Great post-election results

Even if Captain Intertubes wins, we can survive as long as he is always referred to thusly:

Convicted felon Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, also was slightly ahead of Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich in his re-election bid.

Fun’s not over:

“If we wanted to create a true conservative movement in America, we would need to switch our basic mode of thinking from that of the post-Enlightenment, individualist, nation-state-defined Europe to that of Middle-Ages, family-defined, feudal Christendom. Only a movement that does not have its roots in liberal (i.e. Enlightenment) ideals — liberty, equality, fraternity, and so forth — is worthy of the name “conservative”.

Much hilarity over at Ace’s place

DelD Offers His Congratulations Speech
—Ace

So Obama won. It’s not the end of the world. Everybody chill out.

….

Politics isn’t our life, and if we lose an election cycle, we’re still going to be happier as a group then they will ever be, even after they’ve won this one.

Like they always do, hardcore liberal voters have placed all their hopes and dreams into one, terribly flawed, terribly human basket. And without doubt they will be terribly disappointed, especially when they learn they’ve still got to pay their own mortgage and buy their own gas.

Don’t give the fucktards on the left the satisfaction of seeing you all act like a bunch of hysterical schoolgirls. They’re the ones who can’t take defeat. We can take our lumps, get up, and keep fighting. We should be Happy Warriors. whose proper response to this is mockery, good humor, and hard work. We lost and elction, but we’re still right, and they’re still wrong.

Anyway, it’s time to cowboy up, and get ready for the next go round.

Somehow, I’ve never perceived wingnuts as “happy” never mind “happier.” I can’t begin to visualize what he means by “Happy Warrior” but this makes me laugh to no end.

Yes, cowboy up, on that pony of yours with the broken saddle and busted knees. No sore losers in your team.

 
 

More Ace, who must be heavily into the glue

McCain lost honorably, as he wanted. I guess that’s what really matters in the end.

Drunk as helll … overjoyed. Everything is different, yet nothing has changed yet.

Fucking pissed as hell that Prop 8 looks like it will pass. WTF? The gays stepped up to the plate to Obama and it is goddamned time for African Americans to get over teh Gaynesss. Get your shit in order, peoples!

Seriously, my partner (hetero) and I were planning on getting married next summer because we finally felt good about it since all of our friends could do so, too. Now … I dunno. FUCK YOU WINGNUGGETS! Your bigotry ruined my traditional marriage.

 
 

I’m pretty sure that CNN just said that Obama was born in Kenya.

CALL LARRY JOHNSON!

Oh, the next person corrected it.

The gays stepped up to the plate to Obama and it is goddamned time for African Americans to get over teh Gaynesss. Get your shit in order, peoples!

I saw that exit poll data and was really surprised how big the difference was. It’s fucking sad that Obama (who not coincidentally is chickenshit on issues pertaining to The Gay) is probably a major cause of Prop 8 passing.

It’s absolutely horrible for the people directly affected by this, people who were already married in CA, whose rights are now going to be dragged through agonizing court battles. Makes me relatively proud to be a New Yorker, where existing marriages aren’t in question.

IT’S NOT OVER!!!! MORE BREAKING NEWS FROM SWING STATES!!!!

http://fafblog.blogspot.com/

 
 

I’m afraid that I’m going to have to help Fox Nooz’ ratings today, because I’m going to watch every one of those god damn f***ers squirm today. Starting with Fux & Fiends.

 
 

Incidentally, Georgia’s votes are anything but counted. There’s about 2 million votes missing. It’s possible that they haven’t yet counted the 2 million early voters,, because the state is claiming only 3.1 million voters.

 
 

“Anyway, it’s time to cowboy up, and get ready for the next go round.”

Oddly enough, that’s also the phrase most often heard in Ace’s bedroom.

“Don’t give the fucktards on the left the satisfaction of seeing you all act like a bunch of hysterical schoolgirls”

Waaaay, way past that point, spanky. Why don’t to you give the API a call? That might cheer you up, hmm?

I swear to god, everything Ace says is three times funnier then it should be, because he looks like a doped-up George Lucas.

 
 

I can’t begin to visualize what he means by “Happy Warrior” but this makes me laugh to no end.

Particularly since the real Happy Warrior, Al Smith, was a NY Democrat with liberal views on social policy.

 
 

You people want the crazy?

You can’t handle the crazy!

