HELEN:
Margaret, only in America can a white, Christian woman grow up to marry a white, Christian man and live in a lovely home and shop at a Piggly Wiggly. Maybe I should run for President. Of course I would need to go back to school and get a degree from Harvard or Yale first.
Now I thought the American public was smarter than this… Or maybe they are but the Republican base is just messing up the grading curve. Dress him however you want, but Romney is a rich son of a bitch. Period. He can talk all he wants about “Only in America…” but honest to God doesn’t anyone in the Republican Party see the irony in that? Only in America? He should say In America Only a wealthy guy in a business suit can get the Republican nomination. For Christ’s sake, the other guy is a black man raised by a single white woman. He’s a Christian mulatto who gets confused for a Kenyan Muslim. Now there’s your Only in America story. And evidently only in the Democratic Party as well.
I don’t have issues with a poor man becoming wealthy any more than I do with a wealthy man becoming President. But is that all you’ve got? Mitt’s father’s family was temporarily poor during the depression? Get in line. His Dad had a pet pony named Monty. Wow. Life was real a pile of shit for that guy. Who names their pony Monty?
Mitt Romney is George Bush all over again. Wealthy kid of a wealthy politician who has no earthly idea what it means to make the money stretch from one paycheck to another… Only in America my ass. Only in the Republican Party is more like it:
Only in the Republican Party can a college dropout, married four times with no children call women sluts for using birth control. Maybe the addiction to Oxycontin made Rush sterile?
Only in the Republican Party can a blonde with big feet claim the widows of the 9/11 attacks “enjoyed their husbands’ deaths” and then go on to be a NY Times best-selling author and conservative analyst for Fox News.
Only in the Republican Party can an idiot from Alaska run for Vice President on a platform of abstinence only while keeping an early pregnancy test strip in her purse for when the kids want an after school snack.
Only in the Republican Party can Newt Gingrich, divorced twice (cheated thrice?), give stump speeches about the sanctity of marriage.
Only in the Republican Party can John Boehner and Donald Trump get their skin that orange.
And only in the Republican Party can Mitt Romney claim to be an example of the American Dream. Of course, in this case the dream is that a pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, liberal governor from Massachusetts grew up to become the conservative nominee for the Republican Party.
Honey, I’m not scared of Romney. I’m scared of the idiots who vote for him. I mean it. Really.
MARGARET:
Only in America will they sell you a sour cream on Monday that has an expiration date on Tuesday. Now how am I going to use an entire pint of sour cream in less than a day? And how can you even tell when sour cream has gone bad? But you know what I say? When life gives you too much sour cream, make a sour cream coffee cake. Turn off the news and let’s put that in the cookbook, dear.

Love it! Every word.
To me, the American Dream is that our descendants will never have to experience the plights of our parents and grandparents. I think it worked too well and has reduced the intelligence and common sense of the average citizen.

Reading comprehension isn’t all that good for you is it? First. Look at my original post, I said it was borrowed. So what fraud did I do? Second. The proofs I provided were the words of the people on this blog, to match up to the definitions I list3ed of what actions you typically see from Leftists.
So to be clear….again…I took posts made by people on here….I then said see…look at the post…now look at my list of leftist traits. I said I could make hundreds and hundreds of such comparisons showing this is a hard core Leftist blog. I will try and keep it dumbed down as best I can for you in the future.
As for the end of your post…told ya so Pi. you make personal attacks, then plug your ears yelling la la la la. I cant hear you now!!!!!!! LMAO I love being right. Quick someone step in and defend him. lori? Donna? Delurk? LMAO. cant make this shit up.

I fail to understand why Pfesser wanted to stay on this page long enough to write his terrific (sarcasm!) post. This is what I don’t get about the trolls on these sites – ALL of them, including CNN, Fox, etc. – if you don’t like it, CLOSE THE BROWSER AND DON’T COME BACK. It’s really that simple. I don’t go to sites that I don’t like, and neither should you. Your post convinced no one of anything other than your idiocy, in spite of your claims to any type of intelligence. Move on to your Kool-Aid party, and leave the rest of us alone, please. PLEASE.

