1. Because they are not making any more. But we need the votes it would seem.

4. We don't need those votes.
I have to wonder is this Obama's idea to have Warren at the Inauguration or one of his staffers?

6. makes me wonder ... the Righties try to paint "liberals" as homosexuals and
"baby-killers", who want to abort their fetuses ...

that leaves conservatives for the repopulation of America ... so by that thinking, liberals are the direct result of conservative sex ...

3. The Democrats have no problem throwing everyone else under the bus
Gays, unions, environmentalists, progressives of pretty much any stripe. But somehow, that discourtesy never extends to neo-cons and hatemongering religious nuts. I have to wonder why.

10. Well if they move around and fall off
We can blame any subsequent fires on the religious fundies :)

13. Actually, Nero was right
Despite centuries of Christian propaganda, researchers have found that the Christians were, in large part, responsible for the fires. They were just like today's rapture-ready nutballs and were trying to start the final conflagration that would bring about the end times. They didn't actually start the first fire, but once it started, the Christians made things measurably worse. So, Nero -- while brutal -- wasn't totally wrong in blaming the fires on the Christians.

17. I did not know that
But it doesn't surprise me in the least

I know the fiddling story was made up by the Christians

12. The "democratic" party has no trouble at all throwing liberals under the bus,
labor? under the bus.

anyone with other than a corporatist "free-market" economic view? under the bus.

GLBT community? Under the bus with your whiny asses.

Middle class? Under the bus, quick, before you know what hit you.

When the real shit starts coming down, maybe it will be safe here under the bus. Until then, I think I'll just shut the fuck up and get over it.

19. That's the answer...

Too many people under that bus, already.

They are a better "class" of people, though.

14. It reminds me of a boss I once worked for
Any time there was a dispute that involved me and another employee, he would tell me "Well, you have to handle him/her with kid gloves."

Finally, I asked him when someone would handle me with kid gloves. He had no answer.

15. Why? Because they leave a slippery mess on your tires and on the road
when you squish them.

21. Too many of 'em
And what is it about them that you think they need to go be done away with and how far would you go to be rid of those humans?
And don't you think they want to throw the gays under the bus? So where we are is a stalemate where no progress gets made. Just what the roves' of the world want. Good going, sport.