 
 

So is he also the first president-elect to mention gay in the second sentence of his acceptance speech?
Jeeez, enjoy it for a bit.

Oh, that API site is teh too funny.

Are these heads exploding actually roadside bombs? Cannot tell. Drunk. But it is night here in the rest of the world, hooray!

Perhaps a protest outside LATimes would help? Is the tape being held in Gitmo?

Good god!!! That must be it!!! The LATimes is waterboarding the tape!!

Might I suggest an appeal to actual, real, federal courts?

 
 

I didn’t dream the whole thing, did I?

 
 

Anyone noticed that the Franken/Coleman results are starting to look an awful lot like the 2000 prez race played out in minature (Coleman “won” by about 700 votes, the conservative outlets like Fox and talk radio have declared him the winner, while the less Fox-ian outlets note this will trigger an automatic recount and the winner won’t be determined for days).

What’s the old saying “the first time’s tragedy, the second comedy,” or something like that?

 
 

Prop 8 passed? oh fuck.

But if 2/5ths of the vote in georgia hasn’t been counted, chambliss is going to loose. He is only at 50.3%, and the majority of the early votes will be a straight dem ticket.

I think prop 8 just shows how fucking useless it is to leave issues of basic human rights to the states. You can’t have a “united” states of america if half of it can’t agree on things like human rights. Even the supreme court isn’t really permanent enough, it suffers from ideological swings from generation to generation. Only a constitutional amendment would cut it.. but that isn’t on the cards.

I think it is time to ditch “gay marriage” and start pushing for legal rights under the banner of “civil unions” or whatever bullshit title is necessary to make it palatable to the jesus freaks. Speaking as a citizen of a country that has “civil unions” I can tell you that the official title doesn’t matter a damn. Society chooses the title, and my society chose to just call it “marriage”.

 
 

The cruelest irony of Prop 8 passing due in great part– if the exit polls can be believed– to anti-gay African-Americans is the Mormon church’s long history of racism, including nearly being taken to federal court because the Mormons wouldn’t allow African-Americans to hold leadership positions in groups like the Boy Scouts.

But this is also an area where the “No on 8” forces failed in a much needed early strategy and something gay rights proponents should learn from: we should have come at the Mormons hard from the beginning, saying “if you’re going to start pushing your way into this debate, then– fine– but we’re going to specifically make your church’s history of racism a HUGE issue. Ad after ad after ad after ad on the Mormons and racism until every single man, woman, and child in the nation, let alone the state of California, is well aware of your (even recent) disgusting, filthy record on race.

I can guarantee you this is an area the Mormons do NOT want in the public eye. They would have slinked off from prop 8, and we’d likely now be celebrating the success of “No on Prop 8.” And even if the Mormons hadn’t run away, enough of the minority vote would have been repelled by what they’d learned that they wouldn’t have been so keen on voting for a Proposition with such a Mormon stench.

 
 

Indeed. Fuck the mormons. Those crazy cultist bastards arn’t ever voting democratic, so screw them. They desperately want legitimacy.. So hold this over their heads. Make it clear that unless they drop the racist bigoted shit, they wont EVER get validation as an acceptable, mainstream jesus cult.

 
 

Remember, remember, the 5th of November,

Oh joy, it’s the survivalist/militia movement from the 90s starting anew.

It’s pretty funny that a bunch of pasty middle-aged white guys sitting comfortably in their suburban gated communities think they could resist Fascist Dictator Hussein X with a few handguns and rifles. I mean, either the military is against you, in which case you vs. a tank = FAIL. Or they’re noble America-loving patriots who stage a military coup, and they didn’t need your fat ass anyway.

Logic never gets in the way of a good masturbatory fantasy, though.

 
 

So, I haven’t read the text or Prop 8, but I keep hearing that the status of the marriages performed when it was legal is in jeopardy. Isn’t there some sort of ex post facto challenge in that?

Alternatively, I suppose that a whole bunch of hetero couples could cancel their impending nuptials or file for divorce as a “fuck you, you slimy bigots” protest.

Eh. Apparently, in spite of our glorious victory, I’m still tired and cranky.

 
 

It doesn’t even take the military. Local police forces in the US are equipped, trained, and experienced in dealing with shootouts on that kind of scale. One wingnut couldn’t hold off the local police for more than an hour. A dozen couldn’t last more than a day.

