That's supposed to read Porkucans.

I think we're going from apathy to dependence...

Absolutely..."you cannot beat them join them"...The new Republican slogan.

The traditional means of Pork-ufying a bill is to add a rider on to it that's unrelated (some of the Iraq defense spending bills had egregious pork added) and that gives future political campaigns the ability to say the other side "didn't support (motherhood/apple pie/supporting troops)". As long as the electorate is more interested in national sports teams than in informing themselves about politics, this will continue.

How do we make politics important to Joe Sixpack?

New?

You think Nixon/Ford are "new"?

There is nothing "new" about this. This is how Republicans have always been...no difference between them and Democrats when it comes to spending...

They LOVE IT. And they love to increase the deficit at more rapid rates than the Democrats

Democrats: tax and spend
Republicans: tax less and spend

Same ol, except the republican plan is more dangerous. Either way, neither cut. They just give it to different people...

I just think Women should stay at home and make sandwichs, they shouldn't bother their silly little heads with something they just don't understand!....

But for the men on this Board it's simple....cut taxes and spend like crazy, so that when the Dems get in they are hamstrung with paying off the debt...and then they can't spend. so simple really...

What tabs said...

I know of no woman here who don't understand...or are stupid enough so all they can do is stay at home and make sandwiches, so your point here is moot.

And tabs, your other comment...that's a brilliant idea. Ruin the future of this country! I like that. Why do you hate America so much? :)

Can you make a Egg Salad and Tuna Sandwich for me.....Ohhh and put some Sweet Relish in it, and make sure the Celery is chopped up fine....and Best Foods Mayo....Oh in Chicago it's Hellmans....I like my crusts to be cut off too...Thanks your a Dear!

Now guys lets get back to the business at hand!

"I think [women] should be armed but should not vote...women have no capacity to understand how money is earned. They have a lot of ideas on how to spend it...it's always more money on education, more money on child care, more money on day care." -- Ann Coulter

My mother agrees.

Why in the world would you think I or anyone in Chicago would make you a sandwich?

"Like the Democrats, Playboy just wants to liberate women to behave like pigs, have sex without consequences, prance about naked, and abort children." -- Ann Coulter

Yes, lets, as was before you came in the thread in an effort to change the business at hand....

Ann sounds whacked. But actually, she's clever. She's not that stupid to believe the crap she spews...she knows it sells, you guys fall hook, line, and sinker...she's rather a genius entrepreneur.

Ohhh and can you get me a cup of coffee to go with that sandwich....and please be sure to put some sugar in it....and some milk....1%...not half and half....

Be careful, tabs. The shot of milk might instead be a smidge of arsenic. ;)

You scare people with the erratic-ness of your driving, don't you?...Your one of those types who likes to combine the application of makeup, gossiping on the cellphone and driving aren't you?...Do you ever wonder why people are honking at you?

Ann Coulter believes what she says...not a typical woman.

Like Rasputin I'm immune to arsenic.....

I wonder if anyone finds this funny?

Pretty lame attempt at humor if you ask me. No wit, no irony, no zing. Just a stupid old guy joke, repeating ***** that may have had some humor 20 years ago but now is just worked to death and kinda pathetic. Something my great uncle might find amusing.

Actually, no Mul, I don't.

If she actually believes what she says, then she is completely whacked.

I don't understand why if a woman is in the conversation, offering valid points, invariably, eventually every single time, some "compassionate conservative" male always turns it into this ....

It's sad actually.

Because women should be making sandwichs in the kitchen thats why!

Those days are over hun. We women in America have fantastic careers, shoes on our feet, flat tummys and pay for our stuff all on our own now....

If you want a woman like that, may I suggest mail-order?

My bad...It is just that your analysis is quite often so far from reality, I assumed your driving was just as erratic.

Not funny

And whats for desert now that I've had my sandwich?

Okay Galahad.

Maybe the lovely Malaysian girl you order will take care of that for you...

Ok, this has been fun, but I do need to keep my career now...LOL

Well Cool now you know why I am Tabs and have bin banned in the Western World...

I thought it was funny.

and U "HUN" were sooooo easy.......LOL

Where do I send the check?

I'm not being a feminist ... and CC can stick up for herself. I just don't think its funny. But then again, I never thought Hee Haw was funny either. Carry on.

Alot of Americans thought Hee Haw was funny...

How many women does it take to remove the top off a bottle of beer?

Who cares...it should be off by the time it gets to ya.

Now that I think about it, one could reliably predict a presidential election with a single poll question" "Do you think Hee Haw was funny?"

A majority yes and Dick Cheney is our next president

meanwhile back at the ranch.. as in Politics is Politics.

the Rep conservative pitch is to conserve historical community with its customs and habits. The Dem progressive pitch is to dump the debris left by the dead.

it's all about temperament.

This statement was designed to make a political inference...in other words you were set up Rodeo to bring the discussion back to politics...

However for my own tastes. I prefer British humor....Lionel Jefferies, Herbert Lom, Alec Guiness, Peter Sellers, John Cleese and Richard Lester...it's just sooooo DROLL.....

Rodeo I do think you missed the subtlity of what I was doing....let me spell it out.....one equates sandwichs for lunch....and I certainly ate this threads lunch.....by completely diverting it from it's orginal topic...and I pressed ole Polish Chickys buttons with obvious success.

I think that should shed enough light on the issue for even you to see more clearily what I was up to...

BTW....I don't think there is anything more funny than an Englishman imitating or parodying the French....
