    A very clever cartoon, but I think if anybody takes his lumps from the Donald’s participation, it’ll be Romney.

    And harley knows everything he says about Obama is true, coz he got it from fringe-right blogs, which is th’ true voice of Jeebus on th’ Earth.

    I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, Every time I log on to this forum, some Repub is yapping, ‘Why doesn’t Obama run on his record?"

    All right then why isn’t Romney running AGAINST that record, instead of playing the race card? ( Yes, it is…at this point, birtherism IS playing th race card. )

    And why the heck would Mitt want the endorsement of this loser vice-king anyway? Trump’s gone bankrupt HOW many times? ( And without ANY help from Bain Capital, don’tcha know? )

    When I was just starting out as a writer, I did an article for a magazine, and the editor asked me for information for a short bio to be attached. I mentioned, among other things, that I was working on a novel. When the bio appeared, I was transformed into “a novelist”, which I think means someone who has published a novel. I was kind of amused, but I never corrected the error, and it was picked up by another magazine and reprinted. I never did publish that novel, or any other novel that I wrote. But it’s on record, I’m a novelist.

    One more thing, harley…there’s a LOT more evidence to support the claim that Herman Cain engaged in sexual harrassment than there is to support any one of your allegations against Obama.

    But which did you buy into, without fact-checking even once?

    Like I said before, for you the truth is what you WANT to hear.

    His birth certificate, as official as any citizen’s, is freely available on the internet. Google it. If you fail to believe it, you’re either a tin-hat Obama hater who doesn’t care for the truth when it’s staring you in the face, or you should at least be able to come up with one teeny plausible piece of evidence, which Trump has totally failed to do. His performance on talk shows recently (“I’m not going over old stories.” “I don’t name names.”) shows pretty clearly that it’s not that Trump is an idiot, it’s that he’s an evil fraud.

    Skipping all the repetitive, predictable political bickering – this was a very clever bridge joke but I have to wonder if anyone under 60 understands the bidding reference?

    47th in job creation in Massachusetts. Why won’t he explain THAT? How about the property tax increase that took effect under his reign? Why won’t romney show his real birth cirtificate? Why won’t he prove he is not a unicorn? Why won’t the right wing media explain ANY of this?

    “When you start at 50 and move up to 47 then that is a better record”The governor of Massachusetts before romney, ALSO a republican. Paul Cellucci and Jane Swift (after paul became an ambasador.) The current governor is democrat Deval Patrick who brought massachusetts up to 41. It may not sound like much, but its proof that jobs grow faster under democrats.“Obama losing the USA credit rating.”Actually, S&P blamed it on A) the fact that the debt celing was used as a bargening chip. And B) a refusal to realize that taxs had to increase to fix the debt. Both of which can be placed square on the neon orange shoulders of speaker boner. Remember, he “got 98% of what he wanted”. And he was happy.

    You’ve never had that exchange….not with anyone.

    It goes more like this:

    Your response ot any allegations regarding a Republican. no matter how well documented.

    Yawn!

    Your response to any allegation you find against Obama on a right-wing blog, nobodyy ever heard of: until now:

    *YAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

    Because I don’t consider Right-Wing Evangelical Christians to be Christians. I think of them as 21st Century Pharisees.

    I also have a problem with people who strut around carrying a chip on their shoulder, and tell everyone it’s a Cross.

    Jesus constantly preached humility ( Read the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector ) And most ( not all ) of the Right-Wing Evangelicals I’ve known have been about as modest at the average peacock. Heck, read His descritpion fo the way the Pharisee prayed in the temple and then look at any picture of Evangelicals prayiing. Except for the eyes being closed, same thing.

    Lastly, in reponse to your telling me that I’ll have to answer for my comments on judgement day ( That IS what you meant, right? ), I have four words for you. You might want to keep them in mind, because I think you’re going to be hearing them again some day:

    1. I2. Never3. Knew4. You
