- sithmaster, on 09/19/2009, -121/+1090That's pretty much exactly how it went down. They were all prefectly happy to rubber stamp massive spending and constitutional breaches under the white man... but it's a whole other ballgame with the black President.
- novenator, on 09/20/2009, -36/+831The artist hits the nail on the head. The rabid right pushed everything Bush wanted them to, and our country went into the toilet because of it. Now they attack the guy trying to fix it. Putting political gain over the good of the country..hmm, what's the word for that?
- inactive, on 09/20/2009, -16/+466Dugg for accuracy.
And abnormally large eared people. - biotch, on 09/20/2009, -7/+359David read the article before you post it.
From YOUR first source:
"The weapons are thought to be manufactured before 1991 so they would not be proof of an ongoing WMD program in the 1990s."
Offering the official administration response to FOX News, a senior Defense Department official pointed out that the chemical weapons were NOT IN USEABLE CONDITIONS.
"This does not reflect a capacity that was built up after 1991," the official said, adding the munitions "are not the WMDs this country and the rest of the world believed Iraq had, and not the WMDs for which this country went to war."
Also.... Mustard gas!? I made that ***** in my backyard on accident mixing two very very common household chemicals....Tell me ... what developed country DOESNT have mustard gas?
We arent concerned about some random 500 munitions found left over from the Iraqn/Iraq war. We are concerned about ongoing weapons programs that stockpiled
"chemical and biological weapons. [Iraq] is seeking nuclear weapons. We know that the regime has produced thousands of tons of chemical agents, including mustard gas, sarin nerve gas, VX nerve gas."
-Bush
That you think those are THE WMDs the Bush administration threatened us with is ridiculous. Where is the persuit of nuclear arms, yellow cake uranium, where are the THOUSANDS OF TONS of chemical and biological agents?
Many of the Dem quotes you listed are in the context of arguing for sanctions against Saddam NOT invading his country. Congress was misled by the Bush administration cherry picking intel about Iraq and getting rid of dissenters such as the Plame controversy which was clearly hatched directly out of the Bush administration.
The deflection you seem to suggest infers a losing argument comes from this quote out of the health bill Joe Wilson was talking about
(Sec. 246) titled "NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS,"
"Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States."

And signing up for entitlements requires identifying yourself. If you are concerned about ID theft, that is already a crime, can effect our current health care system in the same manner, and is another issue entirely.
We are sort of past citing this over and over again but apparently it had to be done again for those, like yourself, who are taking years to figuring out that the WMDs Bush talked about DIDNT EXIST in Iraq let alone being able to read (within weeks) simple english in a health bill banning illegals from federal funding. - 16x9, on 09/20/2009, -2/+230That "magical viewing box" to which you refer? The rest of us call it "reality."
- hansrodtang, on 09/20/2009, -7/+223Is there some weird kind of link between being President and having humongous ears?
- biotch, on 09/20/2009, -2/+215I think this is more of a party power play... The Dems are for this so the repubs think they HAVE to be against it. They are trying to use this flasehood to gain steam for the next election.
- iansh, on 09/20/2009, -2/+178Corruption?
- Rapter09, on 09/20/2009, -8/+178As much as I'm sure race could be involved for a few senators here and there, let's not make race the issue here. These guys aren't being this stupid because they're racist. They're being this stupid because they're this stupid. Don't give them excuses they don't need.
- RiperSnifle, on 09/20/2009, -10/+173Republicans: "Obama lies all the time"
Democrats: "About what? Show your proof"
Reps: "..................Obama lies!" - ECas123, on 09/20/2009, -2/+154Democrats: "But what does he lie about?"
Reps: "But what does he lie about?"
Democrats: "What?"
Reps: "What?"
Democrats: "You're playing this silly game?"
Reps: "You're playing this silly game?"
Democrats: "Republicans are stupid"
Reps: "Republicans are stu...YOU LIE" - digitalArtform, on 09/20/2009, -7/+153You mean Obama's ears aren't that big?
