The executive committee of the state Republican Party has turned back an effort to hold closed primaries in Tennessee. ...>Tell me again how we need to fight the GOPe inside the GOP?

Get on the executive committee.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

I'm suspended for being mean to queers.

You mean the disease-ridden, boy-raping whackjobs? Hmmmmm...

Humorless bastards

You'll find very little of that here.

I have listened to Carson, and he reminds me of Ross Perot. In his heyday Perot has good arguments as well.
Certainly better than “Read my lips, no new Taxes” - And that was in 1992.

The GOP has not gotten any better or different since then. We are a wealthy nation because of the Rule of Law and the right of private property.

The IRS is compromising the Rule of Law

And Bush I’s appointment to the supreme court agreed that a state no monger has to pay due compensation for the taking of private property

David Souter

What in the Hell do REPUBLICANS stand for? - A minor version of Fascists as compared to the more virulent Democrats?

Freedom is being taken away one piece at a time.

Blazing Saddles would never be made today. It is Racist, the list goes on. When is enough enough. I have reached my limit.

[DanZ]

Facebook - why provide the class bully an opportunity to make money off of you?

[DanZ]

“Get on the executive committee.”

The vote was 37-26 - We will have to agree to disagree

[Twotone]

No, I’m not a man, but I appreciate the sentiment. :-)

[humblegunner]

Facebook - why provide the class bully an opportunity to make money off of you?

Because there are no queers or liberals here to attack.

If one wishes to smack around the bad guys, one must go where the bad guys are.

My question as well. The Brian Williams lies could just as easily be called embellishment or some other euphemism to describe creative truth management. From what I have read, Williams was self aggrandizing. His fantasies do not begin to compare to the half truths, misleading truths, deceit, lying in dozens of ways, by the media and the whole Obama administration which they engage in every time their mouths are open. I wonder what agenda is being served or advanced with the outing of Williams at this particular time. He has been well paid to be a part of the lying media so no tears for his welfare. As long as they are going after the Katrina reporting by Williams, there are others who also went hysterical with misinterpretation of actual events. Out them as well, along with the celebrities and national figures who pretended to believe the worst tales and have never retracted any of it.

The media as it exists today has their fingers crossed whenever it speaks or writes or communicates with the public on any given subject. Americans have to stay skeptical.

[Fishtalk]

Actually I think it’s a hoot.

and they banned you for that?

Heh....right...humorless bastids.

[humblegunner]

Well, there were follow-up comments as well.
Who knows.

All in good fun.. except for the several fags who objected.

Need to score myself some “Protected Victim” status...

[bray]

Exactly, between the unaffiliated and non voters there are plenty of votes to make a third Party. Face it, the Repubs treat the Tea Party like the Dems treat the blacks, so let them have their wish and let the Tea Party go elsewhere.

[Rome2000]

Har!

Thanks for the correction.

[Rome2000]

Good points!

[DanZ]

“, the Repubs treat the Tea Party like the Dems treat the blacks”

HO, Ho, Ho - Does we blacks needs go to the back of the bus? :)

[Alas Babylon!]

Well, you are a heterosexualist. While not a protected victim, it is already a victim of LeftHate. what if we called Facebook heterophobic?

[BlueDragon]

You could try signing up under the name "Poor Black Child" (as in, "I was born a ...)

No offense intended to those whom actually were.

Or pretend you are a Jewish native American midget lesbian who's gone straight?

' Finding just the right pic to go with the profile could be difficult, but if one limited it to "face" alone (it is Facebook, right?) then one good enough (and obscurely enough sourced) could possibly be found.

To make that plan worthwhile, a step two, as in how to use other alternative-like media to shame Facebook for banning a repentant lesbian midget Jewess native American, is somewhat beyond my own expertise...but I'd wager that your own humble self may have an idea or two for how that sort of thing could be done (lampooning special victim status, while one is at it).

[ROCKLOBSTER]

No, I’m not a man, but I appreciate the sentiment.

Well then, you are the Mama Bear.

[humblegunner]

That’s certainly a possibility.

Don’t know that I’d have the patience for it but on the
plus side I do know a bit about midgets. I’ve boarded and
trained quite a few, the little buggers.

So there’s that.

[Fishtalk]

Well you made me laff.

[Fishtalk]

And still I must laff.
