American culture in the past has taught and encouraged pointless competition. Look at these stupid 'reality' shows, in the last 7 years. Who can be forced off the island. Get real. What happened to quality sitcoms from the 90s?

In republican thinking,
If you can pump your ego by "winning" an arguement with verbal sparring, then suddenly, the results ARE reality.

Damn the truth.

It is delusional and pathetic at least. And very corrupt and fatal as is the case with IRAQ and Hurricane Katrina.

I'm not playing.

Having free airwaves, without the requirement for honesty or credibility only helps to encourage this freak 'lifestyle'.

I'm sure we all have relatives like that that we are embarrassed because of.

I have relatives who were once successful who are falling on their asses now, corrupted by this very type of thinking. Especially my father, but they think that if they maintain the illusions, if they keep their lawn mowed, If they keep their memebership at the golf club, if they continue to go through the motions of years gone by, that the reality bubbling from beneathe them, won't happen and they won't fall.

This is what being republican is about.

It 'ain't' pretty.
 
~If you can pump your ego by "winning" an arguement with verbal sparring, then suddenly, the results ARE reality.

Any belief or verbalization, NO MATTER HOW PASSIONATLY STATED, does not make it reality. The real question, I'd say, is "why the need for such strong and loud convictions?"

But being that we humans are of limited intelligence, intution, information and are bound by (and believe in) something technically non-existant (time), I believe it is always wise to allow room for the possibility of being blatantly wrong and misguided.
 
News Conference

When I saw his news conference this morning, I immediately thought of this. Perhaps the senator enjoys watching Little Britain as well.

 
"If you can pump your ego by "winning" an arguement with verbal sparring, then suddenly, the results ARE reality."

I blame it on Hollywood and TV. Most Republicans (and some Democrats) like to give pretty speeches that are straight out of a Frank Capra film (without the socialist undertones, of course). They fancy it makes them "one of the people". Look no further than GW and his "Texas" mangling of the language (this from a Maine Yankee) to see that.

And TV: Most sitcoms in the last 30 years or so have depended on the simple-minded insult for most of their comedic value. Try comparing almost any sitcom today to finely crafted stuff like "The Dick Van Dyke Show", or even the more "lowbrow" stuff like "The Beverly Hillbillies" to see how low it has sunk

...and don't even start me on cable news, and their whole "screaming match" mentality.

People see that, and absorb it, and think that's the way they should act. We all suffer for it.
 
I've been holding off making any comments beacuse I couldn't stop laughing. Idaho really IS a great place to live. (After all, Rock Goddess Carole King lives here)But, we sure love our Republican sleezeballs. Craig is only one of many.

Craig has always been anti-gay, ranting and raving about how gays destroy the sanctity of the family and marriage. I guess he meant kinda like he just did to his own family. Really, Larry! Flirtin in the shitter? How romantic!!

Of course, here in Idaho we are real men, who think marriage should be between one man, one woman, and the man's huntin' and fishin' buddies Percy and Lance.
 
Risking the possibility of causing this thread to degenerate (although it's quite possible it will elevate a thread devoted to the story of a politician caught soliciting sex in a public restroom), I offer this tidbit:

At time I am kidded about my age (and I'm not THAT old) when I'm with a group of younger men (usually in a competitive atmosphere, such as motorcycling or sports), I let the first few jokes ride. Then after the third one, I generally look at the speaker right in the eye, and say slowly and seriously,

"You'll be very lucky to live as long as this."

That generally shuts them up.

LOL!
 
I guess they moved from parks to airports.

Does anyone remember when George Michael (Wham!) got caught in a park bathroom? Later on the in National Enquirer, there was a article about how George Michael told the police officers in the car "But I'm George Michaels, I'm from Wham! From the 80s, you can't arrest me" but the officers did not remember Wham!. Later on, when George Michael stated "I'm Not Gay" Boy George ("Do You Really Want to Hurt Me")stated "We are all sisters under the skin".

"No, if it was a Democrat, the only place you would hear about it is on conservative talk radio. The media has field days when a conservative Republican screws up".

Well, It seems these days most scandals in Washington are centered around corrupt Republicans who say one thing to their base and do another thing in private. ex: Duke Cunningham,Bob Ney,Jack Abramoff,Scooter Libby, Mark Foley,Karl Rove, David Vitter,Larry Craig..shall I continue?

