Romney Implies Obama Will Remove God From Coins, Obama Campaign Fires Back
Source: TPM
Mitt Romney suggested Saturday in Virginia Beach that President Obama wants to remove God from coins, provoking a fierce retort from the president's campaign. "I will not take God out of our platform," the Republican nominee said after reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. "I will not take God off our coins, and I will not take God out of my heart." In response, Obama spokeswoman Lis Smith called the insinsuation false and an act of desperation. "It’s disappointing to see Mitt Romney try to throw a Hail Mary by launching extreme and untrue attacks against the President and associating with some of the most strident and divisive voices in the Republican Party, including Rep. Steve King and Pat Robertson," she said in a statement. "This isn’t a recipe for making America stronger, it’s a recipe for division and taking us backward."

I hear then with the wingnuts say, "If the gays can get married, then that threatens my marriage!"
Really? So if Joe and Steve, or Heather and Jessica from down the street get married, does mean that the average wingnut is suddenly going to be filled with the overwhelming urge to divorce his/her spouse and marry another person of the same gender? If so, well, then the wingnuts clearly have some issues they need to address. Mostly a sweet, sweet (yet oh-so-forbidden) yearning for hot, sweaty gay sex. C'mon wingnuts; fess up. You know you want it.  |

something H.P. Lovecraft wrote about the Puritans and their obsession with sexuality as well.
Essentially, because they were so sexually inhibited, their inhibition turned into a morbid fascination with sexuality which degenerated into an unhealthy and ultimately perverse obsession. Seriously; you've got to wonder. I've read some of the posts over at FR when I'm trawling around over there, and these "upright, God-fearing Christian folk" sure do have an almost encyclopedic knowledge of gay sex. Guess they must watch a lot of gay porn. For research, of course.  |

In that 30 seconds, every RWNJ head in America would explode simultaneously. But that's just me and my warped sense of humor.

I have no problem making adjustments for folks that find offense where I did not know it existed.... and have no problem making a change, for you, and others that might take offense to my using Barrack Obama's initials?
a couple last items... If I were a repug like you might have been implying in your post, I would have used the initials BHO, since they ALWAYS make sure everybody is reminded of President Obama's 'exotic' middle name. also, my initials happen to be 'TP', you know what that stands for? I have had those initials, last time I checked... my entire life and I have never taken offense and actually find it kind of funny that I got stuck with that one. I say, with all kindness... try not to be so judgemental... your comment would have been taken with appreciation and gratitude, but you had to throw that little zinger in, what up? anyhow - Peace!!!  |
