Shit I need to get out of my head.

how did "Stand Your Ground" become "Chase Him Down"?

If the TEA Party is so powerful, how is it Mittens for the nominee?

Republican Party, was that really the best you had to offer?

An old guy I know is convinced that Obama will take his guns away if he's re-elected...I suggested his family should take them away now.

How the Fuck does Ted Nugent get a free pass while they crucified the Dixie Chicks?

Ann Romney, stay at home Mom = Mrs. Howell, survivalist.

Is the Republican party one major victory away from major backlash for their toxic policies?


that's it...for now. Got to get back to work...

9. As for the taking guns away nonsense
Mon Apr 23, 2012, 02:51 PM

You might as well make it profitable. Anytime one of these nitwits starts going off about how "Obama's gonna grab muh guns," make them write it down, and provide their best estimate of the day that's going to happen. Then bet them $10 that it won't, and the bet doubles for every month after that when it doesn't happen. So, if Obama's going to take their bang-bangs away the day after his second inaugural, that would January 22, 2013. When it doesn't happen, nitwit owes you $10. But they can get $20 from you if it happens by February 22. Otherwise, it's another $20 from them to you. $40 by March 22, and so forth.

Make them put some money where their paranoia is. If they refuse, then tell them to shut up until they can start making some sense.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - Charles and David Koch and their buddies are the only people in this world who can accurately be called terrorists - the damage that their little tea party has done in two years will take decades to undo. They should be locked up and tried for treason for what they did.

the only thing I can come up with is that you can't f*ck with Republicans. If Nugent would have said the same thing about Romney, Palin, McCain, Bush, etc., he's also be crucified as the Chicks were. Doesn't seem fair, but I guess that's they way it works?

The Dixie Chicks pissed off their core fanbase, that being country music listeners. That demographic is absolutely rife with conservatives. Criticizing Dubya was just bad business sense.

Nugent, on the other hand, is expressing the views of his core fanbase nigh-on verbatim. Of course they'll support him!

Consider if Conan O'Brien were to start spouting off a lot of Republican tripe. His audience would find somewhere else to go real fast, wouldn't you think? It's less a matter of politics than it is of pissing off the people you depend on to keep your wallet fat.
