Go look at my Twitter feed (@proteinwisdom) and review my “conversation” with this dude.
It’s a fascinating microcosm of battle over where we stand on the right.
Those of us who are actually there, I mean. And that’s kind of the point, isn’t it?
Anyway, it ends with me getting unfollowed and blocked and told to fuck off. If that kind of thing excites you.
Wayne resists! . . .
. . . thinking. Must not be done.
Maybe Twitter isn’t the best forum for such discussions. Not sure why you waste time engaging with folks like Wayne (no relation).
He engaged me, Charles. Showed up in my feed lecturing me on how to be a good and proper Republican.
Fuck that. I engage people like that douche so that others might see that they can and should be engaged.
Wayne is a chucklehead
poor mittens: given a chance to take on big edu and student loan/ indenture servitude he wiffs.
Live in Wayne’s world!? No way!
According to his twitter header this dude fancies himself a libertarian.
I am telling you the stupid is too widespread. It’s over.
You gotta love lecturers that have such a solid grasp of the material that they must end with “F*ck you!” when questioned.
I read this three times just to make sure I wasn’t imagining it. My fucking eyes are bleeding. This guy is supposed to be on the side of ‘right and light’? If this is a gung ho representative of ‘the party’, then the party is in far worse shape than even I believed.
And he’s “followed by Ann Coulter”. Is that supposed to cause an awe induced hush? A magic talisman that proves his superiority and his credentials as a member of the in crowd?
Wow. Just fucking wow.
I engage people like that douche so that others might see that they can and should be engaged.
Not only because it shows that pushback is possible, but also because there could be an onlooker who gets a clue. It’s not beyond the realm of possibility that Wayne bitches about the Protein Douchebag to his buddy over a pitcher of yellow beer, and for his bro to say, “Yeah, sure, Wayne, that Jeff dude’s a total asshole, but that doesn’t mean we have to be happy to cheer for Mitt.”
What? You never know!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TEAM R!
The question is who backs more GOP principles? O or R? That, at the base, is the only question worth asking.
Because we all know the ‘rats never play the “Republicans did it too” card.
Wayne is not bright.
Read an article this morning about a survey that claims to show that republicans are “more open minded and better informed ” than democrats.
This guy is every bit as narrow minded, lock step and fanatical as any leftist. Same tactics. Can’t engage Jeff in an intelligent discussion and come up with counter points and arguments? Well then,
“Fuck You!”.
Although it must have been hard for Jeff to be banished by “The Waynester”.
Wow. Wayne is clearly his own hero. He’s got a country to save! LOL! By voting for yet another cowardly fucking centrist weathervane fake. One step forward and two steps back! You go Wayne! You leader you! No time for losers eh Wayne? You got big time shoes to fill! You’re talkin’ shit to power! And power knows it.
Sure. Let the nonexistent, severely conservative, but not TOO conservative, theocrat fighting, Derb tossing, vainglorious, protean, chameleonic, GOP establishment types piss on our heads and tell us it’s raining. Again. Let them take us back to 2008 chasing disinterested flailing independents who think you are a KKK grand wizard because that’s that people say.
We promise to try to believe that bullshit and forget about 2010, Wayne.
Except we can’t. “Inevitable” right Wayne? “Big tent
right? But at the same time, “out out damned right wing extremists, go away kid ya bother me! “. And yet do your part and vote for Romney because clearly you owe it to the people who’ve screwed the whole party over. Obama was such a dire threat tot he country that the GOP establishment used him as an excuse to screw their own base and try to get back to business as usual.
Slogans and oaths are forged of mere wind Wayne. I hope Romney gets the chance to let you down and when you complain, he will tell you to shut up because you are a shrill wingnut who should be seen and not heard and then only on election day. It will be a teachable moment for you Wayne, assuming that you are teachable?
Some people are star fuckers. Wayne is more of an asteroid fucker. That’s like a star fucker only on a dollar store budget.
Shut up! Can’t you see that Wayne Austin is carrying on a very important conversation with David Limbaugh? The primary is over! Martial law people!
In other news, Bill Ayers wrote Dreams from My Father.
You can file it under Slips, Freudian.
Obama was such a dire threat tot he country that the GOP establishment used him as an excuse to screw their own base and try to get back to business as usual.
That would be one of the reasons I’m not voting for Romney, and wouldn’t vote for him even if I lived in a swing state.
