WHEN IS CPAC GOING TO BE FUCKING OVER ALREADY UGH

[13chapters]

i'm just over the gop. they're so fucking stupid and ridiculous I can't even summon up annoyance, let alone rage. They could say that Obama assassinated JFK and was Benedict Arnold's right hand man and at this point, I'd just go "huh".

Yes, it's gotten to the ludicrous point of "Oh, yes, isn't that nice. Wonder if I have some leftover pizza."

i'm still in bed and now i'm thinking pizza for breakfast sounds DAMNED good.

sadly this is not going to happen.

Oh CPAC. Some nutjob could blow it to kingdom come and nothing of value would be lost.

Citing the bible to ridicule everything from health insurance coverage to paying income tax, the crowd seemed to enthusiastically agree with Mike Huckabee’s view that our government should be dictated by their religious beliefs, and to not do so is a violation of their first amendment rights.

Yeah... That's not what the first amendment's about.

Hell, if the Catholic bishops had shown a hundredth of this concern for the well-being of sexual abuse victims....no, not going to go there. It's not good for my blood pressure.

[kaowolfie]

Please please tell me you deliberately said Muslin and not Muslim, because LOL.

If a political leader is Prochoice, they don’t care about anyone, therefore society at large does not care about each other which lead to businesses not caring about their employees, and ultimately to Americans losing their job.

Seriously? I CANNOT.
