The Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts

And the average American will not travel to Canada/Japan/England about once a year.

What's absurd about that post is the amount of thought put into it.

For starters $95k/year is quite far from the average US yhousehold income.

That is one problem. Also a doctor is average? But only earns 50k? Wtf? I suspect she's actually a nurse. In any case, by far, the most absurd aspect is the idea that a population can be averaged. Even if you had a person who had average stats on a number of fields, that consistency would be highly atypical. We live in a profoundly diverse nation. And that's even presuming that we're limiting our population to the US, which is yet another absurdity.

tbf it is Simfan though. Anyone earning under $5 million per annum is clearly a peasant.

I suppose this makes me a true Rockefeller Republican.

Sadly, people do not always invest the time to understand the facts. The lies told by the democratic party about the war in Iraq hurt President Bush. Despite bi-partisian accomplishments such as No Child Left Behind and Medicare Part D, Democrats successfully portrayed President Bush as a divisive leader. Luckily, enough Americans realized President Bush was an accomplished President and a steady leader where as Senator Kerry would take positions based on polls and held some very left wing beliefs.

Are you from late-2003? You do know that NCLB is now regarded very poorly by most people, that the Iraq War was actually in fact based based on false information and was a huge mistake, and the Medicare Part D was a woefully executed and unfunded giveaway to the pharmaceutical industry, right?

When the democrats can't win on the truth, they lie, and sometimes it works for them (think 2012, 1964) and sometimes it does not (think 2004). Thus, President Bush won re-election by a closer margin than previous war time Presidents.

Uh no, Republicans lie. For example: 1936, 1948, 1964, 1968, 1972, 1988, 1992, 1994, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2008, 2010, 2012

I'm not going to say that all the GOP candidates have always told the absolute truth, but the truth is the democratic party has had a disproportionate number of candidates who have lied over the years. Democrats win by lying, distracting, and distorting. Republicans win by nominating strong leaders.

hey guys, people who disagree me lie and for some reason people who agree with me don't as much!! i don't know why, it's probably because I'm right and people who disagree with me aren't so they have to lie.  Or they're just devil dogs.  lol, idk guys!

Did Mitt Romney have an economic plan? A vague one, but still more bold than Obama's. Obama said Romney only wanted to give tax cuts to the wealthy, a falsehood.

Did Bush's tax cuts only help the wealthy? No, but his opponents said they did.

Did John Kerry changed his position on Iraq? He did, but he said he did not.

Did Ronald Reagan have a plan to raise taxes in 1984? No, but Walter Mondale said he did.

Did Barry Goldwater plan on war? No, but LBJ said he did.

Republicans have their share of problems, but the democratic party has won elections based on lies. The GOP has been guilty of this too, but not as much it seems.

glad I'm not poor.

Absurdity.

Gun owners should have to register with the local police and go home to home in their neighborhood informing their neighbors that they are gun owners. They should also not be able to live near schools.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Old , and even more bullied than now by people who don't care about history.

Plus, the wonderful irony of this poll is that the same liberals who claim to champion the "working man" and demonize the upper classes will probably vote Freedom Food as well because they're European.

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

All this whining is bizarre. Giving away the farm to the 47ers hasn't been a priority in Georgia even back to the days of Roy Barnes.

New record for post most densely packed with idiocy?

[traininthedistance]

The words "Southern" and "Republican" should never be used together, at least nowadays.

Sbane is from California and therefore understandably has a slanted opinion on public unions.

Because he goes to med school there.

Ah, that would make sense.

Fortunate One. And agreed. Anything is better than pornography.

Our suffocatingly prudish, sex-shaming culture sure has done a number on poor, young Simfan.

Susana Martinez's dad seems to be dying.

For practical purposes, this does mean she'll have fewer forces tying her down when it comes time to think of a national run in 2015...

Seems like they used to deign to give these unfortunate people scraps from their most high and mighty farmhouse table, though.

It is mere chance that Roy Barnes had to deal with fewer of those types. One wonders why they have not self-deported to San Francisco over the last decade.

The working poor of Georgia should just relocate to San Francisco. Krazen might've finished the year with his most absurd statement of the year.

Sex is great. I can vouch for this personally, mind you.

Oh, well, as long as you say so!

40 minutes early is not extremely early by any stretch of the imagination.

Hey, I've got a routine and it works.  There is a saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!".  My routine isn't broken, so there's no need to fix it!
