Post by: Teatownclown on August 02, 2011, 11:06:38 AM



Perfect. What if?

I love America. But where's the outrage?

Algore said nothing substantive, just his usual platitudes.

I do marvel at how, in the absence of any real leadership from the Democrats or from the left, that the Tea Party has come to "dominate" the discussion, according to Algore.  Just tell the truth Al (I know that's difficult, but try), the Democrats don't have competent leadership right now. 

Either that or perhaps the majority of Americans really believe they are taxed enough already.

So, you do not buy the comments about Media?

Why do you always discount those with differing opinions than yours? How does a country advance with that one sided approach?

Hardly.  I'm probably one of the more centrist people on here.  The only thing I caught about the media from Algore's screed was how Thomas Payne could go down to a printer and for little money get his essays published.  Now with television you can't just go to the local news station and get them to give you air time without money, but the internet has a low entrance fee, oh, and all the corporatists and special interests are controlling the dialogue these days.  He was waxing full philosophical at his Algore best.

Excuse me again, who helped finance all of Algore's various campaigns?  He's still a hypocrite, still dull as ever. 

For the record, I've never seen you accept someone else's differing opinion.  Hi Pot!

Well, you have a short memory then. You must hate the fact that I have no patience for intolerant Americans, fat unhealthy Americans, and uneducated Americans. They are the blood suckers I go after. It's really obvious.


Don't take things personally.

This coming from the guy who sent highly suggestive PM's when you took things very personally.

I don't always agree with Conan but at least he's not spewing hate and distrust on every damned post.

For Christ's sake, you don't even try to wait for someone to respond.  It's waistful.

Not for Christ's sake, ever. I do not spew hate. That's another lie. Lots of distrust, however.

No, that's impatience. Intolerant would be forming networks to fight the blood suckers.

The majority of your posts, even the ones I agree with, are overflowing with anger and hate.

It's actually gotten worse as the right-wing media now regularly unleash smear campaigns and pretend they're calling out the supposedly liberal media; nasty, drive-by smear campaigns built on obvious, provable lies. I'm not assuming this either.

You are slowing up, Guido. Didn't you get today's story that the Veep is receiving rent from the Secret Service on a cabin beside his mansion so they can be housed to protect him.

Heat must be getting to those in bad shape....

Did anyone here know that Biden has had inter-cranial surgery to remove tumors? Apparently he shared that with Giffords.

I got that off of The View. Yes, I did. Someone help me...please....

I knew he survived an aneurysm, no idea about the tumors.

Maybe it was aneurysms. I was so enthralled with the informative, spirited banter.... That blonde is alright, when she stops talking.

I know one other person who had the top of their skull taken off and she was seriously affected personality wise. Didn't stop her from smoking though.
