Wait, there are none. Never mind.

That's a sad sort of thread topic to read.
So dismissive of at least half the people here.
Well the dems are, to be fair, pretty dismissive of the republicans.
But we can easily provide evidence of why we should be.
You're right though, Zeb-- compared to the clever Republicans in this thread?
There really aren't too many clever Democrats.
What, saying that none of those people are Republicans?Gee I don't see a post from you in the "Clever Republicans" thread condemning Jack's thread?!?!![]()

The Congressional Post Office scandal refers to the discovery of corruption among various Congressional Post Office employees and members of the United States House of Representatives, investigated 1991–1995, climaxing in the conviction of House Ways and Means Committee chairman Dan Rostenkowski (D-IL).
Initially an investigation by the United States Capitol Police into a single embezzlement charge against a single employee, evidence rapidly led to the inclusion of several other employees, before top Democrats in the House of Representatives moved to shut down the whole line of inquiry, despite protests from Frank Karrigan, chief of the Capitol Police.
A new investigation was started by the United States Postal Service, which eventually submitted a report which was held in silence by Speaker Thomas Foley (D-WA) until media reports of embezzlement and money laundering leaked out in 1992.
Following public outcry, the Democratic leaders of the House were forced to refer the matter to the Committee on House Administration, which started its own investigation.
That committee broke into two parts along party lines, the Democrats issuing a report saying the matter was closed, but the Republicans issuing a dissenting report including a number of unanswered questions and problems with the investigation.
The Republican charges were largely ignored until July 1993, when the Congressional Postmaster Robert Rota pleaded guilty to three criminal charges, implicating Representatives Dan Rostenkowski (D-IL) and Joe Kolter (D-PA). They were accused of heading a conspiracy to launder Post Office money through stamps and postal vouchers.
Rostenkowski was convicted and sentenced to 18 months in prison, in 1995.
U.S. President Bill Clinton pardoned Rostenkowski in 2000.
About the tight fisted one? What are you talking about?
What, saying that none of those people are Republicans?
Or that none of them are clever?

For a certain value of "know."I knew I was correct on the thread title I picked.![]()
No. How much rum have you had tonight dear?
None, sweetheart. But I just realized what you were talking about.
I posted on that thread a couple of weeks ago. I posted information about how many maternal deaths we have in the US compared to other countries because of lack of health care. There was an actual debate.
But what's the point of this thread? I mean, other than insulting people around here?
For a certain value of "know."![]()
Oh, you mean like the insults hurled at the others here in that thread? I see your point now. It's okay for democrats to hurl insults at republicans but not vis versa.
I do see the head democrat has thrown her two cents in, but as she is on ignore I'll just have to paraphrase what I think she is saying...
Oh, Zebbie, is dementia setting in already?Wait, there are none. Never mind.![]()
Oh, Zebbie, is dementia setting in already?I'm so sorry...no? Oh. You've always been this much of an idiot? I'm sorry. Well, I'm here to put your mind at ease and tell you that you're flat out wrong. Democrats are filled with clever people--even the Republicans say so. They call us intellectual elites! And it's funny, but all Democratic presidents in the last 40 years have been super smart! They got Scholarships to big universities or were nuclear engineers rather than average students who only got into a good school thanks to their father's money.
Of course, the best proof of how clever Dems are is that they're kicking your ass all over this forum. But then, that really isn't too hard, and, of course, you probably haven't noticed since they tend to talk over your head most of the time....Hm. Why don't we just forget this nasty thread. You run along and play. And keep on telling ourself that Dems aren't clever and you are. Maybe if you say it enough times it'll finally come true.
Now, now. I can't spell either. I tend to think that clever is as clever does. For example, a clever person would know better than to make an ad hominen attack on half the people who post on this forum...and who are presumably your friends even if they don't agree with your politics.It'd be easier for him to convince someone he was clever if he'd learn to spell first.![]()
