Oh. He was only AWOL.

Dopey remarks like the above are why I never vote the way tw does. That would be simply toooooo inept. His whole mentality is designed to fill me with the urge to urinate.

You look like an Obama voter, tw.

Try not to piss your pants, UG.

[Urbane Guerrilla]

I unzip, dear boy, I unzip -- a worthy thought. One I can brandish. One only improved on by pissing on tw's impolitic -- how impolitic! -- head. How do you feel about it? Do you look like an Obama voter too? That's how someone... broken looks.

I am seriously considering boycotting the next election. The choices are lining up to be 1) Bad and 2) Worse.

But then I'd miss voting on local issues and candidates, though. I feel that an individual voter can have some impact there. I'm even willing to go as far as voting for a Representative for the Colorado State Legislature. Maybe I can just leave the National stuff blank.

Well happy Thanksgiving anyway!

Ignore everything until well after the Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire primaries. Historically, the party's nomination is hardly even known until after those events. What is ongoing is the nonsense that will wed out many we should not even know about. I will never understand why anyone pays attention to so much nonsense as if any of it was relevant. Currently the many who only crave power are shooting themselves in the foot. Or pissing in their pants.

You are saying this like it is a bad thing.

Not at all. Just want him to be honest with the Cellar and where he was and what he did at the time. His choice. After that, like he said, we can go with what ever we want to believe.

Either way it will be doubted for his failure to answer.

None of it matters. The National Game has become too corrupt. Whoever gets voted(?) in under the current system and set of laws will not be a representative of the people - not whoever is President and not whoever gets into Congress.

The current deadlock in Congress is ample evidence of this. Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle want their owners to see that the Congressmen are voting for the ideologies they have been paid to back. Congress does not care that they have managed to lower the US's credit rating. Congress does not care that unemployment remains at 9%. Congress does not care about the American people. Period.

And Obama doesn't seem to care that much, either. He doesn't seem to be making an effort to even rally his own party - not really.

So, I am returning the favor.

The country has been in the crapper since we ratified the 19th amendment. Mississippi didn't ratify until March of 1984. The country would have been far better off if the rest of the nation followed our state.

I'm waiting for it to start.

Sam, I lay that on the doorstep of Obama's not being a capitalist. He was brought up by a Communist single mother, and mentored by other communists, like the Churchillian Bill Ayers -- Ward Churchillian, that is. The past three years have pounded home even into his resistant skull that Americans do not want or trust a socialist of either the communist or the fascist description (there is next to no fundamental difference, as students of these religions will tell you) running America's affairs. Even foreign heads of state are regarding Obama as something of a nonentity and are treating him as such.

There haven't been very many things Obama has said or done that didn't either offend me, or seem to me unwise and ill founded. I never listen to the man's speeches with any attention -- none of his ideas work, so I'm not going to attend to them. I chiefly attend to the man and his party in the polling booth -- to vote against the lot of them.

I never boycott elections. But if those who are bitterly hostile to about every worthwhile thought ever thought do so, then you've left the field to me, to the likes of me, and to those who go too far beyond me to be liked by me. But where are you then? Out in Dicksville-Urinant.
