Trolly Moly, Batman!

It's 5:35 on the East Coast and what that means is that a whole lot of Donks who usually work as Street Prophets are just getting home and finding out how badly their homeboy John Kerry screwed the pooch today.
And that means that for the rest of the night, we're going to be listening to them get drunk, establish fake usernames, and act like mobys and wasteoids. My advice is to do a big culling tomorrow morning. By then there will be thousands of them.
In anticipation of the elections, whether the GOP loses or, as is increasingly likely, keeps both Houses, I've directed the contributing editors to carry out a new "whack a troll" policy. We'll be on the lookout for trolls, mobies, and flagrant abusers of our site policies. We'll be much, much less tolerant of new users than long time site users. Likewise, we'll depend on good folks like Mr. Kowalski and others to flag the abusers so we can send them to The Pile.
For the management,

"The Road To Freedom Is Seldom Traveled By The Multitude" Madhouse Thought

...it might as well be now, while I'm laughing at you idiots.
Kerry just cost us the election? Oh really? You think all the fake outrage you've ginned up over this is going to be enough to make people forget about why they want you out of Congress in the first place?
Okay. First of all, your hypocrisy is showing. It's way too obvious that you know what Kerry really meant, but don't care in your rush to have an orgasm over the political implications of it all. Even Dick Armey knows it all pretend.
Secondly, it's really funny to see diary after diary here about Kerry, a guy who's NOT EVEN RUNNING FOR ELECTION THIS YEAR, and how it all means somehow the Democrats will now go down in flames because a veteran who graduated from an Ivy League school made a comment that can be construed to sound like he thinks all servicemen are uneducated and stupid. So he thinks that he's uneducated and stupid?
Third, do we really need to compare and contrast with all the Bush verbal gaffes? How about that gem where he said "we can't win the war on terror" back in '04? Or there's always "Nobody could've anticipated the breach of the levees". People have written entire books full of these.
Fourth, whatever will you do when the next news cycle comes along and people remember how much your party screwed up Iraq again? You see, there's a reason that people recognize being "stuck in Iraq" as the punchline to a joke. (Or as part of an insult, if you wish to construe it that way.)
You people are just pathetic. Still clinging to your little grudge against Kerry for protests he made over 30 years ago. You'll develop your little grudges over this war too, and it'll keep your sad little minds filled with hate for another few decades. You have to pity anyone whose biggest political triumph is to successfully swiftboat someone.
Hasta la vista, baby! I've never enjoyed writing a GBCW post as much as this one.
to pronounce you banned, which you undoubtedly will be for your purpose is not to debate but to sneer, but I will address one point. You say that it is meaningless because Kerry is not running this year. He is, however, campaigning. He campaigned for a man who for two decades refused to shake his hand over what he did thirty years ago. In Webb's case, how is this likely to go over when his entire campaign centers on his self-portrait as a man 'born fighting' (since he doesn't have stated positions, much less legislative experience, on most of the domestic policy issues of import to Americans)? How is he going to woo Red State voters, particularly the ex-military that constitute such a significant percentage of the NoVa constituency, when the Allen campaign will probably air an ad tomorrow showing him campaigning with Kerry? They will porray Webb as having sold his soul to the Democratic Party essentially over the issue of the Iraq War, and Kerry's stupidity is going to emphasize that in bold relief.
You wrote,

Claiming, in front of Congress, that our soldiers regularly committed atrocities in Vietnam, was not a "protest". It was a slander of the most revolting and unpatriotic kind.
It is certainly nothing we should ever forget.

sounds just like the Democratic party to me. Hate, contempt, elitism, demogogary, class warfare, race baiting, anti-americanism, BDS, and childish conspiracy theories.
But never, ever, a new idea or a plan to help the nation.

It all started when the US Supreme Court made it abundantly clear that Algore could not use the Florida Supreme Court as cover while he tried to steal the presidency using four cherry-picked, democrat-controlled election boards and endless hanging-recounts.
The left was shocked that the US Supreme Court would actually uphold the rule of law and the constitutionally-mandated separation of powers between the legislative and judicial branches of the Florida government. Following that decision, wide-spread depression among the moonbats was even given its own name: Post Election Selection Trauma.
Pan forward to 2004.
As soon as the partisan press released the preliminary exit poll results of the presidential race, the celebration of the Bush defeat began in earnest. Once the actual vote counting began, it was obvious the real election results did not validate the preliminary exit polls. That was simply too much for the left to handle.
PEST had now metastasized, and a full-blown pandemic of Bush Derangement Syndrome proceeded to consume the masses. For months following the reelection of George W. Bush, grief counselors and anti-depression therapists raked-in obscene profits.

Its funny but despite being predicted and warned they couldn't stop themselves.
The Pope warns us that Islamic fundamentalists are violent and dangerous and they respond by... proving themselves violent and dangerous.
The fine folks that run RedState warn us that lefty moonbat trolls are hateful, illogical, and ignorant and they respond by... proving themselves to be hateful, illogical, and ignorant.
Looks like the conclusion to draw from this is as follows: the easiest way to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that someone who hates America, actually hates America, is to claim that they hate America. They will take it upon themselves to do the rest.
Oooh... did I just question someone's patriotism? You bet I did.
This next week's gonna be fun!

