Conservative Politics & Daily Events Discussion

    Quote from Mr. Clean

    Wouldn't it be refreshing if our politicians on all sides started speaking the WHOLE truth?

    Silly me...asking any politician to tell the WHOLE truth and getting the WHOLE truth is like hoping to put out a forest fire by pissing on it.


    Ah well...


    I like poetry, long walks on the beach and poking dead things with a stick.

    Bad news about Grandpa.



    An elderly man had a massive stroke, and the family drove him to the emergency room.


    After a while the ER doctor appeared wearing a long face


    "I'm afraid Grandpa is brain dead, but his heart is still beating"


    "Oh dear GOD" cried the wife, "We've never had a liberal in our family before

    Testing the Patience of a DC Airport Ticket Agent




    1.I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman (Carol Shea-Porter) ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane!)

    2.I got a call from a Kansas Congressman's (Moore) staffer (Howard Bauleke), who wanted to go to Cape Town. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information, and then he interrupted me with, ''I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Cape Town is in Massachusetts ....''
    Without trying to make him look stupid, I calmly explained, ''Cape Cod is in Massachusetts, Cape Town is in Africa '' his response – click.




    3.A senior Vermont Congressman (Bernie Sanders) and recent presidential candidate--called, furious about a Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando. He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that's not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state. He replied, 'don't lie to me, I looked on the map and Florida is a very thin state!'' (OMG)

    4.I got a call from a lawmaker's wife (Landra Reid) who asked, ''Is it possible to see England from Canada?''
    I said, ''No.'' She said, ''But they look so close on the map.'' (OMG, again!)

    5.An aide for a cabinet member (Janet Napolitano) once called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas. I pulled up the reservation and noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas. When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, ''I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive between gates to save time.'' (Aghhhh)

    6.An Illinois Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky called last week. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 a.m., and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m. Iexplained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois, but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones.




    Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that.

    7.A New York lawmaker, (Jerrold Nadler) called and asked, ''Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?'' I said, 'No, why do you ask?' He replied, ''Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said (FAT), and I'm overweight. I think that's very rude!''




    After putting him on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno, Ca. is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on his luggage.

    8.A Senator John Kerry aide (Lindsay Ross) called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii. After going over all the cost info, she asked, ''Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii?''

    9.I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman, Bobby Bright from Ala who asked, ''How do I know which plane to get on?'' I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, ''I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have that number on them.''

    10.Senator Dianne Feinstein called and said, ''I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola, Florida. Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?'' I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola , FL on a commuter plane.
    She said, ''Yeah, whatever, smarty!''

    11.Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu, called and had a question about the documents she needed in order to fly to China. After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded her that she needed a visa. 'Oh, no I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those.''




    I double checked and sure enough, her stay required a visa. When I told her this she said, ''Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express!''

    12.A New Jersey Congressman (John Adler) called to make reservations, ''I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York.'' I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, ''Are you sure that's the name of the town?''
    'Yes, what flights do you have?'' replied the Congressman. After some searching, I came back with, ''I'm sorry, sir, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a rhino anywhere." ''The man retorted, ''Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!'' So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, ''You don't mean Buffalo, do you?''




    The reply? ''Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.''




    Now you know why the Government is in the shape that it's in! Could anyone be this DUMB?


    YES, THEY WALK AMONG US, ARE IN POLITICS, AND THEY CONTINUE TO BREED.

    Think everybody kinda has taken a break from politics after that wild election process. Now @WOLF I told ya if the Rep's didn't make good on their campaign promises I would be the first to criticize. While I think Trump is trying to make good on his promises the Rep party has been bloviating about their replacement healthcare plan seems like forever and what they are trying to pass is the BEST they can come up with??? Politics truly do suck!!! @ericastar76 if you ever do decide to run for office I'd support ya - ya couldn't possibly do any worse.

    I might not be right but I can sure sound like it

    The Fence Test



    You can't get any more accurate than this! This is straight forward country thinking.

    by Jeff Foxworthy



    If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!

    If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy     one.


    If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.


    ------------------------------------------------------------


    If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.

    If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat     products banned for everyone.


    ------------------------------------------------------------



    If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.


    If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.


    ------------------------------------------------------------



    If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.

    If a Democrat is down-and-out     he wonders who is going to take care of him.



    ------------------------------------------------------------



    If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.

    A Democrat demands that those they     don't like be shut down.




    ------------------------------------------------------------



    If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.

    A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of     God and religion silenced.


    ------------------------------------------------------------



    If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.


    If a Democrat decides he needs health care, he demands that the rest of us pay for his.


    ------------------------------------------------------------


    If a Republican reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.

    A Democrat will delete     it because he's "offended."

    Quote from WOLF

    They do say the way Obamacare is built, that it has to be done in phases. I understand that. I only worry if a phase doesn't pass through, we are left with a huge half put together, patchworked, unfixable mess. :S||

    Yeah but you would at least think the Reps could at the very least come up with something they all could agree on. It is time to scrap this Dem vs Rep and vice versa system and come up with something new - I know it's only a pipe dream but I sure would support a viable 3rd party - they sure couldn't do worse!!

    I might not be right but I can sure sound like it
