    Aw, it's so cute when you pretend like there was ever a chance you were going to do otherwise.

    He helps them look for things. Things they need. Things to make them go.

    Can't help but wonder why someone who seems to hate this board so much keeps posting here... :garamet:

    Says the guy who explained his main reason for voting for Obama was because he didn't like the Republican candidate. :jayzus: You're better than this kind of shit, John.

    You trying to compete with Maude for the position of 'King of the annoying repetitive response' now that Sokar has been chased off?

    :lol: It's nice how no one remembers these things that happened maybe a month ago, but whatever, the fact that you're voting for Obama alone makes it pretty ironic for you to make the response you did above. And then there's this post, where you gloss over the civil liberties issues Obama has and focus instead on my statement about how he failed to live up to any of his campaign promises, many of which happened to be about civil liberties issues.

    I haven't posted much in the past few weeks. Where is the post in question? What did I say? You seem to have a clear memory of it, and since it was about a month ago, you should be able to find it quickly using the search system. I'm not being snarky, I really want to know.

    Keyword searches, from 3 months to now, searching in the Red Room:

    "Romney"
    http://www.wordforge.net/search.php?searchid=3350622

    "Republican"
    http://www.wordforge.net/search.php?searchid=3350625

    "Obama"
    http://www.wordforge.net/search.php?searchid=3350628&pp=25

    "Vote"
    http://www.wordforge.net/search.php?searchid=3350631


    That should be a good start.

    If you're hot enough you might be able to over come your accent handicap or failing that you could deliberately make your accent worse so that it sounds like a Hollywood parody. Yeah, this sounds dumb but it actually works in this state. ;)

    We need to start cataloging this shit:
    • I hate half the country
    • I wish I were a brown skinned Mexican
    • Let's just let the next guy worry about the ME
    • Dad was a welfare baby

    Anything else?

    :zzz:

    More sensationalism that ultimately changes nothing. Obama was even more brazen about what he thought about those he looked down upon and look where he is now.

    Not that Mittens ever had a chance to begin with. This guy is the GOP's John Kerry.

    Four more years. :marathon:

    It really is all about the sensationalism. There was a kernel of truth in Obama's "Clinging to God and Guns" statement, and a kernel of truth in Romney's "47%" statement. There really are people out there who make their faith and their sidearm every single important aspect of their lives, and that includes their vote. There are also people out there who hope the government will hand them everything they want in life, and that influences their vote. However, it's the size and scope that were incorrect in both.

    Of course, the media wins either way, because all they have to do is play off a nice little soundbite, and they can step back and let social media fill in the rest. It's lazy, is what it is.

    Put it this way: Watch for every time a speech is made by either the President or Mitt Romney. Know that something offensive was said (whether intended or not). Wait 10 minutes. Check Facebook. Ta da. Image macros everywhere.

    That's another one that astonishes me. Mittens came right out and said his solution to the crisis in the Middle East is to do nothing, hope it gets better and leave it for the next guy.

    You big silly! He's not running for Aeronautical Engineer of the United States, just President. He's got People to explain why you can't open the windows on a plane, and he'll have People to tell him "Not the WED one! Don't EVER push the WED one!"
