It proves the that the R's are stupid, stupid people, also capable of vast, secret conspiracies that span years NAY DECADES! (Must be pronounced like JFK for full comedic effect)

Just to what are you in reference?
Are you saying the picture is from 2010?
And, if so, how do you know?

I admit it would have been better to just provide some closeups of idiots protesting in Washington the other day. However, the tattooed gun nut above really does portray the right wingers' long out-dated view of guns.
Last time I'll use the Examiner for photos, that's for sure. Google is not always your friend.

The ends justify the means. Huh? Lies are a ok?
Well the unabashed lies sorta explans the lack of support gun control advocates face on election day
Ever stop and think that if you must lie, there may be a flaw in your position?
