If only Lee Mercer could have snagged the Dem nomination, his campaign skills - so clearly superior to McCain's - would surely have put him over the top. I'm drinking a (pedestrian! Of the People!) Chianti tonight for this debate, Lee. And this next one is for you.

11. Sorry. I hope I didn't awake the MUMAs here. But now they have their own sites.
The Mercer Understood Method of Education crowd.

I remember them posting here during the primary season and then moving on to their own sites, like leemercerforum.net or LeeIs44.com.

Didn't mean to open any of the three wounds.

26. It's tough, though. The heart is a lonely hunter.
No one else can write or speak like this:

THE DISCIPLINE OF THE US GOVERNMENT RELIGIONS ENFORCEMENT:

There is some concern about the U.S. Government Religions enforcements. I will enforce the U.S. Government Religions enforcement regulating its enforcements itself with its regulations pertaining to itself and according to its enforcements.

*heavy sigh*

15. WHAT Does This Mean? (From His Biography-- Scratching Head)
http://www.mercerforpresident2008.com/61ef56b176271955f090407ba0f48cbd.html

"On August 22, 1992, The State of Texas installed an intelligence hotwire in me at the United States Army Military Intelligence Academy Camp Bullis San Antonio, Texas.

The continuation of my biography background experience, graduate education and political experience is being held because of a Lack of authorities debriefing funds and interest for their liability to me.

I am in a stalled police debriefing with the Houston Police Department waiting for me to sue to complete my debriefing for my background biography with them in the United States Army Military Intelligence Academy Camp Bullis San Antonio, Texas The University of Texas ROTC to West Point Military Academy U.S. Navy doctorate degree in Police Science."

21. Ah yes, political gold, isn't it? It's the kind of eloquence so much better than McCain's.
Lee Mercer never once relied on "My friends" as a bridge to his next statement.

He boldly spoke his piece, whatever (?) that might be.

Talk about Straight Talk Express!

I'm sorry, I'm tearing up now. . .

24. If you search for meaning, you are on the wrong path.

And are probably ripe for debriefing from Army Military Intelligence (all three) to boot.

32. The Genius appears to be writing a piece that defies absolute interpretation...
I'm more inclined to believe it is a literal translation of Bush's dream sequences during REM sleep phase, when he imagines himself to be a discriminated against black man who is trying to make his way in the world with a white father and lunatic mother who pushed brother Jeb to abuse him as a child, and the resultant mental trauma of dealing with transferred feelings of having been abducted and abused by aliens(from across the border, not flying around in UFOs) causing him to run for public office so that he can right the wrongs being perpetrated on the AMerican people (just like him) and deliver capital punishment to the aliens and dictators of the world who hate minorities and are conspiring to steal the money of Texas Oil Companies, raise taxes, and interfere with MLB Baseball Teams competing in the World Series.

Mercer is a treasure.

16. Sure, Obama may have been President of the Harvard Law Review
but was he a road scholar?

This election would have been more of a landslide if Mercer were the nominee.

Mercer 2012! (all three)

well, she'd still be a piece of bearshit...

but Wetzelbill could have made a fortune from all the pictures...

not to mention the lifetime of residuals from the videos...

28. Not at all. The goats were paid extras appearing in an agriculture first ad....
It is plainly spurious innuendo and smearing that the goats' character was somehow impugned.

36. Whatever do you mean? Wetzelbill/Kurovski are way ahead in the polls.
In a manner of speaking.

The Gaily Forward Express is driving hard and fast. We're coming to a state near you.

Shadow governments hold elections too, you know.

Viva la Agenda! Dry those tears.
