Thanks for sharing...only a few more months of making fun of "W" and then what will we do for fun...oh,well. I guess I can make that sacrifice to regain the national sanity and hopefully the respsect of the parts of the world who now think we are oil grubbing morons for electing him in the first place.

The fine print...

Quote:
Possible side effects may include nausea, loss of appetite, intolerance, memory loss, and uncontrollable desire to attack Iran, an appreciation for the comedic stylings of Dennis Miller, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly, sexual dysfunction and the sudden urge to try to pick up undercover police officers in airport men’s rooms, intellectual paralysis, and aversion to ethnic foods, nostalgia for a time that never existed, seizures when exposed to pictures of Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, an ability to ignore your own hypocrisy, an irresistible urge to cut taxes for rich people, unexplainable empathy for health insurance companies, sleepiness and irrational and delusional belief that George W. Bush is a great president. GOPEXOR may cause extreme paranoia in some users, prompting them to rationalize using torture, intercepting telephone calls and e-mails or suspending the Constitution to wage an imaginary war against a nebulous enemy. Do not use GOPEXOR if you plan to operate heavy machinery. GOPEXOR should not be used by pregnant women, children or people who think the country is headed in the wrong direction. GOPEXOR may also cause some users to continually spout meaningless slogans instead of solving seemingly insurmountable problems.


:lmao:

I like that... maybe I should see if our Emergency Department is fully stocked with it!

I don't get any of it. It sounds like the stuff on the Stephen Colbert show which my friend watches all the time and never makes sense to me. I guess I'm just not tuned into this frequency of humor. :(

Sometimes I think most Americans have Alzheimer's... how easily they forget what their political "heroes" did to screw them over in the past.

McCain, the new darling of the right, has voted consistently for amnesty for illegals, gun control, and sponsored and got passed into law a comprehensive ban on political free speech he euphemistically called campaign finance reform. He also voted against Bush's tax cuts and against most pro-life legislation. Something tells me most GOP voters would lose interest in him if they remembered any of that. And as for Democrat voters who say they will vote for McCain if their candidate doesn't get the Dem nomination... they have obviously forgotten his statement that US troops could remain in Iraq for 100 years, and his horrible "bomb-bomb-bomb bomb-bomb Iran" karaoke to the Beach Boys "Barbara Ann" tune.

Obama, the candidate for change and against the war, has taken money from corporate lobbyists in spite of his denials, has voted consistently to fund the Iraq war, and has said he won't take anything off the table regarding Iran (in other words, won't rule out nuclear strikes). If his legions of fans remembered any of that, I wonder how much change they would think he will really bring to the White House.

and then there's Hillary Clinton,... well if she is telling the truth about the matter, she has Alzheimer's herself... I don't care if it was 14 years ago, being fired upon by snipers or not is something a healthy mind doesn't forget. And then there are all the scandals from the Clinton years that all of her supporters have forgotten... it doesn't matter if they believe there was anything to them or not, if they remembered them then surely they would realize that if she is President they will all be drudged up again (pun intended) along with every new accusation Ken Starr (or his successor) can come up with.

Needless to say, if even a sizable minority of Americans had memory retention beyond that of your average goldfish (at least when it comes to politics) we MIGHT have some better candidates to choose from.

We will still have plenty to do after Dubya leaves. It's called cleaning up his freaking mess.

I wonder how long it takes for Bin Ladens money to run out... once Dubya's out of office, no one's gonna pay him to be a pretend 'terrorist' anymore...

I don't think bin Laden is a "pretend" anything. I think he's the real thing.

Pretty good, although I don't like government and I do feel we've developed a sort of dependency on technology, no matter how useful it is.

I would agree with this.

I also recall a speech he made that his intentions do destroy America, was not to do so wth bombs but to ruin us economically. Then we begain the Iraq war and played directly into his plans.....???? It does appear to me, as absurd as it sounds, that there are people who planned this war who either did not hear thee words or were to short sited to understand them.

To a leftist, anything derogatory about what they don't agree with is "funny". I'll tell you MY idea of funny: Make that avatar of yours into a T-shirt and get on a plane to Havana. I'm willing to put money down that the Cuban officials are SOOOOOO stupid, you could walk right into a neighborhood Committee of the Defense of the Revolution location and not get called on it. I came close to painting "Viva Dubya" (and tell them "Dubya" was a revered official of the old Soviet Union) on a wall in Habana Vieja right under "Viva Hugo Chavez", but lost my nerve.
