a friend of mine the other day… let’s see. I sent him a link about how bumblefuck was whining again like a little bitch about all the shit he’d “inherited.”
And my friend said… let me remember this right.
He said… I don’t give a shit I’ll still vote for him if Republicans keep acting like retards.
I thought the if part was a kinda hopeful sign. Not super extremely hopeful. But a little.
The point is most of them know he’s not a winner but they think Team R is worse.
The lynchpin for what support bumble retains is still Jon Stewart and the Jon Stewart mentality I think. Not necessarily with my friend but in general.
We can distinguish the 56% into 20% confirmed retards and 33% considering whether to make themselves confirmed retards, can’t we?
Retards to the left of me, RAAACISTS! to the right.
He said… I don’t give a shit I’ll still vote for him if Republicans keep acting like retards.
He’s lying to you. He’ll just stay home on election day.
No. The polls are closed, I’m afraid.
To the unthinking government + status quo = God crowd, this makes nothing but sense.
no his girlfriend fiance person is still a true blue Obama fan I think … she’s persuasive plus I don’t think not voting’s an option plus there’s other stuff he’d want to go to the polls for
he’s a smart guy and if Team R hadn’t worked so hard to alienate him he’d be much more open to voting for them
I’m like a thousand percent more likely to stay home on election day than he is.
Fox has it the other way around, and he’s just about to go underwater on Intrade.
Seriously, what does he run on? What does he have to sell? It ain’t hope and change.
The lynchpin for what support bumble retains is still Jon Stewart and the Jon Stewart mentality I think. Not necessarily with my friend but in general.
That mentality is Commiecrat at its core, even though it pretends to be independent.
he’s a smart guy and if Team R hadn’t worked so hard to alienate him he’d be much more open to voting for them
And how exactly did they alienate him? By telling him that no, he can’t put anything in his mouth, lungs, veins, or anus without consequences? I think the answer here is yes.
The “I’m a fiscal conservative but…” myth dies hard.
What does he have to sell?
If you and I have anything left to our names next year, then that’s what he’ll sell.
“Vote for me, and I’ll give you Squid & Pablo’s stuff!”
Don’t they think tasty Skittles shoot out of his shiny black ass? ‘Course, he ain’t selling ’em since they’re all free, free! he tells ya.
It’s California, Curmudgeon. They’re not like regular people.
Earlier, there was a self-described Cali Conservative at Althouse’s place who couldn’t see what was so wrong with the State running a Braille library. Because blind people sharing books is exactly the sort of thing that requires a state bureaucracy!
If that’s what passes for conservative over there, it’s little wonder they’re so fucked.
‘Course, he ain’t selling ‘em since they’re all free, free! he tells ya.
Ain’t nuthin’ for free. You gotsta vote the right way.
He said… I don’t give a shit I’ll still vote for him if Republicans keep acting like retards.
he’s a smart guy
That’s a credibility killer, right there happy.
…because he sounds like a fucking jagoff idiot who needs to grow a dick and think for himself.
It’s California, Curmudgeon. They’re not like regular people.
Tell me about it; I live here. I sometimes wonder if it were not for my American Gothic midwest transplant parents, I would have ended up a dupe too.
But the “social issues” increasingly have fiscal impacts, and hf increasingly will have to make a real choice. I lived through Ah-nold’s bait-and-switch. In many respects, like eco-fiendishness, he out-commied the Watermelon Commiecrats.
no my friend is in chicago what I was talking to, and I’m a texas pikachu not a california pikachu
I’m a go back to visit in November cause of my sister is gonna marry that guy and I’m very excited
about kicking around texas for… I can’t remember how many days I booked
no Mr. al he’s really smart and funny he’s just young and he was steeped in Bush-hate in his formative years plus he’s from Chicago so there’s maybe a certain home-town pride thing with bumblefuck and plus when he looked at Team R the past couple years all they show him is Bachmann and Palin and Romney, which, they don’t speak to him at all they don’t even try
and it’s not like I can really anticipate saying hey here vote for Perry instead of bumblefuck he has many positive attributes
Team R is just resolutely not putting their best foot forward these days
Yeah, well those retards think Obama’s gonna buy their gas. And before you say, “But LMC, retards don’t drive.” I will point all of you to PA, NY, MA, NJ and Ohio. But especially Ohio. GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE LEFT LANE OHIO! I am trying to pass you in my Korean minivan, not a single piece of which was made in this country. Which means, not only will it not break down, but it’s also BETTER AT FUCKING MATH AND CAN READ THE NUMBERS ON THE SIGNS YOU FUCKING RETARDS!
