Comments on: Drinking Game http://onepretentiousbastard.com/2008/09/02/drinking-game/ Musings of an aging Gen-Xer Mon, 28 Nov 2011 00:02:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: officergleason http://onepretentiousbastard.com/2008/09/02/drinking-game/#comment-2305 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 16:21:18 +0000 http://onepretentiousbastard.wordpress.com/?p=492#comment-2305 I’m in agreement with Itanya. While I appreciate his stances on choice and equal rights, I find his “moral voice” role to be nothing short of patriarchal nonsense. Furthermore, I think his stance on “security issues” to be quite out of sync with the party.

I also find his “sore loser” stance in regards to Ned Lamont to be absolutely ridiculous. Oh, and questioning Obama’s patriotism* is beyond the pale.

*saying he does not put country first is an attack on his devotion to the country, hence, an attack on his patriotism.

He’s pro-choice and also a supporter of equal rights for all (including gay and lesbians). He typical votes with the democrats on social issues.
Plus, he’s also a supporter of affirmative action.

He’s just short of Jack Thompson in his anti-media stance. He supported the communications decency act.

I’m just curious about what you find so appealing about him. Personally, I find his paternalistic heavy-handed moralism offensive. But that is the same reason I dislike people like Dick Cheney (and more than a few democrats)

I like Joe Lieberman a lot, but the only drinking game you need to play when he starts speaking is doing shots of espresso to stay awake. Not the most dynamic orator in the world.

Yeah, I’d rather read a Tale of Two Cities.

No Rudy tonight. You get Laura Bush, President Bush via video remote, Fred Thompson, and Joe Lieberman as consolation prizes. I don’t know whether they bumped Rudy to tomorrow night or cut him entirely.

Not that it wasn’t fun…

Have you seen the Family Guy episode where Lois runs for office? And mentions 9/11 repeatedly?

We can still have a “maverick” and/or “war on terror” one, though. I’m down!