Just get Obama out and stage protests on the level of the ObamaCare vote for every crapweasel stunt Romney tries to pull.
He may respond positively so give him the chance
I hope Romney gets the chance to let you down and when you complain, he will tell you to shut up because you are a shrill wingnut
He’s already doing it.
of the two major candidates I like Romney (first choice) then Obama in that order
Gleeped off Twitter:
However, that would never happen to us, because we’re Americans and we have guns.
It’s all about importantness. It’s important to put in someone who isn’t Obama and runs as a Republican.
But I’m not a Republican. I personally don’t think ol’ big government Mitt is going to do much of anything to roll back the progressive tide, so maybe it’s better for the country to keep dancing with the one what brung ya instead of waking up in a motel room with a brand new wedding ring, a limp and an IOU sharpied on our inner thigh.
Romney is the end of republicans actually having a point. After Romney they will just be less wild eyed democrats who want to be liked by wild eyed democrats. That probably means a real third party, with a real agenda, at least regionally.
Someone has an anecdote I’d love to hear. I kid, I kid. Just found that to be rather evocative, I suppose. Petals on a wet, black bough sort of thing.
However, that would never happen to us, because we’re Americans and we have guns.
Well, if it was to ever happen the gradual road is the best route to get there. Keep the frogs in the pot, the border porous, and the indoctrination going until the numbers are sufficient to get the guns.
Sorry, but I refuse to twit or tweet, due to the twats out there. Not interested in 140 character flame wars. I don’t think that substantive political thought and analysis can be accomplished with twatting. And why subject yourself to more stress?
I don’t have the patience for twitter. I also don’t have a smartphone, so that may have a lot to do with the patience factor. Also, I don’t find most people’s every thought all that interesting, and I would include my own. So, why share them? I turn off IM on any board I’m on, too because I really don’t care what you ate for breakfast or that the cat yacked on the rug.
And the question is: what did the harelip say on Halloween.
B moe, you just made me yack on the rug.
Wayne Austin. He’s the kind of man who decorates his twitter feed with an animated gif of a cartoon baby driving a Harley-Davidson.
You can smell the testosterone, wafting up from the basement window. It’s either that, or desperation.
the end of republicans actually having a point
I don’t think the leadership has had a point since 1996
Have you noticed it’s always like Lucy and the football with these bastards
Let’s see. Nixon gave us the EPA. Bush 43 gave us DHS. I can’t wait to see what sort of fresh bureaucratic horror will spring forth from Romney’s brows… but that won’t matter. It will be excused as politically necessary because the Democrats woulda done something worse, man!
I’m telling you, if he calls it The Ministry of Love, I’m outta here.
So it takes two attempts to block you but only one to unfollow?
Who cares. Ann Coulter follows him. He’s somebody.
And he doesn’t even realize it’s because he’s a useful idiot.
The useful idiot.
Keep a stiff upper lip, George. Rumor has it Romney is speaking of dismantling federal agencies. The third rail? We’ll see.
He looks like the sort of fellow who enjoys crumbs and really wants some to fall from the table.
And then blocked you? #Winning
Hey! Mitt only stuck it halfway in!!! Plus, you know, white guy, so…
Um… dancing-baby.net
All you need to know is right there.
Keep a stiff upper lip, George. Rumor has it Romney is speaking of dismantling federal agencies
Oh, I know. I’ve heard him say such things in “private” but given the history of Republican presidents, I’m as skeptical as James Randi. It would be a miracle if another Republican preznit didn’t establish yet another monstrous bureaucracy.
Disclaimer: Yeah, I’m voting for the mook. But don’t expect me to like him.
Of course, my vote is useless for Mittens… I’m in Clownifornia.
And what was up with him trying to drag Brit Hume into the conversation? Evidently, Wayne aspires to be an errand-boy to the stars…
I hear ya.
The husband and I were talking about the presidential rumble in the jungle (I denounce myself) and he was angst-ing about Jugears winning another term. I really think that while I dislike the Mittster, I think he’s going to go for the jugular this summer. Think about it this way: Romney has been running for president since he quit being governor and he got thisclose last time before he got beat out by McCoot.
I think Mitt is going to go for it and he’s already done a better job of it than McCain ever did. We’ve been thwacked over the head with the race card so many times that no one even feels it anymore—except the nancy-pantses at NRO.
“Romney’s family had *gasp* polygamists!!”
“Obama’s dad was a polygamist.”
