As did Orwell in "1984", Patrick feels free to define words to suit himself. Black is White; up is down; good is evil; right is wrong; truth is falsehood.
"... to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which canceled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the (Republican) Party is the guardian of democracy"-Orwell or Patrick? Hard to tell the difference.

The writer says, and I quote directly "... only people ... would benefit from rushing this legislation through without debate ...".

Yeah, yeah, I know ...

But this nonsense about "rushing" health care reform is just as bogus. Republicans have been successful in preventing reform or even serious discussion for decades. The result is the untenable, horrific situation we have today. Democrats are this nation's last, great hope. Today's republicans care not a whit about the people, and work ceaselessly toward a single end ... "Obama must fail", no matter the consequences to the nation.

I watched the Presidential debates last year. If you missed them, let me remind you that McCain promised he would "get Osama Bin Laden".

Not just talk. No weasel worded qualifications, no paring of language and no "maybe's". Just straight talk. McCain claimed that he positively knows how to get him and knows exactly what to do and precisely how to do it. John McCain would never have made such a clear, positive statement if it weren't true.

McCain is a Patriot, a war hero, so despite losing the election, I'm certain he has shared that knowledge with the Commander in Chief of our armed forces.

I believe that's why Obama has taken time to announce his Afghan strategy. He's been planning how, using McCain's inside information, to kill or capture Bin Laden with least loss of life.

Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld let Bin Laden run free according to today's news.

Damn!! I just got a phone call reprimanding me for divulging our strategy. I'm in trouble now.

Shhhh. Here's a secret. It's Democrats who are buying Palin's book, contributing to her campaign and working hard to keep her in the limelight.
We've added Huckabee to our support list. He was definitely off before because we realized that despite his professed belief in Creationism (we knew he was merely pandering to the Wingnuts), he was feared as a viable opponent. As of yesterday, we have begun supporting him.
Palin/Huckabee in 2012 is our dream ticket.
The best of all worlds would be if the GOP movers and shakers, realizing what a catastrostroke (sic) that would be, decided to go with Romney/Paul, thereby infuriating Sarah so much that she enters as an Independent. "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."

Larry; What do mean "... down to their level"?
As low as their level is, yours is so much lower you have to reach up to touch bottom.

Actually I spend most of my time here lately countering the spinning from ksand99.
Call me whatever you like, just don't call me late for dinner, and please don't call me a Liberal...

Ksand99 has presented nothing but spin.
Larry made no excuses.
Larry does not have an issue with Palin.
Larry is only countering the spinning that Ksand99 continuously posts on this discussion.
Ksand99 is a Palin hater.
Larry = :)

These guys just don't give up...
Don't they realize that Larry doesn't give a crap about their spin?
They must be in love/impressed with themselves.
Larry doesn't care what they have to say.
Larry doesn't even care if they don't wear underwear...

I am sure that you two bird dogs will be elated to hear that GOING ROGUE, by Sarah Palin is number one (1) on the New York Times best seller list.
The more you left wing Liberal bird-dogs keep up the rhetoric against Sarah Palin the more books she sales... (I bet you can even put a spin on this)
Actually, it would do you guys good to read her book and just maybe gain some humility.

I hope Gordon does not ever have any children or grandchildren born out of wedlock. He would probably disown them and have them burned at the stake.
I just love these compassionate guys on the left who think they are elitist and preach their political hate to the rest of us.

The End
