ECSTATIC!!!!

Great stuff InHouston. Great minds think alike!
I am also an independent that voted Republican based largely on the tax issues, except for Texas Governor which I voted for KINKY!

Lets see what these liberals say four years from now when there paychecks are several thousand dollars lighter and they are praying to Mohammed. Oh wait, most are on welfare anyway and they will absolutely love it!

Regarding some posters, learn how to spell "political" if you want to be taken seriously in a political debate! LOL

I agree with what you're saying about more honest and liberal matters - take that out of politics and leave it to the policies (with the exceptions of people who are anti-gay being found to be gay, etc) but the above quote is what makes the US look so batshit to the rest of the Western world.

Don't tax the shit out of you? So you have no social healthcare of welfare - the root of people many getting poorer and in strife through one or two misfortunes. The statistic of people going bankrupt because of one major medical bill is huge and then they can't ever recover.

Don't take the guns away? Why do you need them? A few hunting guns is one thing but semi-auto guns available readily? For what? (Yeah yeah, I know some bullshit about a piece of paper that's a couple of hundred years old, about needing self-protection, blah, blah - don't want to get into a gun debate but the amount of guns easily available doesn't help anyone).

Don't preach to me? No arguments there - so let's take away their (churches) tax benefits and use the money to create a better social welfare - doing what Jesus would have done!

Some other country fucks ? - Iraq didn't fuck with you? If the US was genuinely attacked or under threat it's one thing but going after countries as the worlds so-called peacekeepers (money-makers) isn't working. You're creating more people wanting to attack.

The US has less freedoms than most other Western countries and losing them by the day.

You know, they could increase welfare and other benefits to our citizens without raising taxes as it is, if they just wouldn’t waste the revenue the way they do. That sounds simplistic, but it’s true.

Why do I need guns? Well in this country you have people walking around with their pants hanging off their ass who don’t respect their elders, or their fellow citizens at large for that matter. And that’s white people, black, brown, and the like. Home invasions in this city are fairly common, and the perpetrators are not nice in how they go about it. And once a group of Latin gang members corralled my truck to the side of the road in an attempt to pull me over and rob or car jack me. My Glock pistol in their face quickly diffused that situation, and my girlfriend and I returned safely home that night. Crime is bad here.

True Iraq didn’t fuck with us. 911 spun our leaders (and not just Bush) into a paranoid frenzy for a war that turned out to be unnecessary in the end. Before 911, you Bush was quoted as saying “We’re not interested in regime change in Iraq.” Well, can’t turn back now that we’ve done it. However, I think there are enough good people in Iraq to warrant us staying and trying to stabilize the country, although the infighting between the Sunni and Shia are a good part of the blame for the mess there right now. We started the mess, so we have to finish it. Personally, if Saddam was such a threat, we could have just bombed his entire military infrastructure, leaving some weapons for their own defense, and that would have solved that problem. We could have done that without putting troops on the ground.

I’ve never lived in, nor (yet) had the opportunity to visit, a European country, so can’t say that I fully understand the freedoms enjoyed therein. Would love to visit Venice and see where great composers lived and performed. Beethoven and Brahms are my personal favorites. I would love to walk the back streets of France and England and just take in all the lush history.

As far as what caused the election to turn the way it did, I feel the war had a lot to do with it. The scandals only compounded the problem turning more voters over to the dems. However, if the war in Iraq was over, or near over, I don’t think the dems would have done as well. The American people are simply growing impatient, which in my opinion is good. Rumsfeld and Bush are conducting the war in a very patient and methodical style, but it’s too slow for the public and a bit slow for me too. Personally, I think they should handle Iraq like we did Berlin. All known and captured insurgents are lined up and shot. That quickly stopped the insurgency problems in WWII, and the French (for example) are still free to speak French instead of German.

