With every passing day we see the detoriation of an office that so many of us held in such regard. With the embarassment nationally and Internationally that W has become. What moves can we make as a society to ensure that something like "the W" never happens to us again. Here are some of my ideas: Feel free to add any if you wish.

1. Ban the word Republican as a national party. Everytime someone thinks "Hey whatever happened to the Republican's" they will think about our 43rd president and everyone's stomach's will churn. This might have the desired effect we are all looking for. We will ban the GOP, the Elephant........ anything associated with the party. They have to pay some price....................................


2. Anyone who voted for W in 2004 must pass a qualifying exam to get the right to vote in further national elections. I suspect this hurdle would be quite the challenge for many of W's supporters. We could very well thin the herd here, if you get my drift. I'll let the 2000 people get a pass because they came to their senses in 2004. Everyone deserves a break.

3. Start every elementary school day after the pledge of allegiance a pledge about the moral high ground. Talk about the evils of pre-emption.

4. For one whole year. Let's make it 2008. Every American gets to charge his lunch onto his grandchildren. Think of a reverse social security. We could even call this "the optmistic owl dump truck lunch". We all know there are no free lunches in life, but this is too good of a deal for everyone involved. If the grandkids complain they could just vote in 2 years of free lunches for themselves and have THEIR grandkids complain. I know a vicious cycle, but it would be a great reminder for our country of W's tax cuts.

5. Feel free to add any new ones!!! I'll post some more later. ;-)

Mach's talking about morals. lmfao lmfao lmfao

He's pointing the finger at us. lmfao lmfao lmfao

He pointing the finger at me.
lmfao lmfao lmfao

You have no credibility, Mach. Not when it comes to pointing fingers about morals and ethics.

I have provided for my grandchildren. Now you want me to provide for yours because ... ?

here's one for you, mach.


6. Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.

I'll explain it later - I don't expect you to understand.

Isn't the Great Leader in North Korea already doing this? Not an original idea, mach. But a scary one from a part-time educator.

Let's do this across the board. The Democrat Party would cease to exist.

Didn't GWB win the popular vote in 2004?

In any case, I escape your misbegotten wrath, oh perfect one. I wrote in Bill Cosby for President in 2004 - the second time I have voted for a black man for president. Can any of you libs say that even once? And, hey, maybe with luck i can vote for a black woman for president in '08.

I voted for Herman Cain for Senator and would vote for him as President in a hillbilly's heartbeat.

Soooo you wouldn't have to pass the BVRQE.

Basic Voting Rights Qualifying Exam.

I'm sorry. Quite the contrary. I think oddball had that post about states who voted for Gore vs. those for Bush and their collective I.Q. There was like a 99% correlation. There was only one state that voted for Bush who had an I.Q. higher than one who voted for Gore. It was amazing...........................................................................










Now I was just trying to get a little creative. I thought Owl would especially like the dump truck analogy. Jeez just a joke guys.

6.) Find the teachers of all of people who vote, and determine if

a) They know anything about the subjects they"teach". This should be conducted by a panel containing at least one expert in the field, that is someone w/ a PhD, published in peer-reviewed literature, and has successfully conducted independent research that is not gov't funded.

b) They proseletyze for a particular party

c) They do it during school hours.

Sorry, but this is a crock. It doesn't take ALL elements into account. That's like saying all red states are 100% conservative, and all blue are 100% liberal. It doesn't take into account that the inner cities in the South are always Democrat and have lower test scores than the rest of the state, bringing the state's down. I could also formulate some reason that you could be construed as a racist, but I won't do that.

I can tell you, I read DU, DailyKos, and numerous other leftwing blogs, every day. If there is a qualifying test, the Democrat Party will cease to exist.

The Democrat Party, THE Party of Confiscation.

you have to love #4. This post may be my most creative. I'd put it up there with the Soddom Hooosssseinn hangin'


dump truck lunch... still chuckling over that one. Too good of an idea for everyone involved.............. HEH' LARR E' LOOUUUSSSS. I crack myself up.

this one can be said to anyone in the spin room myself included.

What the hell does proseltyze even mean?

c. Ohhh jeez another one. I started this post after school btw. Let heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee who is without sin cast the first stone.

Hypocrits!!!! I could be a private undercover Democratic agent for all that you guys know. I get paid to post for the Democrat party. That's my job. Jeez it feels good to get that off my chest. Now you guys can stop with the school stuff and QUIT hi-jackin my thread dirt bags. Back to making fun of Republicans.

How involved are you in the Democrat Party, Dogger? You do realize we say "Democrat Party" as an insult, right? lmfao

Machiavelli Wrote:Hypocrits!!!! I could be a private undercover Democratic agent for all that you guys know. I get paid to post for the Democrat party. That's my job.

The DNC doesn't believe in giving people jobs that are that productive.

I nominate Dogger to be the next Chairman of the DNC. That should make them a dominant force in 08.

If you were to go into the neighborhoods that vote 95% for Democrats especially the inner cities, I doubt they could pass a basic education test much less score high on a I.Q. test.

Good for you mach. We will all be there for you as you make your recovery. One day at a time.

We could call this European lunch day as the grandchildren in Europe are facing much larger debts as opposed to GDP then the United States.

Germany comes in at 65% of GDP, France 56%, Italy is knocking it out of the park at 102% of GDP. England is the model of fiscal responsibility with debt coming in at only 38% of GDP compared to the United States at 48% of GDP.
If your grandchildren like variety we could make them pay for a Sushi lunch as the Japanese have a debt of 94% of GDP

sushi is good.
