Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Monday, November 10, 2008

President-elect Barack Obama is poised to move swiftly to reverse actions that President Bush took using executive authority, and his transition team is reviewing limits on stem cell research and the expansion of oil and gas drilling, among other issues, members of the team said Sunday.

One good step would be to undo the Exxon-Mobil Energy Policy as engineered by Lord Vader. That's got to go.

One mandate for sure is to lift the economy and create jobs.

There is no mandate to mess with the Constitution and be vindictive. Even if the dems get all the majority, the Constitution is there to protect the citizens.

The unpopular war and the economic crisis benefitted Obama in winning the White House --- plus the liberal media bias and push from Oprah and the pull from his charisma got unmarried women in droves to his side. So except for luck and popularity, there isn't much of a mandate there.

Again, too much of a liberal medicine injected into the nation may occasion a surprise backlash in the near future.

Here's a good idea for Obama: Stop drilling everywhere, make it illegal to drive a gasoline powered car, and make everyone drive a bicycle or electric car.

Time to stock up on guns and ammo.

**** there isn't much of a mandate there.

It's limits on goverment funding of stem cell research. Big difference.

Damn, we don't want any cheep oil or gas here in the US. Let's import it all from people who hate us.

at the risk of exposing a future liberal hypocrosy history moment

would this be a part of the same energy policy that
OBAMA VOTED FOR AND MCCAIN VOTED AGAINST........

and of course we will all be contributing to stem cell research now whether we are in agreement with it or not.......

and then liberal fucks will turn right around and tell us that oh say in california that majority of people are against gay marriage..
well the will of the people doesnt matter when its an issue that we dont agree with...

you people are so transparent

The mandate was for larger welfare checks for everyone making under $250k. It wasn't a mandate to change out constitution. That subject never came up in the election.

After the 2004 election I remember Bush talking about the 'capitol' earned by a 'mandate' won by winning one more state than Kerry. He didn't use specificity. He said it was a mandate to do whatever he felt like doing. What he ended up doing was leaving a hell of a mess.

Man, Republicans need to take a long look in the mirror. The middle class in America has gotten the shaft and really struggling as a direct result of Bush's policies benefiting the uber wealthy (in case you don't read too much beyond this website)

"It's limits on goverment funding of stem cell research. Big difference."

Ya' gotta cut Skizziks some slack. That issue is WAY too complicated for his limited comprehension. Do you know he gets up every morning and checks for bird shit in his coo-coo clock?


The mandate was for larger welfare checks for everyone making under $250k. It wasn't a mandate to change out constitution. That subject never came up in the election.

I'm sorry.

I make well under 250k/yr and I haven't received a fucking welfare check. Ever.

My "stimulus check" still sits in the original envelope , un-cashed. Where is yours?

Fuck you very much.

"Man, Republicans need to take a long look in the mirror."

I don't think too many republicans are/were enthralled with Bush.

With thousands on the books, shouldn't be hard.

But let's hope he makes public each and every one of the signing statements so we can all see how America was really run for the last 8 years.

And VP Cheney's energy task force minutes too, assuming they haven't been shredified or suffered deletification already.


I don't think too many republicans are/were enthralled with Bush.

Yep. You're right. No one was enthralled with him, at all.

You will when the dems get their way. We will live in the land of milk and money. You won't have to worry about your house payment or gas in your car.

FF for Jest. on post # 12 Don't know if its true but it is funny.

Takeitez,

When are you going to realize it is people like you that got us into this mess to begin with?

Your accuity of perception is only as accurate as some mis-guided interpretation of metaphorical ancient writing demands that it is. And that is pure unintelligent shit and fairy tale worship.

You believe in ghosts and now you expect the rest of the world to stop turning while you and your fellow religious fanatics catch up.

Why don't you turn on Rush Limpdick and see what he tells you you should believe in this week. You guys being patriotic, I'm sure you are all behind our new president.

#11 | Posted by AMERICANUNITY

AU... my good an honest opponent......( he said as he threw up a little in his mouth)...NO IM TEASING about the vomit thing

the problem is AS WE HEARD during the last days of the campaign is that obama doesnt even worry that the figure that defines the middle class kept getting lower and lower and that biden questioned our patriotism if we DIDNT pay more taxes........( something that the left went beserk over when that charge came thier way and doesnt have the class to see that).............

and always remember the numbers when it comes to the rich and how much of the tax burden they carry.........

and when obama talks of giving people a tax cut who pay no taxes...........well how crazy is that

AND DANFORTH........before you have a stroke posting that people who dont pay taxes arent included in that.........MAYBE You should tell some of them because people I have debates with at a sports bar who are in that category seem to think they will be getting a check in the mail soon after the inaugaration

My "stimulus check" still sits in the original envelope , un-cashed. Where is yours?

