certainly understand some bizarre politicians along the way, but the concerning problem is those voting these creeps into office. I don't think he's dumb at all, but rather his belief system IMO is pretty F'ed up ... and he will also cave into anything to appease the baggers and people that supply his gravy train.

... from Fox and scripted dramas (one in the same, in truth) they're gonna vote stupidly. Hell, all you have to do is watch one of those "Man on the street" segments like Leno does from time to time, and then remind yourself that those ignorant twits may well find themselves in a voting booth one day.
No, Boehner knows EXACTLY what he's saying. It's been scripted by his owners. Owners like the outfit who's tank leaked those chemicals.

seen in this country. In my cross country travels I've been in some hotel/motel breakfast areas in the morning where the patrons are hypnotized watching the crap.

I know, I sound on the edge saying this, but it was like they were in a trance. Just watching and nodding. It is creepy to say the least. I swear, if they had been told to walk off the nearest cliff or walk into the freeway they would have all gotten up and followed orders.

Yeah, I think you're correct about Boner.

President Obama made a time machine when he was two and went back in time to orchestrate the Salem Witch Trials. It's true. I read it on Breitfart.

It's Obama's fault there was no inspection since 1991. 1991 was THREE PRESIDENTIAL ADMINISTRATIONS PRIOR TO OBAMA!

Do they even listen to what they say in public anymore?

The media won't call him out about it, and the sheeple will suck it up. I am not at work this week, but I know my co-workers are blaming Obama for the spill.

talking about the A Rod situation, I heard the phrase "there aren't any saints in a whorehouse". Congress immediately came to mind.
