Over the weekend in Wheeling, Illinois, to a raucous crowd of eight to nine undecided voters, Representative Joe Walsh, avid Tea Partier, said a very cordial thing about the President: he's only in the position that he's in so that we, America, could finally say that we aren't racist ("One of my presidents is black").
At first Dubya made us feel especially good about ourself -- being the nation's first reta-- ... um, special President.
<i>&quot;John McCain was about 142 years old,&quot;</i> Walsh said, demonstrating the math skills that got him $100,000 behind on child support -- or, as he calls not paying, &quot;freedom&quot;.
Cheer up Joe, you&#039;ll be a historic figure soon. That is, your congressional career will be history.
&quot;&quot;The country voted for him because of that. It made us feel good about [our]self.&rdquo;
I felt good more because I voted <i>against</i> McCain/Palin then I did voting for Barry. So, while I might have felt good about myself personally, seeing the shock and horror displayed by the people who woke up to find themselves governed by a black man made me feel worse about my country overall.
It must suck living in a constant state of fear, huh?
tammy&#039;s awesome. i&#039;m helping with the campaign - though not in her district (burbs) so can&#039;t actually vote for her.
as a hyde park bum once said to me: &#039;Give Us Money&#039; <a href="http://www.tammyduckworth.com/" target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.tammyduckworth.com/">http://www.tammyduckworth.c...
(though i&#039;m sure someone has given you this already).
Well, it made <i>me</i> feel so good, Imma gonna do it again.
Didn&#039;t she run for office, only to put through a brutal campaign by her &quot;consevative&quot; opponent?
Or am I thinking of Mr. Bacus? As Kid Shelleen said, &quot;Oh - the booze...&quot;
HaHa! True.
On the bright side, the village now knows who its idiots are.
FIRST THREE ROWS MAY GET WET
The will of the electorate accidentally won the day. I wonder what went wrong.
So Obama won because the GOP fielded a pathetic pair of candidates against him?
1. Fail to learn from history. 2. ??? 3. Obama wins in 2012.
Joe: Hello, my name is Joe and I&#039;m an alcoholic.
Group: Hi Joe! That&#039;s where you start man! We&#039;re glad you&#039;re here!
Joe: I&#039;m a wealthy man, but I haven&#039;t paid child support in years.
Group: Wow...you&#039;re an asshole!
So, nine, nine, nine?
You can&#039;t argue with a sick mind, and there aren&#039;t many sicker.
&quot;Grow up?&quot; Of course!
How often do folks suggest one &quot;grow down?&quot;
Insta-poll results: Walsh 7, empty chair 93.
