Simpson: 'Beware the 100 percenters'

Billings Gazette ^ | December 07, 2006 | NOELLE STRAUB

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

How can anyone in their right mind think this farce of a group has merit. If any of them have been to Iraq to actually see what's going on, it was for a brief time. My guess is the little sissies just get hysterical if their attire gets muddied. These folks don't have a clue! They're just armchair, Iraq war shrinks...

Well, I'd sure rather be a 100 percenter than a 49% like Alan Simpson and the rest of the Iraq Surrender Group have become... Unable to commit and stay committed to the WOT, or the vile bile of tyranny, to say nothing of the threat to national security of being able to secure oil at stable market prices in the world!!!

This collection of "formers" have obviously capitulated to the "No Blood For Oil" croud with Ramsey Clark and A.N.S.W.E.R. to help America seek out disgrace and defeat for the second time in American history!!!

I used to admire you during the Thomas hearings and such, Alan, but you can take your 49% attitude and shove it 100% of the way up your differential as far as I'm concerned!!!

[SierraWasp]

Ya know... BigSkyFreeper... This is just as stupid as that Dubai Ports deal and that errant Supreme Court nomination, but this time with a "group-think" committee's endorsement!!!

That's how this 100 percenter sees it!!!

[Einigkeit_Recht_Freiheit]

If this was like WWII there would have at least been a full mobilization to get Americans on an alternative to oil.

If we had been addicted to Mercedes and Toyotas you bet Americans would have found alternatives.

W's solution was for Americans to go shopping.

"A 100 percenter is a person you don't want to be around," he said. "They have gas, ulcers, heartburn and they seethe. They're not seekers, they're seethers. There's a lot of them out there. And we're going to get it from the far right, we're going to get it from the far left. We're going to get, bombs away."

I guess FDR was a 100 percenter, because he demanded nothing less than unconditional surrender from the Axis powers. And Truman? He must have been a seether for being willing to drop the A-bomb to end the war in the Pacific.

What a pantload - two deceased Dem presidents had far more balls and common sense than the likes of Simpson and Baker could ever dream of having.

Simpson shows he is in the terminal states of Mad Pol Disease - where too much time within the Beltway turns a man's mind into mush, incable of clear-thought and only thinking of his next ego feeding.

[JewishRighter]

I can name a few 100 percenters for Mr. Simpson:

Washington, Adams, Jefferson, egs.

They were 100% for independence and liberty and didn't say, when things were bleak, well, we gave it a damn good try. On victory, they staked their lives, fortunes and sacred honor. The last being something entirely forgotten in the halls of American power today.

[JewishRighter]

You have got it, 100% montag813

[George W. Bush]

"A 100 percenter is a person you don't want to be around," he said. "They have gas, ulcers, heartburn and they seethe. They're not seekers, they're seethers. There's a lot of them out there. And we're going to get it from the far right, we're going to get it from the far left. We're going to get, bombs away."

Simpson reminds us why we never liked him. Unreliable, poll-driven opinion.

Why they put him on this commission is beyond me. But Sandra Day was just as dumb a choice.

What's fun here is the win-at-any-cost 100%ers will try to use this article to bash on the conservative 100%ers at FR (borders, pro-family).

[Wild Irish Rogue]

Simpson's behavior at the unveiling of the report yesterday was similar to a court jester.
He continued his hardee har har corn pone schtick on the circuit last night.
All that was missing was the seltzer bottle and the trick flower on his lapel.
The ISG report was apparently the member's version of open mike night at the Improv .
Their jovial behavior was totally inappropriate and disgusting.
The laughing and guffawing, the jokes, the ear to ear smiles and of course the shoulder dislocations from patting themselves and each other on the back .
Buffoons and media whores.The whole lot of them.

""Iran hates us," Simpson said. "They may not even want to come to the table... They may hate our guts, but there's something they hate more. That's anarchy in Iraq."

Well, Simpson sure just came out and declared himself an idiot. Iran could care less if it's former rival has anarchy. After all, Iran has been working hard to create such anarchy. Iran wants Iraq to be controlled by pro-Iran forces.

About Us

Inspired by a drive to get back to the fundamentals of the Republican Party, Governor Christie Whitman created the political organization It's My Party Too, which advocates for the historic Republican principles of liberty, individual responsibility, and personal freedom.

IMP-PAC's vision is a Republican Party that is unified by the basic tenets of fiscal responsibility and personal freedom, but that allows for diverse opinions on social issues by its members.

IMP-PAC members consider themselves True Conservative Republicans. Republicans who believe that our elected officials have a responsibility to their constituents to spend their money wisely. We believe that government should have a limited role in American’s personal lives. And we believe in a strong national defense.

It's My Party Too PAC or IMP-PAC is a political action committee dedicated to supporting fiscally conservative, socially inclusive Republican candidates at all levels of government. Governor Whitman also created a 527 to advance the issues that help define Real Conservative members of the Republican Party.

IMP-PAC is NOT defined by one issue. We believe, as you can see through our diverse Advisory Board Members, that people who believe in the core Republican values can find common ground on social issues.

Al is on the Advisory Board.

Just think Diversity.

Moderates will be the death of this nation,, imo.

Then if they hate anarchy in Iraq, then let's give it to them. We can solidify the outer provinces and Kurdistan and sit back and watch the Sunnis and Shias fight each other until one defeats the other, or until they reach an agreement. How does that hurt our interests. Its like two boys in the schoolyard. Sooner or later they have to fight. If you keep breaking it up before it gets resolved it just goes under the surface and festers. This has been festering under Sadam for quite some time. If Iran hates the uncertainty of knowing who rules Iraq let's make sure they never find out. In reality we rule Iraq. We really should import pigs, dogs, alcoholics, prostitutes, Jews and Christians into the area and really give them something to wonder about. (smile)

Hundred per centers like Osama Bin Laden, Mahmud Amadenijhad, and Abu Al Zawahiri perhaps.

NOPE- the Iraq war has become one of the most vexing problems for politicians who love to play God with people's live and are facign political suicide if they don't recommend that we pull out and turn our backs on Iraq immediately- http://sacredscoop.com

I guess that includes Roosevelt and Churchill for foolishly demanding unconditional surrender in WWII.

[dfwgator]

It also includes Ronald "We win, they lose" Reagan as well.

I saw Baker on TV last night.

He said two things that interested me:

1. Iran would love to see us bogged down in Iraq.
2. Iran has a vested interest in a stable Iraq.

I spent the rest of the night trying to figure out how both of these could be true.

(hint: They can't be. They have 0 vested interest in a stable Iraq, and a lot of interest in a chaotic one.)

[Carry_Okie]

We need to be more concerned about the 10% flavor.

[unspun]

Simpson is merely pointing out how the system works and not how it should work.

You did't see his tactic? It's pretty simple: casting aspersions in advance upon those who disagree on principle, seeking to marginalize them as hopeless zealots.
