I went back in time and videotaped Obama squeezing out of his mother's vagina. While she was holding the slimy purple little raisin on her bosom, I made her show me her Hawaiian driver's license with her name on it. Then I panned to a view out the window that clearly showed a Hawaiian volcano. Finally I videotaped the doctor walking in and signing the long-form birth certificate, and saying "Mahalo!" to the camera.
Then I came back to the present and showed the Birthers the videotape proof.
You know what they said?
"How do we know that's this Barack? Maybe she gave birth to another Barack."
jdrennan: "She was so good, and you all are so scared, it's a beautiful thing!!"
Yeah, that's the ticket. We're "jealous."
CurlyMellencamp: "Where to start? O.K.- first you wrote-"The PPP polling out last week (a Democratic outfit) had Palin beating Obama 49-42 in Louisiana."
I asked you for a link because I haven't heard of the polling outfit. You told me to google. I did, and found them but nowhere on their site did I find where they were "a Democratic outfit." Can you provide proof of that or is that a lie designed to bolster your credibility?
I also didn't find anywhere on the site a poll showing Palin beating Obama in any poll. I did find one where Jindal outpolled Obama which you referenced later in another letter, but nowhere a poll that specifcally as you mentioned, showed Palin beating Obama in a match up in Louisiana. Again please provide a link or I'll just have to assume your spreading disinformation."
Hey Curly... I gotta say it...
SLAM, part 2!
Nice job catching Readerreader on one of his lies. He's desperate, apparently.
Juliebird: ""By contrast, Goldwater always had a seat of honor at Republican gatherings."
I'm sure that had nothing to do with the fact that Goldwater was still a senator for 20 years after his presidential bid.
Dukakis retired to private life after competing his term as governor, and does not appear to have worked within party politics until 2006, when he actively supported Duval Patrick's bid for MA governor.
Carter likewise returned to private life before becoming the "elder statesman" he is today. However, he was a speaker at the 1984, 1988, 1992 (in fact ,coverage of him at 1992 suggested his speaking was proof he had been "rehabilitated"), 2000 (appearing at Al Gore's personal invitation), and 2004 convention. Carter's presence at the 08 was brief (his speech as pre-taped), but that was due to the uproar over his newly-published controversial book. Hardly "in the rafters."
Republican spin as usual."
I have just one word for what you wrote in response to Readerreader:
SLAM!
