> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > How in the fuck did Mainers elect him TWICE? What was the alternative? A leperous child-molesting flesh-eating zombie with bad table manners? Is the state really that fucking crazy???😕 Both elections had Democratic spoiler candidates, likely paid to do so by the Republicans. The Democratic vote got split and the Republican took it with a relatively small plurality. ---

These people are truly children in adult clothing. ---

FB Post - “Share and help this go viral!” by a buddy skating on thin ice. All about how Obama has abandoned the military and we need to fight the UN armies of occupation that he’s going to bring in. Seriously, stop this nonsense. As I replied “Oh please. Nothing like this is or ever will happen.” **This will not happen**. Obama isn’t going to do this, all your lies and smears and fear mongering aside. Bunch of fucking retards you people have out there spreading and believing this nonsense. Same with your old trusty canards; “Obama is going to force us to become Muslims!” Really? HOW? Is he going to hold a press conference one day and just declare that all American are now Muslims and must convert by Executive Order? And we all just go “Oh, ok”??? Are you doing too much meth? Because that’s not even remotely going to happen in any version of reality. Seriously, Bizarro Superman would look at you for suggesting and/or believing this and likely kill you because your stupid scares even him. ---

The interesting part of Obama’s evil plan is how he’s waited over 7 years to start any of it. It’s going to be a busy year for the man, what with taking all our guns, death panels, converting the nation to Islam, handing over our military to the UN, massive tax increases to pay for Obamacare, etc. How’s the man going to find time to finish it all? ---