So.. These militias. Are they going to have more members or better gear than the average inner city gang? Probably not. These survivalists.. Are they going to be able to last more than a week in the woods without electricity and cheetos? Probably not. What happens to them when they waste all their ammo shooting at empty beer cans, drop the GPS in a river, and run out of beef jerky? When they die cold and alone, will their bones eventually be dug up by palaeontologists who use their skulls as evidence for a paper on their theory that cro-magnon man survived until the 21st century?

 
 

OMG….Have you seen revolution being planned over at Pammy’s Atlas Shruggs site?

It is truly something to see. Go and see how the “other side” oozes.

 
 

Remember, remember, the 5th of November,

Mah earlier comment got eated.

Glenn Blechh is yammering about “strict Constitutionalism” and “Americans are so ill-informed” and “buy my shitty book” and “join the NRA” and “Sarah Palin was destroyed because the liberals hate average people who challenge the status quo” and “Obama is a Marxist but successfully hid it by running as a centrist” and “Rev. Wright’s theology is Communist” but the best part?

A call to resist the politics of fear.

This from the guy who whined about nobody comemmorating the six month anniversary of 9/11. Rich.

 
 

A convicted felon in the Senate?
Won’t last very long … after all, that makes all the other felons look bad.

If (as some have speculated) Palin extrudes her politically ambitious tentacles yet again & gloms Stevens’ seat when he gets the boot, you can stop turning her over & pull out the stick. Done like dinner – or the after-lunch snack that her fellow Senators will make of her.

When she has to actually DO something more challenging than remodelling her office, autographing bumper-stickers or signing checks, America will see what an utter dipshit just ran for VP … mmm, just imagine how, er, UNIQUELY a “Palin Bill” would be drafted – let alone the nature of its contents.

 
 

Is S,N! getting a DOS attack?

Or is everyone just hungover?

 
 

I would just like to keep a promise and officially Eat Crow for my predictions of doom not so long ago. I thought that McCain’s nomination of Palin was a brilliant move, but I didn’t count on them squandering it so easily. Seriously, even with the financial crisis, they could have done it better. But they didn’t and were (thankfully) easily outclassed.

I still think that the margin of victory in terms of popular vote would have been greater with Hillary Clinton, but that’s hypothetical now and you can’t argue with success. I had other reasons for preferring Clinton as well, but Obama is miles better than what we’ve got.

Now Bush has a few months left of damage to do.

 
 

Just a little morning schadenfreude for everyone.

Rick Santorum’s vote was challenged and will not (yet) be counted.

To those who are wondering if Palin will pick herself to succeed Teh Tubes, I remind you, Alaska, after witnessing an act of nepotism egregious enough to shock people willing to vote in a convicted felon, no longer allows the Governor to appoint Senatorial replacements. She can run in the Special, I suppose, but frankly, I sort of like our boy Begich’s chances there. He’s already been campaigning for it.

It also appears that the political experts in right blogistan can’t be bothered to figure out that appointment thingee, either.

In other Palin news, her spending sprees were worse than previously thought.

Winning quote,

An angry aide characterized the shopping spree as “Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast,” and said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books.

Except, of course, the part about truth and Republican books.

Please, God, let this woman run in ’12. I can’t imagine her getting very far, or making it to the general, but oh, the damage she’d do in the primary would leave such a trail of wreckage.

No duck has ever been quite as lame as he is as of this morning, & those who helped him to get there aren’t likely to be very enthusiastic about emptying yet another chamberpot all over themselves for Teh Decider.

I think his cronies (many of whom will still be employed after January) need only but to whisper the phrase “state’s evidence” & his urge to make mischief will promptly subside. Otherwise, he may be the first POTUS to leave the White House prematurely – as the guest of honor in the back of an FBI PartyVan.

RUGGED IN MONTANA
 

Dear Sadlynaughts,

I’m writing this from the 33rd level of my basement lair, 666 feet under the soil of Montana, where I’ve hyperbarically enclosed myself in my badgerproof vault. Somewhere overhead, Kenyan troops, having arrived in masses of black helicopters, are scouring the countryside of The Heartland of The USA of America, looking for Patriots like me. They’ll never take me alive.

I suppose I can console myself that if McKain had won, my evil inner personality, Bruce the Hairdresser, would’ve slaughtered my poor old cow, Daisy, as part of a blood ritual to his god, Moloch. Bruce is so delusional now that he thinks I’m a cattle rancher (I’m not, I’m a dental floss farmer, as my family has been for generations).

