Better than the royal shaft.
Some of you are forgetting what got us into this rotten mess in the first place. The longtime policies of the Republicans and George Bush. They spent money like it was spewing out of a water faucet. (Yes, I edited this. I didn't like my original choice of words.) They left us with the worst economy since the Great Depression of the 1930s. And bogged down in the most prolonged and senseless war in the nation's history. So don't expect everything to be cleaned up and fixed overnight. It'll take a long time restoring America to something half-way decent again. Don't blame the Democrats for not solving our problems with the snap of the fingers. We're moving in the right direction. Not nearly as fast as I'd like to see. In part, because the (expletive edited) Republicans insist on being obstructionists. They'd like to wreck the USA even more. And blame it all on the Democrats. As if it was the Democrats' fault that this nation was sent reeling in the years the Republicans had control of congress and the presidency. Sure, the Democrats regained power late in 2008. A little more than a year ago. We haven't seen any miracles. But we've seen progress. A stemming of the downward spiral. But hey, it won't last if the Republicans are returned to power in 2010 or 2012. They'll resume the same old policies of bankrupting the nation and sending us off to incessant war. They'll allow greedy capitalists to reign unregulated. We need the reins put on American-style capitalism. We really need more and more socialism. We won't get enough of socialism under the Democrats. But at least we'll get some semblance of it. That's better than nothing. And certainly far better than what the Republicans would give us. The royal shaft. --Jim Broede

Maybe I allow Republicans to annoy me too much. To the point of using expletives in describing them. Swearing. Profanity. I don't do it in anger. More in annoyance. Because I think of many Republicans as the personification of evil. Anyway, I'm later sorry that I used the so-called bad words. Not very gentlemanly of me. But hey, better that than punching a Republican in the nose or kicking him in the shins. --Jim
I think of myself as a rascal. Because I rascal ain't all bad. --Jim
The last thing I'd ever want to be is a Republican. I can't think of anything more shameful, more humiliating, more degrading. --Jim
I gotta admit that I use something of a double standard in my blog. I allow myself a little more leeway than I allow others. After all, it is my blog. And I'm the one that has the final say. Better me than you. My guess is that if you had a blog, you'd do the same. --Jim
But I do edit myself. Sometimes, I regret my choice of words. And therefore, I edit. And I reprimand myself. For acting like some of you. --Jim
I think that bad manners tend to be contagious. Yes, it's a disease. But then again, good manners may be contagious, too. So most of the time, I genuinely try to practice good manners. --Jim
Thing is that good-mannered Republicans are few and far between. They seem to have been raised in barns. Not as elephants, as they are so often depicted. But as pigs. I have nothing against real swine. But Republican pigs -- well, they are very ill-mannered. They must be taught manners. And that ain't easy. Because their recalcitrant ways are firmly imbedded, ingrained. Deep, deep into their beings. It's a real, almost impossible challenge to cleanse a Republican. Such as Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. They are too far gone. Gone beyond retrieval. --Jim
I've been turned off by rats and cockroaches and Republicans. I've pretty much learned to accept rats and cockroaches as part of society. But I'm still working on Republicans. --Jim
