&lt;p&gt;perhaps he has taken to having his snits on other threads. this is fun, poking him with a stick every now and again, just to see if i can make him spout some more rhetoric he really doesn&amp;#39;t believe in.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;his recent replies to my comments have amounted to the literary equivalent of &amp;quot;OH YEAH?!?!?!?!&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;we await his return from lunch so i can give him a bad case of sour stomach, having to admit to being wrong again, and a headache that even alka-seltzer won&amp;#39;t help with by having to look up his own references on GOOGLE.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i wonder if the gasbag went to a no-smoking eatery, and i wonder if he tipped the poor worker waiter? probably not.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Joey the Republican</title><link>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/269595.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 05 Jan 2009 22:48:25 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:269595</guid><dc:creator>crazycajun</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/269595.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=22&amp;PostID=269595</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;well said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i wonder what has happened to our local resident republican, truefalse? he cannot say that he is a socialist, as his voting record speaks against him, showing him to be a liar. he cannot say that he is even a liberal democrat, as he has REFUSED ON PRINCIPLE to cast his vote for either one of them in this past election. perhaps the change that obama has promised is changing from democrat to republican.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i watched the pundits on the news channels today dance around the issue of the billions of dollars worth of tax cuts that obama is proposing, as if they didn&amp;#39;t exist. thank heaven for fox news.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;oh well.... it seems that truefalse is too afraid to really face the issues here, and is determined to keep silent. maybe he is suffering from apoplexy from the latest news and the most current scandals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;be ready...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Joey the Republican</title><link>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/269590.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 05 Jan 2009 17:24:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:269590</guid><dc:creator>uber-liberal</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/269590.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=22&amp;PostID=269590</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;hey trueblue/truefalse.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i&amp;#39;m glad you think that crazycajun and i are one in the same. it shows your liberal bias against the truth, and your paranoia against conservatives. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;now, as for staying on point, you started this thread with a fictional little missive about a day in the life of a republican. which was quickly drawn and quartered for the fiction that it was.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you then&amp;nbsp;made the rant that conservatism is dead... and then asked why.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you were soon instructed that conservatism was indeed alive and well, although apparently not in the majority anymore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you were also quickly shown that, according to your point of view, conservatism is the predominant method of government in the smaller towns .and cities around the state. only in the big (struggling) cities is liberalism rampant. you even went on to rant that the republican/conservative majority in the senate is seen by you as OBSTRUCTIONIST.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;one might agree, if a majority of LIBERAL LEGISLATION was even making it out of the house, but it isn&amp;#39;t.&amp;nbsp; it DOES seem that the democrat/liberal base in lansing can&amp;#39;t seem to get it&amp;#39;s poop in a group and rally behind the main ideas of liberalism, that being higher taxes and more government programs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;now, if YOUR OWN people can&amp;#39;t get the job done WITH A MAJORITY, then perhaps THEY don&amp;#39;t believe in the liberal ideals. YOU certainly don&amp;#39;t, voting conservative as you did. that would lead one to believe, rightly so, that LIBERALISM is taking it&amp;#39;s last gasps if it cannot even count on it&amp;#39;s stalwarts for support. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i bring to your attention the LIBERAL DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT ELECT today advising BILLIONS IN TAX CUTS in order to stimulate the economy. you, certainly see this as RE-DISTRIBUTIOH OF WEALTH by taking away wealth from the liberal government and allowing the paeons to keep it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;would you say that your president elect has FORSAKEN HIS LIBERAL ROOTS BY ADVOCATING A CONSERVATIVE TAX CUT? or would you say that YOUR PRESIDENT ELECT IS SIMPLY MAKING A CHANGE TO REPUBLICAN?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;either way, he has done what YOU have done, and switched sides in mid stream. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;a toast to our president elect for his CONSERVATIVE THINKING.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;HAVE A NICE DAY...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DIPWEED.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Joey the Republican</title><link>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/269588.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 05 Jan 2009 07:38:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:269588</guid><dc:creator>crazycajun</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/269588.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=22&amp;PostID=269588</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;you and sanemichigander both have the same I.P.

