Comments for Noises Off: Democratic Candidates are No-Shows for Mukasey Vote at http://chris-floyd.com , comment 1 to 36 out of 20 comments http://chris-floyd.com Sun, 05 Jul 2009 02:10:01 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://chris-floyd.com/component/content/3/1347-noises-off-democratic-candidates-are-no-shows-for-mukasey-vote.html#comment-5752 That's a good idea, Chris. Write about bad movies or something. It'll give you something to do until it's time to tow the pwoggie line. A hobby of sorts. Remember all that bluster on the pwoggie blogs in '04? How it all turned into 'hold your nose and vote for Kerry' crap a couple months before the election? Why waste time with thud and blunder nobody believes for a second anyway? Everyone pwogs will vote the party line and send their check in to MoveOn or the PDA or what-the-fuck-ever useless pwoggie dipshit org is the flavor of the month. Why knock yourself out? - AlanSmithee Mon, 12 Nov 2007 20:20:31 +0100 http://chris-floyd.com/component/content/3/1347-noises-off-democratic-candidates-are-no-shows-for-mukasey-vote.html#comment-5748 Alan Smithee, what ghost are you chasing with that comment? The ghost of some fabricated Kossack that you have mistaken for Mr Floyd or the majority of those who comment here? Or did you read Big Dan's comment and believe that came from Mr Floyd? Or what? Normally I agree with Smithee on his complaints about the "pwoggies" because he's usually correct on them. But this time he seems to have confused Mr Floyd with the "pwoggies" and I don't see the track record to support the accusation when it's levelled against Chris Floyd. - The Wendigo Mon, 12 Nov 2007 14:39:42 +0100 http://chris-floyd.com/component/content/3/1347-noises-off-democratic-candidates-are-no-shows-for-mukasey-vote.html#comment-5745 A good rusty can of bud wiser to you. It's left over from the war I saved. So-get off line from readog Kos-sip. You read 'cause ya's care. A dog eat it's own upchucked vomit- yuck. - Arthur James Mon, 12 Nov 2007 13:38:26 +0100 http://chris-floyd.com/component/content/3/1347-noises-off-democratic-candidates-are-no-shows-for-mukasey-vote.html#comment-5744 Oh yeah man, DKos has such a great influence on me, it's a well-known historical fact that this blog takes its marching orders from the Orange Leader himself. We're tight, you know, Kos and me, real good buds. He says jump, I say, how high? What else can I do, being so gutless and all? I mean, I've certainly not been denouncing Bush – and the Democrats – for years on end, in public forums, in print, on line, all over the world, using my own real name instead of a cutesy moniker, putting my livelihood on the line, getting threats against my life, my children, weirdos staking out my parents' home, etc etc. No, I've just been cowering in the corner, waiting for Kos and Josh to give me instructions. Sure, I've been railing againt Hillary Clinton over and over here, but yeah, I'd say by Christmas I will definitely be on board the Clinton express. Hell, I've [i]already [/i]forgotten who Mukasey is; wasn't he the dad on Everybody Loves Raymond? You're right; I should just give up this politics stuff and spend my time writing about, oh, say, "sucky" horror films or something. That's abso-tootly-ootly part of the hard work we should all be doing to change things, if we weren't all just gutless automatons following the pwoggie line. - Chris Floyd Mon, 12 Nov 2007 10:13:28 +0100 http://chris-floyd.com/component/content/3/1347-noises-off-democratic-candidates-are-no-shows-for-mukasey-vote.html#comment-5742 No, really. So-the-fuck-what? TPM & DKo$ & the rest of the pwoggie blogs still have a year to sell you on 'the lesser evil' and, as everyone know, you'll buy it in the end. Shit, by Christmas you won't even remember who Mukasey [i]is.[/i] Maybe New Years, tops Besides, you don't have a choice in the matter and you [i]certainly[/i] don't have the guts to do the hard work. Why not write about cars or celebrities or something? Keep yourself occupied until it's time to vote for Hillary, and you [i]will[/i] vote for Hillary, there's abso-tootly-ootly no doubt about that. - AlanSmithee Mon, 12 Nov 2007 02:39:54 +0100 http://chris-floyd.com/component/content/3/1347-noises-off-democratic-candidates-are-no-shows-for-mukasey-vote.html#comment-5735 I guess you are sad that you sent last foulest penny to help the politicians kill? Don't remortgage the outhouse. Politicians and the Press bloody stink. - Arthur James Sun, 11 Nov 2007 11:12:53 +0100 http://chris-floyd.com/component/content/3/1347-noises-off-democratic-candidates-are-no-shows-for-mukasey-vote.html#comment-5732 Dan, you need to read a few things before you continue on in this Quixotic venture of yours.