Secondly,...Flashback to 1999 at the height of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Bill Clinton was torn to pieces by the so called "liberal" news media. ABC,NBC,CBS.CNN...etc etc. Meanwhile, Al Queda was planning their attack on America and all the Republican controlled Congress focused on was getting Clinton impeached.
I am tired of conservatives whining about liberal media bias. Everyone knows Fox News is bought and sold by the Republican Party.
 
I wonder what bathroom at MSP it was? Concourse A,B C or D? Was he flying to/from Washington?
Personally, I don't think that they should have to have undercover cops in the cans at the airport. You shouldn't have to worry about that either.

Thanks for the little history lesson about "tea rooms", once again I learned something new!
 
Attacks

Sean Hannidy and Rush "Betty Ford" Limbaugh spent all day lambasting Craig's outers, naturally -- laughably accusing THEM of divisiveness, rabble-rousing and politically motivated mudslinging.

What I want to know from these two Wind Bags is, what else do THEY do BUT foster divisiveness, rabble-rousing and politically motivated mudslinging.

Have any of you risked losing your sanity and listened to either of these pompous blowhards? Oh, the pain, the pain............ It's absolutely excruciating.

And, yes, I =DO= unabashedly and without shame, point a BIG FAT FINGER OF ACCUSATION at Larry Craig and all of the fearful, flabby, prissy-pants closet queens like him. Not for what they do but for the blatant, psychotic hypocrisy behind it.

Complicity in the violence and murders committed against EVERY GAY MAN because of their phony, self-serving, homophobic piety falls on the head of every one of these smugly leering, small-minded, beady-eyed bottom-feeders (literally, in some cases, errrg...).

Boy oh boy, don't even get me started on these hate-mongers.

=======

P.S.: And I am =NOT= guilty of ageism. Even the Good Book that all these hypocrites love to get up in their bully pulpits and quote from states, "There is a time and a place for everything under the sun." (Ecclesiastes 3:1)

Sorry, but there just comes a time when it IS time to put that gristly old weenie away and stop annoying people with it. Larry Craig went out of season many, many moons ago.
 
The myth of "liberal media" has been around since at least the Nixon administration, when the paranoiacs of the Nixon regime (many of whom have found their way to the current administration) were grasping at straws to explain the crookedness of their leader.

People of normal intelligence know its a fraud: All of the mainstream media organizations are owned by, or heavily influenced by, the military/industrial complex. (A phrased coined by the dangerous radical Dwight Eisenhower) A reporter could be to the left of Karl Marx and pour his politics into his writings, but by the time his copy made its way through the myriad editors, producers, and sponsor's reps, it would never see the light of day.

But more than anything, sex and violence is what sells in today's media environment. After Clinton was set up (and dumb enough to take the bait) the media went crazy. Most Dems are either too smart to take such bait, or too open about their lives for it to make good copy. It's only the repressed conservatives who rail against others who bring it upon themselves.
 
SOOO true.

Again, repubs think if they can argue and over talk people and use high resolution snazzy graphics, they can get away with relabeling and redefining and THIS will be the new reality, regardless of actual reality.

Calling one of their own 'moderates' a "liberal" and not bothering to have people who are actual Democrats on their shows.
These people are sick.

They are trying to redefine the lines, and America is waking up to this crap. SLLoowwly...

It is particularily sick how republicans have sleazed Americans into voting against themselves on issues like personal privacy, voting accuracy, fair taxes, clean water and air, safe imports, etc.

LOL, the demographics for that idiot bil o'reily is the over 60, white-male crowd. This is who watches those kinds of shows.
They suck this stuff in and believe it because:
a). it is easy on the ego, who doesn't want to hear "don't worry everything is fine, blame it on _______"

b). it doesn't require them to think, something men over 50 don't like to do. (They have a tendency to get stuck in a rut, you can't teach an old dog new tricks, it is said)

c). when they were growing up, the Fairness Doctrine was alive and one could count on a certain level of accuracy in the media so they think, "It must be true", unlike today. fox news is Pure white-trash republican propoganda.

Lol, If you give someone enough rope, perhaps they will hang themselves. I think that is what Democrats have been doing. Let the republican sleaze ruin themselves.
No mess or blame on Democrats. It has been fun watching the hypocritical lying radical-christian corrupt republican scum fall.
 
can't wait until 2008

when the Republican party loses more seats in Congress and The White House.

America has finally woken up to the deep corruption and hypocrisy in this party and they can thank their poster boy George W Bush for the downfall.
 
And of course who can forget Paul "Pee-Wee Herman"

who was observed pleasuring himself in an adult theatre.

The arresting police officers commented, "We caught him red-handed."

ba-DUMP-bump *krrsh*
