Karl Rove isn't a policy guy. His job is to win elections for the republican party and he's pretty darn good at it. And I say this as someone who despises the man with every fiber of my body.... I don't understand what you're saying. You're happy she won because she has the 'teabagger' label...

It's also funny that a lot of the things people in this country consider 'socialism' like state pensions or public health insurance actually came about as a reaction to real socialism. Otto von bismarck, who was the chancellor of germany at the end of the 19th century, was very much a...

Johnny, you didn't address my question at all....you just ranted for the most part. How is christine o'donnell (the 'tea party' candidate) any different from other republicans. She's spent her whole life pushing 'values' (i.e. not masturbating), is against abortion no matter what the...

^^yeah, just saw that. Too bad, because I really dislike kelly ayotte and she's a tougher opponent for hodes, who is a good guy overall regardless of their positions on MMJ. And you're right, john lynch is the biggest obstacle to any progress on the state-level. Fuck him.

I liked the joke. I also like the face she makes when she says "why am i in the picture". My guess is you wouldn't be getting laid a whole lot with this one anyhow... This whole tea party wave might end up being a better thing for democrats than for republicans in states where the general...

Hinduism: another evil religion... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvzVe5cbkG8&feature=related

Most countries in europe have a high national VAT and it's hardly a model to follow. If you buy a coffee at a bar in italy and pay cash, chances are the guy is not ringing up the transaction in order to avoid paying taxes. Also, people become very crafty at turning things into business expenses...

Apparently the race is still too close to call, but the guy leading her isn't all that much better. He's against it, but at least thinks it should be a state issue. However he doesn't do as well in polling against the democrat in the race, who happens to support medical mariijuana... Oh, and...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lq6RhRRaNDg I'm happy...

Yes and no. In jury trials, the jurors will be very much biased in favor of prosecution. In most people's head the logic is that if you're being dragged to court and charged with a crime, you're probably guilty of something and tend to believe the cops over you in most cases. It becomes very...

^^Yeah, you might be on to something as far as political evolution goes (although I don't think it's that linear...). I would add though that if you turn the clock back 300 years from your starting point in the 18th century, it was the exact opposite. Europeans were busy with the plague, killing...

Lots of them are on a power trip, but for the most part they're just doing their job, which happens to involve enforcing some ridiculous laws.... I have a problem with the laws on the books, not with the police.

^^And if there were any sane conservatives out there, they would make themselves heard as well. Seems like the homophobe bible-thumpers, big business whores and morality legislators are all we hear about on msnbc. If there really were conservatives who believed in responsible government and...

^^ you must be a miserable human being if you really believe the shit you spew.

Red, the article was actually a decent read. It might be some kind of reading comprehension/interpretation issue, dunno; jeff f doesn't strike me as the sharpest tool in the shed... I would recommend he stick to parroting rnc talking points, but he wants to get creative.

^good point... What about buildings that were synagogues before the holocaust and are now being used as churches? Was it insensitive of christians to set up their places of worship in communities where christians had murdered countless jews? A lot of those christians were german soldiers...

I think he's conveying that he's a simpleton with a lot of pent up anger...

Like I said, the missles came AFTER we tried to overthrow him...after we had promised not to. I read the article, jeff....what does he say himself, exactly? And why do you insist on insulting everyone all the time...?

I was actually responding to your previous post (you must have replied to my first in the meantime...), but since you're not capable of talking about it like an adult and feel the need to insult everyone who disagrees, I'm not going to bother. I also enjoy the irony of being called a douche...

Actually, no jeff...read up about the chronology of the cuban revolution. The missles came later. Initially, the cuban revolution was NOT pro-moscow. It was leftist and socialist, but it's only after america shunned them and later tried to overthrow the new government that they turned to the...
