That’s why I asked for examples. And what \*\*Revtim \*\*said. How does unintelligible rambing nonsense make one a troll? Idiocy can certainly be argued, but trolling isn’t the conclusion I would reach by reading the quoted post. Again, if someone would like to provide cites for trolling, I’m open to making another decision. ---

> [@PhiloVance](#): > > If you look around at the polls, both Gallup and Rassmussen, things are moving toward McCain. At this point it is no longer convention bounce. Sarah Palin has changed the dynamics of this election, like it or not. As someone else said, the numbers have slid back toward Obama again. In every election I’ve watched (since 1984), the same pattern has played out: big jump in the polls for the Democrats during the week after their convention, followed by a similar jump for the Republicans during the week following theirs. Personally, I think we should be looking for these people who switch back and forth based on pep rallies and start using them as an alternative fuel source. ---

Sorry to be a broken record guys, but what’s the fuss? Democrats and republicans are both funded by the same major sources, making this basically a puppet show. Anyone need cites? Here’s an example, in regards to the 2008 Presidential elections: [QUOTE=Corporations and Health Watch] the food and beverage industry has already contributed more than $2m to Democrats and more than $3m to Republicans… [including] 1. The National Restaurant Association ($426,500) 2. Osi Restaurant Partners ($340,500) 3. McDonald’s Corp ($134,420) 4. Coca-Cola Co ($97,750) 5. Ilitch Holdings ($96,100) 6. Starbucks Coffee ($84,979) 7. Wendy’s ($82,850) 8. Mjkl Enterprises ($65,100) 9. Brinker International ($63,650) 10. Coca-Cola Enterprises ($60,250) [/QUOTE] gleaned from the site [corporationsandhealth.org](http://corporationsandhealth.org) from a piece written by Alexandra Lewin, a doctoral student doing her dissertation on federal obesity policy. Need more? [This site](http://www.opensecrets.org/industries/index.php) has charts showing political contributions from different industries, how much, and proportion of contribution to each party. The proportions may differ slightly, but guess what? _Industries_ are funding our elections, and therefore influencing the issues of focus as well as outcomes. Corporations, and not the people, are running the show. In the past, I’ve posted the assertion that both major parties are bought and paid for by the same interests, and was met with “Cite?” so there it is. Since most of us watch TV, we’re inured to the corporate ownership and corporatization of almost every aspect of our lives because if you see it enough, it seems “normal”. Well, it’s not normal, and not exactly healthy to say the least. Every time I see a partisan argument, it makes me cringe. We are divided and conquered by those who would reap our earnings as well as our labor. ☹ ---

But out of her hooha comes such gems as this: [QUOTE=pinkyvee] Harpo was not glib, like Groucho. [/QUOTE] That’s quite a vajayjay she’s got there. I haven’t laughed like that for days. Yes, indeed, that Harpo sure wasn’t glib… considering he never spoke in the films! It’s the best entertainment around, GD. Who knew? ---

Somewhere else she describes Harpo as a "well known misogynist " because his character always chased women around. I’m hoping she _meant_ the characters, but it’s unclear, and an insult to the real Harpo. ---

Ya’ll realize she hasn’t found the Pit section yet? BTW…is it really true there is a McCain and/or Republican board that lists “liberal” sites to go to and join to just annoy people or pretend you are “one of them” and respond? Seriously, someone told me that and I am not sure if it is just another Urban Legend, but supposedly they get “McCain points” (whatever that is worth) if they go out and spread the word. Has to be an UL, right? If that should be true, give me a few Republican sites where I can go and stir up their pot. Would be happy to get me some “Obama points” (get 20 and get a free bumper sticker!?). Plus, it could be fun to debate people who type really, really slowly on their McCain Blackberries. ---

Oh man, I can hardly breathe. ::SNORT:: This bit tickled me. > [@](#): > > So, when Barack Obama says he will put some lipstick on my pig, I am, like, Are you calling me a pig? If so, thanks! Pigs are the most non-Élite of all barnyard animals. And also, if you put lipstick on my pig, do you know what the difference will be between that pig and a pit bull? I’ll tell you: a pit bull can easily kill a pig. And, as the pig dies, guess what the Hockey Mom is doing? Going to her car, putting on more lipstick, so that, upon returning, finding that pig dead, she once again looks identical to that pit bull, which, staying on mission, the two of them step over the dead pig, looking exactly like twins, except the pit bull is scratching his lower ass with one frantic leg, whereas the Hockey Mom is carrying an extra hockey stick in case Todd breaks his again. But both are going, like, Ha ha, where’s that dumb pig now? Dead, that’s who, and also: not a smidge of lipstick. > > A lose-lose for the pig. > > There’s a lesson in that, I think. Yes, STFU! ---