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;rdquo;&amp;hellip; PROFESS YOURSELF A LIBERAL SOCIALIST, YET YOU VOTE CONSERVATIVE CAPITOLIST?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I just love fortuitous and revealing spelling errors, whether they come of Freudian slips or wayward typing fingers!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The only &amp;ldquo;capitolists&amp;rdquo; I know are red neocons obsessed with gaining political power and establishing a centralized totalitarian government and state.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We&amp;rsquo;re kissing some of them good-bye (and we hope, good riddance) this month, thanks in part to enlightened voters, and in other part to the established progression of things.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We&amp;rsquo;ve made sure clones won&amp;rsquo;t step in, thanks to last November&amp;rsquo;s elections.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I do know many capitalists, and am one myself.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I generally like and even admire honest, upright capitalists.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;But &amp;ndash; and this is the old fashion conservative part of my nature at work -- they do have to earn my trust, good will, respect and admiration, as individuals.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;They do that by behaving honestly, civilly, and with a well developed sense of civic responsibility.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Oh, we may not always see exactly eye-to-eye on the details of how to resolve specific issues.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;But we actually do share core values in respect to living and civic matters.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;As a result, we usually can come to terms on things, after some give and take and honest discussion.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Call &lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE:normal;"&gt; &amp;ldquo;engaging in politics,&amp;rdquo; in the honorable sense of the phrase. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Of course the red neocon capitolists have made it tough on capitalists of modest means like me, while manipulating the system to line their fat-cat cronies&amp;rsquo; and their own pockets.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Their antics of recent years have sadly diminished my own net worth.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The red neocon capitolists also have diminished once constitutionally protected civil rights of ordinary citizens, as the paranoia and pessimistic insecurity of tyrants always leads them to do.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;That is a greater loss than material wealth.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It slashes right at the core of my beloved United States of America&amp;rsquo;s true greatness. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;But being a good old true blue American patriot (Air Force vet, conscientious voter-taxpayer, active tyrant-gooser) with good old red-blooded American values, I&amp;rsquo;ll keep working, see the mess created by the red neocon capitolists through, and come out OK in the end.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Negativism and obstructionism will be overcome.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Optimism will prevail, as it always has over the long haul in American history.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;BTW, I voted for optimism last November.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;And you can rest assured that my X was not placed in the box for same-old-same-old.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style="CLEAR:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;For your own reasons and true to your own principles, your vote is your own and you used it honestly and honorably.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As for the rest........well said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Joey the Republican</title><link>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/269574.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 04 Jan 2009 22:29:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:269574</guid><dc:creator>SaneMichigander</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/269574.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=22&amp;PostID=269574</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;rdquo;&amp;hellip; PROFESS YOURSELF A LIBERAL SOCIALIST, YET YOU VOTE
CONSERVATIVE CAPITOLIST?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I just love fortuitous and revealing spelling errors,
whether they come of Freudian slips or wayward typing fingers!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The only &amp;ldquo;capitolists&amp;rdquo; I know are red neocons obsessed with
gaining political power and establishing a centralized totalitarian government and state.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We&amp;rsquo;re kissing some of them good-bye
(and we hope, good riddance) this month, thanks in part to enlightened voters, and in other part to the established progression
of things.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We&amp;rsquo;ve made sure clones won&amp;rsquo;t step in, thanks to last November&amp;rsquo;s elections.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I do know many capitalists, and am one myself.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I generally like and even admire
honest, upright capitalists.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;But &amp;ndash;
and this is the old fashion conservative part of my nature at work -- they do
have to earn my trust, good will, respect and admiration, as individuals.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;They do that by behaving honestly,
civilly, and with a well developed sense of civic responsibility.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Oh, we may not always see exactly eye-to-eye on the details
of how to resolve specific issues.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;But we actually do share core values in respect to living and civic
matters.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;As a result, we usually
can come to terms on things, after some give and take and honest
discussion.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Call &lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal;"&gt; &amp;ldquo;engaging in politics,&amp;rdquo; in the honorable sense of
the phrase. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Of course the red neocon capitolists have made it tough on

pessimistic insecurity of tyrants always leads them to do.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;That is a greater loss than material
wealth.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It slashes right at the
core of my beloved United States of America&amp;rsquo;s true greatness. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;i have a hard time believing anything you say. why?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you lied to yourself, in fact you are STILL lying to yourself.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style="CLEAR:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Its not hard to figure out for any intelligent person, that I was true to myself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Its also quite obvious that you know I voted for McStupid because I told you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The only liar around here is you trying to use other screen names&amp;nbsp; and claiming its not you even after being caught.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your child-like mentality, while typical of conservatives,&amp;nbsp; is getting really boring.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your going to have to engage people with &amp;quot;smarts&amp;quot; to keep their interest.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;You have &amp;nbsp;just been a simpleton and a big distraction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yep,&amp;nbsp; what I say is true.....BLUE !!&amp;nbsp; ( and everyone can see it)&amp;nbsp; (and your blatant lies too)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You might want to stop,&amp;nbsp; you&amp;#39;ve made yourself look like a huge &amp;nbsp;fool&amp;nbsp;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
