Big Dick McGee said:You guys lost. Twice. It's been a year and a half now. GET OVER IT. Jesus H. Christ, when Slick Willie was beatin' his Republican counterparts like a red-headed stepchild, you didn't hear us whinin' about bad voting machines.
Christ, Democrats are pussies.
Eggs Mayonnaise said:Slick Willie didn't have the CEO of Diebold saying publically (and proudly) that he'd fine-tune his voting machines to swing an election.
This isn't paranoia, it's reality that the party in power is keeping at bay, but for how long? I think not much longer. Pride goeth before a fall...

Big Dick McGee said:With all due respect my friend, if you think your party doesn't have its fair share of well-heeled zealots...well, then, you've never heard of "celebrities".
Eggs Mayonnaise said:I never said Dems aren't culpable too. But every time you argue for your guys, you never seem to dispute what they've done to the Constitution, to the citizenry and to our reputation in the world. You don't seem to mind it, for some reason it makes you sleep better at night.
So instead of real debate, I usually get "when will they ever learn" and "boy it's great to be in power" back at me.
You can't learn something when there's nothing to learn. Other than "don't like it? Knock me off this hill!" Well, we're working on it.

Eggs Mayonnaise said:You just illustrated what's so wrong, and why it plays so well with the (ever-shrinking) majority of Americans: "it doesn't affect me." It's amazing to think what else you might allow to be done as long as you felt sure that you wouldn't be added to the wrong list as a result.
Trouble is, no one can ever be sure that they'll always be immune from those lists, no matter how white, financially secure and rah-rah-status-quo they are. Eventually, someone else with more connections than you is going to feel that you're too different from them, and you'll know what being "affected" really feels like.
It's just a matter of time in this environment.
Eggs Mayonnaise said:Thank you for illustrating my point even further. Besides that not making much sense, it was a rationalization and a lashing out at things that aren't "you."
At some point you're going to have to go beyond cynicism and find something to believe in, as opposed as something to feel superior to in order to remain comfortable. Your guys thrive on people like you, they are doing crazy crazy shit with your blind proxy.
