Some lying liar left a printout on my desk.
It was in the shape of a blue bumper sticker. It said...

Whatever you believe
I do too!
John Kerry 2004


Nobody will own up to it, because they know I'll tear them a new asshole! How can union members be such Bush-Moonies????:puke:

4. A suggestion
Keep in mind how many won't get the message and just "think" (if you can call it thinking) that you are telling them to vote for Bush.

How about this:

Believe What I Tell You
Don't Think For Yourself
Bush won in 2000

5. Standard right wing poultry feces maneuver
Throw it away and think nothing more of it. The person isn't worth your time or energy. Keep smacking down their bullshit, and someday one of them will cop to it if his brain ever clanks into gear.

But it's like shooting fish in a barrel, isn't it?

I predict the next chickenshit maneuver will be to say that Kerry is "French-looking," whatever in hell that means. Be prepared with a couple of printouts from the "Bush or Chimp?" website.

31. 3 suggested printouts to use as replies.
First:

Kerry promised to veto McCain-Feingold, then he signed it.

Kerry opposed the creation of the 9/11 Commission, then he took credit for creating it.

Kerry opposed the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, then he took credit for creating it.

Kerry opposed extending the deadline of the 9/11 Commission, then he took credit for extending it.

Oh, wait a minute. That was Bush.


Second:

The entire world knows that Bush is the most compulsive and incessant liar in the history of American politics.

Bush claims that John McCain has an illegitimate Negro daughter and said he would veto McCain-Feingold and the yawning boy was not there and was not yawning and besides he was standing some place else and Richard Clarke had complete access to Bush and Rice which proves that Clarke was out of the loop which is Clinton's fault but Clarke briefed the press on background about Bush fighting terrorism which means that unnamed White House sources may not be identified even when Bush wants to and even though everyone except Bush himself knows where he was during his National Guard service which was after he volunteered to go to Viet Nam but before he was no longer required to take a flight physical and about the same time that God ordered Bush to smite Saddam it was Clinton's fault that Bush did not show up for duty because the 60 lines of embryonic stem cells and more arsenic in the water and more mercury in the air prove that republican science is better than sound science and the Bush administration did not illegally conspire to illegally reveal the identity of a covert CIA operative which resulted in 2 million new jobs being created because democrats support terrorism and are not good Americans just as the Jews were not good Germans which is why Bush said he would veto the creation of both the Department of Homeland Security and the 9/11 Commission but now claims credit for their creation and the White House is cooperating with the 9/11 Commission which is why the White House withheld documents and called the republicans on the Commission before Clarke testified and why the White House is not coordinating the attacks on the integrity and bipartisanship of the Commission since the dental xrays prove that Bush spoke with the CIA director everyday and did not ignore either the repeated warnings of the dangers of al Qaeda and Osama or the August 2001 intelligence briefing specifically warning of the upcoming 9/11 attacks because the United States is a nation with a mission and that mission is to bring freedom to every single person in the world which will cut the deficit in half if you do not count those parts of the deficit which will increase under Bush which is Clinton's fault but the boxes from China were labeled "Made in USA" which resulted in 2.6 million new jobs being created even though the $400 billion decorative Medicare turkey was not labeled $550 billion and was passed without bribery or criminal deception which proves that government spending under Bush has gone down if you do not count the increased government spending under Bush which is Clinton's fault and Bush's plane to Baghdad was spotted because before Saddam bought the uranium and became an urgent but not an imminent threat which is Clinton's fault Bush had no plans on his desk to invade Iraq since the invasion was not planned before Bush took office even though it was the subject of his first national security council meeting and in December 2001 when plans for the invasion were being finalized Bush said he was focused on the military operations in Afghanistan and then the aircraft carrier was too far offshore for the Navy to make a large enough "Mission Accomplished" banner to describe the WMD we have found in Iraq some of which Saddam was giving to Osama for following Saddam's plans and using Iraqi hijackers on 9/11 which is Clinton's fault but everyone who pays income taxes got a tax cut which created 3 million new jobs and allowed Iraqi oil revenue to pay for the cost of the reconstruction of Iraq after the invasion by a small number of troops who would be greeted with floral program related activities except for the dead and wounded troops who are being brought home secretly which is Clinton's fault since Bush is the one who hugs the mothers and the widows and the wives and the kids and since Bush does not watch television news he did not know about the republican torture pranks occurring in Iraq until he saw the pictures on the television news and that is why Bush who will use the jawbone of an ass to force OPEC to open the spigots and who is responsible for good economic numbers but not bad economic numbers which are Clinton's fault wrote the poem that he did not write blaming Laura for dropping the dog.

