Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

This can't be good for pulling in the Hispanic vote.

I'm more concerned about American lives lost in foreign countries where we "defend our freedom."

 

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

Tony's onto something here -- Hispanics all over the nation will be voting for Self-Deportation Mitt. Especially after he spray-tanned himself their color.

 

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

Fine, you've got a "personal pet peeve", but you might give a little thought to context when airing it. The statement here was not made in a publication, it's on a message board for a community of people smart enough to understand what was actually meant. You look like a sanctimonious buffoon lecturing us about that which is already patently obvious.

And, as long as you're chastising us for that semantic error, you might also scold these liars who keep falsely claiming that Bush invaded Iraq, cut upper income taxes, Obama passed health care reform, etc. Because, under your reasoning, no president does hardly any of the shit we say they do, they just give orders, sign papers, then others do it. We say they do anyways based on the assumption the listeners have more than half of brain stem and will thus understand what was meant.

And, btw, I do find it amusing that the same guy who gave us "fuck all catholics", and then tried to defend it with the most weaselly sort of "well, you guys should know what I really meant" reasoning, has a "personal pet peeve" over this. Where was your copy editor hat that day?

 

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

Just say you love Obama, and all will be forgiven.

 

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

Forgiven? Hell, they'd elect him poster of the year.

 

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

In case you missed it, even old_tony's troll pollster from Unskewed Crazyville has crunched the latest numbers and, reluctantly, moved the President into a 2 point lead. Which is not tied, for those keeping score.

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

See, since Willard can't talk about his most (really, only) spectacular success as an executive (ORomneycare), the righties don't want Obama to be able to talk about his either.

So let's not talk about He Who Shall Not Be Named anymore.

But ... he's still dead.

 

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

Also, if you've ever wondering why all the "unskewed" polling people like tony latch onto, even as the stench of death wafts from Mitt Romney, is such statistical bunk, Talking Points Memo explains it here. "More" Democrats aren't being sampled. More people sampled now identify as Democrats, which boggles the conservative mind.

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

I stopped reading immediately after my last post here, but I cannot put into words how much I want the "The Stench" story to be legit. So much.

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

I love it so much because they are going to spend the next four years giving each other hand jobs and telling each other the only problem in 2012 was Mitt being too stiff.