“Romney put his dog in a carrier on the roof of the car!!!”
“Obama eats dogs. Look, right here in his book.”
This could be entertaining at least. Until the cities start burning.
Wayne sucks hairy ballsackz.
Yeah, the fucking primaries are over.
Of course, the 2nd most populous state in the fucking Union hasn’t had its primaries yet but the motherfucking primaries are over.
Not that I’m bitter or anything.
I tweeted the guy to pull his head out of his fourth point of contact. Not that it’ll do any good. I get plenty of shit on my class list for not wanting to vote for Mittens.
leigh, I have no doubt that Mittens really wants to be President.
I just have my doubts about what he’s going to do if he is President.
I just have my doubts about what he’s going to do if he is President.
*sigh* That’s the catch. On the other hand, we DO know what Bumbles did and wants to do. So there’s that.
Texas Democrats are mendoucheous twatwaffles, just like the Democrats in the 49 other states.
Had the donks not delayed the primary by two-and-a-half months because they can’t get over losing every statewide election since 1994, my presidential primary vote might have meant something. For the first time in my life. Bastards, every single one of them.
We should make “Wayne” a verb. Brit Hume got wayned. Maybe make an urban dictionary entry for it. Like mung. Or felch.
Of course, the 2nd most populous state in the fucking Union hasn’t had its primaries yet but the motherfucking primaries are over.
There’s something wrong with a process where my state – Maryland – has more of a say in the Republican nomination than Texas. Had the April and May primaries been switched, this would have been a much different contest.
Oh yeah, Wayne’s an ass. He seems put off by the fact that he has to – GASP – make the case for Romney. For the next 6 months we’re gonna hear nothing except “but he’s not Obama.” What a winning slogan. The thing is, it might actually be enough.
I bet Wayne likes ladies underwear. NTTAWWT.
And naked chicks with Pink Floyd album covers painted on them as wallpaper? I bet he has that in his bathroom.
Bbbbbbbbbut followed by Ann Coulter! Could there be anything dreamier? It’d be like being a young girl of the left & waking up one day to find you’re being followed on twitter by Matt Yglesias.
” Of course, the 2nd most populous state in the fucking Union hasn’t had its primaries yet but the motherfucking primaries are over.”
They haven’t even got the voter registration cards mailed because of the redistricting mess. It’s a clusterfuck. And it had damned well BETTER NOT turn out to be one of those on purpose clusterfucks.
” Oh yeah, Wayne’s an ass. He seems put off by the fact that he has to – GASP – make the case for Romney”
His case for Romney seems to be along the lines of “shut up stupid traitor! #blocked fuck you! ”
I can’t say that line of reasoning arouses me.
His line of “reasoning” is worse than just “he is not Obama”. He goes further and that is where he really goes off the rails, blaming people for an Obama win on those that do not simply do the bidding of Team R, as opposed to Team R not nominating someone one degree to the right of Teh One.
Heh.
he’s already done a better job of it than McCain ever did
that is so true and Obama is never gonna be able to do as well as he did last time because of how he stands revealed for all to see as a disgusting creepy job-raper
I found Trayvon’s & Deedee’s Twitter threads to be more informative and less middle schoolish than Wayne’s Paulbots for Romney feast of block, unblock, follow, unfollow, he’s an idiot, no you’re an idiot mish-mash.
He’s giving blowhards a bad name, that I can’t forgive.
Oh, it’s an on-purpose clusterfuck, no question about it. The Democrats delight in this type of nonsense. Ten years ago when I was living in San Antonio (I live in Lubbock now), the Bexar County Democratic Party refused to coordiante with the Republicans and have all of the precinct voting done jointly at the same locations. All because they were bitter over the outcome of the 2000 presidential election. It was the most fucked-up primary election I’d ever seen.
And it may be happening again. Early voting starts three weeks from now and I still have no voter registration card. And I have to vote early this time, because on May 29 (the day of the primary) I’m going to be overseas, visiting the UK.
HNNG. Did not want to hear that.
It only took me 5 tweets to discombobulate Wayne’s world. But, you’d softened him quite nicely, Jeff G.
Actually, I got my voter registration cards late last week. (I live in a Dallas suburb.)
And Wayne’s a little chickenshit motherfucker.
Which I can say, being a vet and all. The little clot blocked me after I pointed out that he hasn’t had *any* instapundit links.