Still, I can’t live in a world where the President of the Americas is a Muslin Communist who will install Shania Law and force me to wear a burkha after my manditory abortion. Old Rugged wasn’t made for a life like that, so I’ll wait out the slaughter that is going on at the surface of the land, and I’ll spend my time down here eating Civil Defense Saltines and cleaning my fully erect M1A1 Battle rifle (which is no carbine, I’ll tell you that!).

I pity you DEMONcraps as you know not what you did. You think it will be fun to live under a Caliphate (maybe in California, but nowhere else) and to be woken at 4:00 am by your Muslin overlords demanding you uulate your praise for Islamica from morning to night, without any bacon in sight, Poor, poor stupid LIEbrals, what have you done???

Hey – here is a promise Obama didn’t make: “I will protect this country from attack.”

Amen to that! As part of my security plans, I’m protecting my bunghole by inserting a special device that is held in place by two wetsuits. No one will attack me unawares!

 
 

I tell you what, liberals, if Obama does as Bush has, and his policies prevent terrorism from being delivered to this country, I will give him the credit you liberals hatefilly withheld from Bush.

Like you’d even admit it if he did. Don’t make me laugh. Most of the terrorists in the US look just like Bush — inbred white guys with a huge sense of entitlement and beady little eyes. I don’t notice anyone on the right even acknowledging that fact, let alone doing anything about it. Your side is the one that thinks Eric Rudolph and James Charles Kopp are heroes, after all, and wouldn’t be nearly so down on Timothy McVeigh if the building he’d blown up had only been full of doctors and pregnant women. That kind of terrorism has only gotten worse over the last eight years, thanks to shitbags on the right who think eliminationist rhetoric is just fine, torture is cool, and women are subhuman.

Frankly, I think if Bush did anything to stop terrorism in the US, it was by putting Americans where they’re easier to kill. After all, why fly all the way from Saudi or Pakistan, try to get through US Customs, and then maybe kill some Americans if you’re lucky, when you can just go to Iraq or Afghanistan (in the neighbourhood, practically!) with your very own gun and kill some Americans there?

 
 

Let’s be considerate and not make TOO MUCH NOISE.

For my part i’m very happy that my fears of vote suppression turned out to be for nothing, either the ratfucking efforts were insufficient to overcome the wave of dedicated new democrats, or they were never that well organized at all. Mea Culpa!

I’m not blog-whoring here, but I have a small (tres small) Janitorial and Building Maintenance business.

You don’t want to let that stuff dry up there. You’ll never get the stains out then. And the liability! Your employees are breathing that stuff!

Man, it must suck to be a wingnut today. Ever since his nomination was announced, they’ve been yowling about how he’s a horrible human being Our Next President* is. Calling him a “socialist” and “Marxist”, even though not wingnut one apparently knows what either word means. Casting asparagus on his wife and his family and his upbringing and his values and his faith and anything they can think of, most of which were out and out lies. Pretending that he was hiding something or lying or using some sort of liberal guilt to fool white people. Appealing to the very worst aspects of American character, not to mention fear, loathing, greed, divisivness and hatred. Claiming that the only reason anyone would vote for him is because they hated some portion of the population. Lies, hatred, racism, loathing, fear and greed were the wingnut playbook.

And not only did the American People tell the wingnuts to take a long walk off a short peer, the wingnut candidates got fucking stomped in the process. Man. That’s gotta hurt.

* Man, I love saying that. Say it with me: “Barak Obama is Our Next President”.

“So what’s going to be the latency between Obama’s concession statement and the sounds of gunfire in the inner city?”

“I’m genuinely pleased to see my liberal droogs having fun with my story. It’s the least I can do, given the massive, soul-crushing event that is going to happen on Tuesday.

Have a nice Halloween and get ready for an … um… eventful next week!”

“Yeah, I didn’t think you could do it either. Guess Obama will fall even further under 50% on Tuesday.”

The Whole Truth: What He Actually Did

*sticks fingers in ears* I can’t feel shame for it if I can’t hear you ever say what it was I never said, no I didn’t! Anyway, I’ve got a surprise for you later!

Apparently I was wrong. There don’t appear to be massive numbers of votes not counted in Georgia, mainly because our state is filled with a bunch of lazy a**-holes who didn’t show up to g** d*** vote.

