Republican: Look, I've seen all the Palins and Bachmanns and Gingriches and Cains, etc., that I ever want to see. What else you got? Surprise me! Dealer: Wellsuh... we got a nice, second-hand Mormon you might like - not exciting, but good hair. High mileage but runs OK. Republican: Aw, jeez, I dunno... and? Dealer: Over here we got... a Paint Creek Perry. Never lost a race, they say. But also ain't never run outside Texas. Republican: I'm doomed, ain't I? Punk: 'Fraid so. Welcome to the Republican stock show.

Read an interesting memoir by a horse trader/auctioneer some years ago, He always said if the horses he sold were lame or had a bad eye. These 2 look like they were “gingered up” a bit

I voted for that illegal alien, Muslim terrorist with an IQ over 100, will do so again BUT I must truly admit maybe I should vote for the Republican, if they win then I guess, from what they have said, I will again see miracles performed…

I’ll quote the late Texas native Molly Ivins when referening GW Bush.., “The next time I tell you someone from Texas should not be elected President of The United States please pay attention.”

I can’t figure out if you just say these things because you wish they were true, or because you think no one would ever check to see if they are true or not. Your “facts” are complete lies. First, Barack Obama lost a primary race for the house in 2000. Second, and most importantly, he SPONSORED 137 BILLS while in the Senate. Here’s a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bills_sponsored_by_Barack_Obama_in_the_United_States_SenateBut I’m sure you won’t, or can’t read it. He stood for quite a number of things you bumbling corporate tool!

if you just grab a beer and sit down to watch one of these republican variety shows that burps up on the tube occasionally, you won’t have to throw out garbage about these people. they do it for you. looks like a shoo-in for bho’s reelection. i suppose a libertarian government is wishful.

They look a lot alike, don’t they?Regarding Mitt, I’m from Michigan and I remember when his dad George was governor. To paraphrase Lloyd Bentsen, Mitt’s no George Romney.

I am waiting for Obama to question Romney about polygamy. That debate is going to be sweet.

Oh, Harley! : Abe Lincoln once said that ‘if you say nothing, people may think you are stupid. Do not open your mouth and remove all doubt.’ Obama lost an election when he ran against a Chicago “machine” candidate. You obviously(or obliviously) know nothing about the “Chicago way”. You also know nothing about Obama’s voting record. You also know nothing about what a “present” vote means in the Illinois General Assembly. Such consistent stupidity on your part makes it look like you repeat only those things that you have heard about Mr. Obama that you want to believe. Perhaps you should ask yourself why you wish to believe such negative things without checking to see if they are true.

It’s all foolishness if you ask me: the incestuous relationship between our current government and large incorporated entities (NGO’s and unions too) has degenerated to the point that I can’t take either party very seriously. Take job creation as an example. The government says it wants to “create jobs”, but what is meant is “try to resurrect a dead economic model”. No one is actually trying to come up with good ways that people can be put to productive use, and besides, all they really want is for Americans to spend the way we used to. Balderdash & Humbug is all I hear.

The public has yet to pay serious attention to the fact that both Perry and Bachmann have strong ties to the Dominionist movement, which seeks to overturn both the Constitution and rule of law and replace it with Biblical Law.

“And Barack was / is capable of running the country?”With all the Republicans who publicly stated as determined to make sure Obama doesn’t have any successes, the question is will he be allowed to do his job. We all know the answer: no, playing politics is more important to the Republican leadership than letting Obama do his job.“I hope he fails! I hope he fails! I hope he fails! I hope he fails!…” – Rush Limbaugh

i like the folks who bitch when saying Obama doesn’t have any political experience, then bitch when politicians run the country.
Which is it, do you want politicians in the White House or not?