I don’t get this twitter thing. Wayne shows up in Jeff’s feed, invites himself over as it were, and then when he realizes he’s in waaay over his head, his Parthian shot is “and don’t even try coming over to my place. You’re not welcome!”?
Glad I don’t waste my time twittering
or tweetering
or twattering
whatever it is the cool kids do.
And Obama got this coveted endorsement today.
I respectfully was disagreeing with the third party vote…but after reading the Wisdom of Wayne, maybe things really do have to go completely to shit for any real change to occur.
That Wayne thread made me go the liquor cabinet and pour a four finger tumbler with my Kentucky prescription.
Opinions are one thing, being an asshole about them is quite another.
In that case, I’ll have to give the Lubbock County elections office a call and ask what the delay is.
Ernst, I think there should be a sweet spot between the 140 character twit limit and some of Jeff’s *cough* longer sentence/paragraphs that people can use to get their points across.
I noticed that Serr8d engaged Wayne with about the same effect as my telling my cat what not to do. A waste of time that’s not especially entertaining.
I live in Austin, probably still in Lloyd Doggett’s district, though I spend a lot of my time in San Marcos.
i miss torchy’s there’s really nothing remotely like it here
that I’ve found yet
that is some primo waynage what he done on you head
hah put on your waynfarers you done been wayned
waxed and wayned, mofo!
waynedrops keep falling on you head loser
eff big EDU and billy ayers and baracky and michelle
blockquote>Ms. Romine’s $900-a-month loan payments eat up 60% of the paycheck she earns as a bank teller in Beaufort, S.C., the best job she could get after graduating in 2008. Her fiancé Dean Hawkins, 31, spends 40% of his paycheck on student loans. They each work more than 60 hours a week. He teaches as well as coaches high-school baseball and football teams, studies in a full-time master’s degree program, and moonlights weekends as a server at a restaurant. Ms. Romine, now 26, also works a second job, as a waitress. She is making all her loan payments on time.
They can’t buy a house, visit their families in Ohio as often as they would like or spend money on dates. Plans to marry or have children are on hold, says Ms. Romine. “I’m just looking for some way to manage my finances.”

Jaysus, Wayne is a “libertarian”? Suuuure he is … that’s why he’s doing the Twitter equivalent of sticking his fingers in her ears and screaming “SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP” at any one that dares to criticize Romney – who we all know is the biggest libertarian out there ….
All I know about it RichardCranium is what I read in the comments here.
Of course that was sufficient to realize that wayne will happily take it up the ass as long as you don’t try to give him a reach around, because that’s just gay.
And he doesn’t play for that team.

Ameritopia: The Unmaking of America [
He’s giving blowhards a bad name, that I can’t forgive.
Okay, now that’s funny.
I’m unclear on whether we’re supposed to feel sorry or not for the poor couple, newrouter. Or is it that we’re supposed to hate on Big Student Loan? Or are we to despair over the general state of “woe to us with our serious problems” commentary?
So, hating on Big Student Loan is hating on good government, yes? Because with the exception of one bank in the Dakotas, it is all direct government loans now, and government is a unalloyed good.
When managed by good government servants, of course. Like the ones who worked for Bush and are working for Romney.
The problem George, is I’m not sure if it’s Big Student Loan or Big Livin’ Large on Borrowed Money that’s at fault here.
But then, I don’t know what tuition, books, materials, room & board etc. are running at Kent State for an in-state resident like Ms Romine.
As long as Obama is punished in November, it doesn’t matter to Wayne what Romney does in the WH. Obama gone = social JVSTICE!!!
Wayne needs to check out his own Facebook page more frequently:
But he’s a staunch assertion monkey, at least, and therefore better than
you loty’all.Or amybe all y’all.
And the question is: what did the harelip say on Halloween
I don’t know, but she said, “Would I” at the prom.
‘cmon you guys know that one, right?
LMC, you are an insensitive bastard and must be denounced.
Also, I self-denounce because I do know that one and I laughed.
Well if it makes you feel better, Obama has his own crosses to bear…so to speak.
“This tastes like shit!”
“Yep, it is! Wanna buy a toothbrush?”
St. Peter don’t call me cause I can’t go, I owe my soul to the company store.
I can understand the argument that we should hold our nose and vote for Rockefeller Romney. I can’t understand why we aren’t allowed to bitch about him.
If what we’ve seen of the Romney campaign in recent weeks will continue, then Romney is perfectly capable of defending himself. He shouldn’t need our silence about his defects.