Despite the buzz surrounding this year’s election and heavy early turnout, a lower percentage of Georgia voters actually turned out this year than in 2004, according to the Secretary of State’s office.

So far — and there are still absentee ballots outstanding — 74.1 percent of active registered voters cast ballot in this election, said Matt Carrothers, spokesman for the Secretary of State’s office.

In the 2004 presidential election, 77.3 percent voted, he said.

As of early afternoon Wednesday, 3,852,636 of Georgia’s 5,184,000 million “active” voters cast ballots in the presidential election, according to the Secretary of State’s office. About 2 million, or 53 percent of those who voted this year, did so before Election Day, officials said.

Carrothers said “active” voters are those who are newly registered, have updated registration, have mailed information to the state office or have voted in the last two federal elections.

All told, there are about 5.8 million total registered voters.

Carrothers said 3,285,140 people voted in the 2004 election. He said that year there were 4,248, 802 active voters and 4,951,955 total.

Yeah. Thanks, fellow Georgians. Thanks for not being willing to wait in line, the horror, the horror. F*** you, you lazy freaks.

 
 

Ahem.

FUCK YOU CALIFORNIAN BIGOT PRICKS, I SINCERELY HOPE YOU ALL FALL DOWN A FUCKING MINESHAFT YOU ABSOLUTE AND UTTER FUCKING *CUNTS*.

I just talked to my Alaskan correspondent and he said people just didn’t want to send a Dem to the Senate so they voted for the convict. Shocking considering the polls showed Begich up by at least 15% in the final days.

For now on the Big Truck Effect will refer to dopes who lie to pollsters because they won’t tell anyone they’re going to vote for a convict.

 
 

Hey – here is a promise Obama didn’t make: “I will protect this country from attack.”
Could it be that the US voters were not looking for a big strong daddy who would promise them a safe predictable surprise-free future, and maybe a bedtime story if they were good?

 
 

Twoof (quoted above at 22:10):

I’m genuinely pleased to see my liberal droogs having fun with my story. It’s the least I can do, given the massive, soul-crushing event that is going to happen on Tuesday.

His prediction was entirely correct. A massive, soul-crushing event did happen on Tuesday. He just misjudged whose souls were going to be crushed.

 
 

Hey – here is a promise Obama didn’t make: “I will protect this country from attack.”

Hmm. Don’t think Bush made that one either – & if he did, he broke it, big-time. Funnelled big bucks to his SDI buddies for a “Star Wars Jr.” program instead of doing the necessary gruntwork to stop 9/11, yet always found space on his dance-card for yet another vacation … & blew his nose on the numerous warnings that it was coming – for month after month.

Worst attack on an American city since the British torched Washington in 1814, c/o the Republicans.

“Now watch this swing.”

If he keeps us as safe as Bush has, I will give him credit. Why are you liberals so reluctant to join me on that? Is it because – O NOES – you’d have to admit that the Bush Doctrine of pursuing terrorists to the end of the Earth has been effective?

Can’t admit what isn’t true, dude. Talk to some Americans working in the Mideast sometime, especially those employed in the diplomatic corps, & see how much “safer” they feel now than they did in, say, the 90s.

In case you didn’t notice, US Embassies have gone off like firecrackers ever since Uncle Georgie went on his “crusade” of pre-emptive slaughter, even more so than under Clinton – & they are by law on American soil. That particular talking-point is deader than Elvis.

You also sort of conveniently skipped over the REAL reason Al-Quaeda has left the continental US alone since 2001, which they’ve quite gleefully stated over & over for years now: Bush & Cheney have done their bidding, both in removing US military bases from Saudi Arabia, & in spending America into the ditch on a war against an adjective – doing exactly what bin Laden & his cohorts wanted. When your enemy is beating himself to a pulp, you don’t get in the way.

 
 

If he keeps us as safe as Bush has, I will give him credit.

Lie #1.

the Bush Doctrine of pursuing terrorists to the end of the Earth has been effective

Lie #2.

Why are you liberals so reluctant to join me on that?

Not a lie per se, but a question asked in extremely bad faith.

Now, Truth, would you care to explain why you’ve been completely wrong these last three months?

Hey – here is a promise Obama didn’t make: “I will protect this country from attack.”

*AHEM*

I will never hesitate to defend this country and our critical interests. That is why I am the only candidate who has made it clear that we cannot tolerate any safe-haven for terrorists who threaten America. But we must also use all elements of national power to combat the threats of the 21st century, and that means deploying the power of American diplomacy before we deploy our troops. That is why we must be willing to talk to the leaders of all nations – friend and foe.

