I don't think the country is ready to elect a Democrat president.
I, of course, am but I'm concerned that the country is not yet ready to accept a living wage, civil liberties and affordable health care.

If we are too rash the republicans may retaliate by rushing us into an unprovoked war or set up detention camps on some island in the Caribbean. Unless we keep our heads, the corporations may shift thousands of jobs overseas and the government may impose draconian travel restrictions. The country is not ready to remove its socks at airports. First we must struggle to recover our right to wear shoes. I have emailed our Speaker on exactly this point.

So please think long and hard, friends, before we rush into this business of selecting our nominee. The country needs a pasty heterosexual man Democrat to soothe our countrymen and countrywomen and allay their fears before we take the next step toward meaningful change.

:patriot:

20. You're free to vote for the pasty Democrat man of your choice.
And you're most very welcome.

11. Yes it is
Our country is more than ready to elect a Democratic, black or female president.

We've had it with Chimpy and his minions. Absolutely had it.

13. As soon as they get rid of the electorial college we will be able to listen to your wit.
As of yet that little fascist pig they have in there now was never even installed under any popular consent.

I just never could understand why people locked into a room full of horse-shit would be looking for a pony :shrug:

28. We'll have to agree to disagree
The OP is an astringently funny take on what a screwy country we are, and how screwy some of the recent posts here have been. If it's anything but supremely, surgically, sarcastically snarktastic, well then, I reckon I just don't know much about much.

26. I like soup!
Back in my day, we made the Haitians bring us soup. They didn't mind too much because we tipped well.
