the second most loathsome guy in the United States Senate

Loathsome is a seriously underused term in political discourse, perhaps because it describes so many of those who have chosen politics as a career. So the Misty gets some dough from me.

"I have faith that good and decent people will make the right choice, and the circus will leave town before it contaminates the Oval Office."

Your pick:1) If only the Republicans had gotten someone to sweep up the elephant shit.2) Might as well call it the "Offal Office".3) Rar rar tiger blood rar rar winning rar rar Trump rar

On the subject of Charlie Sheen, it's kind of amazing how much he's turned his life around in the past eight months.

They have but most of them don't have any political power anymore because being a sane-non douchebag human being disqualifies you from running for office as a Republican.

1) Vet Swinton - he's undoubtedly a Republican running on the Dem ticket.

2) Snow, apparently, doesn't get Mormons and is carrying on the "progressive" tradition of helping elect/re-elect teabaggers... natch she's a Bernie. No surprise there.

Utahn - I'm guessing "H" is a vowel is this word. I've heard sometimes it's trans.

Well, don't go telling that to the good Utahns; you know how horrified they'd be. For my part, it is hard to say Utahn -- god that looks funny -- without three syllables.

I am begining to wonder if the democrats really represent the working class at all.....Every time a they have a vote on overtime for farm workers it is voted down and the down votes are from democrats and repubublicans.....Proves to me that a majority of democrats lawmakers are in the pockets of corporate intrests just like the republicans...I expect it from republicans after all they are all bought and paid for by corporations but democrats are supposes to be for us under dogs.....PROVEs that we need campaign finance reform or we will all be under corporate rule sooner than we think....

I second your remarks....truth if it was ever told before...The only thing a republican knows is what they are paid to say.....Parrots for the industrty....Stupid Morons....They actually give stupid a bad name.....A parrot has more sense than a republican.....As long as a republican can find a snowball they wont believe the earth is getting warmer....stupid is as stupid do and republicans do stupid well.

Mike Lee's Mormonism Promotes Porn !

by Aaronita Smith

Non-Mormon scholars as well as Mormon ones are aware of a hard-core pornographic drawing in the "Book of Abraham" which is Mormon-approved scripture.

This Book is part of the "Pearl of Great Price" which, along with the "Book of Mormon" and the "Doctrine and Covenants," make up the LDS church's "triple combination" in one volume.

The porn is found in Fig. 7 of Facsimile 2 in the "Book of Abraham" which shows two beings facing each other, which were described by Joseph Smith as representing the "Holy Ghost" and "God sitting upon his throne," the latter clearly showing an arousedmale sex organ.

After Smith published this sketch in his newspaper in 1842, which offended Mormon sensibilities, the phallic portion was whited out for more than a century until the "restored" LDS church decided in 1981 to restore what had long been censored!

Equally shocking was the discovery that the "Book of Abraham" had nothing to do with Abraham or his God but was actually based on ancient Egyptian funeral documents depicting occultic obscene practices - and the original sketches showed an erect phalluson both beings including the one Smith blasphemously claimed was the Holy Ghost!

For further information see "Book of Abraham" (Wikipedia). Also see Jerald and Sandra Tanner's "Mormonism - Shadow or Reality?" which on 76 pages reproduces the original Egyptian X-rated drawings and shows how Smith altered them and created one of hismany frauds. Highlights in the classic Tanner work can be seen by typing "Facts From Mormons (By a Utah Resident)" and "What LDS Leaders Say" on Yahoo.