Isn't it amazing that all the trolls on all the boards have become outstanding mind readers. They aren't intelligent enough to carry on a rational debate; yet they are all smart enough to divine what kerry meant when he insulted our brave troops. Glad they aren't welcome here.
dwbh should consider that the brotherhood of the Skull and Bones Society may indeed by thicker than politics.
Has some sort of professional troll pesting his posts. The little fella is always the first to post, has the intellectual capacity of a sack of rocks, and is immune to fact. But with this latest Kerry sliming of our military, the trolls are out in force, telling us what Kerry was actually thinking, telling us to ignore the past context of his slandering and hating the military, and telling us that the reaction against him is just knuckle dragging.
Their desperation tells me they know Kerry screwed the pooch.
Keep up with the troll swatting. It is the pergect weather for it.
I can leave until Wednesday morning, when I come back to gloat a little.
Because no matter what else happens, Rick Santorum will lose next week, maybe early enough for a 10pm concession, and that will make me happy.
Most people would phrase that as their candidate winning. You phrased it as Santorum losing. Why is that going to make you happy ?
-> Are not very bright.
-> Have no accomplishments of their own.
-> Thankfully have famous father who was accomplished.
-> Hold elective office but don't show up for work.
-> Have no clue what a US Senator really does.
-> Have no platform and no values worth talking about let alone promoting.

I have a lot of respect for what Santorum has done on anti-poverty work, and I have never doubted his sincerity. But beyond that, his politics and mine do not converge.
Casey is SUCH a braindead lightweight, what could you possibly find to like in him?
I've read your postings and we're on pretty much opposite sides on most issues, but at least your positions are well thought out and well presented. Casey is not just lacking, but shameful in both of those areas.

Get him going on economic concerns or health care, and he's quite articulate. Or, seriously, read his speech (“Restoring America’s Moral Compass: Leadership and the Common Good”) delivered as the annual Pope John XXIII Lecture at Catholic U Law School in September. It's quite thoughtful.
He's not dumb. He's just quiet.
You can tell us how it feels to fail to grasp a single house of Congress for the second midterm in a row.

. . . I believe Rahm's going to be going on a long vacation, especially if one of the seats kept by the GOP is the IL-06 (Duckworth/Roskam) race.
Part of the argument is going to be whether he invested too much in his own backyard rather than spreading money around to less expensive races that are now in play.
There's also an argument that says that it doesn't matter where the parties spend money, because they'll just match each other wherever either decides to intervene, and it all cancels out.
I was working pretty much from the POV of who it'd be easier to blame. :)
The Fuzzy Puppy of the VRWC.
Tell us if there were any survivors of the Lamont Bandwagon Wreck. We'll send a rescue party.
Maybe.

We can't make fun of Dems pouring money into Loser Lamont without recalling that the NRSC poured money into trashing Steve Laffey to benefit Loser Lincoln.
We have trashed the NRSC for their foolishness. (the Nutroots have embraces their foolishness)

Some of us were concerned that the CT-SEN race, post-primary with Lieberman still in, would suck up all the oxygen and fundraising needed for other races. Clearly, that hasn't been the case. There's been much more attention paid to VA & TN than Connecticut over the past two months, for sure, as well as all the House races.
I consider myself not by the book conservative, but instead "open minded". I'm hanging out here to listen and try to understand the conservative POV-- to try it on for size, so to speak.
I want to be able to ask questions, and relatedly I would be very happy to engage in some low-level debate (I don't do flaming and don't respect it), but I don't want to get banned. Can I get some guidance on what's considered acceptable? Oviously something like 'ha ha you all so crazy, Bush sux' is not, but what about my first comment here, from yesterday, pointing out the misrepresentation (in a Republican Congressman's letter to his constituents) of the historical record from 1983 (the Garry Stubbs censure in the House)? I have a huge respect for fact, and history, and I'm hoping I can find intelligent conservative voices here who also have respect for fact, and history. The-- let us not put too fine a point on it-- glee over Kerry's gaffe here is a bit disheartening (and yes, it made me cringe, too) in that respect.
Reading this over, I realize that it might sound confrontational, but I really have absolutely no intention of being so. I just want to know what range of opinions are entertained here. I want rebuttals for my previous views; I've had my brief flings with the left back in University (20 years ago!), and now I want more. Will I find it here?
And I am sure I sometimes skate close to bannination. But if you are respectful, and if you don't trot out the dreaded "Democratic talking points" then you should have no trouble.
If you have a large point to make, then create a blog for it. But be prepared to defend your ideas.

Since I pounded you on your Gerry Studds question, I'll address this post.
First of all, with respect to Studds, you seem to think that because the D's voted to censure him they did their duty. I take serious exception to that because they supported him for reelection in every cycle after that. Actions speak louder than words, the R's booted Foley for what appears to be minor stuff compared to Studds, (I'm fine with Foley being gone), the D's celebrate diversity with their child molester Rep. If you can't see the difference here, we're never going to see eye to eye on this.
With respect to Kerry, the most important issue today is the war. Kerry has simply reminded us that the D's loathe the military, have no use for the troops, are utter patent liars when confronted with their obvious motives, and cannot be trusted with responsibility for the defense of the nation. He will, hopefully, energize R's who would have stayed home and independents who care about the country their children will grow up in. The D's are hopeless, I don't care what they think.
With respect to the "range of opinions", now is a bad time to review that because of the Kerry thing. Generally, we have a very wide range of opinions and comment. What is not appreciated, or tolerated, is pretending to be something you're not (a Republican). People who are stuck on D talking points are shown the door not respect. They earned the door, not respect.
If you want discourse, publish a blog. Right now something to do with the election next week would be good and topical. Do some research, comment on it, relate it to your point (it's always good to have a point), and ask questions. Then see what kind, if any, of responses you get.