There is no subject so somber, serious, or shallow that Bush will not lie about it. The only other option is not to lie. And that apparently is something Bush can not do.

Ridiculing Bush for his compulsive and incessant lying needs to become common.

FIRE THE LIAR




Third:

BUSH DISARMED THIS IRAQI

41. This is harrassment.
Stalking.

Go to your HR department and demand the company
put a stop to it.

Or ask them, since you don't know who is doing it,
if you can display your own political messages in
the break room.

They'll get on it, hop too, especially if you
intimate that you know a really good lawyer.

44. Just because you don't take this seriously doesn't mean
a damn thing. Maybe you should do a little bit of
homework before spouting off? Some subjects, like
religion, are taboo in the work setting. Given the
current political environment . . .

Why else would the offender leave the messages
anonymously? (Aside from the fact that most conservatives
are bully cowards.)

51. That's a little personal, isn't it?
Personal and professional are two different spheres.

Seriously, if this person really wants to stop this nonsense,
they have to take proactive steps, including letting HR
know that the whole thing is going to get out of control if
steps aren't taken right away, that "if this practice is not
a problem, then thank you very much, I have my own messages
to spread."

Let those people earn their money.

Anyhow...Kaity, thanks for the concern and advice, but it's really not necessary at my place. It's a Union shop and we only snitch to higher ups for real problems. I'm a big boy, and this knuckledragger doesn't scare me, or his silly little jabs at my candidate. I can't play the game in the real political arena if I can't handle some dipshit at work, right? :-)

53. You're welcome, I think.
I like a little good banter every once in a while. :evilgrin:

So, do you know who the knuckedragger is now? I was just
wondering how you will you get your messages across.
I kind of agree that this isn't 'serious' enough to take
to HR, except that if you plan to ratchet up the battle,
it could lead to a serious problem. You don't know how
imbalanced these FReeper types are, especially if they
think they're losing.

I just think it's wise to give a heads up. You know how in
a basketball game, it's always the second guy who throws a
punch who gets thrown out? The refs never see the first blow.

That's all.

58. Here ya go...............
I live in an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week with each person getting equal time in power but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major matters.

60. Interesting lifestyle.
Please draw the connection between what you say I don't
get about the "anarcho-syndicalism" and how it relates to
the idea that the company should be clued in that there's
a potential problem in its workforce.

(I know, I know, sometimes I can be very literal.)

ARTHUR: I-- what?
DENNIS: I'm thirty-seven. I'm not old.

ARTHUR: The Britons.
WOMAN: Who are the Britons?
ARTHUR: Well, we all are. We are all Britons, and I am your king.
WOMAN: I didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective.
DENNIS: You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship: a self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes--
WOMAN: Oh, there you go bringing class into it again.
DENNIS: That's what it's all about. If only people would hear of--
ARTHUR: Please! Please, good people. I am in haste. Who lives in that castle?
WOMAN: No one lives there.

ARTHUR: Then who is your lord?
WOMAN: We don't have a lord.
ARTHUR: What?
DENNIS: I told you. We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week,...
ARTHUR: Yes.
DENNIS: ...but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting...
ARTHUR: Yes, I see.
DENNIS: ...by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs,...
ARTHUR: Be quiet!
DENNIS: ...but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major--
ARTHUR: Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!
WOMAN: Order, eh? Who does he think he is? Heh.
ARTHUR: I am your king!
WOMAN: Well, I didn't vote for you.
ARTHUR: You don't vote for kings.
WOMAN: Well, how did you become King, then?
ARTHUR: The Lady of the Lake,...

...her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that I, Arthur, was to
carry Excalibur.

That is why I am your king!
DENNIS: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a
mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
ARTHUR: Be quiet!
DENNIS: Well, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
ARTHUR: Shut up!
DENNIS: I mean, if I went 'round saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
ARTHUR: Shut up, will you? Shut up!
DENNIS: Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system.
ARTHUR: Shut up!
DENNIS: Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm being repressed!
ARTHUR: Bloody peasant!
DENNIS: Oh, what a give-away. Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about. Did you see him repressing me? You saw it,
didn't you?

No. I'm doing all the work here, and it is starting
