Christie's ignorance is exceeded only by his arrogance. There goes his presidential aspirations. Poof ....

... that lard ass.

EDIT: That said, how can Weiner not be certain whether or not the photo is one of his thang? That was a stupid answer. He just should have denied, denied, denied.

Oh well.

... however, I am compelled to add the following significant caveat:

The rethuglicans are THE "family values/evangelical social conservatives" and not the democrats. Remember? The democrats are the liberal, let it all hang out, druggie/hippie do your thang communists. That ain't our bag, man. It's all about "free love" with us progressive hippie drug smoking dems.

So blow me you F-ing skanky, smelly, hypocritical, incestuous, sodomizing, fascist rethuglican pigs. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) bwhahaha

Oooooooh yeah.

To be fair, the Dems aren't the "values" party. I personally don't vote for someone because they have a wife and kids and pray before every major decision. I vote for them because I believe their policy is in line with how I believe a country should be run.

So, I really don't care if the guy keeps a harem of 19 yr olds in his basement that service him daily. As long as his policy choices are ones that I agree with, he can tweet what he wants on his time.

Keep in mind, I try to be moral in my own dealings in life. I just don't need my politicians to do the same.

I was just having fun after a couple of stolies.

Yeah, Weiner is a weenie. I still can't believe that he couldn't say for sure that it wasn't his junk. LOL. So, the next question is: you mean you have photos of your thang on your computer? And why is that? Smh.

Again, I could care less what this guy does in his private time ... on the computer; ... with other couples; ... with other men; ... with himself; .... you get the point.

I mean, your the big proponent of small government, right? So, I would imagine you could give two shyts about this.

Hmmmm

SOME OF YOU WILL APPRECIATE THIS AND SOME OF YOU WILL NOT.

I DO NOT APOLOGIZE FOR SENDING THIS BECAUSE ALL OF IT IS TRUE.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If any other of our presidents had doubled the National Debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would You have Approved?

If any other of our presidents had then proposed to Double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had criticized a State Law that he admitted he never even read, would you think that he is just an ignorant hot Head?

If any other of our presidents joined the country of Mexico and sued a State in the United States to force that State to continue to allow Illegal Immigration, would you question his patriotism and wonder who's side he was on?

If any other of our presidents had pronounced the Marine Corps as if it were the Marine Corpse, would you think him an Idiot?

If any other of our presidents had put 87,000 workers out of work by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling on companies that have one of the best safety records of any industry because one foreign company had an accident, would you have agreed?

If any other of our presidents had used a forged document as the basis of the moratorium that would render 87000 American workers unemployed, would you support him?

If any other of our presidents had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If any other of our presidents had spent hundreds of thousands of Dollars to take his First Lady to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had reduced your retirement plan holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had given the Queen of England an IPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought it to be a proud moment for America ?

If any other of our presidents had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia , would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had visited Austria and made reference to the nonexistent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

If any other of our presidents had filled his Cabinet and circle of Advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current on their Income Taxes, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had stated that there were 57 states in the United States , wouldn't you have had second thoughts about his capabilities?

If any other of our presidents would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking out his front door in his home town, would you not have thought he was a self-important, conceited, egotistical jerk?

If any other of our presidents had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was "The 5th of May" (Cinco de Mayo), and then continue to flub it when he tried again, wouldn't you have winced in embarrassment?

If any other of our presidents had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a Hypocrite?

If any other of our presidents' Administrations had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?

If any other of our presidents had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest, with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing Political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If any other of our presidents had created the positions of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America , would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive?

Can't think of anything? Then you'd better start worrying. He's done all these things in 28 months -- and you have less than 19 months to come up with an answer.

Every statement and action in this email is factual and correctly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama. Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable.
Trust but verify.

It is now official. Sarah Palin in THE dumbest person on the face of the earth.

it deserves it's own thread just as much as we need more "thiz iz mi trad idea too getz kris paul" threads.

we know she's an idiot, i loved watching this video. it was on Free Beer and Hot wings the other day. she really is dumb. she's the reason i didn't vote for mccain or anyone in this past election. she scares me, and i was afraid mccain had a chance of being incapacitated, therefore leaving palin in charge.

but politics aside wingo/mugzi, this video is funny.

Yeah, it was really funny.

It just amazes me that this woman has as many fans/followers as she does. Other than being hot, what does she contribute to society? What ideas does she have to make the world a better place?

The republicans ridicule Mitt Romney and yet he signed into law universal healthcare in Massachusetts, which, for reasons beyond me, he's been running from. He should embrace that accomplishment. If he did, he'd actually have a chance in '12.

Mitt has also publicly announced that global climate change is man made. I guess the jig is up.

Mitt Romney On Climate Change: 'The World Is Getting Warmer... Humans Have Contributed'

First Posted: 06/ 3/11 06:31 PM ET Updated: 06/ 4/11 01:11 AM ET


MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (Reuters) -- Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney broke with Republican orthodoxy on Friday by saying he believes that humans are responsible, at least to some extent, for climate change.

"I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that," he told a crowd of about 200 at a town hall meeting in Manchester, New Hampshire.

"It's important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may be significant contributors."

Ok, I wonder where Bill Mahr's snarky panell was when Obama said he's been to 58 states. She's not the best person to get the message out, but i'll take her over any Dem. :lol:


Those words by Romney are shocking and disturbing. :evil:

You're comparing THAT to someone saying 57 when they clearly meant 47? Do you believe that Obama actually thought there were 60 states when he said that?

I don't care about political parties or ideologies. I want the best person in the job possible.

You really think Palin would be a good president?
