Declaring it "incorrect" is a schoolgirl blurt. It's bad manners too. And meaningless except insofar as it discovers an attitude.

Well, consider the source.

I did exactly that when I crafted the response, thanks.

@Cycloptichorn,

Seems all you do these days is to consider the source. Who cares what the source actually says or anything of that sort, right? Just so long as you can bash it as some sort of ghastly conservative boogieman.

Only when it's you.

I do care about what the 'source' said; in this case, the source was incorrect in their estimation.

Look, you Conservatives are quite heavily invested in showing that nothing has changed since Obama has been elected; so you will put a lot of effort into showing all the things that HAVEN'T changed, in order to try and justify your former failed leadership and the poor decisions they made.

But this is incorrect, and deserves derision, not discussion. I have endeavored to do exactly this: deride them, and you, McG.

Well- any sensible person would deride failed leadership and poor decisions. Obviously.

You need though to show that there was failed leadership and poor decisions. Your argument is a non sequitur otherwise. Which is to say hopeless.

Fortunately, we here in America don't need a British drunk to properly assess the failures of the Republican party; it is self-evident and the results of said failures have been a decimation at the ballot box the last two cycles.

Thanks for attempting to contribute to the conversation, however.

@Cycloptichorn,

Mr McCain received nearly 60 million votes. That's not decimation.

And there were factors in his candidacy outside of asserted "failed leadership and poor decisions" by the previous admin. His age for example. The sexiness of his opponent. (See your sig.) The electorate wanting a "change" for the sake of change.

Has there been any change? I will admit that the triumphal entry into London for the summit was at a pitch never before seen here.

What's your definition of "drunk" Cyclo? Is it that state you get into after walking past a fermenting apple core in the gutter. Are you a tee-total, non-smoking, shy all-American boy like Norman Mailer?

Yes, it is. And the election was about more than just the President; the Republicans lost an additional 9 seats in the Senate and 20-something in the house.

In the last two years, the Republicans have lost 15-16 seats in the senate and 60+ in the House. That's decimation. It's put them in a hole that will take a decade or more to climb out of, even if they have several successful cycles in a row.

mmm hmm.

Some. But there remains more to be done, for sure.

You don't seem to understand, that by accusing you of drunkenness, I am being charitable. The alternative is much worse - that you regularly make such low-quality and incomprehensible posts in your sober state.

@Cycloptichorn,

And you live and breathe assertions. You should start each day like I do. With a clean sheet. Knowing nothing. It's expansive. Living on assertions is like going down the plughole spiralling downwards.

"Shedding off one more layer of skin,
Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within."

Try persecuting yourself some time Cyclo. It'll do you good. You seem a bit too pleased with yourself bearing in mind the biological facts soon to be brought untempered to a school in your neighbourhood.

When you base your arguments on your own assertions you are always right you see. And it doesn't take long when you're always right to persuade yourself that you are a genius. If Mom is encouraging that process it goes faster and sinks in deeper. There's actually millions like you. They say that there is one born every minute and I daresay it's true.

As the Rev. G. Crabbe, LL.B. once said-

"There smiles your Bride, there sprawls your infant son."

Tennyson got all mawkish on such occasions.

@spendius,

I rest my case. There is very little of substance, and much bloviating, in your last post; to the point where I suspect you've started on the ale a little early today. Again.

I completely believe you start each day knowing nothing - finishing it in much the same fashion, insensate, trying to figure out just how things went so wrong.

Oh--I know where things went wrong Cyclo. Garden of Eden.

And I've not even had my thirst attenuating soak yet. For your info.

Listen Cyclo-- go out and have one pint of 3.8%. You'll know what my most drunken state feels like then. I have two but I'm hardened to it.

A pal of mine woke up from a triple by-pass in a very depressed state. After three days of it he asked the quack i/c why he was so low. The guy asked him was he a regular drinker. He told him four pints a night. The quack said that he had had six pints of tee-totallers blood during the op and his alcohol content had sunk to a level at which feeling like that is normal.

Shades of Dean Martin eh?

I don't see all the libs buying GM (Government Motors) stock today, as it dropped about 20%. I thought Obama was a financial genius, so where is the confidence in him as the new CEO of GM?

This is starting to look even worse for Burris...

http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2009-05-26-burris-blagojevich_N.htm

Quote:

CHICAGO (AP) " Sen. Roland Burris promised to "personally do something" for Rod Blagojevich's campaign fund while pressing for the then-Illinois governor to appoint him to President Obama's former Senate seat, according to a wiretap transcript released Tuesday.
"Tell Rod to keep me in mind for that seat, would ya?" Burris tells Robert Blagojevich, who headed his brother's campaign fund, in a Nov. 13 phone conversation secretly taped by the FBI.

The remark came after Robert Blagojevich urged Burris to "keep me in mind and you know if you guys can just write checks that'd be fine, if we can't find a way for you to tie in."

"Okay, okay, well we, we, I, I will personally do something, okay," Burris says.

Earlier in the conversation, Burris and Robert Blagojevich explored the possibility that Burris might raise campaign money on a larger scale.

So how much longer will this guy keep his seat?

Obama has promised to raise taxes on everyone that earns over $250K per year, but the ugly
secret is that this action will result in higher prices and a higher cost of living for the poor.

Change you can believe in Rolling Eyes

@H2O MAN,

More change you can believe in - I guess Obama believes intimidation and thuggery at the polls are okay with him. Perhaps this gives meaning to what Bill Clinton was talking about, Chicago politics being akin to thuggery.

"Charges Against 'New Black Panthers' Dropped by Obama Justice Dept.
Three men were accused of trying to threaten voters and block poll and campaign workers by the threat of force -- one even brandishing what prosecutors call a deadly weapon. "

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/elections/2009/05/29/charges-black-panthers-dropped-obama/

Maybe in a few years, Obama can stay in office if he has enough thugs roaming all the polling places. Is this becoming Venezuela or Cuba?

Yes, Obama's secret deployment of three Panthers at a single Philadelphia polling station was the central cog in his vast scheme to rig the election in his favor. If only McCain had countered with four Klansmen in Kansas City--and let's face it, Palin has more Klan contacts in the closet than goalie pads--he could have prevented the utter asskicking he received on election night.