Fuck you very much.

#13 | Posted by Axiom at 2008-11-10

so let me ask the question

why not?

I cashed mine immidiately and helped to spur the economy in louisville kentucky,.,,,,,,,,,,for those of you who dont know...churchill downs is in that city so you see........the joke is that I used the stimulus to GAMBLE..........but it does go to economy of those places

so are you THAT virtuous that you would just not take it.........IF you are, then I am impressed

BL2

Why are you so worried? Your living on the government money now with your retirement and SS.

The rest of us still have to make a go of it.

You were and are middle class. You should be FOR the middle class.

Republicans are great at voting against their best interests

BL2,

The question becomes whether one believes income taxes are the only taxes paid, or whether one knows the truth. You continue to spout the lie.

Even after it's debunked, time and again, you barf up this "they don't pay taxes" crap, as if all the regressive taxes (sales, gasoline, property, excise, utility, payroll) didn't exist.

When ALL taxes are considered, all five quintiles pay about 17%-21% of their overall income in taxes.

"If it means increasing taxes, it is worth reversing."

Obama

BL2, when I want to hear a whining, I'll crank a fucking jet engine. Otherwise? Bite me.

Why are you so worried? Your living on the government money now with your retirement and SS.

#21 | Posted by AMERICANUNITY

I don't know abou you but.. I'll never get back what I have paid into SS so it IS NOT government money but MINE.

SNIPER

Most people collect more than they paid into SS nowadays as life expectancy increases.

More to my point is how most people that scream about Democrats are middle class themselves. It's been Democrats who have fought for the middle class for decades.

-FDIC
-FDA
-SEC
-Labor standards
-Minimum Wage
-Banking Laws
-Social Security
-Medicare

And most other laws that we now take for granted that keep us safe and protect our financial well being.

help us Obama (won kenobe), you're our only hope.

Does this place only attract the stupidest of the stupid from the Right or is it a fairly accurate representation of Conservative "thought" in America today?

What scares me-is they seem to be the fairly accurate representation of Conservative "thinking"-if you can call what they do "thinking"-I can't.

Anyone who is still arguing in the false left, right paradigm is stupid....

All federal enforced socialism. Thanks Democrats.

DENMARK

Since you don't live here you don't have to worry about bank failures losing you your money, safe foods and pharmaceuticals, laws protecting investors, working conditions, wages, banks run amok trading derivatives to the point of collapse, your pension in Denmark will be paid to you, your medical care will be provided in Denmark.

I just went down that list.

Bitch on from Copenhagen ...

-Banking Laws! Bwahahahaha!

#32 | Posted by JeffnDenmark

They worked like a charm until the retards on the right started tearing regulations from the book

Don't preach to us from Denmark - a Socialist country.

I've spent a fair amount of time there in my life. Don't think you can pull the wool over my eyes.


so let me ask the question

why not?

Because I don't need the government to help me. I live well within my means and am able to put up a good bit at the end of each month for savings.

I didn't cash it because the government had to borrow the money to write those checks, driving us deeper into debt. But you and people like you sat waiting for your handout from Big Brother.

Conservatives used to have something called "principles".


Anyone who is still arguing in the false left, right paradigm is stupid....

We can't all run away from our problems. Some of us have to stick around and make the best of it.

Fucking pussy.

You guys must think Denmark is on another planet. We are effected here to by what the New World Order is doing to.
This is all about GLOBALIZATION!
Globalization= world socialist/fascist state. One world banking system.
You people also don't seem to realize that Your leaders including Obama don't work for you. They work for the New World Order.
Who is the New World Order?
They are the old money families of Europe. The Rothschild's, Warberg's, Rockerfeller's and others.
They are pillaging your banks as we type. And Obama was funded 4 to 1 by these bastards.

BTW,
Instead of calling me a conspiracy nut, and personally attacking me, prove me wrong.

Excuse my typing. I just got off work, and I'm tired.


Instead of calling me a conspiracy nut, and personally attacking me, prove me wrong.

I don't think you are a conspiracy nut.

I read the same sites you read. I listen to the same radio/internet stream you do.

The difference is, I haven't run away. I'm here.

You ran away. That makes you a pussy.

JEFFDENMARK

We live in the world we live in.

Me in the United States, and you safe and sound in Denmark - where if you get hurt you don't lose your house.

BTW,
Didn't Pelosi teach you Democrat locksteppers anything?

She was voted in mainly to appose, and possibly impeach Bush, and now they go skipping hand in hand picking pork barrel daisies.

