And I just found a reference to wanting to impose income taxes on the poor, so you were right in terms of policy, Typo, even if Romney didn't say it in that speech. oh dear, what is happening to our country? How can it be so divided against itself?
I seen you without your clothes on before. Never thought I'd see you naked.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
None of the Romney-supporting Republicans I know are the slightest bit fazed by his comments. They all seem to think that everyone on "welfare" (a broad term including all forms of government assistance that they themselves have never used) is a lazy no-goodnik who just needs to find and *learn to keep* a job.
I can't go on Facebook for a while. I can't believe I grew up with these people. How did I escape?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What I don't understand is how those people (THOSE PEOPLE) think people on welfare are half of the population.

Well, you know, there's a lot of blacks, Hispanics, and white trash in the U.S.

Oh, right. I forgot how this country is being taken over. Makes sense.

I'm sure all of the secret Muslims are on welfare too.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
The thing that's so funny to me about this epithet is that I know actual socialists, who live in a commune, who share all their belongings. By living in accordance with their view of biblical teachings.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
That the democratic base is made up entirely of people not paying federal income tax, who are receiving checks from the government, are voting for Obama only to continue receiving that money, and who are also lazy shiftless bums.
