Was it the UN that was supposed to invade?

I thought it was the all-conquering Canadian army.

I know what you mean, one comment I got the other day told me I was on the right track but really the illuminati were behind everything that was going on. They are a secret society who are so good at being undetectable that people just have no idea that they exist. If you Google them you will only find 6,770,000 references to them, and God forbid, no homepage.

Just a tip; your Penguins and Steelers logos could be taken for that suspicious “O.” LOL

Well, I could call this “Reasons I am not a conservative.” I’m not a liberal (in the euphemism-for-Marxist sense) either, but we saw the same thing from them in 2000. with the “selection” etc. What’s largely missing is a sense of proportion. Obama’s constitutional eligibility to serve is relevant, but it needed to have been settled before the nominating convention. We could find a smoking gun tomorrow proving without doubt that The Won is not a native-born citizen, and he’d still hold the office until 2012, because possession is 9/10 of the law. And _Rent_ is a symptom of the decadence of our civilization, but certainly not a cause.

Republicans have no immutable principles (unlike Democrats, whose principles are evil), so it’s inevitable that the power-fight turns to poo-flinging. If they could say “Here are the problems; here are the solution,” without wading into horse-trading, they’d have no problem winning elections. But AFAIK, only one Republican has consistently done that, and it did him little good in his Presidential run, mostly because if Ron Paul was right, then the rest of the party was wrong. That’s another reason for Obama Derangement Syndrome: it’s easier to get personal, because if the Obama bailouts are wrong and counterproductive (and they are), then what was the Bush bailout?

5 years from now we will be amazed that we ever had the luxury of arguing about Limbaugh v. Steele. It’ll be dictatorship or anarchy.

“It’s the same thing we see every time we lose an election. The nutjobs come slithering out from under their rocks…”

Yes, they thrive in a negative atmosphere.
