What ground breaking satire.

**Gaidin** · February 13, 2009, 11:34 AM

Funny that you make a thread totally intended for mockery. I guess this means I get to talk about how useless this thread is for discussion and get to stay on topic at the same time.

Well... i think the point here is that the Democratic Party has maybe lost some of its Patriotic roots, the satire was thus meant to present that argument in a light hearted fashion.

Besides.. people post Bushisms all the time.

Watch. A Great Orators of the Republican Party will spring up soon.

**cristophe el perno** · February 13, 2009, 11:42 AM

Just listen to some British politicians, and suddenly anyone will look like great orators in comparision - count yourself lucky there.

Surely the quotes you gave mostly indicate that the democratic party aren't all inspired speakers or speechwriters. I would assume there's nothing inherently unpatriotic about lacking eloquance (Dubya).

And to be fair, hearing Obama speak I would classify him as a fairly decent orator.

Do I really need to open a 'George W Bush The Great Orator Of The Republican Party' thread?

Nah...hijack this one.

**Dunecat** · February 13, 2009, 12:06 PM

How could you forget John Kerry?

*EDIT*- Also, Al Gore's flop could have certainly gone unsaid but the man is not psychotic. The satire would be funny if it wasn't always used by smug idiots who don't read.

**Quadratus** · February 13, 2009, 12:11 PM

LOL.

Or perhaps you don't know the awful gaffes of forgotten politicians from half a century ago?

Was nearly 8 years of it why rehash what has already been done on mudpit. Atleast this is somewhat new though with all the crap on the mudpit I wonder why this seems to bug people, its tame in comparison.

Watch. Great Mistakes of the American People to Uphold American Democracy is soon around the corner.

Moved to the Political Academy. I decree the official topic of this thread is, ''The Democrats of the past in comparison to today".

Al Gore did have a hand in inventing the internet.

**Captain Blackadder** · February 13, 2009, 05:19 PM

And he never said that he did invent it he simply said that he played a large role in the legislation that allowed for the internet to become what we know it is today.
