    The sad fact is that the Democrats have neither spines nor brains, and the GOP has neither hearts nor souls. We are screwed either way. Morons on one side and vampires on the other.

  2. pedro says:

    So both parties are screwed. Where’s the news on this?

    Sorry, I forgot there are plenty a sheeple here that needs to be informed. Trouble is, they won’t get it through their thick skulls.

    Nice try, Uncle Dave. Too bad the effort will be lost.

    #1 Indeed. I’ve said it many times before, the US is royally screwed and it saddens me to no end watch it decay so rapidly.

  3. Ah_Yea says:

    Remember, Massachusetts voted a Republican for governor, and that worked out pretty good.

    So, possibly voting for a centrist Republican who is in touch with the people is better than a Democrat who is an out-of touch elitist.

  4. Phydeau says:

    #3 There is nothing “centrist” about today’s Republican party. It’s the party of torture, of spying without warrants, of starting wars based on bogus information, of tax cuts for the rich, of huge deficits. That’s all pretty radical.

    #1 You nailed it smartalix. The only thing the Republican party has going for it is the gutless Democratic party.

    This election in MA is a prime example. The Republicans threaten filibuster on the healthcare bill, so the Democrats lard it up with sweetheart deals for big corporations to try to win the R’s approval. Then the R’s criticize the D’s for having a bill full of sweetheart deals for big corporations!

    The R’s have no hearts or souls, but they have lots of balls, that’s for sure.

  5. The Aberrant says:

    Yup. Stewart speaks the Gospel truth, what can I say.

  6. Robart says:

    My political analysis: The Republicans want this election to be an indictment of health care reform and Obama (assuming Coakley looses) and the Dems want this to be an indictment of Coakley’s campaigning ineptitude. Stewart is part of the latter.

    Clowns to the left of me jokers to the right…..

    Republicans are playing chess, really?

  8. MikeN says:

    >so the Democrats lard it up with sweetheart deals for big corporations to try to win the R’s approval.

    So that’s why they did it. Then when they didn’t get the R’s approval, why didn’t they take it out? Harry Reid was the last person doing the amendments, putting in precisely what he wanted to get the votes he needed.

  9. LibertyLover says:

    #8, They didn’t do it for the R’s. They did it to get those corporate donations.

    Anyone who says different is trying to justify the offense.

  10. MikeN says:

    SNL mocked Sarah Palin as I can see Russia from my house. Have they done anything with a candidate who defends her foreign policy experience as I have a sister who lives overseas, and she’s been in England and now lives in the Middle East.

    What about misspelling Massachusetts?
    Saying Curt is a Yankees fan?

    What’s that, she’s a Democrat so assumed smart?

  11. Phydeau says:

    #8, #9 True, they did it for the corporate donations. And so the Republicans wouldn’t filibuster.

    I predict that the corporations will pull in the reins on their Republican pets and let this pass. It’s a goldmine for them now anyway. It’ll pass without any Republican votes, so the Republicans will be able to blame the Democrats when it becomes obvious how the American people are getting screwed. And in the next election, they’ll be able to paint the Democrats as being in debt to the special interests (while conveniently forgetting to mention that the R’s are even more). Big win for the big corporate interests and the Republicans. Big loss for the Democrats and the average American.

  12. LibertyLover says:

    #11, If it is so obvious, why are the D’s going ahead with it?

    Surely they see the donations will only get them so far.

  13. Phydeau says:

    #12 Personally, I think it’s about “winning” and “losing” now. The D’s said they were going to push thru a bill, so by god they’re going to do it now, even though it’s nothing like what they originally said they were going to do.

    I am personally hoping that it fails. Having nothing is better than having something that gives away our tax dollars directly to corporate profits.

  14. bac says:

    The democrats seem to be trying their best to rank lower than the current republicans. Republicans are acting like bimbo blondes getting strategic advise from the horoscopes and the democrats are acting like zoned out hippies sniffing glue and quoting Dick & Jane Novels to seem intelligent.

    The founding fathers would probably leave the country or commit suicide if they were a live today.

    One thing for sure, there is no chess playing involved.

  15. LibertyLover says:

    #13, I think I have to agree with you.

    They have making the same mistake the R’s did when Newt took charge — do what the other party does to get the voters.

    It’s going to backfire for them, too.

  16. bob says:

    Phydeaux, I love your posts, really I do. You are something special. Reason-impermeable, with godlike insight into the motivations of others, and (in your mind) opposed by SOULLESS ZOMBIES!

    Wow. That’s really something.

    You are SO brave! Keep those soulless fools at bay! Remember not to go to sleep, I am sure they are waiting outside your window right now, with the blood of innocents dripping down their chins, ready to pounce as soon as your awesome and insightful vigilance flags in the slightest. Or maybe they’re under your bed, or in the closet.

    Better check!

    Good luck!

    I remember something my Grandfather an old Voodoo priest from Haiti used to tell me.
    “When there is no more room left in Hell, The dead will walk the earth….and vote Democrat.”

  18. Rabble Rouser says:

    I can’t think of one Republican who plays chess. Surely Sarah Palin doesn’t.

    This guy running for Teddy’s old seat is a real dirtbag. First he said that Obama is a bastard (in the true sense of the word), then he says it’s okay to rape his rival. I surely hope he loses.

  19. Phydeau says:

    #16 Uh… thanks for sharing Bob. Have you been playing a lot of Left 4 Dead lately? Just wondering. :)

    #15 I don’t know — maybe they’re just more in debt to the big money boys than they want to admit, so they really can’t do anything much different from the Republicans. They have the same bosses.
