No kidding...

Do what I do. Take nothing seriously

I was under the impression that the whole thread was a joke.

Must be wrong again...

Republicans launch a transparently cheap stunt.

A partisan hack newspaper gives a misleading description of the issue.

frazzled posts it to Dakka unquestioningly.

People explain to Fraz why it was a transparently cheap stunt by Republicans, and he and biccat invent some disingenuous nonsense to pretend that it isn't true.

We all anxiously wait to see what stupid nonsense fraz will post tomorrow.

It's almost like a routine, a mind-numbingly stupid one, but a routine.

It's nice to have stability in our lives.

The President didn't try and pass the bill. The Republicans took his budget, made their own version of what they thought it meant and put that up for a vote. Because it was their stupid stunt, of course every Republican voted against the bill, and because it was nonsense bill put up by the Republicans, of course every Democrat voted against it as well.

It's was just a stupid stunt, wasting chamber time. But Fraz, dutiful Republican footsoldier that he is, posted it unquestioningly to dakka.

Now lets me fair, he's Texan after all, we should cut him some slack... ;D

Hey, he has a lot of free time since they took his MOD duties away...

What disappoints me the most is that Fraz, and hundreds of thousands of other movement conservatives out there, have basically said through their actions that not only do they simply not care when their party and its affiliated news outlets lie to them, they don't care when they're told really obviously wrong, ridiculous lies.

Because of this, the Republican party isn't even bothering to conceal its lies. It just throws any old gak out there, knowing fraz and all the other true believers will happily snap it up unquestioningly.

Which means when the rest of us read the fraz's daily nonsense threads, it isn't even hard to figure out why it's ridiculous. And when there's no challenge, there's no fun.

I mean, say what you want about the Democrats, but at least you generally have to do some thinking to figure out how they're misleading you. This stuff from the Republicans is just pathetic.

I'm also Texan. Don't make me take a shotgun and lead you back behind the woodshed.

We let you give your opinion even though you are a kiwi: at least he lives here.

He may just be a footsoldier now, but I'm sure creating 4 threads a day with this sort of derp will have him at least to Footsoldier First Class in a week. Grind those levels, buddy!

It's cute when Texans think they're more conservative than Okies. Even our democrats are more conservative than Tejas neo-cons.

If I had to live in constant fear of a zeta death squad, I'd sit around with my tinfoil hat on too, just like Fraz. He needs to buy more weinerdogs to protect the hacienda.

I resent those implications. I was born in Texas, have spent the last seven years of my life in Texas, and plan to live in Texas until I die. Yet I am considered by friends and family to be a flaming liberal commie bastard.

How flaming are we talking about? Austin flaming, or Dallas flaming?

I vote that we all show up to the House of Reps on June 29th, the last day they are session that week, We boldly announce that they are all fired, then proceed to take over the chamber and begin work on a budget, about 3 years overdue.

I will be one of the reps from Oregon. Who's in?

Hmm, I support gay marriage, transgender rights, have no problems with illegal immigration, women's rights and want all elements of Judeo-Christian rhetoric removed from public, government funded locations...where would that put me?

The transgender rights thing puts you squarely in Austin territory.

What dissapoints me most is that this thread has turned to discussing evil Frazzled, and yet there are no pics of wiener dog uber domination. Well son, I've come to chew bubble gum and post wienie dog pics, and I am all out of bubble gum.

Yea but you're not a real man until you vote for Ralph Nader in a Republican state.

one has to have goals. On the positive I'm looking at my first IDPA competition on the 31st. I'm so excited!
I expect to get much more busy with the banks imploding. We might go into firedrill mode ala 2008 pretty soon. That will be interesting and by interesting I mean crazy in the bad way.

Totally true. Except where it's false.

Some might wonder: if a bunch of budget bills got voted on in the Senate, why isn't there major news coverage of the issue, especially given that it's a slow news day? Others are quite clear in their answer: because it doesn't help Obama.

Sounds fun. Not sure about the movie.

@Frazz what are you shooting there, I forgot what you decided on but for some reason I've narrowed it down to a M92FS or M&P. Good Luck.

Although I like my tweeked 92 much better: 1) the DA/SA is too much for me and it aggravates the hand shaking; 2) She Who Must Be Obeyed and Genghis Connie have seized joint custody of it, prying it from my chocolate stained hands.

Will be shooting a stock 9mm M&P. Later may get a trigger job on it.

yea Borat/Dictator could be good or meh but perfect for booze and popcorn.

Because they voted on three budget bills that day, the democrats had a planned date for introducing this bill already (without it being fake), and it was a cheap political joke that you somehow are capable of thinking is real?

I think that's the actual answer. No one takes it seriously but it's not to be taken seriously. Keep holding that torch though.

I'm not expecting good things from it. I think Borat was better than the director really intended. It was kind of a mistake. His other film outings have all been bombs and this one looks about as cheap and easy as those.

Agreed, I'm not expecting Shakespeare from Dictator (we may wait and rent so we can make fun of it and Troy can bark at me all night for popcorn).
