Nah, it's just funny to twist the socialist knife into AU by way of that dirtbag is all.

They pit us like dogs against each other and rake it in. And I'll bet they laugh when they hear dupes like you defend the system that fucks you over and rewards them so nicely! But the one thing they'll stamp out in horror as if it were the spark of conflagration is any whiff of socialism. That should tell you something.

Yup, and those on the right seem all too quick to forget that the knife cuts both ways. Those who INSIST that they care not one whit what "the lefty libs" think sure do spend an inordinate amount of time trying to change the minds of those same liberals, or at the very least trying to point out how very wrong they think those liberals are.

So fucking what ? He can't pass any laws, he can't sentence anyone. He has no POWER to do anything. Why's it such an issue w/ you ?





He may have "no POWER", but he's got influence, especially over people like YOU. Influence is its own kind of power.

And ya know, President Obama can't pass any laws or sentence anyone either, so what's your problem with HIM?

Mike



Yeah, Rush has LOTS of influence over folks like me. That's why I happen to think drugs should be decriminalized, at the very least. Rush may be against drug abuse, and use drugs. I'm for legalization, and don't even use them. Go figure.

Obama can SIGN legislation into law, which is what is so dangerous, and why every President should be watched.

You need to refer to HERO whether or not guys take Viagra want to take it?

You DO understand what Viagra is used for, yes?

I think Chris is relying on our resident liar - er, I mean "LAWYER" - for a clarification on the intent of the user. Is he wont to use Viagra just for kicks, or does he want to use it because he NEEDS it?

We have to know the intent to see if there was a crime.

As for the whole "downfall of the right" idea... I just don't see it happening. The neo-conservative clique may be out of power for the moment, but they'll do what their kind have always done: adapt and come back. They'll morph into the next version of a modern "conservative" - whether that be hardcore evangelicals, hard-right neo-nazis, or some freaky amalgam of the two, or something more like Goldwater or Reagan.

Whatever it is, they'll be back, and I won't be surprised to see 'em.

Not if me and mine got any say in the matter, Mikey.

And being that we've been planning it for twenty friggin years, we WILL have that say.
