“The man who once asked me about my wedding date returned my gaze with a stare, shook the hand of the strangers to the right and left of me and continued out the door.”

Rush Limbaugh is a pathetic person. Here he his complaining about the moderates in the Republican party going over to Obama. He says good riddance. I say good luck. For all you fools who thought Republicans were decent people, Rush Limbaugh is the embodiment of the current Republican, narrow-minded and prejudiced. It is not enough to think different, but you must think like Rush. I can’t wait for Tuesday to see his head asplode.

“I am absolutely certain that Connecticut’s going to have the good sense to send Joe Lieberman back to the United States Senate.”
Sen. Obama (D-Ill.) circa election 2006

I hope when the Democrats get the majority in the Senate that they kick Joe Lieberman out of the caucus. Ever since he cried about not winning the dem nomination for Senate in 2006, he’s been nothing but a pain in the ass for the dems. It gives the Republicans an excuse to point to a former dem and dem vp candidate, and say that they should be more like that wanker. When the dems win, I hope no one has to listen to Lieberman anymore.
If I recall, Obama supported Lieberman in his “independent” bid for the Senate. How does that look now?

“I made a mistake in presuming that the self-interests of organizations, specifically banks and others, were such as that they were best capable of protecting their own shareholders and their equity in the firms.”
Alan Greenspan, Former Chief of the Federal Reserve

They concluded the presidential debates Wednesday, but not all candidates were invited. In fact, only the Democratic and Republican nominees were allowed. (Or at least that was my impression as I didn’t watch any of the debates.) There are others running for the Presidency, Bob Barr, for one.
I have no clue about this dude. From reading his Wikipedia entry, the item that stands out most is that he was one of the congressional leaders in the impeachment of Bill Clinton. I say, “Get a fucking life, you cocksucking twat.” Barr is running under the Libertarian Party flag. I would think that libertarians would value personal freedom in the form of receiving a BJ once in awhile. He must’ve only come to this conclusion recently. How can you be the Presidential nominee of the party Party and be against BJs?

They concluded the presidential debates last night, but not all candidates were invited. In fact, only the Democratic and Republican nominees were allowed. (Or at least that was my impression as I didn’t watch any of the debates.) There are others running for the Presidency, Ralph Nader, for one.
He has run in the last couple of presidential elections. In the 2000 elections, some of the more liberal voters cast their votes for Nader rather than Gore. They believed that Al Gore wasn’t liberal enough coming from a centrist, Democratic administration, and that he would kowtow to the whims of whomever is pulling the strings in the country. I can’t believe it. I want to say, “Thanks, you cocksucking twats.” You’re the reason for the eight years of ineffectiveness and stupidity that has become of the United States. If I wasn’t angrier at the dumb Republican voters, you’d surely get plenty of my wrath.
But Nader is still running this year. Let’s hope no one votes for him.

Q: What is the role of the US in Iraq and Afghanistan?
A: Afghanistan will lead to further security of our economy. It is, somebody was saying this morning, a toxic waste there on Wall Street. Well, it was unfortunate. That manifestation that we saw with that invasion of Georgia shows us some steps backwards that Russia has recently taken away from the race toward a more coordinated and a much more stringent oversight regime government can play a very, very appropriate role in the oversight that has to exercise all options out there on Wall Street. That’s the reform that we’ve got to play an appropriate role in the stringent oversight, making sure that these weapons of mass destruction, that nuclear weapons are not given to those hands of Ahmadinejad, not that he would allow terrorists to be a multi-faceted solution that has shown his foresight, his pragmatism, and his leadership abilities.

Recently, at a dinner party at my mom’s for a friend of a friend, one of the guests asked me about the Republican VP nominee. Ugh. Really. It isn’t polite to bring up politics at the dinner table, but I was game. I said that I can’t understand a word she’s saying, and every time she’s on tv I cringe. It’s more likely that I find it outright embarrassing for her to be so incoherent in front of the whole nation. You could probably get a whole room of monkeys pounding away at typewriters, and they would produce a more coherent mishmash of nouns, verbs, and adjectives to form a competent thought.
How are we to take seriously this VP candidate when you know that the man who put her on the ticket is so insincere?
