Seen in West Seattle traffic: Sign(s) of the political times?

k February 22, 2008 (12:40 pm)

It could be representing a mixed marriage…

coffee geek February 22, 2008 (12:43 pm)

…or a divorce. ;)

JoB February 22, 2008 (12:52 pm)

and this is a good thing???????

Jack Flanders February 22, 2008 (12:53 pm)

Could be real. I sure heard from a couple ‘voted Republican last election’ folks when I went to the Democratic caucus here…they were all voting for Obama or McCain. One thing is for certain, you’ll never see a Bush/Cheney sign followed by a Hillary ’08 sign. Those two camps just don’t mix (for whatever reason)

coffee geek February 22, 2008 (12:55 pm)

Sorry JoB. Satan is too busy to campaign and Cheney has more bird hunting trips scheduled. McCain will have to suffice as your wasted vote here in WA state. :)

OP February 22, 2008 (1:04 pm)

Uh-oh, it seems one of my brethren has been brainwashed by the whole “change/new/direction/hope” cheap platitudes. We evil rightwingers better break out the Common Sense And Substance meds and send them to this poor fellow ASAP.

k February 22, 2008 (1:15 pm)

nice! love to see that. hoping that isn’t the only “enlightenment” we see! it’s time for a change! (to the first “k” poster in these comments…why choose the same name as me? i’ve been posting forever.)

Tonya February 22, 2008 (1:22 pm)

Umm.. enlightened you say?

yeeeoowza……
:)

coffee geek February 22, 2008 (1:22 pm)

“Uh-oh, it seems one of my brethren has been brainwashed by the whole â€œchange/new/direction/hopeâ€ cheap platitudes.” Why OP, you sound just like Hillary! ;)

k February 22, 2008 (1:27 pm)

i am a hillary fan, but at this juncture i just want a democrat to lead the country. obama is not my choice, but republican is REALLY not my choice.

TheHouse February 22, 2008 (1:35 pm)

I can’t wait for Obama to be elected and the country turn into a larger global and domestic mess than it already is. Perhaps the country does need 4 years of true economic pain to appeciate how good things really are in this country right now.

Cheney in 2008!

chas redmond February 22, 2008 (1:53 pm)

Cheney has triple bypasses and there’s a bunch of us who believe he’s been an anamatronic human for a while now – sort of RoboVicePresident. I’m never sure if voting for a Cheney will allow the recipient of the votes to live out the time in the office. I’ve actually been expecting to hear medical news about Cheney for a while now. The man seems invincible – ‘course, doesn’t he control like half the world already through Halliburton anyway?

Jen V. February 22, 2008 (1:53 pm)

ah, record deficit and our country at unprovoked war. Indeed, TheHouse, these will be considered the “good old days”….

k February 22, 2008 (2:11 pm)

It seems that there are several “k”s out there. I also have been posting for a while now. I think it makes it more interesting to try to figure out who everyone is. I didn’t think it was trademarked!

Huindekmi February 22, 2008 (2:37 pm)

Unfortunately, it could take a generation of painful belt tightening to undo the damage of this fiscally irresponsible administration.

Guess we’d be better off just continuing to pile on the debt. Let the good times roll!

OP February 22, 2008 (4:04 pm)

Unfortunately, it could take a generation of painful belt tightening to undo the damage of this fiscally irresponsible administration.

Apparently you haven’t read Obama’s or Hillary’s universal health care plans yet. But I will give you the fiscally irresponsible part; the President has spent like a Democrat.;-)

Such typical head-in-the-sand doomsday thinking from the right wing â€œour way or the highwayâ€ crowd. You donâ€™t hear liberals cheering on Bush as he continues screwing up everything from the economy to the environment, or hoping that things actually get worse so they can get better ONLY on our terms. Yeah, let’s keep our fingers crossed for the worst just so we can say, “I told you so.” I love to see our country fail! After the last 8 years, I’m at least getting used to it.

Looking back at the “accomplishments” of Bush, Rove, Rumsfeld, Gonzales, Libby and Heckuvajob Brownie, I think we’ve got a new mission statement for the right wing: Failure, By Any Means Necessary.

Scott J. February 22, 2008 (4:49 pm)

I know several republicans who went for Bush the last two times and are now Obama fans. I guess after 8 years of Curious George, they finally want something different. They do hate Hillary, though, and will vote for McBain if she’s the dem.

Rick February 22, 2008 (6:41 pm)

Where’s Pat Paulsen now that we really need him?

CO Transplant February 22, 2008 (11:29 pm)

Could it be that we are more than capable of keeping this country great by living our lives as we best see fit, regardless who is President?

Sorry for the idealism, but I do not see anything constructive coming out of the Left vs. Right “debate”.

Why can’t some Democrats talk and refer to any and all Republicans w/o sounding like pre-pubescent dolts? Do you honestly think you’re lessening the gulf between the two parties with adolescent name calling? God, you’re supposed to the party of tolerance, give it a rest already and converse like an adult.

Pot is Black February 23, 2008 (10:23 am)

Dearest OP-

This is the Pot trying to reach the Kettle. Its really hard to bridge the wide divide while the likes of Druggie Limbaugh and Loofah O’Reilley spew their nonsense over the airwaves. Did you catch Bill-O’s “lynching party” comment the other day about Michelle Obama? I’d rather be a pre-pubescent doll than a racist.

JumboJim February 23, 2008 (12:59 pm)

To all those out there who are complaining that others are stealing their screen names (I’ve seen comments from 2 such people recently, from “K” and “Eric”, I think) – why not try something a little more unique than a one letter “name” or just your first name, if its common. That way we won’t have to keep reading territorial disputes.
–
If you want to be seen as unique, or at least keep things clear as to who’s commenting, be unique. Much as I thought his comments were often boneheaded, at least I liked Bob Loblaw’s (“blah-blah-blah”) name…

OP February 25, 2008 (4:26 pm)

Dear Pot is Black,

Nonsense (to you) and outright name calling are 2 entirely different things.

Did you catch Bill-Oâ€™s â€œlynching partyâ€ comment the other day about Michelle Obama? Iâ€™d rather be a pre-pubescent doll than a racist.

Congratulations, you succeeded on another front, too: Being an ignoramus. Yes, I saw the “lynching party” comment, but perhaps you’d like give that some comment context and background before you stick your foot in your mouth and choke on it before you spew your vindictive diatribe: Clearly, O’Reilley was NOT “going after” Mrs. Obama, but actually defending her and saying there should NOT be a “lynching party”. An unfortunate timing to use that phrase, yes, but it is hardly indicative of some latent undercurrent and sign of racism on O’Reilley’s part. Attempting to portray his comment as such is just a weak and phony attempt at establishing a phony pretext in order to make racist allegations against some one. In short, your point is just typical recycled liberal rhetorical garbage.