So your friend would be happy to vote for a Republican if he or she were a Democrat.
Yeah. Sounds like a frickin’ genius.
all they show him is Bachmann and Palin and Romney, which, they don’t speak to him at all they don’t even try
Which of these three is not like the others?
But frankly, NOTHING would speak to this New Urbanist hipster “Stuff Leftist White People” Like guy. Not even Milquetoast Mitt.
But the “social issues” have fiscal impacts.
–“Gay Rights” has become a Left tool for imposing tyranny over people and indoctrinating children in New New Left Commiecrat thought.
–“More Parklands and Wilderness” has become a Left tool for property seizure, reducing people’s mobility, and destroying economic freedom in general.
–“Feministing” is simply another Left tool to tear families apart and make the resulting atomized children (and adults) wards of the State, or at least less likely to resist it.
Need I also mention the Food Police and the anti-Tobbacco jihads? Or the spread of STD’s on public health, making socialized medicine more necessary?
Sorry, one can’t just stick anything in one’s mouth or up one’s vag or butthole without consequences.
no I think the point is more that Team R is too insecure about its base to have a conversation with normal people
Team R is just resolutely not putting their best foot forward these days
Three legs of a stool, fiscal, military, and social. No leg can get too long, but those of you who want to shorten one leg are simply going to fall off your Protein Wisdom Pub barstool and hit the floor hard.
no I think the point is more that happyfeet’s friends are too weak to accept harsh truths and so they’ll just stick with the comforting lies and cupcakes
“Normal people” who hate Bush with a passion, and are put off terribly by Bachmann and Palin’s call to shrink federal government, invigorate the private sector, reduce spending, and get entitlements under control.
In other words, leftists. Who’d vote for Republicans if they weren’t so insane. Defined as non-leftist.
Frickin’ genius.
no I think the point is more that Team R is too insecure about its base to have a conversation with normal people
Seeling them out tends to do that. And you reccommend more selling out?
Typo unintentional, but perhaps our fate is being “Seeled” too.
Mr. Squid that’s a silly thing to say about someone you never met your whole life
the harsh truth I think is that Team R is busily assembling a spectacular parade of cartoons in lieu of lining up candidates for the presidency

Vetting processes need improvement. But so what? I would prefer real primaries over coronation / anointing ceremonies.
Did you get an Skittles? I didn’t see any Skittles. Nobody I know got Skittles. Bitch ain’t got no Skittles. I’ll bet he doesn’t even have a unicorn.
Nope not a one, nor an any neither. Got me a country in failmode though, if that’s supposed to count.
happyfeet complaining about someone else dissing a person they’ve never met? Pricelss!
You’re friend/future brother-in-law (if I’m following you) is part of Codevilla’s ruling class (aka Lebedoff’s new elite, Sowell’s annointed, Burnham’s managerial class). In other words, he’s a Progressive (Square Deal, Bull Moose, New Deal New Frontier, Great Society, the subspecies doesn’t matter) and thus part of the problem.
Also he’s too much under the thumb of your sister. As are you.
no my professional and educated friend in Chicago is separate from my sister’s very working class hunny bunny in Texas
Seriously, what does he run on? What does he have to sell? It ain’t hope and change.
1) Killing bin Laden
2) We’ve got to finish what we started
3) Republicans are going to let women and children starve
anything else? That’s all I can think of
Oh, right
4) TEA PARTY TERRORISTS.
Someone said the other day that ‘bama’s use the Tea Party as his foil this time around instead of Bush.
My mistake in trying to make sense of your prattle then.

Stuff Liberal White People Like.
Yeah Curmudgeon, I think I know what you mean. Trying to follow pickachu logic makes me begin to doubt that “false consciousness” is utter bullshit.
