3. "What voter hasn't thought that?" Oh, I don't know...
perhaps anyone who supports Hillary? Anyone who thinks that referring to her as a "bitch" is, at best, misguided?

It's amazing how people think that they can apply their own views to the views of everyone else. Everyone must think just like I do.

6. The Glen Beck Evasion
Remember how he explained that he simply says what people are "really" thinking? He may be right, but he should consider that maybe there's a REASON why they think it but not say it!

10. This is what angers me to no end. Any comment that is...
considered to be controversial stated by a Democrat is quickly condemned and they apologize. When it is a Republican, there is no apology whatsoever! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

11. McCain would have been better served by being the gentleman
on that question.

15. That might be a stretch too far
whereas...
diaper-wearin' bathroom tappin' baby-buggerin' deficit-drivin' water-boardin' warmongers
might be closer to the truth
