The 2012 Three Ring Circus AKA The US Presidential Election

[Divair]

And once again, the Christian Taliban starts the usual intimidate-the-voters-in-Jesus'-name drive.

To think that I once considered Mike Huckabee a sane conservative. Hoo boy howdy, was I ever off on that!

They ought to put that on a campaign sign, don't you think?

Vote for Romney
or
Go to Hell!

They already do that, just more discreetly. They let Faux do most of the advertising for them.

Go to Hell!

The Democrats could easily change those signs.

Or how about "Vote for Obama and America will continue to go to hell"

Or how about "Vote for Obama and America will continue to go to hell if he continues using right-wing economics"

Fixed.

Yes, that's what Faux does.

Try not to live up to the exact thing being parodied WHILE attempting to counter the parody.

[Objectiveland]

Or how about "Vote for Obama and America will continue to go to hell if he continues using statist/collectivist ideology"

Fixed.

I agree

[The Tiger Kingdom]

Fixed.

The funny thing is, he really doesn't.
The private sector execs are making more money than they ever have under a Republican.
Edit: Oh, that's good. Barely makes sense, given we can see what Mavorpen actually said, but whatever floats your boat.

Don't you get it? Anything left of far-rightism is collectivist statist communist socialist atheistic Moslem godless homosexual propaganda.

[Neo Art]

Seriously, you're awful at this schtick.

[Objectiveland]

I agree

Seriously, you're awful at this schtick.

The individual decides what is funny. I say it is funny to me therefore it is.

Now that's funny. And sorry, no, somehow loudly declaring "IT'S FUNNY" after being profoundly unfunny does not change anything regarding the objective humor value of said statement, much as I wish it could.

[Neo Art]

I'm sure you crack your imaginary children up. When they're not running in fear from black people on TV, of course.

Anyway, I grade your efforts D-. Predictable, trite, uninspired, and most of all, the biggest sin, boring.

IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE HE POINTS OUT WHY YOU AREN'T FUNNY!

HA!

Gotta love the Onion, but after reading it, I came to realize that if I were Obama in that situation, I probably would actually do that.

(This is light-hearted. Please don't think I'm trying to insult you for supporting Romney or anything. It's clearly a joke.)

[The Black Forrest]

I wish my moderate Republican friends would simply be honest. They all say they’re voting for Romney because of his economic policies (tenuous and ill-formed as they are), and that they disagree with him on gay rights. Fine. Then look me in the eye, speak with a level clear voice, and say, “My taxes and take-home pay mean more than your fundamental civil rights, the sanctity of your marriage, your right to visit an ailing spouse in the hospital, your dignity as a citizen of this country, your healthcare, your right to inherit, the mental welfare and emotional well-being of your youth, and your very personhood.”

It’s like voting for George Wallace during the Civil Rights movements, and apologizing for his racism. You’re still complicit. You’re still perpetuating anti-gay legislation and cultural homophobia. You don’t get to walk away clean, because you say you “disagree” with your candidate on these issues.

Hmmmmm. I never thought of it that way. How many times have we read I have nothing against gays but I am voting for the guy that does.

Oh well. Just one of the many reasons I don't like Willard.

Can't wait for the elections to be over.

Really? It's just the fact that Obama is a Democrat?

I don't recall Clinton ever being harped at to produce a birth certificate. He never was called a liar during the State of the Union address, didn't have some pissant racist governor shove a finger in his face. Did Ken Starr and the rest of the "moral majority" waste our time with an impeachment hearing because they felt like everyone should know about the president's private affairs more than we needed to in the first place? Yes, but even then you didn't have Newt Gingrich using the same vitriol and venom that the neo-con GOP rhetoric uses these days.

And that's just the abuse he gets from his "peers" in government. It gets worse when you consider the Tea Party and their blatant crass bigotry.

Hell yes the whole GOP plan has been structured around old-school WASP racism and fear. Sure the end result may be a return to absolute power like the US experienced...well before it was a nation and just a bunch of colonies on the east coast. But make no mistake, the core underlying motif behind the GOP platform since at least 2008 is "the other", and how much "other" can you get in this country than a black man when your core demographic is under-educated, caucasian (mostly), and easily swayed by fanatical dialogue?

there is some small element of true racism in it.

but asb is right. its a democrat thing. they were brutal in their criticism of bill clinton and his wife. they accused mrs clinton of murder for god's sake. they impeached the president over nothing--any excuse would do once they decided on their course of action. they accused the clintons of looting the white house on their way out.

the reason it feels worse now is because they are crazier than ever. crazier people do and say crazier things.

Well now. The auto companies are questioning Willards attack ads.

Why are today's conservatives so comedically challenged?

I mean, back in the 60's and 70's, the National Review was actually even funny.

[Wikkiwallana]

Limbaugh is in am now. I haven't heard him on a fm station in years. And I patrol fm nightly.

And didn't Glenn Beck's show get cancelled?

He now has his own TV station.
