18. I think that is really cool that he and his daughter
can enjoy time together reading a fun and fanciful tale like "Harry Potter". Now, THAT'S the kind of guy I could have a beer with!

Can you possibly imagine a guy like Dick Cheney doing the same thing if he had a 9 year old daughter? Impossible. He'd be too fucking adult, and Republican, and grey to do anything like that.

36. People as smart and capable as Obama frighten you & remind you of what a loser you are.
You're a pathetic little excuse for a man who prefers
to spend a lifetime nurturing revenge fantasies rather
than spend 5 minutes a day actually WORKING to overcome
the obstacles that keep you from being more than a
bootlicking little sycophant.

Obama started with LESS than you, and his success just
rubs your FAILURE in your face.
And you're not mature enough to deal with that.

Luckily for you, you live in a nation where LIBERALS
have insisted upon building infrastructure that provides
everyone with electricity and roads.
You sure as hell wouldn't have either on your own, and
CONSERVATIVES fought tooth and nail against them.

39. If you had half the brains needed to form such a response, you wouldn't be a Republican.
But hey, since you spend most of your free time indulging
in kindergarten-grade fantasy anyway...pretend you're
smart enough to say something to me, you pathetic little LOSER.

42. Yeah, yell "BAN DICKSTEELE" real loud, freeptard. That's gonna work.
Funny how you folks who run your mouths so much
about being "fiercly independent & self-sufficient"
are always so quick to RUN CRYING to the nearest
available power-holder when a peer fails to knuckle under
to your dumbassed bullying.

"MODS! DickSteele raised real questions about me; make him STOP!
And PUNISH him for actually thinking about what I said and responding
to it with questions I don't wanna answer, pretty please?"


You can't RESPOND to anything I said, so you wanna go crying about it.
"WHAAAA, won't some big strong someone enforce the RULES when
and where such enforcement fits my personal needs..."

You're not just mistaken in your opinions, you're a PATHETIC little
whining BITCH who looks for others for strength.
A simplistic little 2-D loser who thinks that he can just put "5.56"
in his username and instantly become a 'tough guy'. :rofl:


You need to take your dumbass notions back to study hall, BOY;
DemocraticUnderground is populated by thousands of REAL PEOPLE.
Being real, they all know that you are FAKE.

Being PEOPLE, they know that you are a blithering idiot.

Edited on Thu Oct-30-08 04:54 AM by dicksteele
Do you have the STONES to do the same?

No, you hide behind some childish "tough guy" nome-de-douchebaggery
to post your mispelled nonsense.

I'm Richard Steele, I'm an actual ADULT who stands behind
what he says, unlike the average mealy-mouthed little Repub
catchphrase-spouting web-poster who dreams of someday licking
Palin's sweaty boots.

I told you DU is full of real people- well I've met about 50 of them,
and I 'know' about a dozen...a dozen who know me by name in real life,
and a dozen who include 2 long-time DU Moderators.

You aren't MAN ENOUGH to post under your real name like I've
always done, are you?

Let alone post your real name and PHOTO...
This is me, you dumbass little shit-stain...
Richard Steele, in the flesh:



Yeah, I'm as better-looking than you as I am smarter.
Personally, I suspect those issues are not entirely unrelated.

34. This is the greatest for a parent and kid. I read the entire LOTR to my 9 yo son...
That was way before Harry Potter came on the scene. Now I have a 4 yo grandson and I read to him all the time. When he's old enough, we'll visit Hogwarts.... :D

Edited on Thu Oct-30-08 02:25 AM by ConsAreLiars
That's probably zero, in round numbers. McNutso will surely seize the time and send up an ad denouncing Obama as a devil worshiper and Satan incarnate as well as a commie Muslim terrorist (shh, he's also black!) Manchurian candidate. I'm sure his base will become even more enthusiastic.