- Maddoktor2, on 09/20/2009, -10/+136Yep, pretty much sums it up.
- inactive, on 09/20/2009, -7/+125It's not about which facts are true and false. It's about when he decides to play the "You Lie" card.
- papashawn, on 09/20/2009, -6/+115BAGELS
- vlmusicalsound, on 09/20/2009, -2/+110Republicans: "Obama lies!"
Democrats: "Okay. Can you prove that he's lying?"
Republicans: "......"
Democrats: "......"
Republicans: "YOU CAN'T PROVE THAT HE'S NOT LYING!"
Democrats: "wtf?" - integrity, on 09/20/2009, -3/+108When everything BUSH caused is fixed, then we can start blaming Obama for anything he breaks...
- Ghostalker, on 09/20/2009, -0/+88Treason
- KnowMad1982, on 09/20/2009, -10/+95YO 'MITCH88'!!! SHUT THE HELL UP!!!
WE ALL FREAKIN GET IT BRO, YOU HAVE A MAJOR ***** HARDON FOR BUSH! PUT THE METH PIPE DOWN AND GO GET SOME FRESH AIR! - TheBlargh, on 09/20/2009, -4/+88damn you got owned. now david wont reply anymore. pussy.
- brad3378, on 09/20/2009, -3/+85If Obama fixes the economy, the Republican party is doomed. The Republicans know this and that is why they are spreading fear as if they are fighting for their own survival.
- metalhead3767, on 09/20/2009, -11/+90Ya be a stupid Harvard liberal with all ya facts and infermachion. Bush was a hero and he saved this country on 9/11. The last thing I wanted my inbreed children to see was a negro president. We need to TAKE BACK THIS COUNTRY.
- rocknog, on 09/20/2009, -8/+86What really amazes me is people get so passionate over the health care debate, but no one had this kind of passion about ***** war!? How ***** up are our priorities? Yeah, I know, there were protests and whatnot, but really, opposition just seemed very limited, at least in comparison to what's going on right now with health care. And I mean now, after it became kind of clear that this election wasn't going to change anything, seems like the anti-war movement just kind of died altogether.
- BikeRidinMan, on 09/20/2009, -2/+74I think he means the Fox magical viewing box.
- inactive, on 09/20/2009, -4/+74oh look david niven is a moronic tool.
- dankenstein, on 09/20/2009, -0/+68"Worse than traitors in arms are the men who pretend loyalty to the flag, feast and fatten on the misfortunes of the Nation while patriotic blood is crimsoning the plains..."
- 312139, on 09/20/2009, -6/+73Thanks Biotch. What was that you were saying David?
- siyengar, on 09/20/2009, -2/+66The glory which is built upon a lie soon becomes a most unpleasant incumbrance. How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again!
- Mark Twain in Eruption - DLun203, on 09/20/2009, -12/+76People are stupid. I'll leave it at that.
(Google "Glenn Beck" for examples) - CaptOblivious, on 09/20/2009, -3/+64Try the FACT that bush LIED many MANY times, that we have PROOF of, many more than just those three incidents that we DO have ABSOLUTE PROOF that he was lying and the rest of the republicans did not make a public scene of ANY of those lies.
However,
A Black Democratic president PROVABLY telling the truth in an address of a joint session of congress is enough to rile this particular redneck up enough to break all convention, disrespect the entire executive branch and get himself censured because his and his party's beliefs are more important to him than reading the proposed bill and knowing the truth.
Does that make the point of the cartoon clear to you?
And before you start defending the little racist redneck,
This is the bill's exact language regarding illegals.
"Nothing in this subtitle shall allow federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully in the United States." - psylemon, on 09/20/2009, -2/+61IMMA LET YOU FINISH, BUT MITCH88 HAD ONE OF THE MOST ANNOYING COMMENTS OF ALL TIME. OF ALL TIME
- Weezergames, on 09/20/2009, -6/+54Yo JRM125 you just made a comment on digg.com and im happy for ya and imma let you finish but i just wanted to say you need to turn the caps lock off.
