Re: Why I'm voting republican!
Weak.
You two really thought this was OMG ORIGINAL... and OMG FUNNY?
I've seen better satire from a 2 year old.
And this applies to the dumbshit-tube posting for the other side as well.

Correction Mr. President, I DID build this, and please give Lurker a hug, we wouldn't want to damage his self-esteem.

Re: Why I'm voting republican!
Maybe I'm just easily amused because I thought both were funny. And have you ever seen a 2 year old try to do satire? The timing is all off.

Re: Why I'm voting republican!
The Daily Show & Colbert are about the only thing that still makes me laugh about politics right now because of people like this.....and the local woman you saw on TV swearing that Obama was an Arab.

Re: Why I'm voting republican!
I'm outraged and frustrated too. Only thing I can do about that really is cast my vote in a couple weeks. But that makes it all the more important to have a laugh whenever possible, and well, it helps being easily amused

Re: Why I'm voting republican!
This amused me, and it wasn't even trying. Some funny-crazy from the Dem side...

I just got an astounding e-mail from a Republican consultant I know well. He's a guy who's always thought Obama had a "glass jaw," and was always among those agitating for hitting Obama harder.
Recently, he conducted a focus group in an upper-Midwestern state, showing them the kind of ad he thought would work: A no-holds-barred attack, cut for an independent group, which hasn't aired.
I'm just going to reprint his amazed e-mail about the focus group:
Reagan Dems and Independents. Call them blue-collar plus. Slightly more Target than Walmart.
Yes, the spot worked. Yes, they believed the charges against Obama. Yes, they actually think he's too liberal, consorts with bad people and WON'T BE A GOOD PRESIDENT...but they STILL don't give a f***. They said right out, "He won't do anything better than McCain" but they're STILL voting for Obama.
The two most unreal moments of my professional life of watching focus groups:
54 year-old white male, voted Kerry '04, Bush '00, Dole '96, hunter, NASCAR fan...hard for Obama said: "I'm gonna hate him the minute I vote for him. He's gonna be a bad president. But I won't ever vote for another god-damn Republican. I want the government to take over all of Wall Street and bankers and the car companies and Wal-Mart run this county like we used to when Reagan was President."
The next was a woman, late 50s, Democrat but strongly pro-life. Loved B. and H. Clinton, loved Bush in 2000. "Well, I don't know much about this terrorist group Barack used to be in with that Weather guy but I'm sick of paying for health insurance at work and that's why I'm supporting Barack."
I felt like I was taking crazy pills. I sat on the other side of the glass and realized...this really is the Apocalypse. The Seventh Seal is broken and its time for eight years of pure, delicious crazy....

Re: Why I'm voting republican!
That's the problem the GOP has right now. The "Republican" brand has been so tarnished by W and some of the idiots McCain has used to run his campaign that people will actually vote Democrat despite hating everything they stand for.But I won't ever vote for another god-damn Republican.
They would probably be better just dumping the party and all taking over the Libertarian party.
