They LOVE abortion....

Well, everyone knows that since all poodles are dogs, all dogs are poodles, right?

Imagine if this was a democrat

That the rest of the GOP puts up with him is defining. If he was a democrat by now he'd have resigned or been booted by his own party, majority or not, just like Franken, Wiener, and Cuomo among others did.

"The embattled House Republican, describing his tense encounter with GOP Sen. Mitt Romney ahead of Tuesday’s State of the Union address, claimed he received some positive words of encouragement from Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, the Arizona independent.

“Kyrsten Sinema as she was walking by, the senator from Arizona, she said something to the effect of ‘hang in there buddy’ or something like that,” Santos told Newsmax.

“I said ‘Thank you, madam senator,’” Santos said during the interview. “She was very polite, very kind-hearted as I’ve learned to see her. She’s a good person, unlike Mr. Romney.”

Sinema’s office made clear on Friday there is no truth to that claim.

“This is a lie,” Sinema spokeswoman Hannah Hurley told CNN."


BTW - Did the airbags on Kyrsten Sinema's outfit deploy during the State of the Union? (Stolen from Twitter)


The GOP has become the party of the crazies. Keep it up you zany kooksters - this popcorn isn't going to eat itself!

Then there is the type of guy who is the one that the guy above decides to challenge.

Usually what happens is that the first guy who mouthed off to the other guy wakes up either A) on the sidewalk with a broken arm and a few missing teeth or B) in the hospital being taken care of by Doctors in the intensive care unit regretting his choice.

I'll leave it to the rest on the forum to decide who you are and who I am.   smile
We decided that a long time ago. You're the guy who tries to convince a bunch of people he's never met that he's a tough guy - from behind the safety and anonymity of the internet connection in his mother's basement of course.  Jim on the other hand, seems like a pretty cool guy with a small business that employs others.

Nobody thinks you're tough guy.  We just think you're a little guy with a big mouth.

It's a variation of a joke that's been around forever.  It was stale a decade ago.

Well, they crack each other up, and that's kinda funny.

Do you need to go see your therapist about it?  Have you made an appointment with him today?  

Did you take any of your anxiety pills to get you focused and back on track?  

Wow.  shocked
Why are you compelled to reply to every single post?

Wow.  shocked

BOO!

So, please understand that I expect the left wing press to pull every dirty trick they can to minimize Haley's chances.  I believe also that left wingers get the same shabby treatment from the right wing press.

I predict that if Trump actually throws his hat in the ring, N.H. will be on the receiving end of plenty of vile treatment from sources on the right, too, as the GOP eats itself alive in divisiveness.

You guys crack me up. When something doesn't pass the smell test, why don't you do a little research before posting it up here. It took me literally less than one minute to find that your "list" was originally posted by CapitolHillBlue.com way back in 1999 and was widely debunked at the time as false.

Real good at Google, huh?

I'm no computer expert that's for sure, but if you can't post the link properly to prove your case, I think that speaks volumes about your "google" expertise.

LOL!  
Oh I see.  When I stated "the 'list' was originally posted by CapitolHillBlue.com way back in 1999 and was widely debunked at the time as false", you actually looked at the link for the debunk?

Ha ha! Read my post again. Real slow this time.
