Yes, well. You know about Tony Perkins.
Except the religious nut referred to in the article hasn’t yet been “restored to sanity.”
lol what great timing. T Rowe Price just sent one of those ZOMG DON’T PANIC e-mails.
Wow- the republicans are really showing how wingnutty they can be. They make the true radical socialist left (like the sparts) look like rational human beings. Lets give them credit for reclaiming the term ‘wingnut’. it was one of my most revered terms for the SF Bay Area radical left, of which I was one of. We were always describing the Peoples Park activists as wingnuts. Now I don’t know what we are gonna do.
I think the RNCC is pulling back funding because they see this election season a totally lost cause. They are gonna need every last penny for 2010 and 2012. Esp if they expect to do something with Palin on a national level.
Hang on, Toot. We know you’re a tough old bird. You want to see the election results come in.
Voted yesterday in FL, at a library. All told I was done in thirty five minutes. Would have been faster I’m sure were it not for all the gd old people. The (one) scanner appeared to be working fine. My (optical scan) ballot was two pages, front and back. I assure you people who registered just to vote for Pres are NOT going to read the whole ballot looking for that stupid marriage amendment amongst the judges, public defenders, congress, mosquito control board, county commissioner, school board, and so on.
Would I rather see Florida go red in an otherwise Obama landslide, or see Florida give gay people those, y’know, human rights things? Decisions, decisions!
Either way the whole state is a cesspool that not even David Caruso’s quips and shades can save.
Seems like citizens of countries throughout Asia and Europe are now whiners as well as Americans. Phil Gramm needs to get busy telling them to shape up.
I was watching MSNBC few minutes ago and Joe Scarborough looked strange – I think he in the bargaining stage of grief.
He announced that Caribou Barbie was expected to give her first “major foreign affairs speech.” Really, did they tutor her on the constitution first and the role of the VP. Is this attempt as pitiful as it seems to me? I mean who are they kidding. We all know she knows nothing about foreign policy.
[re=146380]Dreamer[/re]: The major foreign affairs speech is on special needs it seems
My bad. Palin is on teevee now and she is talking about special needs children. So it is a policy speech!
All Hopey has to do is robocall seniors that Walnuts wants to use rocket launchers from helicopters on all cars with their turn signals permanently left on.
Question hows is this in any manner a major foreign affairs speech?
Oh Karl, it’s too bad that the political party carcass you’re feasting on is your 1000 year reich, er, Repube Party.
“Barack Obama is in Hawaii today, taking out the trash for his ailing grandma.”
Not to be outdone, today John McCain went to his impossibly old mother’s house, separated the paper from the plastic in her recycle bin, called her a cunt and punched her in the face.
[re=146380]Dreamer[/re]:
She defends the northern invasion routes, Wayne LaPierre defends the southern routes. We can all rest easy, she’ll answer the 3:00 AM call and be in her 5 Minute Alert chopper to protect us from the big bad wolves.
[re=146369]FatCog[/re]: Mittens/Glasses 2012!
Where’s my update on Ol’ Carvyface! I really want her bullshit exposed on a triumphant scale as the final nail in the coffin.
When my company goes in the shitter and the creditors are ready to sell us off for parts, I like to call in the first Jesus-addled hockey mom I can find to forge a path to fiscal solvency.
I’d like to see the person who thinks Palin can fix something that Greenspan broke.
Several paragraphs down in the Gray Lady’s “The Republicans can pull this off!” article: “There’s
a considerable number of Republicans who say, off the record, that the 2008 cake is baked…” (alternate similes: the goose is cooked, the walnuts are smashed, the winged monkeys are cage, the wingnuts are fastened…)

…and threw her walker through the big bay window.
‘(Weld)had headed the Decker College trade school in Louisville, Ky., which shut down in 2005 amid a bankruptcy and federal and state investigations. Weld denied knowing there were any problems at the school and said he invested more than $500,000 in it.’
Not his fault. Who would have imagined that there wasn’t a goldmine to be made in investing in education for the lower classes in Kentucky?
How cute Barry is taking out the garbage for his grandma! Aloha nui loa, Toot!
Tony Perkins? Isn’t he that guy who killed his momma and Janet Leigh?
And “a major policy speech” about special needs kids from Caribou Barbie? And who said the McCain people have no sense of humor…
McCain visited his grandmother at the Museum of Natural History. Her name is Australopithecus Africuntis.
A FoxNews commenter makes a campaign pitch!
- “Obama is nothing but a scumbag. He’s the scummiest candidate ever to run for the White House. Please anyone with a conscious make sure you vote for McCain on Nov 4th. Don’t listen to the polls, they are lying to us like Obama has lied to us over and over again. The msm wants the people not supporting this trash to stay at home it’s over, but it’s not. We can stop this EVIL man from being elected.”

Harriet Christian?
[re=146435]magic titty[/re]: ‘Please anyone with a conscious make sure you vote for McCain on Nov 4th.’ Awesome.
Karl Rove is just Channeling Bill Kristol
So that’s how non-Maverick’s treat the women in their lives. What a contrast.
[re=146370]Terry[/re]: Amen. I pray to the God I don’t believe in that she sees her little Hopey Shark God elected. It is bad enough that his mother is not here.
[re=146386]Tommy Says Soooo[/re]: speaking of robocalls, both my husband and I are registered Dems who already voted for Obama in VA. We have now had ten (10) calls from McCain and Tom Ridge in the past WEEK telling us Obama is a Muslin Half Breed terrorist and so we have to vote for McCain. How the hell we got on this list is a mystery, and since these are taped, I cannot excoriate the volunteer and get off the list. It is quite annoying. The Obama calls, on the other hand, have been live, and the volunteers incredibly polite and sincere, and the last one agreed to take me off the call list when I asked and noted I had already voted and given money repeatedly. She even apologized profusely for troubling me, which she really hadn’t.
Shout out to Governor Weld for endorsing Obama AND being a lifelong Dead Head.
DEADHEADS FOR OBAMA!!!
[re=146378]mattbolt[/re]: A friend of mine and her family just voted in Florida – for McCain – and all 3 of them also voted against the ban on gay marriage, on the grounds that it was too much government involvement in marriage.
I don’t understand the logic of putting the two together, but it makes me feel a lot more confident about the marriage ban failing in Florida. I would not mind if FL narrowly went red in an otherwise Obama landslide. I hate Florida and will only go back to visit this friend for short periods of time, or to visit gay Mickey Mouse.
For what it’s worth: the “gay marriage ban” isn’t a gay marriage ban. It’s just being called that to get uninformed, fearful voters to the polls. In fact, nearly every major news organization AND several prominent politicians (on both sides of the aisle) oppose it.
If you live in Florida (as I do), EDUCATE YOURSELF before voting!! This amendment will take away YOUR (straight, God-loving) rights, too. And possibly your grandmother’s.
[re=146389]dano[/re]: Yes, but did he remember to carve the B on her face?
