Would Chaplin Be Gloating Today?

It's a toss-up as to whether he'd have been happier about Rumsfeld's
resignation or Santorum's utter (and well deserved) defeat. Chaplin was
quixotic and mercurial, but he had no patience for hypocrites.

Points very well taken, but I was referring to Chaplin, not the
aforementioned non-entity. ;-)

"I remain just one thing, and one thing only, and that is a clown. It
places me on a far higher plane than any politician."

I generally do not like to engage in these personal back-and-forths, but my
only run-in with the aforementioned GS was about a year ago, when I made a
rare political aside on one of my posts, and Mr. Shelps wrote back to the
group, condescendingly, that I knew nothing about politics, was stupid,
etc., etc.

I am an attorney who has worked for a U.S. Senator, worked on various
congressional campaigns, worked as a staffer on a Presidential campaign back
in '04, will do so again in '08 - and this non-entity named "Shelps" was
lecturing me on basic politics, and calling me "stupid" because I had the
temerity to take a position different than his.

After that, I just realized that Mr. Shelps is a sad little man, who just
needs to be ignored.

Except for this one time!!

I doubt it. George W. Bush and the Republican congress were the best
recruiting poster our enemies could have imagined.

I don't know about Chaplin, but Al Qaida and the mullahs in Iran are
certainly
gloating.

Unless they were bloody dictators of
the left.

Would he have rejoiced at the gloating
of the mullahs in Iran?

So this time you've apparently decided to
weigh in full force, eh?

Again, let it not be said that Shelps initiates political debate on this
group!

The Democrats ran a smart campaign.
recruiting conservative candidates, like
pro-life Bob Casey, Jr, a former Reagan
Republican James Webb, and a formal
admiral, Joe Sestak.

Now let's see them come up with a real
egenda besides Bush-hating.

Numerous people on this group--David
Totheroh for one--are indeed addicted to stupidity, but I don't remember
whether
or not you qualified.

You're the sad little man
apparently nursing a grudge over
a slight based on one exchange years
ago.

Maybe you ought to consider posting
on topic this time?

Gee, since the CIA deduced that Bin Laden specifically timed his video
release to help Bush win the 2004 election, I dunno why they'd be
gloating now.

They just lost their co-conspirator!

But you're in lockstep with the Leader as always -

Bush last week: "The Democrats plan is that the terrorists win and
America loses."

That unAmerican, grotesque rhetoric went over so well that Bush lost
the congress and the Senate - America shook him off and all the plague
of his traitorous pals like an infestation of fleas.

Now Poppa's pal's brought in as Def Sec, as Poppa's other pal Baker is
planning the exit from Iraq - the 'cut & run' they accused the Dems of
being in favor of.

'Course the Leader *never* did say 'Stay the course', did he?

The grown-up are back in charge. Junior crashed and burned the country
- Dad's taking the keys back, elbowing him aside, putting things in
order again.

As Junior toddles off to nap with his teddy bear - and let's hope that
bear contains a fifth of Jack Daniels.

Breaking news: Hey, Junior's just passed another milestone in his
'presidency' - his lowest approval rating ever! 31%!

Haw! Haw! Haw!

So what? I guess they should be filed in along with the
70% of those who've rejected your Leader as - in your
Leader's words - "those who want the terrorists to win"

Hey, your Leader was photographed shaking Reid and Pelosi's hand!

That traitor! Making nice with terrorist supporters!

You better have some words with that Leader of yours!

I'm pretty confident about how Chaplin would feel, the surprise (based
on what turned out to be horrendously bad insider info) was how the
Pennsylvania voters felt.

Awww, dat hurts my feewings!

To endure the smear-slinging of a died-inthe-wool
traitor of the values America was founded on like yourself -
hey, that's a real bummer.

And while you applauded your Leader as he rushed to
war, with insufficient equipment, with no plan, no policy, resulting
in the deaths of nearly 3000 young men and women - as you cheerlead
even as it's clear the whole debacle was doomed from the beginning - as
is
made apparent by Rumsfled's dismissal - you have applauded a debacle
of incompetence and the slaughter of 3000 of your fellow Americans for
purely political reasons.

Because, as your Leader says, anyone who's against it 'wants the
terrorists to win'.

That's the kind of smear you guys would dole out to anyone who
questioned
"stay the course" (oops, sorry, I forgot - the Leader says he didn't
say that!).

Smearing simply to beat down any opposition to Rumsfeld working his
miraculous
magic in Iraq - almost 3000 dead - torture - the country bogged down in
quagmire.

All because of an arrogant man too proud to change course when his
idiotic theories were proven resoundingly false.

And because of 'party-over-country' guys like yourself who smeared on
his behalf and tried to beat down opposition 'cause he's "your guy".

Nice work.

The country thanks you.

Now look, the Leader said they want the terrorists to win.

Do you believe in your Leader and what he says is the truth, or not?

Do you think your Leader lies?

Is that what you think?

That your Leader told a lie?
