No, it failed because of the Demopublican Repubicrats. They've
controlled Congress and the Presidency for at least 100 years. You
can't say that about any other party, especially not Republicans
(a.k.a. The Right Horn of Satan) and Democrats (a.k.a. The Left
Horn of Satan) separately.


LOL..the Republicans screwed it up.

The Democrats as usual are fixing the mess.

TMT


Yeah, you just keep telling yourself that. Delusions like that help
you get through the day, I'm sure.

TJ


Just compare the way things were when Clinton left office and the way
things were when Bush left office and the lesson should be clear.

While you're at it, don't forget to compare how things were when Carter
left office and when Johnson left office.

When are you guys gonna figure out that the party isn't what makes the
difference?

TJ



When they grow up.

And sadly, some people never grow up. Worst yet they pass on their
hates and prejudices to their kids. I know a "TMT like" person who
tells his kids that he doesn't care what they become when they grow up
"as long as it isn't a republican".

To me, it is VERY sad that some people (more than a lot of us think)
STILL judge people by their color, religious beliefs, party affiliation
and many other silly things. :(

Tell me again why the taxpayers are responsible for buying you a TV
converter?
TV is not a right, nor even a necessity. It is a luxury.

More US households (98.9%) have TV than have indoor toilets, so it's pretty
obvious that even poor people can find the money for TV.

So you call pushing the cutoff to June 12 'fixing'? Just how does that
constitute a 'fix'? I don't blaim any party in particular, just all
politicians in general.

He thinks the Democrats will keep pushing the date back until somebody
comes up with a way to make the digital signal "more robust" (his words,
not mine) so that everybody in the country can receive it with rabbit
ear antennas - or that they will dump the whole thing.

But in that post he was talking specifically about the coupon program.
In his mind, the Democrats "fixed" that. They did it in the usual manner
of politicians - they threw more money at it. It is, after all, the only
"solution" politicians of any party know.

Then I suppose it would be okay if they grew up to become Democratic
prostitutes.

Yup, these are the same people we hear about becoming involved in road
rage, bar fights, gang drive-by's, and a wide variety of other methods
intended to inflict pain or shame or otherwise demonize someone that is
considered beneath the abuser. It's a standard MO of military troops in
every corner of the planet and video games by the dozens. Monkey see,
monkey do.

No, it was the d**n POLITICIANS that screwed the program over.

Tell you what...why don't you pay the TRILLION dollar deficit and then
I will vote Republican.

Those who don't see that America just got screwed over by the
Republicans have a problem.

Because the Government is making BILLIONS off the PUBLIC airwaves.

And causing the obsolescence of millions of perfectly good
televisions.

If tomorrow the Government suddenly did something that made your car
obsolete and unable to run, would you want them to cover the cost of a
replacement?

And those (like YOU) who blame one party or one group for all this
country's problems are dumber than dog****.

TMT, you are a "throwback" to the 60s where some people hated people for
what they were (for example, what color, what religion). You are
nothing but a modern day version of a bigot!

Thankfully, the president is a LOT smarter than you and knows that
working together is the ONLY way that we are going to solve our
problems. Why can't YOU see that?
