No, it’s Iowa” it gets me good…

Heydave: Just lately I’ve been running into Iowa ties everywhere on the intertoobz. One thing about Iowa, you can’t go outside without tripping over a presidential candidate. It’s a heaven for political junkies. The day after the caucuses, though, we’ll be left in the gutter in an alcoholic fog, forgotten for another four years.

Not to be a downer but, what and where is this mythical place of constructive bipartisanshit and dialogue? Was it when the press were attacking Carter 24/7? Was it when the press bowed down and worshiped the ground that Raygun drooled on? Was it when the press obsessed about a conservative Democratic president’s penis?

Was it during the battle to pass the Civil Rights Act?

Lets face it. Politics ain’t never been civil.

Yes, but the other thread has a comment accusing Seb of moral leprosy.

EGN:

To be fair, he did boldly forge a middle path between not killing people and nuking Central America. He should be commended for finding a third way between those two extreme positions.

You could watch O’Reilly and get all the bagged-in-the-field, genetically-modified, factory-farmed, pseudo-outrage-like textured soybean product you can handle.

Most Americans at this point wouldn’t recognize real, old-fashioned outrage — it isn’t pretty, and can have dirt and stuff on it.

¿MeoWtf?

¿Negroponte?

Ooh, si, Honduran death squads being notoriously bipartisan.

Certanamente, eet takes a real spirit of civility and cooperation amongst all parties to rape mothers
een front of their children, and shoot nuns een the head.

Pfui, thees woman geeves me hairballs.

I’d send you some good old fashioned Iowa outrage, mikey, but I hear Bush recently issued an EO against interstate outrage trafficking. It could get us 30 to life in a facility in an unspecified Eastern European country…

I dunno, I’m not a huge fan of that imported outrage. I like locally grown, organic outrage you can get down in Gilroy….