AU- It sounds like you really like Denmark. Why do you live here?

Why don't you take a trip over here.
Almost every other house has a for sale sign in the yard.

I was just laid off from my job 2 weeks ago because the guy I was working for had to many outstanding customer debt collections when the banks crashed, and many of the banks just locked many of the construction companies bank accounts. I was just lucky enough to find another job quickly.
I just had a front tooth pulled because it was cracked, and got infected, now I need a bridge. It is going to cost me out of my pocket about 3000$.
So don't think socialism is the magic bullet solution. Socialism is a thin line away from communism, and fascism.

Here comes bitter Joe the ankle biter.
Joe you remind me of the short guy that has a short guy complex and always wants to pick a fight with the biggest guy in the room.

Hilarious, Skidmark - being the loser who fled America for a life of socialist bliss in Denmark where you can rip on Americans from the comfort of your Section-8 equivalent home, you create a similar image. You know, the small guy who ran away when the big guy was about to pummel him, who then says "hold me back" and pretends he still wants to fight. It's okay Skidmark, America won't hurt you anymore.

If by "biggest guy in the room" you mean "a liar that looks for friends and acceptance on the net" you'd be right.
Now piss off Skidmark. I'm sure there's a wheel barrow that needs re=locating...oh wait, you managed to lose that job too. "Clean up, aisle 7".

Chairpoodle,
I'd kick your ass 3 ways from Sunday, and enjoy myself completely.
Joe wasn't picking a fight with me this time numbnuts. Why don't you try and keep up you senile old poofter.
And you seem to be the one who gleens the little groupies, so that would mean that you are the one that seeks friends and exceptance. I on the other hand get mostly abuse from the village idiots like you.
So go flail yourself you self loathing creep.

AU- It sounds like you really like Denmark. Why do you live here?

Yet another example of me correcting one of my puppets...
The person I refered to in my above post was Americunty, not you. If I was talking about you I would have mentioned "stupid", "failure", "embarrassment", "mooch", "fired", and "conspiracy loser".

Try to keep up next time dummy.

The tough guy rourine is hilarious. Make all of the excuses you want, but it was apparent that you lost your cool and meant what you typed. I love getting you limpwristed queefs angry enough to issue internet threats. Looks like I win yet again.

"I love getting you limpwristed queefs angry enough to issue internet threats. Looks like I win yet again."

The mentality reveals itself. And what exactly do you "win"? A lifetime supply of douche-bags? A sand-free vagina? Too bad it isn't a job and a chance to actually contribute something to society, because then you might even have something relevant to post once in a while.

I attract the Drudge morons like fly paper. I get them dancing and hopping every fucking post. Every time, and then they repeat my retort like they actually had an original thought, and then they call me a puppet.
I love it.....
OK, My work is done here...
Hehehe!

Your only puppet is that your namesake you have a hold of through the hole in your pocket.

I agree with Kevin.
Get a job Chairpoodle!

Now, take your hand off your namesake, out through the hole in your pocket, go to the bathroom, and wash your hands before you make everyone at work sick.

Like challenging another poster to a fight Lil Kev? How about non-stop posts about other peoples posting habits and time on the retort? Contributing like that, right?

Americunty,
Did you forget what you were trying to say old man? Maybe you should take a nap and retype your post so it makes sense?

Skidmark,
Of course you agree with that tool. You both think issuing internet threats make you tough. Now go suc

I'm sure this makes sense to you.

Ha. No, I turned to the TV when they broke into coverage at the White House and continued typing.

If you're having a hard time understanding what I said it's strictly denial on your part.

Poor airhead (ie. official drudge scorekeeper). Lashing out at the world that done wronged him. What a sensitive buffoon. Dishes it, then cries all the way home about receiving it.

I'm going to another thread now Chairpoodle...See you there little troll puppet.
I command you to follow me to another thread Chairpoodle.... Follow... Follow...

Lil Kevie,
You seem to have a hard time following your own rules. I don't recall any post of mine that can be consrued as whining or ever being accused of being sensitive.
You're the snatch that doesn't like having your own words used against you. You're the snatch that wants to talk about other peoples jobs but wants yours off limits.

Plainly put Kevie, you're a little puss.

Americunty,
Shouldn't you be telling everyone about a new illness that has happened in the family? Isn't there some tragedy you can exploit to get sympathy around here? How about another lie involving badges, fingers, or places you've lived? How about that "Colonel"?

JEFFDENMARK

That's 101's MO. Troll and stalk.

He's a very sick and twisted individual who attributes his own low qualities to others in a feeble attempt to purge himself of the very things that cause him self loathing.

