    A thread about a GOP frontrunner is now officially an Obama thread?

    Me gusta.

    I can't seem to remember, basso, but care to tell us what you thought about the birther stuff? It could explain a lot.

    Though I am curious why the far right's all of a sudden become interested in the transcripts. You've had the last 3 or 4 years to do that. Not to mention I have no idea why "Magna c*m Laude" from only the most prestigious school in the nation isn't good enough. Or rather I do know, but I'll let you explain why anyways.

    Good job, you've read some history.

    But since you made the insinuation, I'll go ahead and ask you directly. Since Obama is clearly a socialist, is he a Nazi?

    to the latter point first, dunno, but, contra Batty, the two attributes are not mutually exclusive.

    tbh, i waxed and waned on the birther stuff. as of this moment, i'm reasonably convinced the "long form" COLB was photoshopped. that said, it's also immaterial- dude was elected president and nothing about the birther controversy will change that.

    still fun to have fun with.

    It's hard to avoid his BS when you guys keep quoting him. He's fallen so far that he's become a caricature of his previous D&D persona. He posts crap he doesn't believe simply to get those crazy enough to read his posts exercised over the nonsense. You are all feeding the troll. At least switch to dog food.

    You think a corporatist middle of the the road Democrat of the Chicago machine tradition is certainly a socialist but maybe a Nazi. Whatever the Karl Rove lite- pays you to defecate on this message board is too much.

    And this is from a guy for whom "fat peoples rights" is a crux issue....loser.

    Perry’s immigration record

    Reflecting the close ties of his state to Mexico, Perry is to the left of the center of gravity of the rest of the party on the issue. Most significantly, he signed a Texas version of the DREAM Act back in 2001, allowing foreign-born children of illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition for college if they have lived in the state for three years prior to graduating high school. He explained, “We must say to every Texas child learning in a Texas classroom, ‘We don’t care where you come from, but where you are going, and we are going to do everything we can to help you get there.’ And that vision must include the children of undocumented workers.” He stood by the law in a recent interview, although he opposes the federal version. . . . He also opposed the Arizona immigration law. He criticized it on grounds that it would “turn law-enforcement officers into immigration officials,” and said it wouldn’t be right for Texas.

    via CNN --

    Texas governor and Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry at a campaign stop on Thursday was pressed on his views on evolution.

    "It's a theory that's out there, Perry said. "It's got some gaps in it. In Texas we teach both Creationism and evolution."

    I was on an email group that guy posted to. He was unhinged during the last gubernatorial race spamming about Perry's sex life. I don't know if Perry had sex with his wife or brother, or what, but it was really nuts. I had to quit the email group, even though it was good for organizing at times.

    I saw Rick Perry and Vince Young at the Yellow Rose. There were no strippers around them but each was shirtless, dancing and sipping from a bottle of Patron.

    Kinda weird.
