How do you spell Democrat? H.Y.P.O.C.R.I.T.E.

from JoeUser Forums

On May 21st, 2008, Senator Dianne Feinstein {D.CA.}, A Multi Millionaire, who was recently accused of benefiting from her position in the Senate, Reprimanded the top executives of the five largest oil companies : "you rack up record profits... quarter after quarter":also Senator Pat Leahy {D. VT} also a multi Millionaire upbraided the same executives by saying: "The people we {the Senate} represent are hurting and the companies you represent are profiting"

Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz {D. FL} Charged: " I can't say that there is any evidence that you {the oil companies} are manipulating prices, but you probably are!": Senator Dick Durbin {D, IL} Demanded: "Is there anybody here that has any concerns about what you {the oil companies} are doing to this country with the prices you are charging and the profits you are taking"?

These politicians, collectively, were sanctimoniously lecturing oil company executives, who would not know an oil derrick if one bit them on the ass. Not one of these politicians have the slightest clue on how to produce energy!

Another politician Nambla Nancy Pelosi {D.CA} the speaker of the House Declared "Democrats have a common sense plan to bring down sky rocketing gas prices while she was campaigning for re-election, since then gas prices have risen more than 70%.

Some say that oil companies pay almost no taxes. Is this true? HA! here are a couple facts. According to the  Bureau of Economic Analysis and the U.S. Dept. of Energy: over the past  25 years the oil companies have paid more than 2.2 TRILLION in taxes to federal and state governments, not including local property taxes, State sales taxes and severance taxes, A total of THREE TIMES their profit during the same period.

On the average 15% of the cost of gas at the pump goes to taxes, while 4% goes to profit to the oil companies.

So while we are all hurting from "pain at the pump"  and the Democrats are trying to shift the blame to the oil companies remember it's the government that reaps the biggest reward from our pain!

Yes, you're a conservative who pretends to be an independent (still no problem with all the attacks on Democrats, but you go right after an attack on Republicans) as evidenced by this thread and this exchange in particular. (Ignore that sentence -- call me a mindless sheep or something.) There's another post calling Nancy Pelosi a liar and a queen bee -- is that evidence of "typical party politics thinking"? Seems like it, but you seem cool with that...hmmmm. Seems almost, I don't know, hypocritical.(Don't address that, just call me a moron.) And you're all about independent thinking, but if someone has a different view from you then they're a moron? (Go on about my little mind a little more -- I'll forget that you have no answers for this.)

Gladly.

There's another post calling Nancy Pelosi a liar and a queen bee -- is that evidence of "typical party politics thinking"?


Yep, except for the fact that the article is factual. Hurt your feelings that one of your party heroes is full of shit?

just call me a moron

Ok, I don't have a problem with that based upon your posts to date.

And you're all about independent thinking, but if someone has a different view from you then they're a moron?


This is where you demonstrate your own stupidity. I have demonstrated on many threads that I respect differing opinions. I just don't respect stupidity, especially political stupidity.

Go on about my little mind a little more


I would but you seem to have done such a good job of it I just don't feel the need.

No, but I find it amusing how full of shit you are. Your litmus test for "typical party politics thinking" is whether or not the argument in question is factual. You just said as much. The thing that started this whole exchange is when you called me out for being partisan because of this quote:

the Republicans did have a Republican oil man in the White House when they had a majority -- sort of the equivalent of the Dems having Al Gore as prez and both houses. I'd say that was quite a little advantage they did nothing with. They also had SIX years with that advantage, invaded and occupied freaking Oil Land, and STILL came up with zip.


What part of that is not factual? You're laughable. You're caught in an obvious contradiction, you know it, and the best you can come up with is dummy, dummy, dummy, like a five year old. I have no problem with the name calling, if that's your thing, but you need to actually squeeze in a refutation of my point somewhere, too.

It's interesting how many Republicans, like yourself, feel the need to claim to be independent. In your case, it's clearly pretension (you're sooo much smarter than the rest of the nation that's "dominated by morons"), but I wonder if it isn't a little bit of shame, too. I'd be ashamed if I was associated with a party that had that record.

That part to start with. It does you no good (or your argument) when you insult others while making bone headed idiotic statements like that.

No, I didn't say as much. I suppose English wasn't your best subject in school as you don't seem to understand it very well.

You seem to lack an ability to look back a few posts in a thread too.

I called you out on partisanship because of the following moronic statement:


By any reasonable measure, that's proof that Republicans are stunningly incompetent at governing, legislating, and probably tying their shoes.


To which I replied:

Typical party politics thinking and why things are so fucked up. Anyone who blindly adheres to a party is a moron and is part of the reason this country is heading into the crapper.


And I stand by that. This sort of stupid partisanship does nothing but harm the country. I never responded to the part you quote above because it is basically true and I have no problem with it. The moronic statement you followed it with is what I took issue with, but you don't seem to be smart enough to understand that.

Sorry for you there, Skippy. I am not associated with either party and never will be. I have voted for both Democrats and Republicans in the past depending upon whom I thought was the better candidate. You can continue to believe I am a Republican if it makes you feel better, I really don't care. It's pretty typical for those who are so enamoured of a party that they can't imagine that anyone who disagrees with them could be anything other than a member of the opposing party. Frankly, all who blindly follow either party without question are no better than sheep being led to the slaughter.

How? Please demonstrate how it is addressing it. not bandaiding it, addressing it. Do a bullet point if you like.

More than one as well.
addressed everything in your reply -- you addressed nothing in mine.


Wrong. But then I will wait to see you address any of the issues. You have the chance. Dont blow it.

You really should stop trying to defend the indefensible. You just look silly and foolish doing it.

If you want to defend Pelosi, you dont have to be a democrat. A moron maybe, but not a democrat. If you want to criticize her, you dont have to be a republican. Teh amendment dictating that only republicans and democrats can defend and criticize elected officials has not been ratified yet.

How do you spell Democrat? H.Y.P.O.C.R.I.T.E. It doesn't really work to rhetorically ask in written form how to spell something you just spelled. If you were speaking it could sort of work, but this just looks dumb.

Like I really care about your opinion of what looks dumb or not, are you an English lit professor?
