  10. On a more serious note, primary season — which has already started — is bound to divide us. I had the idea that instead of trying to fight it, we could embrace it. Make a game out of it, that we restrict to the playing field of the political threads. One where we take our passion and put it into a creative non-insult, so that the rest of the comment can be reasoned. Something like this:

    Smitty, you moldy old lawn chair, Cruz isn’t a viable candidate because of his smug-looking face.

    Daniel, you dirty old catalytic converter, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Also, he is right on policy and a leader on bucking the squishy RINO establishment.

    What do you think? Am I crazy? On to something? Third option?

  13. Sure, he’s a smart guy. And, I don’t say provocative things expecting agreement; that would be silly.

    At the same time, I only say what I mean, and I chafe under the notion that I’m going to have to toe some sub-sub-party line to get along here for the NEXT EFFING YEAR.

    In another thread, we’ve already had another commenter called a troll for expressing a calm, reasoned dissent. I’m not even going to always meet that standard, so what does that make me?

    I’m looking into the future, not liking what I see, and trying to get ahead of it.

  15. Maybe I can flip your point around and say that we take the principles upon which the country is founded SERIOUSLY,
    but the candidates and ourselves: not so much.

  16. Cruz hasn’t, I far as I can tell, gone all squishy on the issues of gay marriage and abortion as Walker seems to have done…

  17. There are rumors her campaign is buying Russel Stover so she can have a god supply so she can buy the Womyn vote.

  18. You do know that there are only three people here you actually have to worry about pissing off right? All three of them are rather forbearing. As for someone calling you a troll, I’m sure a bright young guy like yourself can find a gif. of someone flying the one finger peace sign.

  19. I keep scratch marks on my desk for every time I’m accused of being 1) a liberal 2) a tea bagger 3) a troll.

  21. It’s been kind of fun watching the squishier Republicans tie themselves into knots trying to portray anything Cruz has said as being radical or somehow not what they want.

    It’s kind of like they won a shiny new Gulfstream G650 and are going through the pretense that the tires aren’t the really good ones and the paint job is not exciting.

  23. Only if the main requirement for participating in the debate is to roll up your own set of wacktastic insults. If more people called each other moldy lawn chairs and catalytic converters, the world would be a far better place.

  24. Camp Pain. What a perfect name for the adult summer camps Hitlery was championing last week. Gee, where does one go to register?

  25. Smitty, I can’t remember the last time I saw someone put that many references together that poetically with as few words. I am in awe.
