		<description>Yeah, weâ€™re all half-wits, so why bother argueing(SIC) with us. Trolls, we are! Just because we have the gall to disagree with you? Would it be easier if we just left you all to preach to your choir?
Comment by Mr. O. Bigfoot

Yes, you are a troll.  However, TP allows trolls to post their arguments here, as long as they don&#039;t get too vulgar, unlike rightwing blogs such as redstate, which ban even the mildest criticism of Bush and rightwing policies.</description>

		<description>And Lora, if â€œprogressivesâ€, like yourself, donâ€™t support allowing minors access to porn, then I ask that you publicly, in this forum, disavow the ACLU. In fact, I challenge you all to either put up or shut up.
Comment by O. Bigfoot â€”

No, Mr. Bigfoort in the Mouth,
You just wrote a long defense of Mormons making money off of porn or working in the gambling industry, even though your religion is against such things.  Now read this very carefully: there is a difference between saying &quot;My religion doesn&#039;t support that, but I won&#039;t interfere with other people&#039;s rights to engage in that,&quot; and &quot;My religion doesn&#039;t support that, but I&#039;ll make money off of it even though I don&#039;t like it.&quot;  The former is tolerant behavior; the second is hypocritical behavior.
I will not denounce the ACLU here, because I can agree with much of its work, though not all.  There are good reasons why even known conservatives like former Congressman Bob Barr (very active in trying to impeach Clinton) work for it.</description>

		<description>i&gt;Progressives/liberals do not support selling porn to minors. And the
G(rostesque)O(ld)P(erverts) is the party of pedophiles.

Comment by Lora â€” July 5, 2007 @ 11:19 pm


Seems to me only one party (and all of its satellite groups) supports, and is supported by, NAMBLA.  

And it AIN&#039;T the Republican party.</description>

		<description>Yeah, we&#039;re all half-wits, so why bother argueing with us.  Trolls, we are!  Just because we have the gall to disagree with you?  Would it be easier if we just left you all to preach to your choir?

Regarding the Romney so-called &quot;scandal&quot;:

As a member of the LDS Church, same as Romney, I happen to know for a fact that many &quot;Mormons&quot; also work in the casino/gaming industry in Nevada.  It doesn&#039;t mean we agree with gambling, it just means that we believe human beings have the fundamental right to choose for themselves the path they follow, and we actually FOLLOW those beliefs, rather than merely pay those beliefs lip-service and attempt to dictate how others should live.  

Mitt Romney followed the dictates of his religious beliefs, regardless of his personal opinion concerning porn.  I would think you would respect him for his actions.  Regardless, the whole thing is non-issue.  What scandal?  It&#039;s not even being covered in the &quot;normal&quot; news outlets.  Oh, but I did hear the story about how Mitt strapped the dogs car carrier to the roof of his car with the dog in it....they wen&#039;t of vacation...and nothing happened!  You all need to quite grasping at straws..but whatever floats your boat.  By all means, keep discussing all this nonsense while the real world, and election cycle, goes by. 

And Lora, if &quot;progressives&quot;, like yourself, don&#039;t support allowing minors access to porn, then I ask that you publicly, in this forum, disavow the ACLU.  In fact, I challenge you all to either put up or shut up.

What&#039;s even more laughable is this whole bunch of BS about Fred Thompson and.......Watergate???  

Watergate????

That dog is pushing 35 years old.  A good portion of today&#039;s voting population doesn&#039;t even know what Watergate is..they weren&#039;t even friggin&#039; born yet!  The only thing they know about President Nixon is what they&#039;ve learned on &quot;Futurama!&quot; for chrissakes!!  Keep on a&#039; wishin&#039; an&#039; hopin&#039; an&#039; prayin&#039; etc. etc.  

Watergate is ancient history, the story is old news, and won&#039;t gain any traction.  Who the hell reads the Huffington Post?  Do you really picture a bunch of hard-core conservative Republicans huddled around the computer defecting to the Democratic party after reading the Huffington Post???   All I can say is:  Dream On.  

Yup, Bill Kristol, Michelle Malkin, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity...all reading the Huffington Post, looking for a new direction in life....man, is that funny!</description>

Flakehead,
Halfwits like you would do less harm to the world if you focused on vaginas or boy&#039;s buttocks or your own twisted member (optional choice)  than try to conquer and destroy everything.  But thanks, anyway, for admitting that you are a halfwit.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Shifty Mitt is now engulfed in a porn scandal. Seems the Marriott Hotels, of which Shifty Mitt was a board member, made lots of money from pay-per-view-porn. If only Shifty Mitt had stood up against porn and for family values he wouldnâ€™t be in the Mitt-shit.

Comment by GSD &lt;/i&gt;

Yeah, the party of Barney Frank is offended.  

If this laughable story actually had any truth to it, you&#039;d all be trying to recruit Mitt to run as a Democrat.  

But the truth is that Romney was on the board of directors of Marriot and didn&#039;t try to intervene to stop the hotel chain&#039;s sale of in-room pay-per-view pornographic movies, because, he says: &quot;I am not pursuing an effort to try and stop adults from being able to acquire or see things that I find objectionable; that&#039;s their right. But I do vehemently oppose practices or business procedures that will allow kids to be exposed to obscenity.&quot;

Now, if he HAD objected, you&#039;d be whining about &quot;fascism.&quot;

You freaks are wacko.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;My investigation uncovered a great deal of evidence that White House officials conducted a systematic campaign to discredit Joe Wilson, and that disclosing the identity of his wife, who was a covert CIA operative, was part of that campaign.

Joe Wilson discredited himself just fine, thank you, as the 9/11 commission report clearly noted, in painful (for Wilson) detail.  

In this town, they say you can indict a ham sandwich.  When it came to the supposed &quot;outing&quot; of a supposedly &quot;covert&quot; agent, I didn&#039;t even have enough evidence to do that.  

I rest my non-case.

&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Those who claim that a lack of charges filed for that crime is proof that no crime occurred are mistaken at best, dishonest at worst.&lt;/i&gt;

When it comes to Whitewater, cattle futures, billing records, and the like, I&#039;m glad you finally agree.</description>

The hypocrisy of making  lots of money  off of porn doesn&#039;t particularly surprise me.  I was more appalled at his mistreatment of his dog.</description>

		<description>You keep making reference to â€œouting a CIA agentâ€â€“ some anti-Americans make the claim that, because I did not file any charges relating directly to that offense, that this means that &quot;no underlying crime&quot; occurred.

Nothing could be further from the truth. As I made clear in several official court filings, the perjury and obstruction of justice for which Mr. Libby was convicted essentially threw sand in the eyes of the umpire, making it impossible to determine the truth of the matter.

		<description>Henry Cisneros, who served as secretary of Housing and Urban Development during Clintonâ€™s first term in office. He was convicted of making false statements to FBI agents conducting a background investigation of him when he was nominated to the Cabinet post in 1993. They included misleading investigators about cash payments he made to a former mistress.

Yeeaaahhâ€¦ thatâ€™s right on par w/ helping to out an active CIA agentâ€¦

You keep making reference to &quot;outing a CIA agent&quot;--is there something I missed?  I&#039;m pretty sure I brought no such charges.

If you have evidence to the contrary, I&#039;d love to hear it.</description>
