i LOVE DU.

[Soylent Brice]

i mean that. really.

i LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE this place.

i have spent the last 2 hours arguing via email with a pal of mine. he's hard core republican, but a huge pothead. ironic, isn't it. (i know, i know, "why are you friends with him then?" all i can say is that he's a cool dude until you bring up politics. it's complicated.)

he has been throwing everything he can at me trying to tear Obama down. were it not for the treasure trove of info that you all have tirelessly researched and/or shared i would have spent days debunking his goofy ass. the DU search function is PRICELESS.

it was by far the best smackdown i have ever provided.

i

love

you

DU.

1. And they don't even know how you know so much

I have utilized DU in the past to take down fundies.

6. his head is SPINNING.

i can't stop laughing.

[valerief]

2. Yeah, well, he's got Max Baucus on his side. We've got shit. nt

3. Good for you

I don't even try with wingnuts any longer. I've lost a couple of friends because I won't put up with their crap.

I love DU, too.

7. i normally don't bother either, but he struck a cord with me.

i kept hearing the Mortal Kombat,

"FINISH HIM"

echo in my head. i was charged up.

4. It's why I joined up

And why I stay even though sometimes I want to throw the refrigerator at it. But even True Love has it's moments

[Soylent Brice]

13. that sums it up for me as well.

of course, i just fling rubber bands at the screen.

5. nothing ironic about a republican smoking pot

national review, the so called "flagship" of the conservative movement, has been pro-pot legalization/decrim for DECADES

i know plenty of pro pot repubs.

and some of our democratic politicians, to include clinton, have been AT LEAST as bad if not worse than the average repub on the war on drugs.

this is not a repub/dem issue.

fwiw, i am a cop. a LOT of cops i work with are both republican AND pro decrim of pot. and it's not because they smoke it. they just think the law is dumb

i know a DEA agent who is also pro legalization.

it's not a partisan issue.

[hfojvt]

17. yes I finally found this link

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4926451

I am waiting to pull it out when the M$M says "Sotomayor confirmed after contentious vote" when the vote is 72-28. Just like they turned Bush's 78-22 into "overwhelming support" I am betting that they will convert a 70-30 vote into a total squeaker, like it was a 51-50 vote.
