mckinley: For many people, that's the wrong question to be asking. Who do you NOT want? Then vote the other way. I don't want Obama more than I don't want Mitt. ( a liberal friend calls him Mittens - which cracks me up everytime!)

Artful Dodger: Better "mittens" than his real name Willard

The Col: Could have been "Sue"

(V): If he was a Democrat, Republicans would be calling him Willard Mitt Romney.They seem to have a thing for including full names

The Col: If it was the "Sun" (newspaper) it'd probably be 'Ard Mitt'

The Col: Ahhh, didn't Willard have something to do with evil mice?

Artful Dodger: An evil Rat, actually

The Col: That was where Michael Jackson's song Ben came from I think. I love that song. Call me crazy.

Artful Dodger: Ben was basically Willard 2

The Col: Ahhhh, shows what I know. time to check out net flick. I've seen Ben I think. But I won't know until I watch it again.

I had a friend named Willard. He was a great guy and a retired preacher. We were chess buddies for years. He and his friends would come down for certain tournments (in MN - he was from WIS) and they'd stay at my home. We'd finish the tourneys and go home, eat pizza and play chess. Go to bed and then get up early to play more chess. Fun years. So "Willard" reminds of my friend: a very nice guy.

Artful Dodger: Imagine if you a a good friend named Hussein

The Col: Point taken.

I saw Silent Movie again a few weeks ago. Haven't seen it in decades.

Iamon lyme: that post needs to be moved to this board http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=58

Vikings: oops, my bad.

anybody coming to London for the Olympics? We have been asked to walk to work to save the transport system hahaha.

Eight people, including Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson, will face a total of 19 charges relating to phone hacking, the Crown Prosecution Service has said.

The two ex-News of the World editors are to be charged in connection with the accessing of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler's phone messages.

They are among seven of the now-defunct paper's former staff facing charges of conspiring to intercept communications.

The CPS said the charges related to 600 alleged victims between 2000 and 2006.

The revelation that 13-year-old Milly's phone had been hacked by the News of the World (NoW) after she went missing in Surrey in 2002 led to the closure of the Sunday tabloid newspaper in July last year.

It'd be more victims, but many of the celebs have taken out of court settlements.... thus, less embarrassing for NI!!

mckinley: Probably in the same tax havens that are used to hide at least $21,000,000,000,000 of taxable liquid assets worldwide.

We've just now learned from documents recently unearthed near area 51 that Kenya is the 56th state, so as it turns out Obama did not lie. He was born in the US of A.

Okay, he did lie about being born in Hawaii, but not really... he misspoke.

mckinley: I don't think Rice is the best choice. And Mittens will release his tax returns when the president releases his college transcripts and stops blocking access to his true long form birth certificate.

Conservative conspiracy theorists!!

The CIA, FBI and other agencies I think would be able to stop a fake citizen.

But.. buy the DVD and buy the book. IT'S your duty to buy them as a good Christian.. or so it was said on the youtube exclusive.

Obamas father was born in Hawaii. Two days later he walked to Kenya and gave birth to Obama, then he gave him to Rahm Emanuel and walked back to Hawaii. That's what really happened.

It must be true... no one in their right mind could just make this stuff up out of whole cloth.

Iamon lyme: If Obama was legit, why did he wait three years before releasing his long form certificate? And when he did, it was a proven forgery. Those without the facts mock. That's what ignorance does. OTOH, your theory sounds most plausible.

Artful Dodger: That is exactly the fringe conspiracy stuff that will eventually regulate the Republican party to the sidelines.It may play well to a certain few, but mainstream voters not only laugh, but are turned off by it

The Col: Unless it just so happens to be true.

Artful Dodger: It's a gamble Democrats would happily take, cuz the more often it comes up, the more it helps them amongst undecided voters.The "birthers" are the Republican answer to tree huggers and other fringe liberal groups.

The Col: The Founding Fathers were a fringe group. Jesus led a fringe group. Sounds like a good club.

Artful Dodger: I doubt the facts about where he was born is of little concern to those who want him in the oval office. The only reason Obama has been lying about this is that he cannot legitimately hold the highest office here unless he has been born here.

It wasn't an issue when he was a senator, so at that time there was no reason for him to not tell the truth. The story had to change for him to legitimately run for president, and a lot of people covered his backside to make it happen... and still are. After he is out of office the purpose for the lie will be gone, and only then will the truth about it be allowed to see the light of day.

No one wants to admit they were duped the first time around, so the issue won't work because as the Col said, "It's a gamble the Democrats would happily take.." I'll wager there are US citizens who don't even know why it's an issue in the first place.

Iamon lyme: And if it's ever proven that he's no eligible, all his executive orders, all his signed legislation is voided out. I have some proof somewhere that he's not US born. I'll dig it up.

Iamon lyme: Here it is. He's had surgery since this photo. http://www.riehlworldview.com/photos/uncategorized/obama_for_prez.jpg

I have proof!!

It says so in the Bible....

Revelation 7:1:
And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

Artful Dodger: The Democrats are literally gambling on this next election. They are shoving it all into the pot... either they will fundamentally change the US, or it will be their last hurrah until they can rewrite history to spoon feed to the next generation of voters.

If they succeed in fundamentally changing the US, it will be too late for anyone (including them) to complain about how those changes affect them.


I could be wasting ink here actually talking about this... maybe I'll go back to just posting funny looking pictures.

Artful Dodger: I guess I could talk and post links to pictures.. it's a free country, I can do both.

Iamon lyme: That picture I posted isn't meant to be funny. It was taken on his 30th birthday taken on the planet Obaumulan and super imposed against the WH. I have one of Rahm too.

And NO I did NOT Google this: http://www.vip.it/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/obama-ufo-pueblo1nov08.jpg

Artful Dodger: "I have one of Rahm too."

bring it on...

I'm sending one of those chain saw links to my son who is in the Navy.. it looks like him. I want him to show it to his wife, I think she will agree with me. heh heh heh heh heh...

Artful Dodger: "I did NOT Google this:"

I knew it!!! Oh, they all laughed at me when I told them, but who is laughing now...

bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha....

Michele without makup http://images.wikia.com/memoryalpha/en/images/7/7a/M_113_Creature.jpg

Artful Dodger: I don't look so good first thing in the morning either.

Iamon lyme:

Looking at Art's cartoons. The funny thing is that Romney is really, really better than Obama. Romney is really, really going to change Washington for the better. Romney really represents the working man and not some big corporate interests like other presidents have done since the end of WW I.

Übergeek 바둑이: ... He has to respect the Tea Party! His pension fund might go down otherwise

Übergeek 바둑이: Which cartoons?
