[Despondent]

Well, I used to be a huge fan, but then the peer pressure fell on me to stop defending the lack of quality in hours of programming that I don't pay a penny for.

No, Seriously, it went by me too. A clue, perhaps? You've just made a powerful enemy, my friend. I know that one.

For those of you who did not get it, I was quoting a fox news broadcaster in the episode where Krusty becomes a congressmen.

[Otal Nimrodi]

Ah. I see, said the blind man.

[Snake Logan]

I found a transcript.

In a TV debate between the two candidates, the reporter notes: "Welcome to Fox News, your voice for evil. Tonight we'll be interviewing the top two candidates for Springfield's 24th congressional district. For the Republicans, beloved children's entertainer, Krusty the Clown. And for the Democrats, this guy.
Armstrong: "I have a name."
Reporter: "Yes, I'm sure you do comrade. I do appreciate you're being here, you're usually so mired in sleaze, it must be an effort to come down to the studio."
Krusty: "May I say something?"
Reporter: "Certainly, Congressman."
Armstrong: "He hasn't won yet."
Reporter: "You make a very adulterous point. We will now conclude this debate with a Krusty campaign commercial."
While the debate was airing, the following ran on the news ticker: "Pointless news crawls up at 37 percent. ... Do Democrats cause cancer? Find out at Foxnews.com. ... Rupert Murdoch: Terrific Dancer. ... Dow down 5000 points. ... Study: 92 percent of Democrats are gay. ... JFK posthumously joins Republican Party. ... Oil slicks found to keep seals young, supple. ... Dan Quayle: Awesome."

[Despondent]

Ah affirmation. I've not yet seen last weeks eppy, so I don't feel bad for not recognizing the dialogue. But I'm sure the episode sucked because that's the party line this century.

Also, adulterous is a bit removed from "adulteress," though I must say I find your phonetic errors charming, in a one-legged puppy sort of way.

Yes. I did mean adulterous. Curse my lack of going back and checking my spelling on all things mundane!

I wasnt sure what Despondent meant abotu Hilary at first. I dont like her but I didnt really hate her til this:

"Then came what may well be the only moment in this campaign when Hillary Clinton publicly displayed the vulnerability and frustration those around her have talked about in recent weeks, as her once formidable campaign struggles to regain the momentum lost to Barack Obama. "Some people think elections are a game: who's up or who's down," Clinton said, her voice breaking and tears welling. "It's about our country. It's about our kids' future. It's about all of us together. Some of us put ourselves out there and do this against some difficult odds."

As the 16 undecided voters—14 of them women—nodded sympathetically, some with their own eyes watering, Clinton went on. "We do it, each one of us, against difficult odds. We do it because we care about our country. Some of us are right, and some of us are not. Some of us are ready, and some of us are not." Although still emotional, Clinton was hitting the points in her post-Iowa stump speech. Obama's name was unspoken but obvious. "Some of us know what we will do on day one, and some of us haven't thought that through.""

Jaysus she finally shows she's a human being, but in the same breath as she lets us see her softer side, she decides to cut down Barack Obama.

"Sniffle sniffle... im so sincere about loving my country and shit... oh and by the way, barack obama isnt ready to be president, and he's wrong about stuff, and he has no idea what he'll do if he wins"

Doesn't know what he'll do if he wins? I can see saying he doesnt have the experience you have. He's never fucked anyone who is president. But to say he hasnt thought through what he'll do when elected? Bullshit. I think even Dennis Kucinich or Ron Paul have an idea of what they'd do. And Obama is now, despite your little jabs, the front runner for the nom. I think he has more ideas than just "I wanna sit in the chair hur hur". Hilary, you fucking fat whore.

That's not the only time she cut him down, either. And I do not commend her for showing that emotion. It was obviously a ploy to win over voters - or if it wasn't, she needs to grow some freakin' balls (um, figure of speech - what I mean is, quit being a whiny baby). There are times when to show a softer, emotional side might be okay, maybe even good, but that wasn't one of them.

[Despondent]

Just torn because she doesn't get her way, how I interpreted it. How dare you libs not support her. It's her TURN, dammit!

[Spoon Poetic]

I'm not a liberal.

I'm a fence-sitter, as any respectful conservative or liberal would tell you. (I'm a moderate - or more accurately, liberal on some issues, conservative on others, compromising on most. Which means I hate all the candidates! )

[Despondent]

Didn't intend to impugn, Spoon.



I'm not nuts about anyone, personally. Huckabee is attractive, but I'm not sold 100%.

But I couldn't define myself as a Moderate. To me, a Moderate is a Democrat in sheep's clothing.

[Slade]

And you know how vicious those Democrats are, always letting Republican administration go through (even in spite of the present tyrannical administration's near daily assault on integrity, liberty, and the American system of government in general), and being totally wishywashy and transparent in obviously only wanting votes. Really, Democrats are slugs in sheep's clothing. Moderates are just people who can understand both sides of the issue without being polarized, and pick from both sides in their issues.

And I guess props should go to the Republicans for at least being consistent in their support of the wealthy at the expense of the rest of the entire world. At least they're honest about being greedy, crooked, and (in some cases) bigoted. The blues like to pretend they're different.

And now I've been terribly consistent. I'm only calling the people in government slimy, not individual voters or demographics.

I heard that pathetic Clinton bit on the radio this morning. I wanted to punch the idiot woman in the face. What teensy weensy bit of respect I had for her is out the window. She's either a crybaby or is faking every moment of it to garner the emotion vote (maybe she's trying to take some of the soccer mom vote Obama was looking for when he went on Oprah back?). Either way, she's too slimy to be president, though perfect for today's politics, I suppose. But then again, since she's so transparent, only the idiots will not catch on, so maybe she's not being subtle enough for today's politics. And I didn't even get to the part where instead of stating her own views she cut down Obama whilst on the virge of faux-tears.

[Spoon Poetic]

Can't believe I used to be excited about getting to vote this year.

[Despondent]

And now I've been terribly consistent. I'm only calling the people in government slimy, not individual voters or demographics.

And I appreciate that.


The Conservatives get a lot of flak for "representing the upper class". Personally, I've always found the argument that one can better themselves without the government's assistance more appealing.

Goes against the grain, but I like Huckabee's "vote for the guy you work next to, not the guy that laid you off" line.
