There’s a pretty good test available, as we speak. If they insist that tax cuts for the wealthy are an excellent idea and in the next breath piss and moan about the spendy Democrats, they are lying sacks. ---

More sales, less effort, profit. The mouthbreathers eat that terror shit, strap an anchor baby on it and call it a day. Terrorism + anchor babies = new product ! Terror babies, seen on TV, new recipe, more crunchy ! Now, let’s see… prediction time for next trimester’s hot button issue : Mexican terrorist welfare queens voting for socialist abortions paid for by taxes on the upper 10% ! ---

> [@Kobal2](#): > > Now, let’s see… prediction time for next trimester’s hot button issue : Mexican terrorist welfare queens voting for socialist abortions paid for by taxes on the upper 10% ! You forgot to throw teh gay in there as well. I was actually thinking about that today. How some GOPtard managed to put a bunch of GOPer “ideas” in a blender. It’s like he was working a magic (shitty) eight ball… GOPtard: Terrorism is fading from the public consciousness and it turns out that nearly enough people outside a small area fear a TexMex invasion. What should we do? Then out come rolling two laser-engraved wooden balls: IMMIGRATION TERRORISM Terrorist immigrants! Brilliant! But shit, they ain’t done nothing yet! Now what? Tell me! (shake shake) FUTURE UNCERTAIN That’s it! Terrorist immigrants…eventually! It’s down the road! It could be any time! Or never! The Rapture will probably hit before then! Gawd bless Tax Cuttin’ Jesus! -Joe ---

Ooh, there’s an interesting dilemna for the right. What if their choice was paying for abortions of illegal immigrant pregnant women. or allowing them to give birth to terrorist anchor babies? ---
