Obama offers job to known terrorist sympathizer!!!!!

[digitaldean]

I'd say it's only right to show the new POTUS some respect and willingness to work with him. Something the crazy libs FAILED to do after the contentious 2000 election. Bush after both elections tried to reach out to the Dems only to get an upper cut from Daschle, Reid, Pelosi, et al.

The GOP can show the country they can work with him, but they can still find a way to stand for their core principles. Being gracious does NOT mean getting rolled all the time.

Emanuel is not a real bipartisan choice, but he may be just the buffer between Obama and the power drunk MoveOn.org wing of the Democrat party. If the union card check bill, the Fairness Doctrine, etc. get through it's proof Obama's Jimmy C the II and Emanuel can't control Schumer, Reid and Pelosi (alias Larry, Moe and Curly)

If Emanuel works like he did in the 90s for Clinton (working with Newt for the balanced budget agreement and welfare reform), there is a sliver (and only a sliver) of getting things done with Republicans. Yes, the Dems can ramrod just about anything through, but there are still some moderate Dems that can hold up some of the farther left items.

There will still be liberal judges appointed. I think the GOP has a right to fight even filibuster these. But given how squishy some of the moderate GOPers are, it won't be too likely.

If the Dems try pushing all their pet legislation through, then they will find in 2010 a good chunk of them won't be back. This country may have moved more left, they still have not crossed the threshold of going raving liberal.

all my conservative friends

You have conservative friends?

Actually The Fraud did say he was a Muslim. It was during an interview with George Stephanopulous (sp?). The Fraud started by saying he's Muslim and George interupted him and said your a Christian, and then The Fraud started over saying he's a Christian. There is an actual clip on it and I'd have to find it, but it's true. It was one of those moments where The Fraud slipped and show his real self...like the "spread the wealth" comment.

I got the forward from a friend. No joke - Derrick Frost sent it to him.

It was an interesting clip but I'd like to see the whole thing to make a final call.

It was pretty straight forward.

No misquote or trickery...does that mean he is a muslim? Probably not, it was a case where the thought was in his mind and it slipped out.

It's the only fair thing.

Don't play the fair card. It's not fair.

Oh Howard, don't be such a sore loser. Don't you agree, we need to treat President Erkel, oops, I mean Obama, with EXACTLY the same kind of respect the lefties showed Bush?

That kind of fairness ought to appeal even to you.

[LL2]

And yet he's still your president. (did ya ever think that maybe he's planning on picking up a few while he's in office?)

This is a very valid point. Come on now, fellow conservatives, Obama indeed, IS our president--or will be in January.

We need to be very scrupulous to SHOW THE NEW PRESIDENT EXACTLY THE KIND OF RESPECT THAT THE OTHER SIDE HAS SHOWN TO THEIR/OUR PRESIDENT OVER THE PAST EIGHT YEARS. It's the only fair thing.

You got that right...The Fraud deserves the same respect!

All you can control is your own behavior. The fact that so many liberals were shitheads towards Bush doesn't matter.

I've been thinking about this issue a lot the last 6 months. I've come to the conclusion that liberals and conservatives are about equally nasty. But the liberals are far more offensive because they think they are nice people by devine right. Leftists are oblivious. I saw so many ironic rants by left-wingers saying that Hillary Clinton is a vicious witch and John McCain is a mean old man - and worst of all they engage in dirty politics.

[mraynrand]

All you can control is your own behavior.

That's not what you tell us on every other issue. On every other issue, you seem to be telling us which behaviour we should and shouldn't have. How we should redefine marriage, how we should empty our pockets for health care (but not you). You seem perfectly comfortable 'controlling' other's behaviours so that they fit your ideology.

[texaspackerbacker]

The bottom line of all this, though, is that all of the disrespect and nastiness and perceived threat to our way of life, etc. is true and justified when applied to Obama, just as it was with Bill Clinton.

That is NOT the case, however, with George W. Bush.

Bush literally saved this country from repeats of 9/11 and by cutting taxes which brought back the country. If Algore had been president, not only is it highly probable that we would have had repeats of 9/11, but Gore would have driven this country into third world-style depravity and been happy to do it because that would promote his idiotic environmental agenda.

The inane moral equivalence crap being exuded by libs in here, incredibly, attempts to justify the savaging of Bush. It's like last week when somebody idiotically painted all politicians with the same brush--the height of mroal equivalence.

Tex;

Do you think president elect; the fraud is more akin to
Algonguin J Calhoun?

I'm hoping he's not another Huey Long.

So are you rooting for Obama to fail? Do you realize the position Obama is in right now? Obama's failures and successes over the next 4 years are America's failures and successes. Are you rooting for America to fail, just to prove a point?

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Wow. You conservatives are really bitter.

[arcilite]

no sour grapes like conservative sour grapes

Well you guys are the whine experts so you probably know your grapes.

They are in stage 3 of Obama Derangement Syndrome.
