All-Purpose Republican Bashing Thread

[Stretch15]

We have a Books thread, a Music thread, a Hockey thread (two actually) and a Soccer thread which are very popular.

Moddies - how does a All-Purpose Republican Bashing Thread sound?

It would make a lot of sense to consolidate all of the political venom on this board into one solitary thread - a one-stop shopping place for everybody and their uncle to criticize everybody in and everything about the GOP, without cluttering up the board with so many different threads.

We can even set up an All-Purpose Democratic Bashing Thread so that everybody is fairly represented.

I think it should just be a "All-Purpose Politician Bashing Thread."

I thought about that Inky, but why limit it to politicians when a lot of bashing deals with party principles and platforms?

Excellent idea.....Stretch, would you consider changing the thread title to "Fenian's playpen"?

Great idea Ashy - if that's what it takes get rid of multiple political threads, then I'm all for it.

Fenian's Playpen, Pelosi's Playpen, Clinton's Clubhouse...we could go any number of ways!

How about "Friends of Fredo"?

How about the "They're all power-hungry, money-grubbing whores more concerned with their personal agendas than helping their constituents or doing what's best for the nation and not a damn one of them is a true statesman" thread?

So you prefer one thread to bash both Dems and Repubs?

Nah - I think we'll keep that one for the Democratic thread...

Find me one statesman from either party and I'll support him/her. Otherwise, every politician in both parties deserves scorn.

Funny....I thought SportsJournalists.com was one big Republican-bashing board.

Not with you here.

 

[Football_Bat]

Naaaahhhhh.

Shooting fish in a barrel.

I can't.

 

[Ben_Hecht]

This is a political-asshole-bashing board.

The magic slippers surely are fitting many of the GOP darlings, at this point . . .

 

[spnited]

No need for us to bash the Republicans. They're all doing a fine job of bashing and blaming each other.

The rats are abandoning the sinking ship:

stretch --

There's 3,000 dead Americans and 655,000 dead Iraqis, all over a big fat bull**** lie. And many more to come. Believe it or not, there are people who are responsible for this. Wake up and smell the coffee, acknowledge the enormity of the times in which you live.

Journalists discussing current events -- nope, we won't be having none of that.

 

[Ace]

No thanks. I will let the New Republic and Washington Times bash the Republicans for me.

They're doing a pretty good job these days.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

All I am suggesting is consolidating these many different political-based threads into one. Go back and check my original post. Never did I see stop talking about politics, never did I say end the bashing.

I am fully aware of the enormity of the times we're living in. So instead of telling me to wake up & smell the coffee, I suggest you read other people's posts more carefully before you start bashing.

 

[Ashy Larry]

Maybe it would be easier to change the board name from "Anything goes" to "Politics".

see ya.