Big Dan is wrong about this. But that won't ever sink in with Big Dan. He's too convinced that the Democrats are worth voting for. He's too busy trying to help the DLC and DNC get more votes. He really ought to be hanging out at Daily Kos, where his arguments would be greeted with flowers, applause and leftovery Halloween candy. - The Wendigo Sun, 11 Nov 2007 02:06:28 +0100 http://chris-floyd.com/component/content/3/1347-noises-off-democratic-candidates-are-no-shows-for-mukasey-vote.html#comment-5729 In our latest episode of Congressional Kabuki, the Vichy Whores inadvertantly exposed the truth: we live in an horrific dictatorship of plutocratic psychotics. That so many people still believe in the high-paid shills in Congress, is profoundly comic to me. On all of the other "progressive" or "liberal" blogs, so many play the endless circle jerk game, whistling in the dark, spinning endless webs of futile Machiavellian speculation about their darling Dems' imitation of governance. They pretend the Democrats really embrace the Bill of Rights, hate Imperialistic warcrimes, and want to restore responsible government to "the people", and are just biding their time until the next election cycle to perform miracles. Meanwhile, EVERY DAY, their faces get ground into the fact that the Democratic party have enabled the elimination of every right we have, while protecting the criminals who shred them, and have voted to continue the Iraq genocide and expand it to Iran. Now, they have just approved an AG who embraces presidential "absolutism" and State-run torture, but were unable to override a veto to expand health insurance for the children of the middle class, that same group that is the Dems' strongest base. But they still look hopefully to 2008, the present being unbearable, for the world to be created anew, and a glorious dawn of Freedom to be ushered in by those same people who lie in our faces on an hourly basis, who are unable to give relief to the 100,000 displaced Katrina victims, or address any national crisis in any productive, or even sane, way. Chris is one of the very few, to tell it as it really is: America, as we know it, has been destroyed, and only the people themselves can restore it. Wendigo, I support your excellent idea, BTW. GO FOR IT! And I think everyone here would agree with me. I hope they check out your site. - Sheila S Hamlett Waller Sat, 10 Nov 2007 19:30:00 +0100 http://chris-floyd.com/component/content/3/1347-noises-off-democratic-candidates-are-no-shows-for-mukasey-vote.html#comment-5727 The 2 Dems in committe voting for torture were Schumer & Feinstein...who's husband is making $$$ off the war...and Schumer is a two-face bastard! - Big Dan Sat, 10 Nov 2007 18:06:15 +0100 http://chris-floyd.com/component/content/3/1347-noises-off-democratic-candidates-are-no-shows-for-mukasey-vote.html#comment-5726 Here's the votes: In committee, Democrats voted for Mukasey 2-8, Republicans in committee voted 9-0. That's 11-8 to send it for full vote. 2 traitorous Democrats, and 100% lockstep Republican Party traitors 9-0. Then the full vote was: Democrats for Mukasey 6-40, Republicans 47-0 for Mukasey. 6 traitorous Democrats and 100% Nazi lockstep Republicans 47-0. With, as you say, 4 non-vote Democrats (which is just as bad as the traitorous 6). My point is this: No one even MENTIONS 47-0 entire GOP!!! Because we EXPECT the GOP to vote for torture!!! The 6 4 Dems are getting crucified everywhere (which they should) in the CMSM, internet, everywhere...and the 47-0 GOP'ers no one says anything...because we "expect" them to vote this way??? Well, that's not OK!!! By me!!! - Big Dan Sat, 10 Nov 2007 18:04:28 +0100 http://chris-floyd.com/component/content/3/1347-noises-off-democratic-candidates-are-no-shows-for-mukasey-vote.html#comment-5724 How could it be that I, out here in fly-over land, with a full-time job not as a senator, and two kids that keep me quite busy in my non-job-working hours, knew days ahead of time that the vote was going to be taken and the probable day it would happen? This excuse really takes the cake. - lmab Sat, 10 Nov 2007 15:53:10 +0100 http://chris-floyd.com/component/content/3/1347-noises-off-democratic-candidates-are-no-shows-for-mukasey-vote.html#comment-5723 Then please take a moment to consider what I'm proposing here: [url]http://cbfz.blogspot.com/2007/11/modest-proposal.html[/url] - The Wendigo Sat, 10 Nov 2007 15:28:24 +0100 http://chris-floyd.com/component/content/3/1347-noises-off-democratic-candidates-are-no-shows-for-mukasey-vote.html#comment-5722 dell would like us to believe that Harry Reid is almighty and can prevent the world from knowing things -- or at least his fellow Congressmen -- but that Josh Marshmallow and his cadre of DNC/DLC dupes can get the true story? Give me a phukkin' break, dell. Really. You and Josh "Total Piss Management" Micro Marshmallow are pathetically deluded and you are bending over backward to "rescue" your noble and saintly heroes by blaming it all on Harry Reid. Please, go try that gambit at Daily Kos. Please. - The Wendigo Sat, 10 Nov 2007 14:49:58 +0100 http://chris-floyd.com/component/content/3/1347-noises-off-democratic-candidates-are-no-shows-for-mukasey-vote.html#comment-5721 del- checked out the link, chased a few more, you are right, this is more shadows on the wall of the cave... The Dems are killing time playing image defence with the Repugs, "We do [i][/i]too[i][/i] support the troops!" Time is not all that is being killed. - Donald L. Smith Sat, 10 Nov 2007 08:19:49 +0100 http://chris-floyd.com/component/content/3/1347-noises-off-democratic-candidates-are-no-shows-for-mukasey-vote.html#comment-5719 According to Greg Sargent's reporting at www.tpmelectioncentral.com, Reid set the schedule so late that the four candidates out in the field couldn't get back in time for the roll-call-vote--and Reid wouldn't hold the vote until they could get back. Since there was to be no filibuster, since the 60-votes-to-pass caper that the Repubs play all the time wasn't going to be invoked, since the deal was to rush Mukasey through in exchange for a deal to pass the military appropriations bill without Iraq funding, and since the four were already known "no" votes, their presence or absence really didn't make a whit of difference. That's sad to say, but that's the way it was. For this, blame Reid, and the way he chose to play his cards--not the candidates. I am surprised--I thought people from Nevada were better card players than that (some are!). For this, don't blame the candidates; there's plenty else to blame/chastise them for. - Wendell Bell Sat, 10 Nov 2007 06:47:28 +0100 http://chris-floyd.com/component/content/3/1347-noises-off-democratic-candidates-are-no-shows-for-mukasey-vote.html#comment-5718 I pretend to be all up in arms about this shit, but I can't even mention one thing about impeachment.