My problem is that I refuse to fall in love or fall in line. Last thing the Establishment needs is a bunch of free thinkers questioning things.
I’d like to explain to Ms. Romine (and those who’d hold her up as some sort of victim) that I chose to attend a (relatively) cheap state university, I busted my ass to earn and keep scholarships, I ate a lot of frozen peas and white rice, I dropped out for two years to refill my coffers after they ran dry, and ultimately graduated with just over three grand in debt.
A year after graduation, my debts were paid off. A year after that, I got married. A year after that, I bought a house. My classmates, who ate out every night and did Spring Break in tropical paradises and drove nice cars and had great apartments? Twenty grand in debt, and five years behind me on the
grimimportant milestones.Who’d have guessed that choices have consequences?
LMC, Darth and Slarti, I just yacked on the rug again at those.
It’s ’cause o’ he’s our Savior, come to save us from our last Savior.
And for the “Wayne-ish” ones on the “other” side….
You went to The Camp, you studied at The Academy, now your reward is here, The Fellowship! Pay? Hey, you will be forgiven, trust in your messiah, would he lie to you?
The courtier mentality amongst the Electronic Republican clique (and those who want to join it) has become irreversible, I’m afraid. Republican (in the small-r sense) virtue is eroding away fast.
The minute you start investing your Presidential candidate with monarchical significance and sovereign immunity to criticism, it’s game over for the Republic.
Romney is running for President, not Emperor. As such, I have the right–no, make that *the responsibility as a free citizen*–to criticize his lame ass whenever the situation warrants. The fact that this is controversial, instead of a truism, demonstrates how far we’ve fallen.
All presidents, and presidential candidate, need to be criticized strongly as needed. None should be immune, every.
The lack of being criticized, ever, is one of our current president’s many problems.
I have the right–no, make that *the responsibility as a free citizen*–to criticize his lame ass whenever the situation warrants.
No, no, no! See, the thing is, you can’t criticize the candidate ’til after he wins the election. The election is too important, you see. It’s one of those “we have to pass it so we can see what’s in it” sort of things.
Hey Wayne, who died and made YOU important? Go and send Tweets to Hugh Hewitt or something. If I’m expected to vote for Romney then I definitely get to criticize him, and if you don’t like well just learn to SUCK IT UP because what you like is of no consequence to me. You’re nothing but another gutless, clueless sucker for the manipulations of worthless dishonest RINOs. Your very reasonable fear of Obama should not be used by the GOP to sink their own party and drag it leftward with the expectation that suckers like you will run out and catch spears and arrows for them. You are being played with. When this election is over those independent voters will STILL hate you and whether Obama or Romney wins so will your president. If the GOP can’t keep on the path of 2010 and want to actually have the nerve to attack the tea party then I don’t owe them ANYTHING because they are fucking useless and part of the problem. They didn’t want my vote so why should they expect it or get it? Fuck ’em.
Wayne is not much different than Patterico’s stable of jurors. The more emphatic they are, the more patriotic they feel.
When the facts are in your favor, pound the facts. Otherwise, kick and scream until the people spouting facts against you SHUT UP ALREADY!
I am also big on relentlessly pounding away with facts.
Maybe not very sexy or elegant as tactics go, but it sure does piss off a lot of people.
Heh. mc4ever59, that tactic is great when arguing with proggs, especially if they start getting mad and losing track of their point.
Leigh, proggs are at the top of my “people I must mess with every chance I get” list.
My favorite part of any argument with a progg is to get them to contradict themselves. You immediately pounce with “but you just said not ten minutes ago…”.
To which they cleverly respond with something along the lines of “AAARGH”‘, and storm off to lick their wounds.
Never fails to make me smile.
This is why Mitt Romney ought to reconsider that whole hair on fire thing, instead of relying on willing useful idiots like that Fox Mulder wannabe Wayne.
Ernst,
Thats assuming Romney doesn’t consider this a win – win event. Wouldn’t it be something if the delegates at the convention pulled a fast one on Obamalite.
Just passing through.. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.. the commentators here on PW are half the show… JG’s writing is excellent but credit where credit is due. You don’t find this quality of commentary too many places on the internet.. Hell, most places you won’t even find people that understand the proper use of “there”, “their” and “they’re”… Bravo.
You’re only saying that because the nightly newrouter/happyfeet circle jerks remind you of your namesake.
