Wingnutties out of control!

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Ever since I wrote to some wingnut GOP about some stupid wingnut bullshit they had perpetrated, I've been getting emails from wingnut GOP organizations as if I'm some sort of acolyte or sympathizer or even a wingnut myself. Just the other day I got one trying to sell George W. Bush socks for the holidays. I don't know what to think of it other than that it confirms to me that they truly are wingnuts or else they just assume any communication they receive is of an approving nature. Dubmasses. Actually, if they offered me Dick Cheney toilet paper, I'd probably order some.

Same here. Granted, it was after donating to the Stop The Traitors cause at the Tea Party Leadership Fund.
Eighty-seven — that's the number of Republican traitors, including Speaker Boehner, who collapsed once again under Obama's lame duck presidency....

Yeah, those emails I get are probably the most entertaining stuff in my life; better than most tv shows.

The GOP has evidently succeeded in their effort to let the big banks and stock traders gamble with the economy and the future of the nation by virtue of sneaking in a last minute clause in the current spending bill that will eliminate some of the safeguards put in place after their last fiasco. It makes me wonder if the shit hits the fan again will the dubmasses that vote for these morons against their own best interests will "get it" this time. I sort of doubt it. Supplicant sales manager is probably beaming. This is a bonanza for millionaires and America haters.

The Guardian (Martin Chulov) reported today that in interviewing "Abu Ahmed" the insurgent states "if there were no American prison in Iraq there would be no IS now. Bucca was a factory. It made us all. It built our ideology. We would never have gotten together like this in Baghdad or anywhere else. It would have been too dangerous. There we were safe." Bucca was an American prison camp in southern Iraq. Congratulations, Bush, Cheney, and the other dubmasses responsible for this. The best part is that Cheney and Bush get lifetime pensions paid by us. Supplicant sales manager is beaming.

This was interesting, I made the mistake of visiting CPF out of sheer morbid curiousity.

Apparently they've run out of people to ban, so now they're having a witch hunt and banning their own for not being optimistic enough.

You just keep laughing. Sooner or later anyone from Alex Jones to Tina Fey will hand them a million dollars for the rights to a sitcom based on their forum.

Just read s story about the Texas state legislature is shortly going to be considering a slew of new "gun rights" laws; one is to allow open carry of handguns, another is to prevent Texas towns and cities from infringing on any of the laws the legislature happens to pass with regard to guns.....;but this one was my favorite; it will prevent school systems from punishing kids who happen to make images of guns from their breakfast or lunches (a response to a kid in MD that was disciplined for chewing his pop tart into the shape of a gun). Hilarious.

Someone went through a lot of trouble formatting the contents of the link above. It really shows who the Republicans are serving. :shock:

Of course. You can't make up shit like that.

I read today that Obama intends to re establish diplomatic relations with Cuba. I wonder what sort of bullshit whine the nutjobs will come up with about this.

Those guys and Rubio just can't stand the idea that it's likely to be a very popular move. It's been a stupid US policy from the first, and especially for the last 40 years or so. I've found it particularly heinous that the US would keep Guantanamo there in a country it pretends doesn't exist.

So how about the new market in vintage cars? Boost for the ol' Cuban economy. https://www.google.com/search?q=old+car ... 93&bih=514

Nevermind the cigars and baseball players.

Yeah, I read about Rubio squawking about how we're "supporting a brutal dictatorship" now in Cuba.....guess he forgets how the US does the same thing with Saudi Arabia and how many millions of dollars a day that dictatorship gets from us just from oil. These dubmasses would be against Obama even if he came out with a ten year income tax hiatus for everyone that has more than a million dollars a year income. I just can't believe that these goddam fools are taken seriously......other than the concept of that's what some people want to hear. Hilarious.

I got an email today from Liz Cheney wanting me to buy a Cheney cowboy hat. I would have to think hard about accepting an honorary one, and should I do so, I would only use it to piss in. Thanks, Liz.

Representative Grimm to plead guilty in tax fraud case: source

... Grimm, a Republican, easily won a third term in November despite his indictment in April on charges of fraud, perjury and conspiracy stemming from a Manhattan health food restaurant he formerly co-owned, Healthalicious.

... hiring illegal immigrants at the restaurant, paying staffers under the table and under-reporting how much he had spent in wages by keeping two sets of payroll ledgers.

He was also charged with lying under oath about his practices during a deposition in a federal lawsuit brought by former Healthalicious employees who claimed they were not paid minimum wage.

The indictment followed a probe of Grimm's fundraising. In September, former Grimm fundraiser Diana Durand pleaded guilty to funneling illegal contributions to his 2010 campaign.

Grimm, a former FBI agent ...
Just sent an email to this hypocrite.....I'm starting to enjoy this sort of thing......his grinning visage on his Congressional website will soon be gone. I proceeded to tell him in graphic terms what a hypocrite he is, that I hope he gets twenty years, raised the possibility his mother is a female dog, and ended by suggesting he jump off a balcony. Perhaps I was a little harsh, but I don't think so. Oh, when I send these gems to these bastards I always include my name, email address, and phone number in case any of them wish to discuss it in more detail. So far, no takers.

Criticizing the candidate directly has no effect. He'll run again regardless.

When the party that nominated him, that decided that he was the best choice to win the election, sees the criticism, THEY will have second thoughts. THEY might decide to run someone else in the next election. That's who you should write.

"I'm terribly sorry, Bob, but this letter from voter neoplacebo has convinced us that you're no longer a viable candidate." *BANG*

Thanks for the suggestion, but for now I think I'll stick with my established pattern...I like to imagine the staffers and acolytes who actually get these messages gnashing their teeth over it while they contemplate losing their jobs. I sort of think of it as psychological warfare.
