I don't think the gag relies so much on Obama having coherent motives vis the energy industry, so much as being a street-talking darkie who delights in lying to Americans and thinking he's smarter than them.

So, you know, pretty accurate stuff there!

HyperZoneWasAwesome · « **Reply #16321 on:** February 25, 2012, 01:05:16 PM »

don't really high gas prices validate Obama's energy policy/movement towards green tech?

Isn't that what brought about even the idea of fuel economy and the environmental movement in the 70's was the gas crisis? I don't know how anybody can look at 4-5 bucks a gallon and think that "if only there was a marginal increase in production this wouldn't happen"?

Quote

Clement’s husband, Stephen, said Santorum was right on the mark when he said that Obama wants to send kids to get college degrees so as to produce more liberals.

“It starts down at the elementary school level with all this bullshit about diversity, pardon my French,” he said. “Diversity and sensitivity and all that crap. That’s the stuff that needs to be taught at home not by my teachers. My teachers need to be academic: Math, science, history, social studies, that sort of thing and keep political opinions out of it, bottom line.”

Rick Santorum:

-Political science degree from Pennsylvania State
-MBA from University of Pittsburgh
-Doctorate from Dickinson School of Law

Quote

“There are good, decent men and women who work hard every day and put their skills to the test that aren’t taught by some liberal college professor… That’s why he wants you to go to college. He wants to remake you in his image,” Santorum said.

Obama wants to "remake you in his image."

I suppose we're not meant to take any religious meaning away from that, either.

I like the next part of his quote too:

Quote

I want to create jobs so people can remake their children into their image, not his.”

I guess within a conservative social environment you can say things like this and no one will blink an eye, but it's just such a blatently narcissistic statement on child-rearing. Maybe if your kid wants the education you didnt get you should just be proud of him?

No no, Santorums right, just tell your kid that going to college is a choice between OBAMA OR YOUR OWN FATHER.

That sort of thing drives me batshit insane. No, you mouthbreathing fucktards, teaching people to not be assholes isn't political... it's teaching them to be good human beings. The fact that they DON'T WANT THAT FOR THEIR KIDS speaks volumes about THEM. Fucking assholes.

Okay, Romney be straight up trollin now:

Quote

Mr. Romney’s Florida trip might have seemed like an odd, if confident, detour from states that will be voting on Tuesday. But Michigan has an ample share of Nascar fans. And the campaign hoped that images of Mr. Romney at the speedway would circulate widely through the Southern states that vote on March 6.

But the crowd initially booed Mr. Romney, who occasionally struck a discordant note, as when he approached a group of fans wearing plastic ponchos. “I like those fancy raincoats you bought,” he said. “Really sprung for the big bucks

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #16334 on:** February 27, 2012, 03:02:19 PM »

Pretty much. To paraphrase a post at BalloonJuice from earlier today, Romney is familiar with life in a section of society that equates prowess/ability with your ability to make a lot of fucking money and not much else, so he's constantly making these fuck ups because internally he thinks THAT'S HOW SOCIETY MEASURES YOUR WORTH.

Random question. Not sure if I've asked this before in this thread, but since I don't remember getting a response...

So, I was reading about the Paul Ryan kill-medicare-to-save-medicare plan, and something occurred to me. People on medicare (as well as SS) currently get their benefits that current workers pay into the system. Ryan's plan offers people to opt out of medicare/SS and go into private plans. If people choose to go into those plans, then that means money that would be going to current recipients gets diminished. But the thing is, Ryan said that current beneficiaries won't be effected at all. How exactly is that possible?

I went to vote after work. There weren't many people there, perhaps because I'm in a rather liberal area (Washtenaw). Almost immediately after I walked up to the polling building (a church) a fat lady wearing a Romney shirt blurted out "are you a democrat!?!" and audibly sighed. Then some other person who I assumed to be a Romney supporter started complaining about young people wasting votes and tampering.

There was an old super skinny lady in Ron Paul stuff handing out pamphlets and she asked me to support Paul. She was so nice and I was still SMHing over Romney's people that I voted for Paul.

11% in Arizona and 19% in Michigan said they would only vote GOP if their candidate is the nominee.

It broke down pretty evenly in Arizona:
36% Romney
23% Santorum
23% Newt
18% Paul

In Michigan it was:
44% Santorum
27% Romney
18% Paul
9% Newt

In Arizona 11% said they were voting for the person because they dislike the other candidates, in Michigan 16% said this. Romney won those who favored or favored with reservations their candidate, but Santorum ran away with "dislike the other candidates":
51% Santorum
22% Romney
14% Paul
9% Newt

14% in Michigan said Abortion was the most important issue and they voted 77% for Santorum.

Romney won Catholics 44-37, Santorum won all the other Christians 42-40.

Santorum won Democrats 53-18-17-3. (Romney-Paul-Newt)
Romney won Republicans 48-37-6-7.
Romney won independents barely 35-34-21-7.

Here's the thing though.

Breitbart LOVED hate from the Left/Democrats/etc.

His entire theory was that conservatives needed to adopt what he thought was the Democrats scorched earth policy in destroying their enemies. Nothing really mattered, just THROW ANY SHIT YOU CAN FIND!

It's why he was orgasming so hard over Shirley Sherrod. He had won either way, either she was a racist or the Obama Admin fucked up by immediately firing her when the full video was already on the (NAACP?) website.

It's why he willingly let the Weiner weiner photos get "taken" from him on Opie and Anthony.

It's why Drudge semi-kicked him out.

Believe in the after life and you have to believe that Brietbart is using the rage to power his troops to join Satan in their plot to make Rick Santorum our God-King.
