Today I spoke to a Teabagger who said Obama went to Reverend Wright's church to practice Islam! WTF?

He also stated Obama spent most of his life in Kenya and came over here when he was 21. I asked him what about the videos of the president playing High School basketball in Hawaii. He told me those videos were fabricated. I laughed in his face. He got upset and left.

Apparently, he didn't want anyone to hear how wonderful Willard Romney will be, for the country. Damn, he controls the weather AND Comcast? Makes him seem even better, to me.

We just moved my aunt into a beautiful assisted living facility and bought her a lovely big tv. We talked about 'parental control' blocking the fox station and hope she de-programs. My mom is a lost cause. She's always been wing-nutty and is only getting worse.

Unless they either bribe the person administering the test, or get the "easy" one (like the white people got in the old south), they'd get royally pissed that they were not allowed to vote.

And those guys speaking in Spanish behind them? Chances are they're fluent in English, just they don't want these people to know it.

I told him I would not discuss politics until he approached saneness . In those exact words. I am tired of arguing with a loon.

just so they could videotape someone that wasn't a member of their school team.

So many people don't have any common sense.