- inactive, on 09/20/2009, -0/+45but some lie about things that really shouldnt be lied about like start ***** wars.
- TCBevolver, on 09/20/2009, -1/+45Hurricane victims, not so much.
- gutistg, on 09/20/2009, -2/+46When pertinent, yes. But I refuse to allow someone to senselessly bring up the faults of one party to mitigate and deflect the arguments against another. It's just not logical.
Partisan or not, the criticisms are valid. - Feraldr00d, on 09/20/2009, -0/+42When competition is dying and the consumer is suffering for it, I have trouble arguing against the gov't inciting competition.
- digitalArtform, on 09/20/2009, -2/+44When I was a kid I got free medical care in England, and I was just a tourist there for two weeks.
- franklymister, on 09/20/2009, -5/+47Stupid and racist aren't mutually exclusive.
You don't have to be a Klansman to be a racist. It's a lot harder to see the effects of racism when you're not on the receiving end, and it's easier to pretend it's not there at all. - V1ruk, on 09/20/2009, -27/+68YOU LIE!
DON'T LISTEN TO HIM, HE'S A LIEING *****! AND HE'S ON CRACK, AND WILL BREAK INTO YOUR HOUSE AND RAPE YOUR WIFE!
And he seems to be the smartest President in a long while, with probably the best chances of sewing your ***** up country back together. - Sil369, on 09/20/2009, -2/+39"the Republican party is doomed."
tough *****. suck it *****. - fuzzynyanko, on 09/20/2009, -7/+42Objection!
- appleofdischord, on 09/20/2009, -2/+36Republicans: What's in these waffles?
Democrats: There's waffles in them!
Republicans: YOU LIE! - 47f0, on 09/20/2009, -0/+34Hmmm - because if we do all kinds of citizenship checks, we can keep illegal immigrants locked into using the E.R. as primary care - which is the dumbest, least efficient, most expensive way to do things.
Let's get a little pragmatic here - somebody pays when in illegal immigrant ignores T.B. symptoms and keeps spreading it. Somebody pays when their kids are spreading staph and strep in our schools. And somebody pays when they finally have to go to the E.R. - But hey, as long as we've hidden the cost by satisfying the anti-immigrant crowd, I guess it's a hidden stupidity tax we'll all keep paying. - Kosuda14, on 09/20/2009, -0/+34Need big ears to listen to the people don't they?
- franklymister, on 09/20/2009, -1/+33I think you're mixing up your timelines a bit there.
- KeithA45, on 09/20/2009, -3/+35With all due respect Fox news is *extremely* conservative and I don't consider it a safe resource of information to be used by itself. I don't quote the Daily Show when I try to prove something, and you shouldn't quote FOX alone
- LoneRiver, on 09/20/2009, -2/+33Intelligent people debate the things they disagree with, not-so-intelligent people yell and make noise. Don't misconstrue the different methods as having different amounts of passion.
- TCBevolver, on 09/20/2009, -3/+33Don't talk to yourself. We can all hear you!
- Zippo, on 09/20/2009, -1/+30It really doesn't have anything to do with his race. The fact that he's a Democrat is enough for them them to lose their *****.
- belthize, on 09/20/2009, -2/+30The public option will come with a card just like any other insurance option. You won't be able to just waltz in and claim you're on the public option. You can't get the card if you're here illegally.
You can steal one, you can fake one, you can even dupe the government into giving you one but you can't obtain one legally.
I could counterfeit my Cigna card for about 30 cents and 20 minutes time. I'm willing to bet it will be much easier to fake a private insurer card than the eventual public one because folks will insist it have standard counterfeit barriers.
I just don't want to see this as a method for getting a National ID system in place. I don't want to have to show ID every where I go just so to keep somebody from getting something they don't deserve. -
