Hate to say it - but I am now voting for McCain
And it is largely due to his pick of Palin. She truly is a reformer and will bring about the change that this Country needs.


Think about it, we can save billions by not funding public schools! We can just drop the kids off next to what used to be education centers and they will become scholars.

We can solve the health care crisis by dropping patients off near hospitals and Dr.'s offices, the patient will gain the knowledge and be able to cure themselves.

Immigration and National Defense, she solved it, we will just take some of those afore-mentioned students, place them along our borders and borders of problem nations - problem solved.

Financial crisis and unemployment, solved! An army of people will be placed near financial institutions and they will know how to fix everything.

Hunger, now you are getting it, the hungry will be placed next to fast food restaurants!

Come on people it is all so easy, get on board!

7. I'll tell you what I am NOT smoking
and that is the fucking nasty shit that other people on this board are inhaling.

"Obama's ads suck"
"Obama has got to hit back"
"Paul Hackett says Obama sucks"

Spineless fucking wimps, they ignore the obvious, that the repub candidates fucking suck and need to be mocked, those supporting them need to be mocked! Instead they tear down the Obama/Biden ticket, so how do you think these fucking wimps act when talking in public?

And yes I am calling them out.

11. I remember you in that group interview--that answer you gave about
building a wall spanning the Canadian border didn't go over too well. I thought it was a grand idea.

They didn't call me back either... :shrug:

4. Better edit your OP to use the sarcasm 'smilie' unless you want a pizza delivery
Edited on Fri Sep-12-08 02:24 PM by Jersey Devil
Unless you label it clearly sarcasm doesn't play well on bulletin board sites.

10. If someone is too stupid to realize the sarcasm then they are likely a repub.
Also I am irate at the postings this morning. Discussion is fine, but there are some that are still into doom and gloom then they whine why democrats lose.

9. I actually encourage freepers to home-school their kids
(I feel sorry for the kids, but ...)

I could get rich on them ... keep asking them to make change ... ask them if they could give me two tens for a five ... repeat until rich ...

21. thanks
I came in on what should be a glorious day at DU and see a slew of negative posts! The people who use the 'snatch defeat from the jaws of victory' line need a good smack to the head! They are not seeing how they are adding to the problem!

I had a rightie approach me this morning regarding how well his ticket is performing since Sarah the Savior joined and I laughed and used stated that it must be nice to be an expert on Russia by living 4500 nautical miles from Moscow! He had a sheepish smile and changed the subject. After he left another lady, republican, asked about Obama's abortion stance, stating that was the only thing stopping her from voting for him. With her I could have and intelligent conversation and provide her facts!

18. This is pretty stark sarcasm
and if we need a tag to get it, somethings wrong. What it does is speak to the despair and hopelessness of having the other side 'get it'. They just don't 'get it'. It is enough to make a monk cynical. I tend to operate in the dark world of cynicism and despair. It is a dark world. I get it though. Right now I can't remember the wise words explaining why being a cynic is sick and wrong. It is unhealthy. I just can't remember why right now. Someone google it for me and cut and paste the answer below. (Bet your can't tell if I mean it or not) I'll be back later. I swear.
