So, if I call you stoopid, that’s not baiting someone to come to your defense? And gives you no reason to respond? Reread the OP, then make sure you want to jump on _me_ for posting here.

Tolerence. Did Wikipedia suddenly change the definition?

Bill H. wasn’t defending anyone. He was doing his happy dance. Fine, there’s a thread just for that. But by doing it in here, he proved that his desire to gloat overcame his desire for reconciliation. Doesn’t that seem hypocritical?

You didn’t originate a thread asking for inclusiveness. You have done your happy dance all over any election thread. I expect less from you than from Bill H., because I haven’t been led to believe that there might actually be more to you than the gloating.

Might as well. Words like “candor” and “truth” have sure as hell taken a beating.

Wait a minute. Bush is Satan? I thought he sold his soul to Satan.

That’s it! Bush is Satan, and he keeps selling his soul to himself! That’s why he got elected, that’s why he hasn’t (really) been busted on the whole missing WMD thing! That’s why 11 states voted down gay marriage!

Bush is Satan, and keeps selling his soul to himself. You heard it here first, folks.

Come up with a stock price. Do you realize how much money you could make here? :eek:

I don’t know. What’s a soul worth these days? $1.00? $2.00? And wouldn’t Bush’s soul be worth less, since he’s such an evil, evil man?

No. See the level of pure evil of his soul bumps him to 14, mabybe 14.5. But the price doesn’t really matter. Since so many here beleive that he is Satan, and he’s selling the stock to himself, you set up as the broker and collect the fees.

Doesn’t really matter that since Bush is selling his soul to himself nobody can therefore get in on the action, the level of intelligence beleiving such will be easy to dupe. It’s a million dollar idea, and I hope you remember me in your will. 🙂

I’m sure somewhere some busy little bee has come up with a D&D-type “alignment chart” for the political candidates. I suppose Bush was Lawful Evil, Kerry Chaotic Evil, and Nader Neutral Evil?

No no no. Bush is CE because he’s pure eeeeeeevil. Kerry is LE because he’s only a little evil.

No, Lawful and Chaotic do not refer to the severity of the evil, only the actions and behaviours.

I figured the flip-flopping made Kerry chaotic, as well as his pro-hunting/ban all guns stance, limousine liberal status, and his, cough, “indecision” on gay rights such as, oh, marriage… I mean, if there’s one thing the conservatives on the SDMB taught me, it’s that Kerry is a crazy shell-shocked veteran hopped up on goofballs and peanut oil who exhibits passive-aggresive random co-culpritsm with delusions of grandeur. Thus, he must therefore be Chaotic Evil.

Bush on the other hand started planning the 9/11 atrocities back in Junior High school or something - at least, that’s pretty much what the liberals of the SDMB have taught me about him. They go on to assert with straight face that Bush will be responsible for an upcoming Holocaust of the Heartlands, wherein blacks, gays, jews, rosicrucians, and mulatto touch-typists will be herded into internment camps to make Rolex watches. That sort of long-term planning requires more than just Microsoft Project - it requires a true diaboloical mentality. Thus, Lawful Evil.

Nader…oh, please. Too easy. With him, it’s all about The Nader, thus he’s a “Neutral”. I mean, who else but a self-obsessed narcissist with an recursive Napoleon complex and God guilt would try to enter an election like this, in an America so polarized that it takes 57 GD threads before a consensus can be reached on whether or not 1 \< 2?
