4. Oh these idiots come in all types |
|
However, the rich ones are in it for the GOP evangelical religious networking, which pays very well. Look at that psycho sociopath, Pat Robertson, and that other one, James Dobson. Both mega-millionaires!

7. Yes, Meg is a megamillionaire too. She made her fortune as an executive at EBAY. |

I didn't appreciate she was such a nut job before.

8. That's why Europeans see Americans as nutjobs - there are a lot of these whackos |
|
Religion in America is a sickness. Truly it is.

14. It seems to me it is the fundamentalists in various religions who are the extremists and |
|
who conduct themselves as terrorists. In this country our fundamentalists are terrorists who deny social justice to others such as gays, and women.

15. You're absolutely right. They're such pigs. Then when you dig.... |
|
you end up finding out that these fundamentalist Repukes are a bunch of sexual perverts (remember Diaper Man? and that pedophile in the House?), thieves and amoral trash.

36. Ebay was in the right place at the right time |

There was nothing overly brilliant about it and it was done by her husband not her. Pretending she is smart because of Ebays success is ridiculous.

18. It's a free country (again finally) so she can knock herself out |
|
but people were burned pretty bad by Der Titzengroper so I don't think the "outsider coming to clean up the mess in Sackatomato" routine is gonna play too well with the electorate.

33. As a California native |
|
in exile, I urge you to drop the assumptions. Arnie was supposed to get 'smoked' last time too. And all my CA straight pals poo pooed the idea that Prop 8 would pass "CA is liberal and the bluest of blue, we'd NEVER pass a thing like that." Let me be very clear. The apathy and lack of energy on the part of California Democrats must be overcome. California is at a cross roads. "We'll fix it in post" is not a political strategy.

reason enough for her to go away. All these years, have had to shove Ahnold into the back 40 recesses of my mind, and it will be wonderful when he's gone, too. Every time I think of the recall of Gray Davis.....:mad:

26. doesn't she run some kind of online garage sale? |
|
she was at least smart enough to run away from the sinking ship that was John McCain's campaign. She'd rather take the long view and go California governor and THEN shot at the White House.
P.S. your link is funny. When I saw it rather briskly I thought it said "penis review". lol.

32. They never have "faith" in the other brazilian things in Leviticus, however. |
|
I'm sure she doesn't rely on Leviticus for her standards of dealing with the consuming of pork or shrimp. Or regarding how she interacts with women who are menstruating. Or how she interacts with anyone who has any kind of infection. Or how she deals with disrespectful children or adulterous adults.
All those rules in Leviticus, the 3000 year old health rules for desert nomads, but she only worries about ONE of them.
That's not FAITH, that's cherry picking to fit one's modern biases.

I mean...what other excuse is there? There's no constitutional, political or common sense reason to deny a whole group of citizens their rights.

39. If Meg cares about California so much why doesn't she take a tiny portion of her wealth |
|
and put the state back in the black?
C'mon Meg, make good on the IOUs your state is sending out to its hard-working citizens, people far less able to get by than you. You profess to love your state, right? California has been good (very, very good) to you, hasn't it? You don't have to work another day in your life (not that you had to do anything but show up and collect your stock options, but that's for another story....). Point is, you have enough money for 10 lifetimes and your state is in dire need.
Well...?