He could buy a psychiatrist a big house with all the therapy he needs.

The crack the other day regarding Obama, "James Earl Ray was my hero", may get him attention from the Secret Service.

101 is an attention seeker extraordinaire. I wouldn't doubt if he gets a little over that one either.

101

I don't need sympathy. Never have.

You, on the other hand, need some serious psychological help. That's obvious to everyone here but you and your arfing poodles who need it just as badly.

I"m gonna go take a nap.

You should really take your hand out of that hole in your pocket and do your co-workers (or your mother) a favor and wash your hands. If you can't be a decent human being at least you can keep the bacteria from spreading .....

Right, that's why everyone knows so much about me and nothing about you...

Oh wait...

You're a sick little pud that comes here looking for sympathy from soup to nuts. If your kitty cat so much as gets the sniffles you'll be here looking for attantion. From dogs, to sisers, to mommy, you can't seem to STFU about your personal life.
Go beg another poster to let you pick them up from work stalker.

101, your big man/little penis act is wearing thin. Use my words all you want you sniveling windbag. No one told you otherwise. You just have to be able to understand them first, and that is where you always fail miserably. You are a self appointed scorekeeper with no knowledge of the game. That you and learning never got along is no excuse.

"I"m gonna go take a nap."

What time zone are you in, gramps?

Time for a nap zone

It's wearing thinis it? What are you going to do about it Lil kev? Are you going to challenge me to a fight? Oooohhh, let me tell you how scared I am...

Tell me more about score keeping while you follow Joe's schooling and career...

Smooches bitch.

It's amazing to me that almost every time, within minutes after I post Chairpoodle, or one of his toadies like Wizgod, or Joe show up and launch personal attacks on me.
They never have any real substance to their retort, just personal attack.
The reason for personal attack is to intimidate, and cause the person to back off, or go away.
It's not working. I have been here for 3 years, and I will continue to post.
The internet Chairpoodles are weak bunch of mind slaves, and will go by the wayside.

101ST

Stalkers are morons who show up on threads, chasing other posters around like you do. (like you did again on this thread).

I'm sorry your life is such a miserable failure. That's apparent. The only place you can feel like a big guy is on an anonymous blog being as big an asshole as possible. You're a miserable attention seeker. Your problem is your reaching too far through that hole in your pocket and pulling stuff out of your ass and telling yourself it's true or 'witty'.

Talk to your hand. Tell it, "Move away from the pocket!" That'll be a start. Then you have to admit you have a problem. Your ego and inferiority complex are too large for that to happen. How does your family stand being around you, or have you already driven them away? Ya. No doubt that's already happened, thus the constant attention seeking around here.

Why does Unitard keep talking about hands in pockets? Can you go a day without sounding like a creep?

No doubt that's already happened, thus the constant attention seeking around here.

Right, constant...or while at work. You know why I don't post outside of work hours you sad sack? Because I have a social life. I don't sit around watching tv and posting all day and all night like you.

Not that I need to tell you, but your "pocket" joke is not the least bit funny. If you want attention go make up another ill relative or some other equally stupid attention getting hook.

Speaking of which, my boss noticed my return to this site. I didn't even realize he knew what it was, but he noticed the cookies showing up again and remember this site from before. Commented something like "it was a good couple years of getting work out of me, but he knew Obama was going to change that."

The pocket puppet reference wasn't intended to be funny.

My social life is just fine, thanks. I have a recording studio at home and work on my own schedule. I post here when I feel like it and don't when I don't feel like it. I live on royalties from 30 years of hard work and good investments and write when the mood hits me. Sorry you're stuck where you are. Not my problem. No violins.

Gee, none of us knew you considered yourself the only one allowed to make quips around here. (Psst .. it's that 'egomaniac with an inferiority complex' you have).

Now, I am going to read a book and take a nap. Carry on moron.

"Smooches bitch."

I'm busy, so your mom is just going to have to wait.

101ST

My conversations about my family members happened in the middle of the night with another poster while you were sleeping off a drunk. You chose to troll comments a couple of days later and make an issue of a personal tragedy, not me ... asshole.

You should really quit pulling shit out of your ass

Time for the last couple of chapters of my book.

ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

See? More "Look at me, pay attention to me". Nobody gives a fuck about your made up life. Hell, you claimed you were a Colonel when you posted under the other "American" handle.

You can't go 5 posts without trying to let everyone know about what you're doing, who's sick and dying, or what you did. You're a lonely old codger that gets caught lying daily.

Seriously, nobody cares about you, and typing made up shit on the net isn't going to change that. Now go take that nap you've been talking about before adding the oh so impressive "First I'm going to read a book" shit. Nobody believes you.

