		<description>So, how was that very expensive Mexican dinner?

So, Taco Bell got you strapped?

You got a Pay Pal account, I will send you a little cash. I hate to see Americans being broke.

Piece of advice Pudge, save your money. We know you lower middle class guys don&#039;t have a pot to piss in so offering to pick up the tab when it&#039;s not your turn just shows us what a loser you are. Oh...dinner was OK, I would have been just as happy with the #4 from Taco Bell.</description>

It doesnâ€™t matter what you â€˜debateâ€™ about Christianity, because youâ€™ve already stated you believe that immorality, corruption, and bribery are â€˜goodâ€™.

I WAS going to grace you with a little bit of my time and that, against my better judgement. Thanks, now I don&#039;t have to..... Next.</description>

Drooling on my shirt? Okay, whatever.

Although I must say, it is nice to have the real I-RIGHT-I back. Your stand in don&#039;t do you justice. They write whole paragraphs of explanation, providfe links to their side of the story and don&#039;t call anybody names. You outta tell them to stop pretending to be you, because nobody can make you look more like a racist retard than yourself.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;So does this mean that dumbocrats will stop voting to slash the military budgets? Is this an example of what occurs when douche bags like John Kerry vote to send men to war then vote not to fund them?&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

This doesn&#039;t have anything to do with budgets dickhead.

Fromt he article I posted, which you apparently didn&#039;t read:

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Such armor has been available since 2003, but until recently the Pentagon has largely declined to supply it to troops despite calls from the field for additional protection, according to military officials.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

That would be the White House run Pentagon you dumbass.</description>

Wapish! 

Comment by Gordon the Magnificent #327

Gordon the Maggotfu**ingbushite,

No this is what happens when corrupt, megalomaniacal, incompetent, lying, thieving, mass murdering, cowards like your gods Bushiva and L&#039;il Dick rush to unnecessary war under false pretenses, without having properly equipped the troops... 

Ask yourself two key ???s : 

what was the rush? 

who benefits the most from this war? (follow the money inbred)

Gordy you (and your inbred Bushite worshippers) hate America!  You hate our way of life, and our troops. You would rather have your children ritually sacrificed or raped by wild dogs than have your gods Bushiva and L&#039;il Dick disgraced, and brought to justice!  But you&#039;re all going to get what you&#039;ve got coming to your treasonous, anti-American, facist carcasses, as your White House from hell is slowly falling apart.  There will be accountability for the crimes this administration and its benefactors and enablers have committed, or we will never be a union at peace! 

Do us all a favor and save us the trouble of having to hunt your sorry a** down, eat that weapon you&#039;re so fond of sticking up your Bush-gored nether region...

How many times a day do you pray to Bushiva and L&#039;il Dick?</description>

		<description>Chris Matthews&#039; intense hatred of the Clintons totally disqualifies him as a source of fairness, (he&#039;s MSNBC&#039;s Clinton-hating, Fox surrogate).


Anyway, I read that a DeLay trip to London (where they lodged at the luxurious and exorbitantly expensive &quot;Four Seasons&quot; Hotel- I believe) cost over $100,000 for one week.

One of the major pet peeves I have about the media is that there aren&#039;t any more &quot;investigative&quot; reporters.  The media has the resources to follow the money trails these corrupt politicians and corporate crooks make, (ie., hiding assets with family members other than immediate household).  I&#039;d be willing to bet that if we had a few good Moyers, Morrows, and Cronkites, (and the cooperation of the media corporate bosses- but then why would the co-conspirators &quot;honestly&quot; investigate themselves), the buried treasure of these criminals could be unearthed with relative ease.

These sleaze bag politicians and corporate executive pirates don&#039;t care if they get caught, (why else would DeLay, Cunningham et al have been so careless, brazen and callous?), because the risk-reward ratio makes their graft and corruption well worth it.  

How many of us wouldn&#039;t spend three-to-five in &quot;Club Fed&quot;, then come home to millions?  Just ask Michael Milken (the junk bond king) if a couple of billion isn&#039;t worth 3 puny years?

How about the media&#039;s (and GOP&#039;s) new &quot;messiah-for prez&quot; John &quot;Mr. Fake-as*ed Integrity&quot; McCain how easy it is to have the public forgive one&#039;s financial indiscretions- especially if you&#039;re a WASP war hero.  The public seems to have forgotten how Mr. Integrity was neck deep in the &quot;savings and loan&quot; scandal, and media is practically ramming this crooked bast**d down our collective throats as the next great hope for prez...

The only way we&#039;re going to break the backs of corrupt politicians and their corporate sponsors is to issue out (mandatory minimum state prison) hard time, seize all assets (family&#039;s included that can&#039;t be accounted for), and guarantee total ruination of these offenders financially and professionally.  Until then, we&#039;re only using a 16 oz. cup to put out a Texas-sized brushfire.</description>

		<description>&quot;Hey, itâ€™s winding down. Gordo Gekko give up yet? No? I was thinking, what would attract a guy like him to a website named ThinkProgress. I mean, progress is exactly what he doesnâ€™t want. Progress means equality - for women, for minorities, for gays. What GG wants is a return to the days when girls were girls and men were men, and itâ€™s not a matter of syllables filling the line in the song (or it would be girls and boys), itâ€™s the gender that remains a child vs. the one who gets to be an adult.

GG is like the gambler who keeps placing one final bet, the one that will recoup all the lost money. When he finally gives up, he grabs his wifeâ€™s arm, and shuttles her home, or to the hotel room, and beats on her for making him lose. Only our GGâ€™s money is dignity, and apparently heâ€™s got no one to beat up (witness his staying here so long). Instead he thinks that one more post will defeat us, or force us to come to our senses - his senses - and when he grows too groggy to continue, he pretends heâ€™s won and throws his parting shot, grumbles to himself, and emerges unscathed.

By which I mean manages to learn absolutely nothing about himself. And yes, heâ€™s in denial at least as much as heâ€™s crying â€œprojectionâ€ without any idea what it means.&quot;

It&#039;s still whining? 3AM and this freak is so obsessed with me she had to come back. LMFAO.</description>