Let’s go back to the whole “normal people” thing. You know, the ones what get scared off by the cartoon republicans.
What are these “normal people” like, happy? Do they drink coffee brewed at home, or Dunkin Donuts, or Starbucks, or the little independent roaster what sneers at Starbucks? Do they have the skills and temperament to swap out the guts from a toilet what won’t stop running? Do they max out their 401(k) contributions? Do they even have a 401(k)? Do they volunteer to coach Little League, or throw money in the collection plate at church* every week? Do they watch football? NASCAR? Glee?
What are “normal people” like in your world, happy? Do tell.
* Yes, I said it. Church. Church! It’s not a dirty word.
no my professional and educated friend in Chicago is separate from my sister’s very working class hunny bunny in Texas
Also he’s too much under the thumb of your sister. As are you.
Is Redneck Femdom part of Stuff Urban Liberal White Men Like?
Do they max out their 401(k) contributions?
I would if I could, but I am trying to maintain my underwater mortgage.
Sounds like you’re the sort of “normal person” I hang around with, Curmudgeon. Except you didn’t tell me whether you prefer skim or soy in your half-caff latte. If you’re one of those soymilk bastards, well, you’re dead to me.
my friend D is a huge fan of Dunkin we both want to own stock but he has no investable cash cause of the wedding and me I worked it to where all my cash was in the 401k and I decided to sit tight with my own for reals monies cause of all I had was gains and I didn’t want to raise cash and have to pay bonus tax monies to bumblefuck and the state of California
I max out my 401k I don’t think he does yet, cause of the wedding, but he more than gets his match I’m sure
he’s a good catholic but I don’t know how often he goes to church… he’s very handy they hung their own blinds but they rent so there’s not a whole lot of handiwork to be done… me I’m a good lutheran but I don’t go to church here in LA and I do some stuff like hanging blinds and such but I’ll be happy to pay someone to mount the big screen and all when I get that but probably not for awhile cause I bought a car for a friend of mine which came from the tv money account so next year is gonna be very austere around casa happyfeet
I don’t know what they watch on tv I know they like baseball a lot and me I only watch free shit cause a.) it’s plentiful and b.) I don’t have cable cause of I don’t want to support time warner cause of they’re a greasy socialist obamawhore company
I really wonder if a big screen is a sensible purchase but it’s more for company
In Barak Obama’s America taking personal responsibility while meeting your obligations to the best of your ability and expecting everyone else to do the same means you’re retarded.
* Yes, I said it. Church. Church! It’s not a dirty word.
And there you have it. Those who are not frightened by the word will vote Patriot, even if they never go. Those who are frightened by the word, *never* will, no matter how much they profess to like business and to be unhappy with the big government thingy.
See also border control and ownership of firearms.
also I assembled these giant storage things from lowes I had to use powertools! One of them is filled wif like 12 cases of bottled water for in case the terrorists fuck with our water supply like how drudge was warning about
I’m hesitant to put more water out there cause at some point it’ll get kinda heavy
I’m a texas pikachu not a california pikachu
(…)
I didn’t want to raise cash and have to pay bonus tax monies to bumblefuck and the state of California
???
I live in california Mr. Curmudgeon but I’m a texas person at heart and I’m not invested in California at all it’s just a paycheck mostly and some neat restaurants and cool stuff to see and do sometimes and people like to come visit me here
How long have you been living here, HF?
I am reminded of a song.
I am a redneck at heart, but have lived in Cali all my life.
I been here since like 2000
hah awesome song
makes me begin to doubt that “false consciousness” is utter bullshit.
False consciousness is quite real, but it is exactly the opposite of what the Left claims. Who’s Afraid Of The Religious Right?
Anyway, greetings from Sacramento. Like Michael Savage (not a native but a long time resident) I share the frustration of seeing what was once arguably the best place on earth turning into shit.
And that happened largely because of a Left that thought they could make EcoFagMulticultitopia, and a Right that thought they could ignore or appease the Left as long as the bottom line remained good. Well, “social issues” ahve bottom line impacts after all. The end of the Cold War didn’t help either.
greetings! Plus we’re way way overdue for a big shaky shaky
I take it you are down in La La Land. As for a quakey, naw. We had a big one North in 1989 and a big one South in 1994. Every 100 years on average we get a big one, so we have time.