Pfesser – IMO M&H was never meant to be a serious political blog. It is mostly humor mixed with a little politics. The host does not participate and it is not moderated. The more knowledgeable people move on partly because of the lack of moderation and the intelligent level of some trolls.
I read Rutherford’s blog and consider it to be a more serious political blog and he does participate in the discussion and keeps some control. Most of the commenters are conservative leaning and the few liberal leaning are not treated all that well considering it is a liberal blog. It seems they are people with a lot of free time. However there is a liberal amount of d*ck flinging, IMO.
But at the day what have you accomplished by all the debating/arguing that go on. It is not like people with the power and authority to make change are listening. The voices/solutions need to be hear/made in Washington not on some blog.
Peace.

And Pfesser–I’d like to respond a bit more. I appreciate that you view the blog in the manner you describe. But I disagree. I think there have been many times that people with different viewpoints have come here and been welcomed (certainly I’ve been happy for the diversity). However, the relentless unpleasantness of a small group who claim to be conservative but who appear to be disinterested in anything but insulting others has not been welcome. When someone’s comments are nothing more than an insult, then I think they are accurately and understandably referred to as a troll.

Well, Pfesser, I’m not sure coming here and calling the group “NAGS” (emphasis in original) is really conducive to discussion.
And the photo i.d. meme has been whipped to death–people have stated their opinions to the proverbial fare thee well. Just because one person hasn’t been able to persuade others to his point of view doesn’t mean that others are interested in discussing it further. I speak only for myself.

Photo ID is not required for cigarettes or booze.

Peeking in occasionally, I see that we are back to the, “everybody who disagrees with me is a troll” stuff. LOL. How sophomoric.
For edification I would recommend the NAGS’ reading Rutherford’s current post on “Why do Liberals Censor?” A confirmed liberal himself, R has the rare gift of self-examination, which allows him to actually concede points well-made by ANY side of the argument – unlike here, which has become little more than a giant echo chamber for the Left. The currently worldwide very unsuccessful Left, I might add.
That openness may be why Rutherford is so flooded with comments that he has to post a new article every few days, instead of every few months.
Disgusting. Really disgusting. No serious discussion found here anymore.
Sorry do disturb your reverie; go back to outing and name-calling, girls; that seems to be the current modus operandi. Feh.

Anonymous on June 3: my driver’s license bears my photo. It is one of those new kind of licenses that involves some sort of holographic technology which makes it very hard to illegally manufacture bogus licenses. All my state has to do when I go to the polls is to ask to see the license along with my voter registration. The folks who don’t drive might be in a pickle unless they have an employee ID that bears their photo like I once had when I worked at the Pentagon. Then you get to the folks who would have to take a day off work to personally obtain a state sanctioned ID and that becomes impossible since so many jobs nowadays do not allow for personal time, vacation time, or even sick time. Since so many are looking for work, an employer could be as callous as desired and offload anyone for any reason, and I’ve seen this happen. Then there are the housebound who are old or ill. These are the folks who are often brought to the polls in volunteer vehicles. Their chances of personally going to the proper office and obtaining special voter ID are rather remote but as citizens they have the vote. It is vastly unsettling to see these state level voting roll purges handled the way they are. In pursuit of the few who may not be eligible to vote, many who do are harmed.

I find it very interesting no one is interested in an honest election. We require photo ID for cigs and booze, but not to vote? Seems to me this is motivated by self interest as the illegals want to vote for those who till give them the most stuff for free, ie the Democrats. Why should not one of the most important acts a citizen can do for his country do everything it can to guarantee that the process is pure. Both sides will feel the result from this as no one is saying just card Democrat or Republican voters.

For Pat on May 31st: If Tex et al. were welcome on the far right wing blogs, that is exactly where they would be instead of roaming so far afield. Even the right wingers have their criteria for congeniality.

Florida just can’t get it right! They tried to keep a 91 y.o. war veteran off the voting rolls despite the fact that the info on him was correct and he had been voting for years. Can’t wait to see the video of the great old guy with the flag in the background spitting fire at the purgers! What Florida did to him was an insult to us all.
