Man, forget retirement, if this Change thing keeps up we will all be eating tree bark by the end of the year.

Not me. I don’t have thousands of rounds of .22LR ammunition for the .22 rifle I don’t have to not hunt rabbits and squirrels. I didn’t fight my way to the top of the food chain to graze with the prey animals. We’ll eat at my house. We don’t do soup lines.

so maybe both sides should cool it with the silly hyperbole, hmmmm?

You’re right. The truth is bad enough. Who needs hyperbole when we have: the Freedom of Choice Act; his views of redistribution of wealth socialism and the U.S. Constitution; his view that “we cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded”; his $845 billion Global Poverty Act; his plans to disarm this country; his appointments of woefully unprepared and, in some cases, dishonest people to key positions of his administrations (i.e. CIA, Sec. of State, Sec. of Treasury, etc.); his ideas for a $1.2 trillion “stimulus” package (has Keynesian economics ever worked?); his pushing for gays serving openly in the military; his pledge to bankrupt the coal industry; his ideas to fix the fictional notion of Global Warming; and Biden’s call for support: “And he’s gonna need help [when a crisis hits]. And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you – not financially to help him – we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.”?

We’ve spent eight long years listening to you guys call Bush “Chimpy McBusHitler, the Emperor in Thief and Shredder of the Constitution”.

Calls for restrained and moderate language on our part will get you laughed at.

I feel gypped… You mean, since Obama’s coronation Osama Bin Laden didn’t surrender? Israel and the Arab-world didn’t shake hands and say “good game”? The DOW didn’t shoot above 10,000 upon the words “so help me God”? Why wasn’t there someone at gas station wanting to pay for my gas? Where’s my bank statement saying I owe nothing on my house? Why don’t I have a bag of groceries waiting on my doorstep? Did I miss something? (/sarc)

Okay…but to be fair, he has not yet instituted sharia law, Fox News is still broadcasting, Bush and Cheney have not been arrested for war crimes, no Catholic church has been forced at gun point to perform a gay marriage and Bill Ayers is not Secretary of Defense, so maybe both sides should cool it with the silly hyperbole, hmmmm?

Wasn’t that Vitter’s thing?

Merely a rumour.
