		<description>sigh...

&lt;blockquote&gt;House Republicans took to the floor last night to warn that the bill would impose &quot;tyranny,&quot; create a &quot;Big Brother&quot; government, and end religious freedom:&lt;/blockquote&gt;

IF your religion &#039;hates&#039; on the basis of gender/orientation and actively encourages the &#039;faithful&#039; to discriminate/hate on that basis, then it&#039;s time for some &#039;tyrannical&#039; RE-orientation by BIG government because you are just as much a twisted &#039;fu*ck as your favorite international punching bags (the Islamo-Facsists).

The reason there needs to be a NATIONAL (Big Brother) entity is that without them/US, you regional fear/hate mongers would STILL be denying black/white marriages and using slaves for your labor in your &#039;fuc*ked up&#039; white power backwaters.

NewsFlash ReThugs:  the US is getting younger and browner and more tolerant (except for theo-thugs like you) every day.  YOUR time is near over.  YOU are in danger of becoming that VERY obvious &#039;nail&#039; that stands out, it might just be time to moderate/sit down and shut the fuc*k up, or... not.  

Either way works for me.  It&#039;s easier to keep an eye on you when you&#039;re &#039;squeaking&#039;.</description>

		<description>I personally don&#039;t agree with hate crime laws. I think every crime against another individual, regardless of sexual preference, race, or creed, is rooted in hate. Hate crimes do nothing more than divide us further as it gives special considerations to certain groups. We&#039;re all Americans and we&#039;re all human. The same laws should apply to us all.


P.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert: &quot;You think..........that......the particular....child....{I&#039;m screwed}...&quot;</description>

		<description>So when are we going to hear &quot;Death to the infidels&quot; from the likes of Foxx and Bachmann? I now can deeply understand how the peaceful people of Islam must feel when their right wing spew out their hateful and dispicable remarks.</description>

		<description>Every time I see Bachmann, Boehner, Sanford, Perry,Palin, Cantor et al speak, I always ask myself, &quot;why did they forget to wear their white hoodies&#039;?&quot;

Bachmann is what you would call having extreme &#039;northern milita&#039; views.

Speaking with some of my friends a couple of weeks ago who live in Bachmann&#039;s district, &quot;they all want her to go away and most don&#039;t share her views.&quot;

to ElBruce I think he was talking about Virgina Foxx.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;upright left Says: 

And isn&#039;t it great that Spector switched parties? Perhaps if he&#039;s joined by a few more, they can bring the Democratic party back toward the center a little, where it was before so many of us found ourselves unable to support it anymore because it became the party of anything goes. &lt;/em&gt;

Beats the hell out of waiting for Republicans to provide reasonable opposition.

Seriously, &quot;blue dog&quot; Dems are the only effective brake we have on out-of-control spending right now.

Bachmann?  She&#039;s from Minnesota.  That&#039;s about as opposite of &quot;Southern&quot; as it gets.</description>

		<description>she is from a southern state cut her some slack.

look at the folks that represent those states.

they take more from the federal budget then they put in.

we should have let them have their own country.

united states is too big too govern.

these folks take pride in raising their children to fight in our wars for profits.

even call their kids heros.

just like the germans did when hitler invaded poland and france.

until we americans look into a mirror and see our imperialism nothing much will change in america.

we must drain the swamp and she needs to be the first to go.</description>

And even though your side calls you a &quot;nutcase&quot; and a &quot;Clinton ass sucker,&quot; they&#039;ve accepted you back into the fold for now so you just put it right out of your little mind. ;)

Well I&#039;m sure *SOME* of them do... Others *agree* with me and some even *LIKE* me... However *EVERYONE* on MY SIDE considers YOU to be a F**KKKING HOMOPHOBIC LOSER... I speak my MIND, and unlike the *CONS* that YOU BELONG TO they APPRECIATE THAT *EVENTUALLY* even when they don&#039;t AGREE with it. Your side is SO *INCAPABLE* of that you get a Specter *LEAVING* the party...

WOW, s*cks EVEN MORE to be YOU! ;)

Yeah, this one likes you as well.  

&lt;strong&gt;&quot;Speaking of RHF (aka VVGFU, btruthful),
You do know he(?) is just spouting $hit to get a response.
I&#039;ve learned long ago to ignore him(?) with his improper profanities and childish ridicules of the mentally challenged.
Just not worth the effort to debate/discuss, but it is humorous to watch his meltdown every time Zooey posts.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;

It&#039;s a good thing the only thing you all have ever disagreed about is Obama.  It&#039;s great that you came around, though.  

I voted for Obama, but I know how much trouble you have with that whole concept of voting for the candidate rather than the party, so I understand your confusion.  Don&#039;t you trouble yourself about it, bud.  

And isn&#039;t it great that Spector switched parties?  Perhaps if he&#039;s joined by a few more, they can bring the Democratic party back toward the center a little, where it was before so many of us found ourselves unable to support it anymore because it became the party of anything goes. 

You have yourself a great evening now, bud, and just forget all about that whole &quot;nutcase&quot; thing.  ;)</description>

Hey downright tarded, only 21% of Americans still have NO SHAME and call themselves REPUBLICANS! You should be SO PROUD for helping to DESTROY the GOP! I know we couldn&#039;t have done it WITHOUT &quot;USEFUL IDIOTS&quot; like YOURSELF with all of your GAY BASHING, RELIGIOUS ZEALOTRY and IDIOCY!!

Thanks CHIMP!! ROTFL!

Yeah, I&#039;d be feeling bad right about now if I was a Repub.  But I&#039;m not a Repub, so I&#039;m feeling pretty fantastic.  After all, my candidate won.  I&#039;m really sorry your candidate didn&#039;t make it, but she got a very cool consolation prize.  And even though your side calls you a &quot;nutcase&quot; and a &quot;Clinton ass sucker,&quot; they&#039;ve accepted you back into the fold for now so you just put it right out of your little mind. ;)</description>
