Another Bad-News Day, For "conservatives"

[PLC1]

Say, Shaman, do you really think we'd be better off if everyone just became Democrats? Do you like the idea of a one party system?

Remember, Mexico had a one party system for about 70 years.

You make it sound like MY idea..........

Stay The Course has been tried (again), and lost.....(again).​

I didn't say it was your idea. I asked if you thought it was a good idea.

A one party system, all Democrats?

I'm curious what brilliance this based on? Because the slap on the wrist system is sure to work wonders on murders, drug dealers, rapists, etc. That's right, I forgot they are misunderstood. They committed crimes because daddy was to harsh on them when they were 4, and mommy didn't show them enough attention.

Even though it seems counter-intuitive, many studies down through the years, done in many countries has shown that the death penalty doesn't really provide any deterrent to crime. In fact it can cause an increase in the violence of crime because the criminal knows that they can only kill him once no matter what he does--he has nothing to lose.

The other problem is that too many innocent people have been killed and there is no going back from an execution. The death sentence has been used disproportionately against minority groups, poor people, and the mentally ill.

The death penalty is barbaric and unnecessary, if we stop putting people in prison for marijuana use (not selling, just use) we would have lots of free jail space to house the people who might otherwise be executed.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

I didn't say it was your idea. I asked if you thought it was a good idea.

A one party system, all Democrats?

Absolutely, not!

Expecting some (sense of) maturity, from Congressional-Republicans, was (probably) one o' the Obama Admin's greatest-mistakes, presently.

Republicans have (quite-obviously) delivered the one-Party-system.​

... you mean sense Republicans oppose the plan they are not "mature". What makes them mature? Rubber stamping the goals of the President?

You just said wanted a one-party system, you just want it to have two groups that think alike.

 

[PLC1]

Absolutely, not!

Expecting some (sense of) maturity, from Congressional-Republicans, was (probably) one o' the Obama Admin's greatest-mistakes, presently.

Republicans have (quite-obviously) delivered the one-Party-system.​

Is that a yes or a no?

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Is that a yes or a no?

Which part of Absolutely, not! don't you understand?

Give it a full-analysis, but don't strain yourself.

​

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Poor "conservatives".



It appears your-boys have dropped-to-their-knees....begging & slobbering for forgiveness....and, a History-rewrite.

​

"Former Bush administration officials have launched a behind-the-scenes campaign to urge Justice Department leaders to soften an ethics report criticizing lawyers who blessed harsh detainee interrogation tactics, according to two sources familiar with the efforts.

The effort began in recent weeks, the sources said, and it could not be determined how many former officials had reached out to their new counterparts.

A draft report of more than 200 pages, prepared in January before Bush's departure, recommends disciplinary action, rather than criminal prosecution, by state bar associations against Yoo and Bybee, former attorneys in the department's Office of Legal Counsel, for their work in preparing and signing the interrogation memos. State bar associations have the power to suspend a lawyer's license to practice or impose other penalties.

In an interview yesterday, Durbin said it was too early to call for a special prosecutor or another congressional probe.

But, he said, many important questions remained unanswered. "It's a question of responsibility. In this chain of command, how far up did it go?"​

 

[Mr. Shaman]

"United States interrogators killed nearly four dozen detainees during or after their interrogations, according a report published by a human rights researcher based on a Human Rights First report and followup investigations.

In all, 98 detainees have died while in US hands. Thirty-four homicides have been identified, with at least eight detainees — and as many as 12 — having been tortured to death, according to a 2006 Human Rights First report that underwrites the researcher’s posting. The causes of 48 more deaths remain uncertain.

Perhaps the most macabre case occurred in Iraq, which was documented in a Human Rights First report in 2006."​

Which part of Absolutely, not! don't you understand?

​

So, to my question:

Say, Shaman, do you really think we'd be better off if everyone just became Democrats? Do you like the idea of a one party system?

your answer is

Absolutely, not!

Finally, a real answer to a real question. Now, another question:


OK, then why all of the gloating about the decline of the Republican Party?

 

[Mr. Shaman]

OK, then why all of the gloating about the decline of the Republican Party?

'Cause, maybe they'll be so (much more) preoccupied with themselves, that the rest-of-us will finally get the opportunity to re-build our economy!!!

Of course, Priority 1 (for them), will be their future-plans to (once, again) rape The U.S. Treasury....but, there'll be a LOT more "newer"-voters, in the future, to help slap 'em back-under-their-rocks.​

Rape the US treasury?

Do you think the Democrats have put a stop to "raping the treasury? Do you really foresee balanced budgets any time soon with the Democrats holding all of the marbles?

Or, will growth of government be even worse than it was when the Republicans had all of the marbles?

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Rape the US treasury?

Yeah....ya' heard-about-it?​

Do you think the Democrats have put a stop to "raping the treasury? Do you really foresee balanced budgets any time soon with the Democrats holding all of the marbles?

It's been done......by the same people.​

 

[PLC1]

Clinton is not Obama, nor did he start out by increasing spending while a trillion dollar deficit was predicted. His final budget wasn't much more than the projected deficit for this fiscal year.
