Are you telling me Obama doesn't like leggy blondes? If you're trying to sway me to his side you're doing a piss poor job of it.

Or this gem



How does having over 125 Lobbyists running your campaign and a known weakness for leggy blonde lobbyists = McCain fighting special interests?
It really doesn't matter because Palin is hot and can gut a moose and McCain was a PoW.

LOL they're gonna keep barking up that tree. McCain pretty much admitted to doinking that chick and challenged to media to do shit about it. DNC and GOP strategists have known for years that sex scandals only work on the democrats for some reason. Noone's quite sure why. Even that Larry Craig's airport bathroom shenanigans barely harmed him and he tried to "undo" his resignation after he found out that his approval ratings hadn't budged.

Someone already posted this?

Barack Obama | Blogging for President Obama: Legislative Experience: Senator Barack Obama (D-IL)

Quote:
hat exactly has Senator Obama accomplished in the IL State Senate and during his tenure thus far in the US Senate? Detractors try to tell you us he's only good for a speech.

Fighting back the knee-jerk response of calling them outright liars, I decided to visit the Library of Congress website at THOMAS (Library of Congress) and search for all Bills and Amendments sponsored, co-sponsored or supported by Senator Obama.

In addition to Bills sponsored, I also discoverd that there are several pieces of legislation, voted into law, that was sponsored by Senator Obama. Note too, I have grouped the Bills found on the Library of Congress website by category for easier perusal. There are over 100 Bills and Amendments sponsored by Senator Obama this past year alone; since his arrival in the US Senate, 4 Bills he sponsored or co-sponsored have been signed into law. No "empty suit" here. Read on.
Since Palin said he has never sponsored a bill and there were people here taking her word at face value..

I see now. You're one of those people that looks for reasons to be offended. It must be frustrating to go through life like that.

Sure. 10 billion dollars. When you want to collect your winnings just ask for Ben. I'll be the large black man selling rice.

When watching Ron Paul you get all excited and teary eyed and say to your self..."Fuck yeah, this man makes sense!" That is untill you hear conspiracy theories like New World Order and 911 was inside job and you realize hes a fucking nutcase.

It's not a sex scandal argument. I don't really give 2 shits that he fucked her. What I do care about is him saying flat out, repeatedly, along with his VP that they're going to "change" things and "fight" lobbyists when the truth tells the exact opposite. It's not about him fucking some blonde, it's about him lying. More of the same.

My guess: Because they steadfastly invoke religion, god, the fallibility of man and all that horse-hockey. Christ and all that dying for sins and shit. "Won't you too be christ-like and forgive (<= and this plea is crucial) mine dick in yon arse, o' ye plebes?" EDITED TO ADD: I suppose its because most liberals don't give a shit who sticks their dick in what, and neocons are loathe to be "unchrist-like," particularly against their own.

What's your guess?

I didn't claim you made a factual discrepancy. Try and follow. What I did do is depict your modus operandi using your own words: Half-truths and admirable spin. To be fair, it was a rather stupid thing to post; your antics aren't exactly unknown. My post was pretty fucking redundant. Oh well.

Sure, but Aunt Jemima and I are double dating tonight with Colonel Sanders and the chick from the Morton's salt ads. He claims she's 18 but I think he's a chicken eating pedo. Has some funny fucking stories when he gets a couple of beers in him though.

Tomorrow work for you?

Now the only time I have ever seen an open book exam in college was when the class was either a push over and a 9th grader could have taken the exam or the exam is about to make you feel pain in ways you didn't know were possible.

edit I just saw this line to..
"Your answer must be no more than 15 pages; I will stop reading after 15 pages"

When you take an exam and read that line you know whats coming.
Open book tests are fairly common in law school. Surely, you are not insinuating that those tests are "easy". Those are the type of tests that will have you sweating fucking bullets. I reviewed a few of them and they are legitimately very fucking challenging. Its pretty clear that Prof. Obama is a very very intelligent fella.

You lost me.
Ron Paul hasn't touched those ideas, except for maybe brushing the New World Order issue regarding income tax.

Most of the conspiracy theorists do tend to rally around Ron Paul, if that is what you mean. How'd you make the leap from the conspiracy theorists rallying around Ron Paul to Ron Paul being a fucking nutcase. He was/is really the only anti-big government candidate. Who else were they supposed to rally around?

Other than Ron Paul, the other choices are Big Government Socialist, or Big Government Fascist. Who are the conspiracy theorists gonna rally around, seriously? Do you expect them to be silent non-voters, especially in the age of the internet? Come on.

Somehow this story is going to end with a dead hooker in a motel along with a shopping bag full of Oreos and empty Pringles cans