How did you want your crow cooked, beeyatch?

 
 

El Cid, when would Georgians have time to vote? They were much too busy hiding voting machines and sedating poll workers so that black people would be forced to wait in excruciatingly long lines.

 
 

Also, for what it’s worth, I think it is a real shame Prop 8 passed in California.

Yeah. Damn conservative bigots, using lies and deciet to pass something designed solely to limit rights. I don’t know how anyone with any sort of soul or real human feeling could support a party and an ideology that’s so wrapped up with hatred and loathing.

 
 

Listen, dipstick, everyone in California who could vote got a chance to vote on Prop 8, you stupid twit. Therefore, though Obama stomped you bigotted wastes of flesh into the ground, more than just liberals voted for Prop 8, which lest we forget was advocated, supported and heavily pushed by conservatives. If you honestly think liberal-leaning people would vote for such bigotry, you’re a bigger damn fool than you’ve shown previously. And that’s pretty friggin’ stupid. ‘Course, if you want to blame someone, blame conservative groups that lied about the law Prop 8 would overturn, ’cause boy, they lied plenty. Lots of hate, too,but that’s what you dinosaurs are good for.

And don’t give me that “strict conservative” bullshit. You guys are either so meager in the conservative movement it’s not even funny or you too chickenshit to go against the heavy social conservatives. So which are you, jerkoff, powerless or cowardly? Given you’re bootlicking of Bush’s absolute nothing substantial done concerning terrorism – and your own bigotted ways – I figure it’s probably the latter.

Tell me, was it hard knowing that all the lies and hatred and foulness dirtbags like you spread being totally and unequivocably rejected by the American people? How much pain did you feel watching the rest of the country leave you behind? Pathetic little man.

 
 

OK, found “Forsooth’s” posting over at PammyCakes (now with sprinkles!!!!)

PEOPLE, I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS A LONG TIME AND I HAVE LOST TRACK OF THE NUMBER OF ELECTIONS THAT I CALLED SUCCESSFULLY BUT WHICH WERE NOT DECIDED UNTIL THE WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING. THAT IS WHEN THE RURAL AREAS (IN THIS CASE, THE PUMA’S) FINALLY GET COUNTED. I HAVE SEEN NOTHING TO THIS MOMENT THAT CHANGES MY MIND. PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE EXIT POLLS AS THEY HAVE THE SAME FLAWS AS REGULAR POLLS. THE ONLY THING THAT COUNTS NOW IS THE ACTUAL VOTE TALLIES IN THE BATTLEGROUND STATES.

Takes time counting the massive numbers of rural votes. Not like those communist absentee ballots, which just by typing the previous sentence, has turned me into a card-carrying member of the Ayers-Party.

And I have a message for Harry Reid: Political Unity My Ass.

ps while some wingnuts have never been able to push the Caps Lock after they first found it, others seem to have never been able to find the shift keys…

just saying.

 
 

I especially love this asshat:

‘Cos an award from Obama is like being congratulated by the devil. This has been a time-honoured method of protest in Britain for decades. Remember the stir The Beatles caused when they refused their medals from The Queen? Not that I’m necessarily condoning The Beatles, but you see how effective a protest it can be? Let’s see some schoolchildren from some school where public prayer is no longer allowed, turning down an invite to milk and cookies in the Oval Office.

Bring down the devil Obama by refusing his milk and cookies!!!1!!11!!!

Nice to see that the Beatles are still held in contempt by these neanderthals. Them and their hip-swaying music, making all these gay men suck my cock. Because I’M NOT GAY

 
 

All this “he keeps us safe” business sounds like a Nanny State to me, and I was under the impression that was a Bad Thing… possibly on account of the business of spanking with hairbrushes, not to mention the enemas.

 
 

Actor212, histrionics aside, I think that approach is likely to be tested to by our enemies. I’m very concerned about that.

Right. Cause getting in their faces worked SOOOOOOOOOO well…*snort*

Face facts, Troofie…your side blew it, domestically AND internationally. You’ve not stemmed the tide of terrorist attacks, which only ratcheted up since 2002, right up to this year, and that’s even factoring out Iraq!

You. Failed! Now let the smart people take over, MmmmmmmmmmmmmmmK, Sheila?
