as Obama says. Poor guy, probably can't afford a proof reader in these troubled economic times.

Either Dr. Paul or Dr. Coburn from Oklahoma. Too bad he didn't bother to get his facts straight.

I am truly weary of politicians soliciting money and promising change. They know it's what we want and it burns when no change results from contributions. What do they do with all the money? Burn it to keep warm? Asian hookers? Coke? What???

I'm always here to give you grief (usually about coverage of a certain governor) so I should praise you when you do good. Once in awhile, anyway.

I'm not going to donate any money to [DeMented/DimWit/other juvenile riff on his name] but I'm very tempted to give $17.87.

It's quite possible DeMint actually knew what he was saying. The founding fathers promised, in the Declaration of Independence:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."

They then delivered the Bill of Rights, in the Constitution, at a later date.

It's lucky for him that his supporters are dumber.

Obama claimed that the US was one of the world's leading Muslim nations.

Apart from all the real Muslim nations, India, most of Africa, Belgium, Holland, England, France and Germany of course.

Otherwise they might notice that the good old days they pine for never existed.

Sort of like how our constitutional-scholar president tried to get congress to pass a 90% tax on AIG bonuses (after Dodd pushed them through) only to find out that selectively targeting a specific group for taxation is prohibited by the constitution.

Does that mean leeches and ritual bloodletting are essential components of DeMint's plan?

The folks who thump their chests the loudest about Founding Fathers and original intent are most often the same folks who've never learned anything about the subject.

Everything looks simple from 10 miles up--it's not until you study the issues that you see just how complex the creation of the USA really WAS.

I am truly weary of politicians soliciting money and promising change.

Hell, the underlings copy papa.

The president sets the example. If every goddamn king-wannabee that's been voted in for the last several decades actually did what his piehole promised ethics in politics would be much more a reality than the fable it currently is.

A nation powered by lies. That's what we've become. And, if you want to paint roses on your shit just trot a dumb monkey like Gibbs out there with his pasty, sneering grin muttering yet more lies to make it all better.

Let's face it. The populace is full of stupid pricks with security fetishes who only care about liars or stupid asses if they commit adultery or take their cigarettes.

DeMint can get voted in not knowing a damn line of the constitution. Nary a word will be posed questioning the atrocious inaccuracy posted here by Koppelman (kudos) but, by Christ Jesus and his mother, Mary, if DeMint so much as sticks his dick in another woman beside his wife hellfire will rain and he'll fuck up his career.

The HELL with the constitution! Let's go after the adulterers!

To HELL with the POLITICAL lying and stupidity which has a huge impact on this country's future! Let's go after the adulterers!

To HELL with the goddamn lack of transparency in an explosively-growing government! Let's go after the adulterers!

Priorities are askew in a most massive way.

What a week to be a South Carolinian. Though it may seem to be the case, we aren't all stupid. I swear.

Republicans....

and yet we Democrats seem total incapable of taking these gifts a doing anything about

health care, climate change, torture, Iraq, or gay rights....

Howard Dean is right. The problem isn't electorate....they have spoken loud and clear, it is WASHINGTON!

SOMEONE please inform the Democrats in DC that they are no longer in the minority and the enemy is army of morons!

DeMint is a fool, but no more foolish than the bizarre "but Obama ..." responses.

DeMint screwed up. He's a moron. This has nothing to do with the ways Obama's screwed up so far.

He's not your pet idiot: he's an idiot. You only look as stupid as he does if you justify his idiocy with another idiot.

And asked if he knew The Constitution was written in 1787 not 1776, but I expect that to be deleted since it's "under moderation"

Hahahaha, the thing is most of the folks who received that letter don't know the difference between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, so the irony will be lost on them. But I enjoyed it thanks!

1776 was orchestrated by a group of people who obviously had principles: otherwise they would have stayed home. It took awhile to get to the Constitution, but is that reprehensible? disigny

So the 1776 theme makes sense. Still, it's obvious that it shouldn't have emphasized the Constitution and maybe talked about "freedom" and "independence" and whatnot.

Of course, an appeal saying that Democrats are working hard to undermine the country, sell out to China, etc. would still have been total crap.

I am so sick of all this pandering to the "let's return to the principles of our founding fathers" crap. When people pull out this tripe, they conveniently ignore the sad fact that our beloved founders saw fit to disenfranchise women and enslave Africans and their descendants. So excuse me if I have a somewhat-less reverent view of the FF. I happen to prefer the 2009 version of the Constitution.

This has nothing to do with the ways Obama's screwed up so far.

Obama lied as fast and hard as Bush ever did.

He sets the example- therefore, he is to be held to a higher standard than dumbshit DeMint.

Obama frivolously projected thousands of meaningless words to get himself elected. He is no worse or better than his predecessors but one thing is clear- he built his empire on promises of transparency that are not occurring and, likely, never will.

THIS is an enormous disservice to truth and his personal character WHICH will impact the future of how this country is governed.

To lessen criticism for the sake of ideology is to serve oneself rotgut in a glass of lukewarm self-righteousness.
