Apparently you still don't understand how the game works. When Bush was pres the dems took every opportunity to mock and ridicule him and make him a joke in the eyes of the American people and thus help to make him ineffective as a president and kill any agenda he may have had. It worked beautifully for them and now it is our turn, fight fire with fire.

Bush tried that philosophy. He sat by and didn't defend himself as the left launched their constant attacks and he ended up a completely impotent president with poll numbers in the 20s. Politics is a dirty business and if you let the other guy throw rocks while you throw marsh mellows you will lose.

You do have a point there. Politics is a dirty filthy business, on par with pornography. :lol:

I have said for years that each party just has a different methodology for getting as much of our hard earned dollars as they can get. It has gone so far, that it will likely backfire on both parties. As a coworker used to say, 'the jig is up.' Well, I'd say 'the jig is almost up.'

So, because something is wrong in one case, that makes it right for you to do? What kind of logic is that? You are so morally outraged at the wrong that others do, so, rather than be better than them, you think it is your duty to jump in the mud pit and do what you are so opposed to? Illogical and petty...

Cognitive dissonance. This is why things are so messed up on both sides. Everyone acts like petulant children..."but mommy, he did it first'

If something is wrong when someone else does it, it does not become OK when you do it. Circular reasoning.
 
Barack Obama is the Miley Cyrus of American presidents.

I never said what the dem's did to Bush was wrong, I said it was very effective. If the right sits their on high moral ground with their hands tied behind their backs don't be surprised when they are a foot note in history. To bring it down to street level it would be like fighting another man and observing Marcus of Queensbury rules while your opponent is using every below the belt kick in the nuts stab bludgeon and bite tactic at his disposal. You will lose.

If you look back into the political history of America, what goes on these days is pale in comparison. The jig is not up, the beat goes on.

Baloney, you are just trying to justify unethical behavior. Don't pretend to stand for something or demand if from others if you can't do the same.

Well, I heard this morning that it was the woman (Prime Minister of ??? - can't remember - LOL) who actually wanted to have a picture with Obama. What should he have said? No?

You betcha! So the Republicans can accuse him of having offended a leader of an important European country. "The man simply lacks the required diplomatic skills and shouldn't be President. Community organizer, terrorist buddy, amateur golfer and basketball player, Imam, etc., yes but not President of the United States. He's just an embarrassment to America domestically and on the world stage. He's needs to be scolded like a school boy for that. Where's Jan Brewer to wag her finger in his face?"

Beating Obama up is winning not whining. Whining is what you will do when he takes your guns after you sat around and let him gain power.

So does the other side. But, engaging in never ending crying of "Wolf" by both sides is why so many people are dropping out of the parties.

When you were a child, your parents let you know that "but, everyone else does it!" was bad logic.

And everyone wonders why the tone of debate has become so personal and so nasty and so petty.

Rise above it.

What I say here is what I say IRL and the more people that speak out on Obama the better. You shrug your shoulders and say "whatever" here and IRL too I bet. Then when they come for your guns you will squeal like a stuck pig as you hand them over. If they come for mine they will get a slightly different reception.

Pointing out each and every misstep by Obama weakens him and IMO that is for the good.

One other thing, your definition of whining is interesting. How is it whining to mock and ridicule Obama? That sounds like something a lib would say.
