I’m a fiscal conservative, but I’m to the left of BHO on gay marriage. Hope that doesn’t ruin your sleep. Which has fuck-all to do with my point: That the _very same_ people trumpeting the glory of Bristol’s “choice” to give birth are bound and determined to outlaw abortion, thus taking that _choice_ away from _everyone._ I don’t give a flying leap what your opinion is on fiscal responsibility or gay marriage; it’s irrelevant to the matter at hand. ---

You’re the one more likely to get his membership revoked by the party that insists on making its umbrella tinier and tinier. ---

> [@Carol\_Stream](#): > > And you’re ugly and your momma dresses you funny. Now, how is Hussein “race-baiting”? Aside from references to the President (or his late father), “Hussein” is gnerally regarded as an Arab name, though certainly any Moslem of any ethnic extraction might bear it. And it’s offensive to refer to the President by his middle name alone unless he’s specifically indicated he preferred it, as Thomas Woodrow Wilson did. But as Barack H. Obama II and his predecesssor Walker (Texas Ranger, nyuk nyuk) did not. ---

That some people have to cling on to this ridiculous issue just shows how little they have on their side. The best they can say about Sarah Palin is that she is Letterman’s victim. Poor woman. ---

@ **Carol Stream** Relax, it’s not worth it. If you ever get him/her to admit you’re not a racist, s/he’ll just say “OK, you’re not a racist. But you’re a slut.” ---

But you’re a slut.” Oh I don’t know if Carol Stream is a racist. I do know s/he is plenty fucking stupid. I also know that going off about \*Hussein \*Obama is an attempt to inflame the racial prejudices of the Republican Base. Think you can wrap your teeny Republitard brain around that? 😃 So to sum up: Bristol: Hypocrite Slut Mama Palin: Manipulative Bitch Letterman: Moderately Funny Carol Stream: Stupid. Plan B: Stupid, but uses the @ symbol in a trendy way, so bonus points. 😃 ---
