Don't Republicans remind you of the little jerks you wanted to smack in Junior High School?

[devilgrrl]

What a bunch of petulant children.

BTW, I'm reacting to the thread about the Florida state official sarcastically referring to Obama as "the messiah".

What a snot.

[GreenPartyVoter]

1. Wanna bet they _are_those little jerks, all "grown up?"

[devilgrrl]

5. You have a point there!

I wouldn't be surprised if Laura Ingraham spent her school days making her classmates lives miserable!

[HowHasItComeToThis]

6. I KEEP TELLING MY SPOUSE THAT THEY NEVER GOT BEAT UP AS A KID

8TH GRADE JUSTICE FOR 8TH GRADERS

[rfranklin]

15. Actually, she was the club bicycle....everybody rode her!

Isn't she the one with photos of her splayed legs splashed all over the internet?

[Lilith Velkor]

10. A lot of DUers identify with bullies

I never thought I'd see the day you did. :thumbsdown:

What a depressing way to start the weekend. Everybody feel free to flame away, I'll see you all in the funny papers.

[GreenPartyVoter]

11. Sorry. I was tormented for 12 straight years. No, 13 if you count Head Start. I am

_still_ damaged from it.

Yeah, maybe they were just kids and "kids will be kids" after all, but the constant name-calling, having rocks thrown at me, getting thrown on the ground and spit in the face, being forced to take off my pants and underwear under threat of being whipped with a blackberry bramble, being chased down with an ATV... these things are are hard to get over.

As to the kids who did this stuff, I am sure many of them grew up to eventually be nice people but I also know for a fact that some certainly did not. Either way, I still can't look them in the eye when I run into them in the store.

Now if some DUers identify with bullies, meaning that they _were_ bullies, I applaud them for working through that and becoming nicer people. And if that is the case I'll apologize if my remark upset them. Hopefully they made many apologies of their own to their victims at some point or another. Not one person who ever did that stuff to me ever said _anything_, even after all these years. Have they forgotten they did that stuff or are they just too ashamed to admit it? I probably will never know.

[Webster Green]

12. WTF?!

Wow, lighten up a little! :smoke:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

14. A lot of DUers identify with loser nerds.

[devilgrrl]

18. You mean DUer's like you?

:thumbsdown:

Enjoy your depressing weekend.

:hi:

[Bluebear]

2. They ARE the same jerks, dimes to donuts.

[BOSSHOG]

3. Strange, I thought ronald reagan was the messiah

talk about mindless worship!

[jedr]

4. they are the little jerks from High School..all grown up!....n/t

[JohnnyBoots]

7. They are a bunch of Alex P. Keatons!

[gratuitous]

8. I seem to recall that Alex would apologize from time to time

After getting in over his head, Alex would at least 'fess up. Sure, he'd go out and get in trouble again, that being the nature of a sitcom and all, but he often acknowledged that he had fucked up. Asshats like our Dear Lady Friend in Florida think they're doing God's Own Work, and never apologize for anything.

[JohnnyBoots]

9. You're probably right. Last time I saw that show I think I was 8.Not too savvy on politics back then

[YOY]

13. They think we're playing tit for tat.

And they they are obligated to act like we did during Bush's time in office.

They really have no idea how much of a fuck up the majority of the population realizes Bush is/was.

[Initech]

16. No shit.

True story - I found out this one bully at school's parents were hard-core GOP freaks when they tried to solicit votes for Dole. Been anti-Republican ever since.

[Canuckistanian]

17. Here's one I'd like to smack

There's still time to save THIS one from a life of greed, insensitivity and bad metaphors....

[YOY]

24. Who the heck is that?

The littlest pundit of them all?

[Canuckistanian]

27. THAT is Jonathan Krohn, newest conservative spokesbrat

Here he is at CPAC....

[madrchsod]

19. yup...the pricks who got away with everything ...

because their parents drove Buicks and Oldsmobiles

[onethatcares]

20. hey, my dad drove Oldsmobiles and that remark doesn't

describe him at all.

Oldsmobiles were some damn good looking/running automobiles. Especially the Dynamic 88s. Try to find one from 1965 and you'll see what I mean.

BTW, my dad was UAW labor.

[Echo In Light]

21. Those types get away with everything cause many people enable them through indifference and/or envy

Sad but true. They With The Most, Wins, and the corporate culture conditions people toward exalting that particular ideology's set of "values."

[Nay]

22. Well, no. They remind me of bullies in HS -- both the rich ones who

loved to push people around and buy their way through life, and the poorer dumber ones who just liked to beat people up, period.

[havocmom]

23. More like the kids I beat with my lunch bucket in grade school

when their constant racial slurs finally brought one of my dear little pals to hysterical sobbing.

And, no, I have no remorse from dealing out some immediate lessons and justice on the playground that day.

[lib2DaBone]

25. The little "passive/agressive" bullies who stole your pen....

Then they claim... "I didn't take your pen".

They are usually the little bullies who take you pen.. then when you go and smack them in the face to get your pen back.. they cry to mommy.

Mommy then calls the school officials who bend over backwards to protect the little sociopaths... who will later go on the become a Columbine Shooter. (or a U.S. Senator)

These are your Republicans. Snotty little fuckers you always wanted to punch in the face. (if you had a chance)

[Taking Our Country]

26. republicans are assholes

They pay us the less then tell us to go home. The rich ones are better to us because they know how hard we work compared to lazy Americans. Wish things pick up so we get better work.
