    Nothing screams "Survival of the Fittest" like a hot-topic board thread.

    Ed Schultz told me to tell you I have no idea what you are talking about.

    Some people always have to make things personal. It's called "being small."

    That is so 2008. Aside from the lies about his mother, the basic tactic is just stupid. If the "Obama is a super-radical communist Kenyan secret agent bent on legalizing kiddie porn, stealing from whitey and imposing muslim rule" scare tactics didn't work in 08, when most of America didn't yet know the guy, they sure as hell ain't gonna work four years later after's he killed Bin Laden and demonstrated what he's not.

    I can't imagine how those making that film think they're helping Romney's cause. It'll appeal only to the whacko fringe who'd never vote Obama anyways, and it'll resoundingly turn off those in the swing vote category.

    Which, as you'll notice, is why I always respond to posts, not posters. The left mafia here thinks they're the holy ones. Note that in 26 pages of this thread I have not mentioned one poster's name. My name, however, is constantly bantered around in their little circle jerks.

    Moral to the story: Those who can't debate ideas attack people instead. Not that I'm complaining. I'm not. I've learned not to expect better from some people.

    Do you think Romney will win this election? One-word answer, please.

    Oh, take a pill. Do you think anyone here actually thinks he did? Should be fairly clear from the context in which it was mentioned that I was merely speaking about the political meme. Did you get the basic point? Would you agree that him "ordering" the mission to kill Bin Laden tends to undermime the 2008 nonsense about him being a secret radical Islam sympathizer?

    Christ, people just looking for something to whine about.

    Well, considering a number of Obama voters don't even know bin Laden is dead ...

    Obama didn't build those bullets.

    Per management, no pictures, please. And no overt references to Lord of the Flies, except "Sucks to your ass-mar!"

    The local news is reporting that thousands of registrations in Palm Beach County alone will now be reviewed. I believe at least six other counties are reviewing registrations as well.

    Earlier this year, the Republican controlled government tried to get some Dems off the voting rolls. Alleging concerns about voter fraud, originally 180,000 voters identified as potentially illegally registered noncitizens - only 22% of these were Republican while 40% were registered Dems and the remaining 38% unaffiliated. Ultimately only 207 voters Statewide, or 0.001% of registered voters, were found to be illegal.

    According to the Palm Beach Post, "the Florida Secretary of State said in a statement that the initiative "is already proving to be a successful process to identify illegally registered voters," which he noted is curcial in a state where the 2000 presidential election was decided by the U.S.Supreme Court and what R can even trust them after the healthcare decision 537 votes."

    Beg pardon, captain, completely slipped my mind. It's been removed.

    Only a matter of time before we find the dead parachutist.
