Democrats say the damnedest things.....

You guys are just jealous.

Ya know....I've pondered choices & trade-offs we make in life.
Some go for the big bucks, & a trophy wife to make one's career.
Examples:
John Kerry married ketchup heiress, Teresa Heinz.
Bill Clinton married textile heiress, Hillary Burlap.

Ain't no amount of money to tempt me to trade places.
But the money is oh so lovely! Heull knows.

I can think of at least one difference. Anything the Bush administration did was 6 or more years ago.

How does that make what they did any less wrong?

Where exactly did I say anything about what they did, or that it was less wrong -- and how does the subject of anything done by the Bush administration fit in at all with the subject of this thread?

Biden exalts Obama's achievements in Iraq.....

I am very optimistic about -- about Iraq. I mean, this could be one of the great achievements of this administration. You're going to see 90,000 American troops come marching home by the end of the summer. You're going to see a stable government in Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government...

Sorry. I thought that's what you were implying. My mistake.

-- and how does the subject of anything done by the Bush administration fit in at all with the subject of this thread?

I myself never said it did.

I have noticed, though, that this thread is mostly about silly things Democrats say. Do you guys have any seriously dangerous things Democrats say -- stuff like Gays should be stoned? You know, stuff like Republicans say?

We need only examine my recent post about Biden's justifying our continued misadventures
in mid-east wars, & underestimating the carnage while overestimating the results. Contrast
this realized danger with Perry's remark, which will never become policy in Americastan.
Perry seems silly in comparison.

Uh....never?

What we need is a political comprising rulebots, polibots & bureaubots.

Not really true. You have to go to the top of the party. As long as the Koch's control the republican party, there is no equivalence on the left.

As a child, his mother told him to eat his vegetables or the Koch Bros would
climb out from under his bed to put their dirty dirty money in his pockets.
George Bush hid in his closet too, waiting for children to misbehave.

Even statues weren't safe from him.

Regardless of any thoughts to the contrary, the ridiculous idea of both political parties being equally culpable for our nation's falling from grace, is sadly ignorant.
It is simple and demonstrable reality that the hard right conservative zealotry grown (like a cancer) over the last 35 years, from within the republican party, is much more responsible than any other source of damage our country has suffered. There is no true equivalency....only false equivalency.

Sorry to derail the funny thread. Carry on with the silliness.

This is a straw man truism, since no one here is quantifying culpability to the extent that "equal" would apply.
I don't even know which party to blame more. I just see a plethora of puerility on both sides.

After Climate Change Speech, Obama Jets to Palm Springs for Golf

President Barack Obama arrived in Palm Springs, California on Saturday via Air Force One to spend Father's Day playing golf. Hours earlier, he had lectured graduating students at University of California, Irvine, about the need to "do something" about climate change, mocking those who questioned that policy goal.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) encourages reducing unnecessary air travel to minimize carbon dioxide emissions.

:

The golfing trip to Palm Springs is Obama's second so far this year. In February, he golfed in Palm Springs after delivering a speech in the drought-stricken Central Valley about his efforts to help affected farmers. He moved a meeting with Jordan's King Abdullah to Palm Springs instead of Washington, D.C. to facilitate his golfing trip.
