Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Last I checked, I thought Palin was a mother. Did she seriously attempt to denigrate mothers everywhere, including herself, just to get in another shot at Obama?
Logical consistency is not in the Tea Party's vocabulary when it comes to Obama.
Gunpla is amazing!
Trying to dissect shit Palin and Bachmann say is a practice in futility.

Watching a news blurb about the proposed military cuts, and senator Graham seriously made the argument that (paraphrased) we shouldn't gut our military today, because what if we have to invade Iran tomorrow?
Gunpla is amazing!
This is the guy who said this Ukraine thing is because of Obama and Bhengazi so....yeah, ignore what he says.

A "mom" in the sense that you have children, and attend all the social events. But the children are more or less ornamental, and your main priority is buying Gucci and maintaining your figure while sipping mimosa.

Cats aren't that hard to understand, really. Most of it comes down to "meow, serve me."
Of course, then I got the most glorious image of electing Unikitty to office.

Not that he's allergic, just that he's ignoring his own findings. It's like if i took a gun, shot someone, pointed to the corpse and said "see, he's fine!"

...I didn't realize Paul Ryan was actually stupid. He didn't massage his numbers at all, he posted them straight up and simply did not realize that they said exactly what the Democrats have been saying for years.

Oh the comments on that article re: the Dalai Lama...I should have known better than to read them I really should've...
He's not stupid, he's a hack. There's a difference between being incapable of intellectual integrity and being completely disinterested in it.

"He's not stupid, he's a hack." There is nothing mutually exclusive about those two things.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
So in other words...he's willfully saying that he's not saying what he's saying, without backpedaling on his findings?
Call me cynical, but anyone who's that divorced from intellectual integrity is either stupid or insane.

That's just what he wants you to think.
If so, I rest my case.

@Fighteer: I do not contest your point. Though given how much money he's made off of the taxpayer I gotta wonder who's really the stupid one.

The high court ruled that the practice did not violate the law because the women who were photographed while riding Boston public transportation were not nude or partially nude.
Or even just a law that hasn't caught up with modern practices.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. Dick
Why should that be illegal? If you're in a public space, you should be able to photograph anything you can see; I don't see why what angle you photograph someone from should be regulated.

@Pykrete: Because Obama is a liberal and thus unmanly and "mom jeans" are unmanly because "mom".
