I'm sure everybody's opinion would be the same if Obama had made a joke about wishing to dispose of domestic political enemies.

So its your opinion that conservatives would see the humor if Obama made this statement?

I don't care that much about this statement, but good grief this board is delusional when it comes to convincing themselves they are more rational than the other side.

Rand Paul is growing on me. He's still a little off on a few issues but he seems more and more like a possible leader I could get on board with.

He seems to have a lot less "politician" in him than most at that level if that makes any sense.

"The Left" = tweets?

Keep linking Glenn Beck and then calling out folks who link left wing sites.

What makes tweeters any more relevant that politards? Nuttin

No matter what a GOP candidate says,the Dems and their Media lapdogs are going to twist it. Their goal IMO is to force a Republican into silence.
They want Hillary to cruise through the campaign fielding softball questions and make this a coronation.
Dole,McCain,and Romney let themselves be cowed and lost. Why worry about what the Dems and the media whine about and why let them dictate how the campaign is to go? No matter what,ATTACK.
Like I said in an earlier post, going negative WORKS. No matter what the opposition says or does,
go on and stay on the attack. The Dems do it and apologize for NOTHING. If you want to keep Cankles out of the White House, make her actually have to campaign.

Of course they would. This board is one of the least self-aware bunches I've ever seen.

Actually, I didn't find Rand's comment especially funny, from a humor standpoint. So if Obama made the same crack, I'd likely shrug that one off, as well.

Funny or not, I bet there are many that would truly make the deal, especially Nancy.

PS - At least Rand Paul is fairly witty. Obama couldn't improvise a good joke to save his life.


The Between Two Ferns video was actually pretty funny.

Why does everything on this board turn into a "the other party does it, too", "If ______ had said that then ________", "Why can _____ say _____ but if I say _______, then _______" shitfest. Can we discuss anything, laugh at anything, ignore anything, forget anything? Damn, I thought it was bad the last 2 years of the other suckass president.
