Why I'm With Mary
Posted on 11/9/14 at 9:58 pm
Posted on 11/9/14 at 9:58 pm
Despite earlier posts to the contrary, I’ve changed my mind about Mary Landrieu and with my entire stance on why I don’t believe in voting anymore. It’s time I, and the rest of you, stand with Mary and stand with Louisiana.
I support Mary Landrieu because…
Because when it comes to markets and economics, Mary is dead on. Who cares about the value of the dollar? Also, everyone knows that throwing money at a problem is the best way to solve it and I respect that.
The US govt. doesn’t receive nearly enough in taxes and I won’t sleep until we get more. What’s the big deal? We’re spending it wisely.
Besides, our military is too small and needs more funding or we’ll be at risk due to everyone else’s jealousy of our freedom.
Stimulus-led recovery > market-led recovery
Violent crime is bad, but that crime is much worse when the victim has a different skin color or doesn’t have a penis.
Mary also understands that free speech is unnecessary in modern society and that flag burning is a form of expression that cannot be allowed because things that we don’t agree with should be banned.
Let’s also not forget that your business is OUR business and you don’t deserve privacy.
Good government picks winner and losers, and your gender or race should determine how much money you do or do not receive.
And don’t you dare talk bad about censorship. Government censorship is vital because parents cannot decide what is best for their children, only govt. can.
I’m not xenophobic, but the market can never decide which languages are best for us. And because America is owned by England, we should make sure that their language is our official language.
We’re never going to treat drugs as a medical problem, but we will always treat them as a way to give cops more power and money. I even have a problem with tobacco use. frick Amsterdam and Portugal, we need to execute people who have a certain amount of drugs like the other world-leading countries with those laws on the books (Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, North Korea, Oman, Qatar, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Syria, Sudan, and the UAE).
In case you haven’t heard, Mary loves cops and so do I, and God only knows the only problem with America’s police is their lack of funding and militarization.
Bill Cassidy supports medical marijuana! Hasn’t anyone ever thought of the children??

Have you seen our public schools? Apathetic parents, lack of discipline, mixed priorities, broken homes with single parents, etc. don’t really have that much effect on the students in failing schools. The problem is that the money taken via taxes, which is always utilized efficiently, wasn’t enough and those kids can only succeed if we throw more money at them. With easier, broader standardized testing and a computer in every backpack, our education problems will go out of the window.
Thank you, Mary, for protecting us from everyone but the American government, the only group of people who has our back. And to be honest, we can’t even trust each other-—hence the reasoning for eradicating privacy.
Thomas Jefferson was a total tool and all that shite about tangling alliances is archaic, at best. We need to join as many groups as possible, even if they are full of people who don’t have our best interests at heart. Whatever it takes to get closer to that one-size-fits-world government we so desperately need.
18 trillion in debt is nothing! Chicken feed. We aren’t really in debt. Our economy and future is bright. It’s time we start sharing with governments that support terrorism and have despicable records on abuse and human rights. After all, we must ask ourselves everyday “What Would Israel Do?”
For those who haven’t heard of the IMF, here’s a tl;dr for ya’: They’re the bees’ knees!
Mary will have anyone killed for world peace. We all know the path to prosperity is paved by wars.
Mary’s use of charter flights and “waste” of thousands in taxpayers money is simply a bookkeeping error. LINK
Anderson Cooper was way out of line for calling out Mary for her lack of empathy for the people of New Orleans and for her political circle-jerk amidst the ordeal: LINK
When Mary came to Baton Rouge from her home in DC to tailgate with some washed-up fratstars, closer to the age of 30 than 21, trying to relive their glory days, I knew it must not be election season because she doesn’t pull political stunts on inebriated Chad’s. Mary has always considered herself one of the people and a lifelong Tiger fan. I've seen her at every single game I’ve gone to. She’s a public servant. After all, what else would you call someone who has never held a job in the private sector? Those trying to paint her as a fraud must have missed her completely organic, coincidental appearance at Southern to perform “the wobble”, like she has dozens of times before. LINK
Hate to break it to you, but Mary is one of us. Cassidy should be embarrassed for wasting so much money to live around the rich people on the LSU lakes. You think Mary would do that? Hell no, baw. She’s still roughing it in her $2.5 million, 5-bath shack while calling out Cassidy. Bill's the worst. LINK
My only complaint of Mary has been her unfair criticism of Barack Obama. She said he’s been a 6 or 7 out of 10. We all know he’s been somewhere above an eleven. LINK
Luckily she has stood tall against adversity to fight for what is right… Obamacare!
“If I had to vote for the bill again, I would vote for it tomorrow” – Mary Landrieu
“[While those individuals who like the coverage they already have will be able to keep their current plan] this is a very accurate description of this bill… it’s very accurate” LINK
I don’t use strawman fallacies. I don’t use ad hom. I only use the facts, Jack. The fact is that Mary and I agree that we are sick of Louisiana being ranked #49 in everything that matters; granted I think we should aim higher for a place next to New Hampshire or Alaska and when she said it she meant we should finally knock out Mississippi for our destined spot at #50. But the details don’t really matter. The lone truth this election is that I’m With Mary. The good news is that if you’re also economically inept, love war, and think civil liberties are stupid buzzwords for stoners, then you can hop on this pain-train too! Yes We Can!
quote:Mary doesn’t stand with Louisiana’s oil business because she needs votes. She does it because she supports America’s energy independence.
Voted YES on additional $10.2B for federal education & HHS projects. (Oct 2007)
Voted YES on $52M for "21st century community learning centers". (Oct 2005)
Voted YES on $5B for grants to local educational agencies. (Oct 2005)
Voted YES on shifting $11B from corporate tax loopholes to education. (Mar 2005)
Voted NO on allowing more flexibility in federal school rules. (Mar 1999)
quote:Everyone knows that being pro-business and pro-free-trade means supporting sanctions… even Rand Paul knows that. Also, both parties know that war with Iran is inevitable and we will not sleep soundly until we have started that decade+ long war on a lie for reasons completely unrelated to national security.
Voted against allowing exploration in oil shale in Colorado. (Aug 2008)
Voted YES on reducing oil usage by 40% by 2025 (instead of 5%). (Jun 2005)

That's pretty awesome. You know, I've been thinking about dropping out of society. But, like, not too far as to miss out of government check opportunities. I need to know the leadership in Washington won't end up letting me down if I decide to be a useless layabout.

For the past year I've had the same bedtime routine: brush teeth, put in retainer, turn out bathroom lights, say "Elizabeth Warren" three times, hoping her face will appear. For some reason, she hasn't shown up yet. I'm assuming she's still riding her wild mustang across her reservation in Virgina, teaching the rest of the tribe about the merits of Keynesianism and the despicable nature of hypocrisy and lying in order to gain something you covet.