We are in for a big urban riot or financial collapse however.
yes I just got a new place in North Hollywood in what they optimistically call the “arts district”
oh. I still worry about the shaky shaky to where lots of the good dishes I never unpacked
We are in for a big urban riot or financial collapse however.
Yep. Chances are we’ll have retired state employees rioting in the streets when the state goes broke and the pension checks stop coming long before we get The Big One.
The worrisome thing about those rioting retirees is that rather than just the elderly folks that come to mind when you hear “retiree”, CA will have a lot of 50-something ex-police and firefighters wanting the free shit they were promised.
faster please
oh. I still worry about the shaky shaky to where lots of the good dishes I never unpacked
Quakehold!
It’s like they were glued to that shelf…
… and prison guards.
#61 is for #58, not #60
Back when I was at Pendleton, they called North Hollywood the “gang district,” I believe…
OK, it wasn’t South-Central, but it wasn’t Costa Mesa, either.
yes North Hollywood is very crimey it’s famous for this but I live on the very corner edge nestled up to Toluca Lake and Studio City
still it’s crimey here cause there’s a lot of section 8 nearby
I’m a texas person at heart and I’m not invested in California at all it’s just a paycheck mostly…
Then call me confuzzled, because I got the distinct impression from numerous postings that you are reveling in the whole “West LA / Hollywood / Trendy People & Places” lifestyle, while regularly turning your nose up at the godbotherin’, abortion-hatin’, non-Gay-Marriage-supportin’ hillbilly types that seem to inhabit large swathes of Texas and the Midwest these days.
Or when you say “Texas” do you mean Austin?
#65: Bingo. The Rule of Law and free enterprise is on a collision course with the Rule of The Anus and socialism.
I love america apart from the socialisms this is still an interesting and storied part of america with lots to see and taste and do and discover I love texas too there’s lots to see and taste and do and discover there too if I could go anywheres right now it would probably be atlanta though
but i has entanglements
there’s lots to see and taste and do and discover
And yet you can do all that without hooting in derision at all the churchy lifeydoodles who are disinclined to put on a rainbow T-shirt and join the Let-Ted-Marry-Bob parade.
Which you do. Frequently. With much hooting and even more derision.
I don’t hoot at the bigots I just get a little impatient
I don’t hoot at the bigots I just get a little impatient
Sure… just like Obama and the Democrats have gotten “a little impatient” with the Tea party. Same exact thing.
I don’t hoot at the bigots I just get a little impatient
I knew a statement like this would come out sooner or later.
We don’t care about private lives, but we do care about public policy.
It’s not that they are “lavender”, it is that they are Reds and Pinkoes.
If enough of them were like J. Edgar Hoover and Roy Cohn (Amerca’s first gay patriots?) they might redeem themselves. But they are not.
All the Pinhead has to do is switch to his Barry Soetoro ID and run on a blame Obama campaign.
Another landslide.
Genius B. Moe!
Except for the part about Barry Soetoro being a foreign citizen.
If I could be God for a day, I’d decree that:
I would not be a merciful God. I’ve come to terms with that about myself.
If that’s so why was McCain the nominee in 2008? Why is Team R pushing Mitt Romneycare for 2012?
Team R’s problem is it isn’t insecure enough about its base.
“There are some in Congress right now who would rather see their opponents lose than see America win.”
Link
There are some in the White House as well. Hypocritical Jerk.
Democrats are always confusing the general good with the good for Democrats, what with the political being personal and all.
What feets hasn’t figured out is that if he went back to Texas and spouted 10% of the crap he has here there’d be a line to shoot him.
“Staunch conservative Texan” my ass.
if some hick in texas is gonna shoot somebody the odds overwhelmingly favor it being another hick
Yeah, I’m thinking the pika is from Austin.
if I moved back i’d move to Austin yes that’s where I did grad school and I love it very much but no that’s not where I’m from i’m from more souther than that – the whole area is awesome you could hardly keep me in town on the weekends when I was living there
