TL has it right. No non-Bluedog Damnocrat is going to all of a sudden vote with the Repugnantcans. That Damnocrat will piss and moan about how BHO isn't getting enough done, but won't swing all the way to the Right. I say we just let the Right stop unemployment benefits, so those folks will be able to vote on that November Tuesday.

Duh.

Edit:

It's not an issue of the politician that offends me, it is the condescending and outright dickish attitude that is assumed upon anyone who voted for said politician. It's not witty, clever or funny. It's just people being asses.

Maybe some of the people that are losing faith read this? It's not a tax, it's not a tax, except, it is a tax, at least it is a tax when they have to defend it in court.

Yep. Saw that the other day. It isn't really surprising because the only way to fund a national healthcare plan is through higher taxes. There is NO such thing as "free healthcare"; you either pay for your own insurance and healthcare or you pay taxes to the government for their healthcare and/or insurance.

Of course, this will present a quandry for those 40 million who cannot afford insurance of their own, since they still won't be able to afford insurance when the national plan is in place, so now instead of just being too poor to buy healthcare, they will be charged a fine for being too poor to buy healthcare.

There was plenty of stuff as bad (and far worse) than this about Bush/Cheney and, even now, many still take a condescending attitude towards those that voted that way.

If you are offended by the attitude, then I imagine your outrage would be the same when these types of things were (and still are) said about Bush or any other politician.

Call me crazy, but isn't that tool a bit of a marketing fail? Like, wouldn't it be more profitable to market it toward the people who voted for McCain? Since of course anyone who voted for him would obviously want to remove the bumper stickers when he lost to Obama. They could've had thousands of buyers on the day it was announced, all ready to clean their cars of any evidence. Just saying.

I voted for Mr. Obama. I still like Mr. Obama.
If he calls and asks I will tell him some things
he should do differently. If they elect me King,
I will do things differently. But I still support
Mr. Obama because he is doing about as well
as can be done. He is trying.

Now, having said that I am not an Obama hater,
I want to say that the video was funny. Not
offensive at all. If you want to post a similar
video demonstrating your "Paul Stevens Forum Post
Removal Tool", I will find that funny, too.

The politicians are much more offensive when
talking about each other. Probably because I
expect a bit of civility from a 'Senator'.

Very good points. And you did not take the clip seriously. That seems to be the problem today, many bashed W., but cry foul when anything is mentioned about the current POTUS. I say he deserves the same respect as any other, regardless of personal feelings, he is still a politician, and fun will be had, at his expense.

I just can't figure out why somebody would: 1. Spend money for a automobile. 2. Spend money on a bumper sticker. 3. Place said BS on said auto!
