We should kill more people faster. Maybe then can Burk enjoy his Soylent Green in peace. lol Does that go with white wine, or red?
I think Bil was Monica's conquest. Otherwise why would Linda Tripp know so damn much about the whole bloody affair? Bill was probably used to getting to creampie, but not with her.
Obama makes sure to creampie, that or he has his litle flings done in like Vince Foster, but better hidden away, like crab bait hidden away.

So, this happened.
Romney's closed door candour was something of a refreshing turn. Like with Obama talking 'bout rural America's obsession with guns and god. The contents of the statement really don't matter to me, I'm more curious as to whether this matters in the election at this point. There's something fatalistic about it, as if everything is set in stone and they're not even bothering trying to convince the Other about their position, just a small minority of... I have no idea.
If this is all politics is down to, no wonder there are these heated battles over nonsense like voter ID laws. It saves so much effort just to subvert democracy rather than going through the messy process of examining your positions critically and trying to persuade people of your positions.
What makes it all the more depressing is that this deep chasm Romney depicted, of an unreachable gap between hardened social parasites and rugged individuals, looks like a pothole to the rest of the observant world. Like arguing between mint and winter-fresh.
If I pointed this out, which I think I have, that's one thing -- Romney doing it, it's just pathetic.

As you mentioned, Nikk, Obama has pandered to his crowds as well. It's a fundraiser for a guy going up against the man who raised more money during an election year than anyone else in history - you say what you gotta say.
Will it affect the election? Hell yes. Obama's going to bring that up at every possible turn without a second's thought. That's what I'd do if I were him and he's got advisers that are far more intelligent than I am.

How many conservatives answer the phone, when the pollsters call? Is the percentage different, or do more independent minded people not answer the phone because they are sick and tired of robo-calls asking for money or selling crap no one wants or needs? So is the premise of a scientific poll actually not realized due to an unscientific poll being conducted? Oh, sure, within 5% +-. So it's within the statistical margin of error still that Romney could actually be ahead? I can guarantee Obama is not beyond 6 sigma of certainty of winning a second chance a making America a complete disaster area.

Very interesting chart from the Economist. Especially the one on the right.
