2008 USP(G)ET pt. II: counting the days to 2012 primary thread 1

it's too bad we can't kill all four of them and elect http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/WidowOfDestiny/Jiggle_Panda.gif

^^ truth bomb

xp lol, momz wants to move to

a) the boonies of Ireland (I kid you not)
b) Washington state

in that order.

She won't do either. She's never had a life of her own, nor had to struggle to do anything in her life ever.

(The sad part is that I'll probably won't be visiting L.A. nearly as often anymore. :( But that's for another thread. )

jimmy john's is a midwestern sub chain with 10/10 commercials but only 6/10 subs

Sorry, Brian.

well, maybe things will be better 28 days later...

(pun intended, lol)

last night joe biden would NOT shake my hand because there was lots of old ass women blabbering about health care in front of me but then eventually i tracked him down and got a firm shake

Next time dress in drag.

thanks, Nicole.

now I can actually anwer the Thurston Moore "what do you do when you find out yr mom's a skinhead?" joke.

and it won't be Shakey's answer

Oh, send it straight to the Secret Service. If my mom put something like that in writing I would completely teach her that kind of lesson.

Dan, thanks for that; I tried to explain basically what the story said - that the forms under question have already been weeded out by various ACORN offices as problematic but have to be turned in because you can't throw them away. British media doesn't give a shit about it, fortunately, as it appears not to pass through the Bullshit Needle Eye. She wasn't really interested so I gave up and told her that I was sure that putting the forms through scrutiny was not a big deal or a bad thing. She's also conflating them with giving NINJA mortgages out, when the blame for that shit HAS to go to greedy loan officers on commission just as much and possibly more so. People who work in banks don't give poor people shit unless something's in it for them.

Is the pun that your mother might secretly be a zombie??

gbx: don't tell me, Calhoun Square Jimmy John's?

JJ's is a hoagy shop, schef.

gbx: don't tell me, Calhoun Square Jimmy John's?

BUSTED

Mackro, I sympathize. Mom has been blathering about ACORN for 10 days now.

MY mom basically wants to marry Obama

lol cubans lol white ppl

someone on another message board i was reading suggested palin is popular w/ 'certain groups' because she is essentially a goddess of white fertility for folks concerned about perpetuating the white race

i thought that was pretty perceptive

I thought that was pretty blatant!

i guess it felt like a subtext but i havent seen the words 'fertility goddess' in a single palin thread so far!

Oh yeah definitely -- I picked up on that white-viking shit when it was apparent she couldn't spell Trygg.

My mom LOVED Obama until Reverend Wright "scandal" and it was like she was a jilted suitor thereafter. I keep telling her that any subsequent resentments of the Obamas are the death throes of white entitlement. /psyops

HAHAHAHA the next thread will be 2008 General Election and Bad Food Franchises of Mpls.

My mom likes Sarah Palin and thinks the media has been very cruel and elitist towards her, but is still voting for Obama. Which is shocking to me, since she is usually very conservative.

when are all these old people gonna die

My mom hates Sarah Palin. And we watched Rev Wright's interview on Bill Moyers' show together and she thought that what he said there and in his sermons was pretty otm. But then again, my mother was born in the axis of evil, has a PhD from a school in EUROPE, makes lots of $$$$$$$$$$ and has no children who play hockey.

i just suggest banned your mom

Hey now, Mandee. All three of my living grandparents are voting for Obama.

Yeah, my best friend's parents, who are in their mid-to-late 70's, are both voting for Obama. They're old-school Kennedy Democrats and think Palin is the craziest crazy who ever crazied.

lol waht!!

I just had an image of Palin looking like Quetzalcoatl.

My whole extended socialist Jewish family is voting Obama. Ironically, my grandparents are even more enthusiastic about it than their kids.

What can you do. Jews, right?

pretty sure my parents & grandparents are voting for McCain. In fact my mom already has.

my gf's grandparents, who are both 86, are both voting obama, though they really wanted hrc to win the nom

My mom, the eternal contrarian, is considering voting for nobody (the first presidential vote I remember her making was for John Anderson in 1980, to give you an idea). My dad's always admired McCain but I think the last few weeks might well have given him pause. We'll see.

since I've lived my whole life in the bible belt it kinda blows my mind that there are old people who are enthusiastic about voting Dem!!

i really wasnt serious when i said the thing about old people dying

my grandparents, were they still alive, would have voted obama no question

yah sure way to be glad my grandparents are dead ;_;

xp

All of my grandparents were hard-core Democrats.

if my mom's parents were still alive IDK if they'd vote McCain, but my dad's parents are solidly conservative Baptists (& I suspect my granddad is racist)

I'm pretty sure everybody in my family and my wife's family will vote McCain, but whaddaya gonna do, entrenched Mississppi bigots etc etc.

Ronald Reagan turned my abuela red.

My mom can't vote (never became a US citizen), but my dad, who's as right as right gets, actually called me up in the middle of the night (when I just happened to be home cough cough) to tell me that, because of Obama's nomination acceptance speech, he was going to give McCain the high hat. And then we made lots of "lol old" joeks.

Reagan turned my mom red (not in the commie sense)

(my dad voted Carter b/c of family relations)

Barack 'Osama' on Rensselaer County ballots

By BOB GARDINIER, Staff writer
Last updated: 3:21 p.m., Friday, October 10, 2008

TROY — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's last name is spelled "Osama" on hundreds of absentee ballots mailed out this week to voters in Rensselaer County.

The misspelling, which elections officials on both sides of the aisle insist was simply a typo, is causing embarrassment for the county.

''No question this is an honest mistake innocently done,'' said Edward McDonough, the Democratic commissioner. ''We catch almost everything.''

''This was a typo,'' said Republican Commissioner Larry Bugbee. ''We have three different staff members who proof these things and somehow the typo got by us.''
