The Atlas Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts

Is a more apt title for what has happened here.

This thread has been violated beyond any recognition.

Presumably those 2.5 million Americans, or at least some of them, would like to become productive and successful members of society by gaining well compensated employment which provides health care coverage.

[Paul Kemp]

Wow. That actually got me up and clapping!

Leftists in general always seek compulsory unification of opinion. However, they fail to understand that leads to only the unanimity of the graveyard.

I think people have forgotten about Palin's endorsement, which I feel is coming just in time for her to steal the spotlight. Sarah Palin will endorse Santorum/Gingrich one or two days before the caucus, and that person will probably win, with Paul in second place and Romney at a close third. Santorum will be fourth if it was Gingrich who was endorsed by Palin, it will be Gingrich in fourth if Santorum was endorsed. Perry will be in fifth, and Bachmann at a distant sixth. I think Bachmann will drop out. Perry and whoever is in 4th place will stick it in until South Carolina. Gingrich might even wait until Florida.

Santorum/Gingrich: 27%
Paul: 20%
Romney: 19%
Gingrich/Santorum: 16%
Perry: 9%
Bachmann: 7%
Huntsman and Friends: 2%

And what if Palin endorses Romney?

European-style class warfare is soundly rejected each and every time it is tried in America nationwide. What worked for Ted freakin' Kennedy in Massachusetts does not work nationally. Just ask Walter Mondale.

[Cincinnatus]

Why did I get banned?

Just because some moderator who happens to be a Ron Paul fan was upset about me catching up on Paul's medical condition?

How can I found out who blocked me, and where can I raise a complaint?

Cincy, how hard was it to decide whether to put that post in here on in the Institute of Comedy?

Dale is easily the best contributor to this thread.

Something VERY weird should happen.
Dem must eat a baby and said that he would destroy all states execept CA, OR, HI, NJ, VT, RI and MD.

The 2020s are a weird time. In 2024, after 11 years of Republicans controlling the government, economic growth under 4% is considered a stagnation and if the US government produces a surplus under $250 billion, the public freaks out. Also notice of how the democratic candidate wins CA, OR, HI, NJ, VT, RI and MD by very low margins.

What an excellent man. I think Thune would make a terrific Vice President.

I watched one of Romney's speeches earlier, and it gave me the goosebumps. I'm feeling cautiously optimistic about tomorrow - not sure if Romney will be first, but regardless, I think tomorrow will be a very positive day for the our next President.

Thune is honored to support Mitt Romney.

I have been wondering since I fell in love with her music 3 years ago.
But I absolutely have no clue.
And I haven't read anything about her political views so far, either.

PS: I hope you are able to label the quadrants correctly.

Tomorrow, this thread will be filled.

America is probably the most classless society on the planet. Even most of the very wealthiest Americans do not look down upon lower earners (I wish I could say the same about some acquaintances I know from abroad). It is a stark contrast to what you will see virtually everywhere else in the world where the wealthiest look down on those who are not as well-off.

Even today America still has the largest degree of social mobility, too.

His first sentence was accurate, but not in the way he intended.

Context:

At this point in 2008, wasn't everyone saying the same things about Romney and Clinton?

Will homosexuals and heterosexuals at some point silently agree that things worked a lot better for both sides when open homosexuals stuck to San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York?

Fair or not, and I certainly have no problem with homosexuals or homosexuality unlike most folks I know, homosexuals will never be embraced by society at large to the degree they fantasize about. Unfortunately, they will always be treated as second-class except where they are heavily concentrated. The best they could have ever hoped for was having their own mecca in San Francisco. AIDS kind of prevented that, I guess.

Most disgusting post ever? Most disgusting post ever.

That is pretty much one of the most disgusting posts I have ever read on here.

It reminds me of some of the things AuH2ORepublican from 2004-2005 often said, which of course are the ones that can compete with it.
