Or do you just like flapping your gums about winners and losers and making fun of people to bolster your own poor self esteem? I haven't seen political 'discussions' like this since I taught middle school.

... because as you can see, this forum has been virtually hijacked by obstreperous bloviating gasbags echoing the style and sentiment of the extreme far right wing.  
In between ***'s vulgar hatred and ****'s buffoonish stupidity, there's little point left to it.

All you need to do is read the recent threads to see just how low a road this forum has taken. I for one am no longer interested in validating such utter loathsomeness.

Perhaps when the election is over and the shills of this forum who do nothing but plant their shrill hatreds have moved on to the next battlefield we might see some dialog again.

But don't expect much out of me anymore. Just some occasionally appropriate lyrics and the rare F&L rant.

Really. It's become far too ugly in here for my taste.

if YOU, wormwood, want to discuss issue of public policy and YOU want to do so in a sane, rational manner, then do it. No one is stopping you.

If you want to take gratutious swipes at other members like Doc Gonzo does and act as if you are somehow so above it all while indeed being a highbrow, sactamonious, self righeous, FUCKING HYPOCRITE, then you can do that too.

Just expect to draw fire.

Me, I stopped trying a long time ago.

Good luck.

I'm more worried about my FUCKING SURVIVAL!!!

Just LOOK at the issues these MORONS (and Mormon-morons)think are relevant, each one right on down to the most "conservative" one of the bunch has a no-fail plan to bankrupt America within 3 years! Policy? Fuck policy! We need a damn liferaft to float away from this sinking ship!

we'll save your pathetic, undeserving ass.

"virtually hijacked by obstreperous bloviating gasbags echoing the style and sentiment of the extreme far right wing".


 The above by Doc is the typical hypocritical bunk  far right wingers like me have to deal with..And the morons expect us just to take it and not dish any back???I remember one of my 7th grade teachers spewing his liberal mantra and dreading 5 more years of school..Sure glad I quit.. The brainwashing never works if you don't attend the classes or take the acid..

Dish back?  The right wing does far more than that.  You Neocoms borrow your political tactics liberally (sorry about that L word) from the old Sixties radicals whose idea of political discourse was too loudly shout down and make fun of their opponents as 'uncool' and 'no fun'.  Sound familiar?  And then you hope that your other mantras -  'tax & spend Dems', 'radical liberals', etc - will be sufficient to shut up any sensible debate about the issues.
There, my one post on this board for the year.

Or maybe it just didn't leave enough impression for him to suppress his views..You have to remember us right wingers aren't able to be  bought out by trinkets..

FORTUNATELY, I took matters into myown hands years ago, knowing full well people like you couldn't even save yourselves... Please DON'T offer to help, I don't need to be further encumbered with your dead-weight...

Now get back down with the other Sodomites in cell block B.  

"An ass is a terrible thing to waste"...

BK, wormwood's ability to discuss isues of public policy on this board, in a sane and rational manner, depends upon the willingness and the ability of the rest of us to respond in kind.

unless wormwood adopts a few aliases and responds to his own posts, as a few others have been suspected of doing, he's out of luck.  here.

remember the BenDover policy? -- personal insults are A-OK but first you have to attempt a substantive response to some part of the original post.

would that satisfy both the rationals and the irrational here?

wormmwood, hang in there

it's like rubbernecking as you drive by the scene of an  crash.  it's awful and gory and tragic, but you still can't resist, for whatever reason.

the one small problem I had with wormfood was that even in his inital post he was spiced it with a bit of snark and condesencion. RWU picked right up on it and he so much as admitted to it later so I'm not sniffing glue on this one...,,

that said, I'm still willing to let the guy go in peace so long as he drops his constant references to "rightwingers" in a pegorative context.

not that I want to be an apologist for the pat robertson's of this world. but he uses it in such a broad brush fashion I know he's not just refering to that ilk. And you know me better than to think I'm gonna sit still whilst someone be sliggin' shit in my direction.

So my bottomline is this. If wormfood wants to stay above it, he can. It's up to him.