Obama Consigliere "Rahmbo" Emanuel Sent Dead Fish to Foe
Rahm Emanuel, who has accepted Barack Obama's offer to be his chief of staff at the White House', is better known by his nickname "Rahmbo", for once he mailed a dead fish to a Democratic pollster who turned disloyal during a US Congressional race when Bill Clinton ran for his first bid to the Presidency.

Chairpoodle,
Don't you you have some bugs to burn with a magnifying glass? Or some flies waiting for you to pull their wings off?

"The unpopular war and the economic crisis benefitted Obama in winning the White House --- plus the liberal media bias and push from Oprah and the pull from his charisma got unmarried women in droves to his side. So except for luck and popularity, there isn't much of a mandate there.

Really, you said god had mandated a McCain presidency, fuck you even had a conversation with jebsus about it. Now you try to say since the dems have control we should still try to do what the righties want, I mean it's not like Bush co and his judge appointees are trying to change teh constitution. I say undo everything Bush has done, it's all been a fucked up ass backward approach. We have the power it's time to wield it responsibly while furthering the agenda that got us elected!! Go dems!!

This is the backlash the right is getting for injecting ignorance, and religion into American politics, time for the left to clean up the HUGE fucking mess the right has created.

LM

Start with the nazification act and the department of fatherland security.

Yeah right...

Obama is a corporate puppet for the globalist bankers.
Obama was backed 4 to 1 by Wall street, and he is completely for the bail out.
He is continuing the war, he isn't going to repeal any of the patriot act.
He isn't going to repeal sneak and peek laws.
Gun and ammo sales are going thru the roof because people are waking up to the fascism coming under liberal, socialist cover.

Jeff, Up in the air! Is it bird? Is it it plane?

No! It's some black helicopters circling a cow pasture in Missouri!!

Wow, you were right about that, "fascism coming under liberal, socialist cover.", stuff, eh?

"and the pull from his charisma got unmarried women in droves to his side. "

Takitez, you should count yourself lucky you will never have this problem.

Right on, Furio....

Hey Chairbitch, why are you so angry today did your boyfriend go "ass to mouth" on you again last night?

101ST

Only a dimwit like you would consider someone saying they're reading a book 'bragging'. It's obvious to everyone you think you're a real wit, but reading your posting history is like deja vu every other post - no matter who the poster is. Your schtick is as worn out as your beer keg.

**** and always remember the numbers when it comes to the rich and how much of the tax burden they carry.........

......so who should pay for Bush's optional war in Iraq ?.......

101-

You do realize that you claiming nobody cares about AU.... while continuing to clash with him everywhere and even about his personal life... is sort of what we call around here a self-retorting retort, right?

SOHEIFOX

101ST is a troll who shows up 2" from my butthole any thread I post on during the day. LOL

Read his posting history. He says the same things to almost everyone on this site. Everyone's a "liar", or the other limited number of nouns he knows.

By God don't ever tell him you read books!!

BTW, how are you and your bride doing?

So except for luck and popularity, there isn't much of a mandate there.

That may be the second dumbest statement ever made on this site.

He needs to stop waterboarding which is touturing no matter what you say. Playing drowning is not what I consider a way to get information.

We can be generous and ask him to undo only around 6 to 7 hundred of them and all of them intended only to increase the power of the executive branch. In answer to this only two words come to mind, "Good" and "Luck" said together. What man assuming any position is apt to reduce his power as a first action upon achieving office?

So except for luck and popularity, there isn't much of a mandate there.

That may be the second dumbest statement ever made on this site.

Now admit it, you left the door wide open for that one!

But let's hope he makes public each and every one of the signing statements so we can all see how America was really run for the last 8 years.

It is my understanding that Presidential signing statements are public information in fact the Georgetown Law Library has a database of them.
There may in fact be some that are not made public due to national security issues.

If i'm wrong which I don't think I am you would be sadly wrong to think President Obama will release any of President Bush's signing statements as this would set precedent and he would have to release his own. No President will willingly give up any of his power either on the left or the right.

Although it should be the law that they are released which I think it already is.

JSL-
How aware are you of the number and sheer scope of Bush's "signing statements" (as, perhaps, compared to previous presidents)?

Quite aware President G.W.Bush 1100+,(some say it's actually much lower) President Clinton 381, President G.H.W. Bush 228, President Reagan 250.

But I don't see how that is relevant to the argument of whether they are already public or not, and if they aren't whether President Obama will release President Bush's there by setting precedent to release his own.

Obviously all should be made public by law which I think is the case already except in cases of true national security issues.