The election is like a company bringing in a new management team to shake things up and get projects moving again. However, and I caution, once that happens it can go either way. There could be significant progress made, but in my experience I’ve usually just seen things come to a grinding halt and all attempts at progress die in committees. The balance of power has now shifted largely to the middle. Now everything has to be done by committee, and I feel that were going to spend the next two years watching our leaders debate and study issues incessantly instead of just getting the job done. But, that’s democracy in action. Regardless … America rocks! We’ve been here for over 200 years, and endured through times when we didn’t even necessarily understand how to govern ourselves. We’ll be fine.

By the way Seanchai, I resusbscribed to ShemaleYum again after being off for a couple of years. Your updates on this forum sold me in the end. Not sucking up. Just giving you Kudos where it's warranted. The repository of images and videos you've amassed over the years is quite impressive.

Glad to see my presence here is doing me some good :wink:

2007 is going to be mammoth for us. Site will be 10yrs old so we have all the celebrations to go with that as well as a complete redesign which should be extremely user friendly, themed updates and more content. I'm excited about getting to work on it - if I can just get out of the paperwork I'm buried under now.

Democrats are the lesser of two evils... slightly better.
But as far as I'm concerned the US has only one party with two opposing fractions. History repeats itself... Try defacto hidden dictatorship since the rule of George H W Bush... ;) (ok, I'm feeling a little bit conspiratorial today...;))

But congratulations! Hope you can clean up the economy. The American people shouldn't pay for the neoconservative's/ G8's neo-imperalism abroad...

It feels so good to watch these right wing fucks, ruining this country, falling off their high horses!


Thank GOD for progressive thinking, social forwardness, and hope that we can lead our way out of the social dark ages the right wing if this country wanted to take us to.

ALLNAH VERY VERY HAPPY

Considering all the doom and glooming the left has done and in light of 12 years of CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN DOMINATION, this so called victory femocrats are claiming is nothing more than symbolic dick stroking.

Let's not forget. In last 12 years we've seen

Liberal democrats LOSE control over both houses

Clinton was indicted and impeached

We've installed 2 conservative (replacing OConnor thank the Lord). supreme court justices

We've got 8 years of George W Bush.

We've impeached and removed Saddam Hussein.

Overthrown the Taliban

Restored federal funding for faith based initiatives.

Advanced the anti-abortion movement and soon to be revisited by the Supreme Court

The Bush Adminstration has corrected failed diplomatic efforts and fake treaties with North Korean tyrants

We've overcome an early term recession.

4.4% unemployment


Sure the dhimmicrats may claim some success in their latest psychological warfares of doom and gloom against the America psych, but the pendulum swings both ways. You've claimed a small, negligible majority but as soon as Fems take off the masks and the liberal socialist agenda shows it's head, you'll pray for Ken Starr to put you out of your misery.

My political soul brother, EdelweissFan. Great postings, sir.

The fact is America does not want Liberalism. You will not see Democrats pushing some great big liberal agenda. What made Clinton such a success was that he was a moerate. Shit, I remember listening to Limbaugh damn near fumingthe first years of Clinton for the number of conservative ideas that Clinton claimed as his own.

Far left wing nuts are as bad as far right wing nuts. Money and power hungry people of any ilk will bring about bad changes and choices for the country.

The fact is republicans that have been in power have tried to have it both ways times ten. They want to fight a war we didn't need to fight with a low number of troops and seriously fucked up planning. They spend spend and spend some more and still fight to give the rich tax cuts. They make is profitable for companies to send jobs overseas and worry about how the economies of other nations are rising above ours. They preach no child left behind but don't fund the program. They get in bed with the drug companies and oil companies and have both industires write our prescription drug programs and energy policy.

One of the biggest problems is that people don't hold thier politicians to the fire. Conservatives lead the cheers for republicans as long as they didn't raise taxes and gave lip service to patriotism and so called values issues. democrats will fuck up almost as bad if thier supporters don't keep them in check.

Tfan,
Despite your other ridiculous assertions which I disagree with, I'm curious about these two:

Restored federal funding for faith based initiatives.

Advanced the anti-abortion movement and soon to be revisited by the Supreme Court

Do you really think these are advancements and good for the country and the people? On what basis?
