Obviously, studies have proven (other sources HERE) that folks like Mitt Romney who abuse animals and show blatant disregard for their lives (another horrific example HERE) are more likely to become serial killers and axe murderers than those of us who have demonstrated no previous history of such abhorrent behavior.
Mitt Romney fits the profile to a “T” and also has apparently “wooed” a less-than-motivated (let’s just say “free food” was definitely a HUGE FACTOR in the turnout – The Politico) 14,000-plus Iowa Republican voters to “just say yes” in choosing the potential serial killer over any other Republican candidate for President in the Ames straw poll…
From The Atlantic Online:
AMES: Romney WIns; Huckabee In Second
Gov Mitt Romney won the 2007 Ames straw poll, receiving 4516 votes, or 31%. …”
(Snip!)
“… Iowa state auditor David Vaudt unofficially certified the results.
14,203 ballots were cast.”
Apparently, enough Iowan Republican voters prefer to replace one person with ZERO regard for any form of life other than a far-right Republican with another person exactly like him, as evidenced by the results of this straw poll…
Alrighty then. I STILL say “irrelevant“, in the same sense the State of Iowa is also quickly becoming “irrelevant”; at least, when it comes its order of importance in determining who the occupants of our Oval Office will be in this day and age.
Straw polls are harmless, my fellow Americans in Iowa of the “Republican” persuasion. I just caution you to THINK before you pull those voting levers for REAL…

HA! I saw the ping over at Hot Air and thought, “WTF?! Oh, it’s just GTL.”
Ya goof.
hahahahahaha

My gosh you are nuts! Its people like you who are destroying American politics. Its SICKENING.

Maybe its just me but the picture is just bit over the edge Gunny?
I don’t like Mitt at all and he was my Governor. I don’t like people that have abused animals in any way shape or form either. Ummm, did we forget the GTL format of attacking the message and not the messenger? Just a thought Bro.

Bro… politicians are fair game…. we attack politicians here, we simply don’t personally attack we “normal foke”…
PERSONALLY attacking politicians is HIGHLY encouraged here

Y’all, I think GTL is just goofing on him. He’s not crazy, y’know.
(OK, yes, “crazy” like “wild ‘n’ crazy guy,” but not OMG-I’m-hallucinating-crazy like a Ron Paul supporter.)
By the way, you know how those Mormons are. Like talking to aliens and shit. Weird E.T. rituals worshipping some Cthulu zombie-inhabited planet, even. They eat kittens, too!
(Just wait until you hear about the evil antics of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton!!!1!)

You are wacked out. Get some help. Find another way to inject meaning into your obviously meaningless life.

Karpindur,
I am a conservative, and I really don’t have a problem with Romney (except for that kitten-eating, E.T. thing–I’m KIDDING!). I DO have a problem, though, with trolls who take a drive-by shit in my friend’s comments.
You don’t know GTL, but I do–and he’s not a shit-eating puke bastard, he’s not wacked out, and his life is not meaningless. In fact, you might be surprised to know that you and he probably agree on quite a few issues.
Shut up or ship out.

(I still think yer wrong about hunting and Romney, though, GTL.)
1:12 pm on August 12th, 2007 10
Heh… I friggin’ LOVE ya, Beth… comin’ on over here and keepin’ the driveby’s in line for me…
I’m not worthy!

Guns, put down the chocolate covered expresso beans, turn off your DVD player and eject the disk. 48 hours of watching Psyco over and over is enough. Just glad you lost your copy of Night of the Living Dead.

Heh, Joe… seems this one’s caused quite a “stir”…
I just hate it when that happens

I’m calling your Mom Gunny!!!! LOL!!!
All due respect and apologies intended if she is no longer with us. BUTT, big old hairy BUTT, if she is your ass is in for a whooopin my friend…lol!!!
11:00 pm on August 12th, 2007 14
Heh… she’s with us. In fact, I was just over visiting my parents (hardcore GOP) and they just shook their heads at this one

Sorry to butt in so late… butt “Beth” must have been reading the Daily Kos or something. EVERYBODY knows that the Democrats are the ones who kill and eat kittens. (And puppies, and pet hamsters (after they’ve already been up their…)) But anyway, it is also a well-known fact that republicans only eat grizzly bears that we have killed with a switch or a Cub Scout pocket knife, and skinned and cleaned with our bare hands, cooked over a fire we started by rubbing two democrats together (No I don’t mean Bill and Monica). No kittens. No puppies. And especially no democrat hamsters. Maybe a donkey now and then, especially during an election year.
Anyway, on a different subject, it is great to see Mat and Mike over here again.
And, GTL, I saw your post on one of the other threads. My school work load this year is heavier than I thought it would be. Who’d have guessed that a master’s level program would be more work than an undergrad program? Not me! I try to ‘troll’ by here whenever I can, and I sometimes hit Mike and Papamoka’s blogs too. Due to scheduling issues, I will not finish until May (instead of March). I’m betting the democrats are responsible for this but I’m just not sure yet if it was Bill or Hillary or the anti-christ Obama.

Beth
Sorry for the hit. Really. Sincerely. Normally I shy away from such things, but the net makes such things so easy, and what with the hangover and all..It just seemed like the easiest way to wrap things up at the time.
Also did not realize this is a clique. I will “shut up”, “ship out” and leave you folks alone with your druthers.
later.
